      Curious, is it safe? How does she get groceries? Is she totally alone there? WOW!
      It looks like the infrastructure is bad and it needs to be cleaned up. I saw new cars, so there's money in Mexico!

      @@Chicago48 In the video she shows where she buys fruits and veggies and mentioned another place a few blocks away where she gets her meat. Yes, she lives there by herself, of course she has friends and in the winter she has housemates who live with her. Yes, it is safe there. I suggest you do some research on Mexico even if just to visit, this is how the majority of MX looks when it comes to infrastructure. If you don't like the way it looks then you should probably avoid the country.

I’m so thankful we visited Puerto Vallarta in 2018 because we fell in love with the people and their culture , the town itself especially Zona Romantica , the Bay of Banderas, the beautiful skies in the day and the sunsets in the evening. We also fell in love with the delicious food and drinks local to Puerto Vallarta. ❤

I would have stayed there if the problem with the wet walls could have been fixed. There are so many different price points, depending on location and neighborhood. Sharing is a good option, though, and makes living here more afordable.

      Most houses like this are unfurnished and around $16000 more or less in this area, I think, maybe even higher. I bought some furniture in department stores on sale just like I would in Canada, other through stores that display sample furniture where you choose what you want and have it shipped. Some is also second hand, and the table and two chairs not shown were bought unfishished and then painted. None of my furniture is "fine" furniture, but it does for me.

      Thanks for watching and commenting. We will be doing another follow-up video answering even more questions with Barbro. She is an absolute fountain of knowledge about how to navigate a life here in Puerto Vallarta. I see that she has given some insight in her comment below. Have a great day!

    • @RetiredLifeMexico
      @RetiredLifeMexico  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for responding, Barbro. You are the best! I just want to remind some of our viewers that $16000 is in pesos, so right now that is about $780 Usd or $1,121 Cdn
      Buen día :)

    Very nice place, and certainly inexpensive! It's great to have an area that's walkable - good for those of us who are single, and need to get out and meet people, and convene with nature (no crocodiles though)😂❤!

    This was so very helpful and encouraging. You are both delightful! May I ask if Barbro speaks spanish? Is knowing the language well essential for getting a great deal on a rental like hers?

    • @RetiredLifeMexico
      @RetiredLifeMexico  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks for watching, Jack. Yes, Barbro speaks Spanish well. Here in Puerto Vallarta the best way to find a rental is to walk the neighborhood that you want to live in and look for rental signs. Knowing how to speak Spanish does definitely help when it comes to talking with landlords...but it is not essential. Some people bring a Spanish speaking friend with them when looking at properties. Are you looking around for a rental here?

    I think many people these days are citizens of the world. All my neighbors come from overseas and with flights these days everything is so fast to get to your home country so WHY NOT? My biggest tip is to always have a smile on your face and be polite about the country U R living in or touring. I once bumped into a different group of travellers from my country in and they whined and whined.......I thought the country was fabulous and I got treated well by the locals because I appeciated their country. Just don't travel from U.S. or Canada to another country and then whine about their customs. It's better to travel in your own country in that case. E.G. Chinese smoke a lot any it is cheap there. I have seen locals from my country telling Chinese to put their cigarettes out. Their country = their rules and customs.

      There are laws here that prohibit smoking indoors...though not in some establishments from what I understand. We have been fortunate that most smokers are not renting in our areas. That being said, I would say there are several "Smoke-free options". You just have to look before you commit to renting a place. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day!
