Top 5 reasons to move to Mexico that nobody talks about

Leaving politics back home is a great habit to practice!

I was born in and lived in the USA for 45 years. I went to Mexico in 2006 to learn Spanish. I figured I'd spend a total of 6 months there. Except for a few visits back to the USA, I've been living here ever since 2006 - almost 18 years now. Last time I went to the USA was in 2012. I have absolutely no desire to return to the USA. The thought of going back is actually scary.

I love Mexico. As a Canadian with a 4 year temporary residency, who just got her RFC#, I'm ready to build my home and business. Just waiting to sign the deed. Got a well respected builder in the area. Love the fresh food! Love the community vibe here. Restarting my life. Best decision I ever made.

The biggest change with me when I’m there is all the body pain seems to go away. It’s unbelievable. Back in the US doctors can’t explain it.

Reason 6, you never have to shovel snow again.😀

I definitely eat better, walk more, glad to never discuss politics, have lost weight, continue to learn and perfect my Spanish, and have a Mexican partner. That and I can afford to pay people to work on my home, which I could not afford to do in the US, and obviously as I age doing it all myself will be impossible.

One thing I would like to add to the politics topic is that no one is mentioning the fact that in the event of war Mexico maintains neutrality. Being that there is a lot of political unrest in the world today, Mexico is a pretty safe haven for those who are suffering from political anxiety.

Love how you show the streets instead of yourself like so many other travel video. Great Job.

When I lived in the US my skin was full of pimples, I moved to Mexico and my skin cleared of all that

We relocated to Morelia, Michoacan, almost three years ago. I'm from Reno, Nevada and my wife is a Mexican citizen. Living here, has been a wonderful experience. The people, culture, architecture, the food, and the lack of stress are ALL reasons to come to Mexico. The US has become unbearable. Good video!

I did not move here for political reasons and have zero patience with people who dragged those issues and their anger down here with them. And I would add that the Mexican people for the most part do not want to hear about it either. They will be polite but they don’t care. Leave your issues at the border, is what I find myself saying. It must take so much energy hanging onto that anger

I moved two years ago, all what you’ve said, but also I learn something new everyday, also meet new people as well. It’s a breath of fresh air there. I love the fact that if I want to ride my bike, paddle board or hike, I can any day! That’s different than Canada, with all the weather. Thank you for your video!!

I love how we nearly always greet each other here! It seems so cold to me not to now after 12 years in Mx.

Great video and for me it would be first three reasons ,when we visit we always feel better than home 😀🌴

Here I am watching your video, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as I am getting ready to head south down to Guanajuato, in the central highlands of Mexico for the winter. Personally, I prefer the higher elevations in Mexico and not the beach towns, for the main reason that there are too many mosquitoes on the beach, and I would get eaten alive. Guanajuato, where I usually stay, is very high in elevationn, and has very few mosquitoes, even in the summer. Regarding your five reasons - and maybe a few of my own - everyone is different, and has to manage their lives differently, and there is no one size that fits all. For me, for example, I have chronic digestive and intestinal issues that don't have me doing that well with a lot of the Mexican food - can't eat chiles, greasy fried food, too much meat, all of which Mexico has in abundance. My gut biome is very weak, so I really need to watch sanitation and food cleanliness, and I have to take several months' supply of mega high potency probiotics, much higher dosage than is available in Mexico, with me each time I go. But the Mexican herbs keep me going, and I have found a miraculous herb for inflammatory / autoimmune bowel disease, which I have: CHAPPARO AMARGO! It has helped me tremendously, and even increased my tolerance of various foods. I would heartily recommend it to anyone suffering from colitis, Crohn's disease, food allergies and intolerances, or irritable bowel. There are also a lot of great local herbs for managing blood sugar and type two diabetes, which is another health concern of mine. And yeah - healthcare really sucks in the US - all the bureaucracy and red tape really sucks, but in Mexico, you can walk into a Farmacia, many of which have doctors consulting there, like Farmacias Similares, and the doctor can order an A1C test or any other health test you need, all for a nominal fee, and it's sooo convenient! Of all your five reasons, the one that resonated the most with me was starting new habits. And perhaps the number one habit that you need to break, especially if you're coming from the US, is the habit of plopping in a car - time to get out and walk! Guanajuato, with all its steep hills and alleyways, gives me a great workout, and the exercise factor alone seems to have a very beneficial effect in lowering my blood sugar. So try to get yourself into a situation where you're not driving everywhere, OK?

Totally agree. One of the most disturbing things I see in Canada these days is immigrants demonstrating their old-world problems, animosity and hatred on our streets and in our universities. When I'm in Mexico as an immigrant, I have to check myself that I don't bring my issues out in public. It can be a bad habit, which is another issue you addressed in your excellent 5-point chat. Thanks.

Nice video! I recently chose Isla Aguada is the State of Campeche. It’s a “Pueblo Magico” as well. I Chose here for the pristine white sand beach, being able to live on the actual beach has been a dream of mine since I was just a kid. To make it a reality now still has me in tears. It’s still a close 3 hour car drive to Merida (soon 1hr & 1/2 train ride) with the Tren Maya (Mayan Train) that opens December 15th. Entire train route Completely finishes by early February. I’m 47 yrs, I find it fascinating to be able to hope on the train and will be able to travel to Chiapas, Tabasco, Cancun, Tulum, Merida and Bacalar to name some in just a quick 1 to few hours whenever I’d like to visit all those amazing places. Exciting actually! Best of luck to all in finding your new forever home in Mexico. Have great food, drink well and live it up as we all have just one life to live. Blessings to everyone and Happy Holidays.

Number one would be political then food and health. Thanks Paul! Looking forward to your upcoming interview!

I live and work in the United States. But when I'm in México I feel relieved. I think is funny when people ask me if it's safe. For cheese sake. We have continuous and random mass shootings in the United States where mostly just regular civilians are targeted. Yes, people in Mexico are great.

I registered my son in Bucerias in 1997 when I was living in Puerto Vallarta, greetings from Veracruz.
