Really thoughtful piece. Thank you Forrest and Mariana. I appreciated his perspective on being curious, letting Mexico change you to be a little less aggravated, and becoming more flexible (his example of trying to pay the utility bill at multiple Oxxos) :).

BAY AREA!!! I love this content! It's nice to hear from people who have settled in neighborhoods that AREN'T the typical "expat destinations". I don't need to see any more videos about people living in Roma Norte or La Condesa in Mexico City, lol. I lived in the town of Sonoma for about 6 years before relocating to Berkeley about 15years ago, so it's nice to see a fellow Bay area person living in Mexico. My wife and I are thinking about how we can make early retirement financially viable and relocation to Mexico is one of the ways we are considering that would make that possible. We are city people (and expect to be for the foreseeable future), so Guadalajara and Mexico City are at the top of our list of possible landing spots.

Nice to hear how respectful he is toward Mexican people and culture.

Sound is perfect! Thank you for sharing this!

Informative video! I appreciate the comments about grentrification and the importance of not overpaying for rents.

I can hear the audio perfectly on my phone. Great video and agree with everything Forest mentioned.

This is - in my opinion - the BEST YT Travel video I have ever seen. The fact that its about Guadalajara is irrelevant (although Im planning to go very soon). This guy really knows his stuff. He's honest, calm, balanced, and knows what he is talking about (both the good and bad stuff). He should get a job as a tour guide or planner. Bravo to everyone. Well done.

Two thumbs up. What a beautiful and insightful interview. I share all the sentiments and sensitivities about this complex city and the Mexican culture.

Great video (and audio 😊). What kind of "run in" with the police caused them to "take" your bicycle?

Great interview!

Great message presented in video.

I should check your area out, next time I’m in Guadalajara. I’ve been there twice, and haven’t yet fallen in love with it. I love all the trees, like you mentioned. I think that’s one of my favorite things about CDMX.

I love hearing these stories!

My family is from Jamay and I’ve been thinking of moving back. My mom came up here in the 80s and we’d go through Guadalajara to get to Jamay. I miss the beauty and hope I can be back soon

Just to clarify, there are not less trees in Providencia than in Ladrón de Guevara. It's actually the opposite. Providencia has 8 important parks and two linear parks in Pablo Neruda and Montevideo, and it's next to the biggest urban forrest, Los Colomos. Ladrón de Guevara has none. And both have tall trees in the sidewalks. If he was hotter in his Providencia apartment it's not Providencia's fault. It's the apartment situation in relation to the sun.

I have wanted to immigrant to Mexico (Guadalajara) for about a year now. I am getting a ticket next month and stay there for a week to see how it is and then I plan to find me a small apartment and start living. Soooooo tired of the states. I will be living on social security disability of $1500 a month. I think about it every day and watching YouTube videos all day. Yours was great as well.

I re-uploaded the video. Can you please check if this fixes the audio issues for anyone who had a problem hearing what he said https://youtu.be/yN6HfyCHWV4

I can hear everything. Hey, Mariana!

I couldn't hear any audio on my phone. Had to hook up my ear buds, and I could hear but it wasn't 100% clear.
