There’s a Mexican neighborhood in the state of Chiapas where police and interference by outsiders are strictly forbidden. They handle all disputes (and even things like fixing their roads) on their own without the city’s help. I know some people who live in this unique little neighborhood in San Cristobal, Chiapas and they love it…
Even though my son doesn’t speak hardly any Spanish… he’s tired of homeschooling and in the mood to go back to school again! So in this video, I go over what I learned while touring four private schools in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico! So let’s talk about the costs, admission, and validating…
Just a little behind-the-scenes into a working day here in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. Helping a friend with her Airbnb, researching YouTube video ideas, and just observing the crazy world around me. My Day in the life…
So many differences between living in the US and living here in Mexico! Today I’m going to highlight three (with a bonus!) major differences between the homes!

There are three, very different cities in Chiapas which I think could be ideal as a retirement or slow travel location. Today, we’re taking a look at Comitán de Domínguez, Comitán for short, which is about two hours away from San Cristobal de las Casas, my current home.

After being here for eight months, here…
Many people no longer have the income to qualify for residency in Mexico… true! But does that mean our Mexico dreams are dead?!? Reacting to Tangerine Travels’ video “MEXICO SHOT ITSELF IN THE FOOT. Expats will go to THESE 6 COUNTRIES instead.” While I think Jordan makes several good points, ultimately it’s too early to…
These are the things we don’t particularly care for here in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico… and I wasn’t really prepared for all of this.
Here we go again! Those of us who live or have extensively visited Merida will tell you that there’s a strong LOVE for this amazing region! But with that love will always come at least a few things that we DON’T love! So let’s talk about our love/hate relationship with Merida! A big Thank You…
Is Merida really the safest city in Mexico? And what does that actually mean? Do crimes happen in Merida? My goal isn’t to alarm anyone… but it IS to keep things real. Staying aware and vigilant is always a smart thing… no matter how “safe” a city is considered! Also, safety means so many different…
