ABOUT US: We're Andy and Trai, a gay couple living in Mexico with our rescue jackhuahua, Pattie. After meeting in San Francisco and later moving to Chicago, we decided to quit our jobs in 2021, sell everything, and become two gay expats. Since then, we've been traveling the world and documenting our adventures on YouTube and our travel blog. Our current home base is Tulum, Mexico—it's where we got married and decided to build a house. Subscribe for the next chapter in our story and our experience moving to Mexico. We hope our adventures inspire your travels and show you what places are really like if you are thinking about living, working, or retiring abroad.

My husband and I are thinking about the possibility of retiring to Mexico, but we have no idea where to begin. It all seems so overwhelming.

Great info on residency and health care! Subscribing now. Hope you guys didn’t have to burn through too many takes to get this delivered perfectly. I struggle with delivery when doing 2 minute clips when doing video game tutorials. 😄

I found a documentary here on youtube explaining that the american dream died in the early 90's.
Love your channel, if you come back to Bogota I'd love to show you around our huge gay scene. The biggest in the Americas!

Playa Zipolite sounds very interesting!

[ducheau]

It is beautiful but you really have to be careful there, much more so than the US. It is probably okay to move there as a couple, but as a single person I would not.

[RexPonder-yb]

Boy has it gotten expensive now more than the United States and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico
