How Living In Guadalajara Mexico Transformed Shakira's World!

Shakira moved to Guadalajara, Mexico with hopes of a better quality of life. But she didn't expect she would love it this much. In fact, she said "I wish I would have made this decision a lot sooner"

Her lifestyle has drastically changed, and she now enjoys walking more, eating fresh food regularly, meeting locals, and exploring her new hometown, Guadalajara.

It's a foodie's paradise, a great place to raise a family, and one of the best places to live in Mexico.

At first I really didn't understand why my sister Shakira decided to move to Mexico but watching this and seeing how much happier and healthier she is makes me understand why. I love you and miss you sis ❤❤

Thank you for this experience and allowing me to share my story.

I'm visiting Guadalajara next month for the first time. Also visiting Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta (I have visited both before) but will be my first time visiting Guadalajara. I live in NYC and I'm also considering moving to Mexico too (not yet but in about a year and a half to two years). My family is from Dominican Republic so I speak fluent Spanish. I love all the parts of Mexico (which are several) I have visited

I'm glad you love living there! Your video has inspired me even further to make me wanna move to 🇲🇽

I'm from Michoacan living in California. I love the quality of life that Guadalajara brought to family that moved there and they say nothing but good things. Love to visit and loved to have heard it from you Shakira.

Shakira is wonderful, and how stunning that her doctor gave her a choice between typical medicine or holistic treatment! She has a wonderful attitude and wants to assimilate, she's got it made! Happy to hear that her health has improved and that she is learning to relax. Great video!

Guadalajara will always have a place in my heart. It was the first place I really visited in Mexico. All the best.

Putting in the work to find your community and finding where you are most comfortable can pay huge dividends in happiness, contentment and peace of mind as this person's experience clearly demonstrates. This is an example of what moving to Mexico can really be like!

This is a very nice video. It is very encouraging because my husband and I are preparing to move to Chapala when our house sells. This video confirms why we chose Mexico……gracias

[JustLewey]

Congratulations on your move to Mexico. You appear so happy and relaxed. As retirees, we hope to join you in the not too distant future.

[teresaescogido]

You're extremely nice and genuinely a friendly person.
Hope you enjoy the country.
😊
Bienvenida a México!!

I moved to Puerto Vallarta in March 2023 and I wish I had done it sooner. What Shakira said really resonated with me, I feel so much at peace here. You need to step out of your comfort zone, get to know the locals and practice your Spanish. Best decision I ever made!

Welcome Shakira, now that you are in Mexico we welcome you with open arms and we are happy that you made this country your home. Mi casa es tu casa.

[carolconcha]

The best Mexican city!! See you in 3 years!!

American here: This is how moving to another country should be handled. No open boarders without requirements. Being Native American I am ashamed of the state of our country. I have a single female friend who also moved to Mexico (La Paz) and would never move back to the USA. She speaks very little Spanish and has no issues at all. Thanks Shakira for sharing your experience. Wishing you all the best from DFW.

[SusanBradley-LilyVee]

Wonderful! What a lovely person! Really happy for them that their life is so happy! And I want to know more about Guadalajara now!

[kimberlystritt]

She is nothing less than a full on ray of sunshine 😎 and a wonderful representative of a US export/ expat.
Wishing you nothing but the best.
Viva la 🇲🇽

[DavidSinghiser]

Me encantaría vivir en México. Es mi país favorito en el mundo.

[cindyvermillion]

I think that your friendly personality and optimistic attitude is a factor that has greatly helped you.

LOVE this story! Right behind you. My first car rental was in Guadalajara, and I drove to PV. Oh, that was fun!

[Calipeixegato]

This is a great video! I love hearing how healing it is for Black Americans to settle into various places outside of the US.

Guadalajara is one of the cities. we are considering for relocation. How did Shakira get a local guarantor? Did she already know someone who live in Guadalajara who could co-sign for her? That is one issue we see that will be difficult for us to address. We won't know anyone in Guadalajara, let alone a Mexican national who owns property there. Is there a common solution to this that other people who immigrate to Mexico use for this?
