Lake Chapala Mexico is one of the most popular areas to live and retire for expats from the United States and Canada. And Ajijic Mexico is by far the most popular town for expats in the Lake Chapala area.

The weather is about as close to paradise as you can get, and there are lots of activities to keep you busy. It's also about 30 minutes from the Guadalajara International Airport so you can easily fly back home or anywhere else in the world.

You'll find a variety of rental homes to fit most budgets and requirements. In this video, Inesa from Chapala Realtors was kind enough to show us 2 rental properties in Ajijic Mexico and one rental condo in San Juan Cosalá Mexico, which is located about 15 minutes west of Ajijic.

Inesa is primarily a real estate agent so she specializes in home buying and selling, but she can help you find a rental, too!

ECUADOR VISA UPDATES: Tourist, Digital Nomad, Pensioner, Investor & Professional

Amelia And JP 2022-11-20 | Ecuador overhauled its visa laws earlier this year, but the regulations and interpretations have taken longer to filter down to the ministries.

We interviewed Maite Duran from Gringo Visas last week about what her team is seeing when they present visa applications to the ministry. That in-depth interview will be available over on @Live Abroad Now in the next week or two, but we wanted to share the highlights in this week's live stream.

We're happy to send an email introduction to you and Maite:

Learning a foreign language as an adult can be painful and frustrating. It may be the LAST thing you want to do in your Golden Years of retirement, especially with all the other stressors from moving abroad.

Luckily, there are several popular places for expats where English is either the primary language or it's widely spoken by the locals.

EXPATS TOLD US THEY LOVE THIS PLACE! (Its easy to see why...)

Amelia And JP 2022-11-15 | Grab our FREE expat newsletter and get immediate access to all our past editions, the Ecuador cost of living & moving calculator, and a 20% discount on the Ecuador Expat eCourse. Opt-in here: liveabroadnow.com/newsletter

The northshore of Lake Chapala has been popular with wealthy Mexicans from Guadalajara and expats from the United States for a long time, especially Ajijic.

As a result, the housing and restaurant costs in Ajijic have gone up significantly over the past few years so you may be looking for a more affordable place to live, but with similar amenities.

Thankfully, you don't need to go far! The city of Chapala is located about 15 minutes east of Ajijic by car. It has a nice, new malecon with lots of restaurants and housing options, a Soriana Hiper (supermarket), a mercado, a bus station with transportation to the airport and Guadalajara, and more.

Plus, it's far more affordable than Ajijic!

You may also want to check out Tlayacapan, San Juan Cosalá and Jocotepec, which are also located on the northwest shore of Lake Chapala.

MEXICO & ECUADOR: SIMILAR but DIFFERENT! (Live Stream + Viewer Q&A)

Amelia And JP 2022-11-06 | Join Us on Patreon for as little as $5 and you'll get direct access to Amelia and me, plus a bunch of additional perks. And your support helps us continue publishing videos and answering questions about moving abroad. Watch a short video about all benefits here: patreon.com/ameliaandjp

In this week's Live Stream Q&A, we shared our first thoughts about expat life in Mexico, and how it compares to expat life in Ecuador. There are several similarities, but also several key differences.

After filming over 300 videos during the last 4 years of living in Ecuador, we've covered most of the areas where expats choose to live and we have a very deep understanding of what it's like to live here.

We've been to Mexico more than a dozen times over the past 20 years, but never to film expat videos for a YouTube channel. That changed on our latest visit when we filmed 6 videos in the areas of Guadalajara and Lake Chapala.

This is our first time filming another popular expat destination and we already have several other trips booked or planned. Our goal is to become a truly international expat channel so we can provide more accurate and comprehensive comparisons because we understand that Ecuador isn't for everyone.

Our current plan is to make Ecuador our homebase and apply for citizenship next year when we're eligible. However, we plan to travel and live in other popular expat countries for 3 to 6 months each year.

Life is short. It's not guaranteed. And the world is waiting for us to explore it! Here we go!

THIS EXPAT HOTSPOT was NOT what we EXPECTED!

Amelia And JP 2022-11-03 | Use this link to save 55% on the annual plan for LingoPie: learn.lingopie.com/ameliaandjp

After a few days in what we think will be Mexico's NEXT expat hotspot, we ventured out of the city to visit what may be Mexico's most popular place for expats from the United States and Canada: Ajijic Mexico.

We were shocked by the number of expats in this area! While it was a beautiful place with lots of amenities that will appeal to retirees, it wasn't at all what we expected.

Coolest Neighborhood in Mexico (and the WORLD)!

UNEXPECTED REASONS *SOME* ECUADORIANS ARE LEAVING (Oct 2022 Members Choice)

We're often asked, if Ecuador is as great as we say, why do Ecuadorians leave? The short answer is, people are the same everywhere and they leave home for the same reasons.

In this video, we cover the top 10 reasons Ecuadorians leave Ecuador, and many of them are the same reasons why some Ecuadorians are moving back home to Ecuador.

Roughly 1/4 of the Ecuadorian population lives below the poverty line and their children need your help. Even a small contribution will help feed, cloth and educate kids who deserve a better life. Join us by making a monthly donation to UNICEF Ecuador: https://unicef.org.ec/

This is the start of a new era for our channel! And we're very excited about it!

Ecuador will continue to be our home base and we still plan to apply for citizenship next year when we're eligible, but we're taking our brand of expat edutainment on the road for future videos.

We already have several trips planned to other countries! This will allow us to gather more boots-on-the-ground information and do better comparisons between the various popular expat destinations.

In this video, we visited the neighborhood of Colonia Americana in Guadalajara, Mexico. It was recently named the "Coolest Neighborhood in the World" by TimeOut: timeout.com/travel/coolest-neighbourhoods-in-the-world

We're not sure it's the "coolest" neighborhood, but it was really cool. It has lots of restaurants and nice housing options. There are several universities in the area so it has a young, energetic vibe.

We really enjoyed our time in Col Americana and plan to visit again!

RETIRE EARLY, but DONT LET IT BE A DEATH SENTENCE! (Plus, 5 BEST Places to Retire Abroad)

Amelia And JP 2022-10-20 | Skip the waitlist and invest in blue-chip art for the very first time by signing up for Masterworks: https://masterworks.art/ameliaandjp

Purchase shares in great masterpieces from artists like Pablo Picasso, Banksy, Andy Warhol, and more. See important Masterworks disclosures: http://masterworks.io/cd

It seems like there is a battle raging between retiring early, delaying retirement and going back to work, but there doesn't need to be.

With the right attitude, financial discipline and a sense of adventure, you can retire early and live a freedom lifestyle like we do.

In this video, we discuss the new definition of retirement that's more realistic, attainable and fulfilling than the traditional definition of retirement that often leads to an early death.

We also share 3 key financial tips that have been helping us reach our FIRE goals. These tips allowed us to pay off all our debt in 3 years and start saving a large percentage of our income.

Finally, we'll discuss the 5 best countries to retire based on the World Population Review Index: worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/best-countries-to-retire

Here's a good starting point and overview of the FIRE Financial Movement:

Every year, InterNations.org conducts a survey to see what current expats think about their home away from home. The results are tabulated and ranked to determine the Best Countries for Expats, according to expats.

Most of the countries that made the top 10 expat country list for 2022 shouldn't be surprising, especially the number 1 country for expats, but a few might be considered controversial.

No countries from Central or South America made the list this year, which is very surprising. Let us know in the comments if you think a country is missing or one doesn't belong.

IS RETIREMENT in the USA a PIPE DREAM? (Live Video Broadcast + Viewer Q&A)

Amelia And JP 2022-10-02 | Join the Unconventional Community of current and future expats so we can get to know you!

After reading a couple of articles about cost of living and the amount of money you need for retirement (linked below), we started freaking out a little! We're nowhere near where we need to be financially to ever think about retirement!

Thankfully, we live in a low cost of living country where it's possible to save a significant portion of our income. Moving abroad may become necessary for more and more people as the cost of living in the US and other countries continues to increase.

COUNTRIES THAT ARE REALLY COOL & REALLY CHEAP!

Amelia And JP 2022-09-29 | Planning a move to Ecuador? Take the Expat Fast Track and avoid the mistakes we made! Read the Reviews & Sign up Here: liveabroadnow.com/course

Unless something drastic happens politically or economically, Ecuador is our permanent home. We plan to spend at least 6 months per year in Ecuador for the rest of our lives. It's our Plan A and we hope to get our citizenship next year.

However, we also want to diversify our residency so we have a Plan B in case something really bad happens and we need to leave Ecuador (returning to the USA is Plan Z).

That's why we've been researching other countries and sharing that research with you. There are A LOT of fantastic places to live that offer a higher quality of life for a lower cost of living than the USA!

In this video, we share 10 cheap countries where a couple can live a high quality lifestyle on less than $2,000 per month. You would need $6K to $10K to live like this in the United States!

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED to the USA! (REVERSE CULTURE SHOCK)

Amelia And JP 2022-09-22 | Join Us on Patreon Today and get 2 months FREE on the annual plan! We talk about all the benefits of membership in a short video here: patreon.com/ameliaandjp

In August 2022, we took an emergency trip to the United States to help Amelia's family. After spending a month in Texas and several days in Kansas, we now understand what reverse culture shock means.

We left the United States 5 years ago to start a new life abroad in Ecuador. The last time we went back to the USA was over 3 years ago before the pandemic

Lots of things have changed since the pandemic, but even the things that stayed the same seem very weird to us now.

In this video, we'll talk about the 22 things that were very shocking to us as Americans after being gone for so long.

IN ECUADOR, THIS MAKES NO SENSE! (Loja Ecuador Pucará)

Amelia And JP 2022-09-01 | If you enjoy our videos, hit subscribe and leave us a like! That tells YouTube we’re doing a good job! Muchas gracias! 🥳

It was a cloudy morning when we woke up, but after enjoying some delicious Loja coffee, we ventured out for a morning walk.

The day before, we stumbled upon Parque Pucará not too far from our AirBnB in El Centro. It looked like a cool park so we wanted to go back and film some clips for our Loja Pros & Cons video.

We were having so much fun that we decided to record an entire video. And we're glad we did because we found something totally unexpected!

WE DONT MISS THIS GIANT EXPENSE, AT ALL!

Amelia And JP 2022-08-25 | Join the Inner Circle and get 2 months FREE on the annual plan! See ALL the member benefits here: patreon.com/ameliaandjp

We SLASHED more than $1200 from our monthly budget by moving abroad and ditching our cars.

Unfortunately, the United States is built around cars and individual transportation. It's next to impossible to get around without your own vehicle.

However, in most other countries, cities are designed to be walkable and bikeable, while public transportation is very efficient, affordable and widespread.

We've lived in Ecuador for 5 years and still don't own a car. We don't miss it and don't plan to buy one.

We walk most places, which helped us lose weight after we left the US, and it continues to help us stay in better shape.

After just 3 weeks in the US, we've both gained 5 pounds from not walking and eating out more because we spend too much time in the car and don't have time to cook.

In Ecuador, when we can't walk, we use public transportation, call a cab or hire a private driver.

We just don't need a car in Ecuador, and the personal and financial benefits are tremendous!

If you would an introduction to our private drivers, tell us more here (it's a free service): liveabroadnow.com/referrals/ecuador-private-driver-referral

ECUADORS MOST FAMOUS EXPAT TOWN! (Vilcabamba Ecuador Pros & Cons)

Amelia And JP 2022-08-18 | Join Our Community of Unconventionals today and get 2 months FREE on the annual plan! See all the benefits of joining the inner circle here: patreon.com/ameliaandjp

Vilcabamba Ecuador has been popular with expats for a long time. It's a quaint mountain town that sits in a valley surrounded by beautiful panoramic views.

It was originally considered for inclusion in the list of Blue Zones, which are areas around the world where people live exceptionally long.

However, it didn't make the final cut because the birth records for the oldest people couldn't be verified. Learn more about the Blue Zones here: bluezones.com/books

Its omission from the final list didn't stop the belief that Vilca is a valley of longevity, which is one reason expats have flocked there over the past 15 years.

We've travelled to the most popular expat areas all over Ecuador, but Vilcabamba has by far the largest concentration of expats that we've seen.

If you want to live in a beautiful small mountain town with nice weather and lots of expats, Vilca might be the place for you. If you prefer fewer expats, but want a similar living experience, you might prefer Malacatos, Landangui, Yangana or one of the other small towns near Vilca.

ECUADORS *NEXT* EXPAT HOTSPOT! (Loja Ecuador Pros & Cons Video)

Amelia And JP 2022-08-11 | Stay informed! Sign Up for our FREE weekly newsletter here: liveabroadnow.com/newsletter

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Loja Ecuador. We stayed in an AirBnB and lived like a local so we could get a really good feel for the city.

In this video, we share the Pros & Cons of Loja from an expat perspective. If you're considering a move there, this review will help you decide if it's the right place for you.

We still think Cuenca is a better choice if you've never lived abroad before, but if you want a smaller city, a more local vibe, and you speak some Spanish, Loja may be perfect for you!

THERE IS A WAY OUT OF DEBT!

Amelia And JP 2022-08-04 | Planning a move to Ecuador? Take the Expat Fast Track! Read Reviews & Signup Here: liveabroadnow.com/course

We had two incomes, a nice house in a great neighborhood, and two nice cars. We were living the dream, but then everything changed when JP started losing the ability to walk.

Two major spinal surgeries later and our income was down, but our debt was growing. Rather than take out a second mortgage, we decided to sell everything we own and move abroad to enjoy a higher quality life for a lower cost of living.

You may not realize it, but this is also an option for you! If you're drowning in debt or haven't been able to save enough for retirement, moving abroad may be the solution to your financial struggles.

It doesn't have to be forever, either. You can move to a lower cost country for a few years and then move back home. Although, we think you'll enjoy your new life so much that you won't want to!

After nearly 5 years in Ecuador, we FINALLY visited Loja! You have been asking us to film there for years, and now the wait is over!

We spent a full week in Loja and logged nearly 20 walking miles, so we got a pretty good feel for the city and what it has to offer. We were surprised by a lot of what we saw. Overall, it was not what we expected.

We're going to share more videos from Loja and another popular expat town in the area, so be sure to hit the SUBSCRIBE button if you haven't already.

They say records are meant to be broken, but I don't think "they" were talking about temperatures.

The United States is experiencing the worst heatwave on record, as is much of Europe. Records are being broken daily in many countries around the world, but there are a few places where it's still nice and cool, even when they break records.

In this video, you'll learn about 10 countries that have more stable weather, and cooler overall temps throughout the year than the US and southern Europe. Several have 4 seasons, but others have mostly the same cool temperatures year round.

You can get a 90 day tourist visa to wait out the hot summer in all 10, and you can apply for residency in several so you can stay longer if you wish.

You don't have to suffer through the heat. You can escape to better places!

ESCAPE THE USA HEALTHCARE SCAM! (like we did)

Amelia And JP 2022-07-14 | Planning your escape? Join our community of Unconventionals on Patreon! patreon.com/ameliaandjp

Despite having the MOST EXPENSIVE healthcare system in the world, the quality of healthcare in the United States is just AVERAGE compared to most other countries.

In fact, the main reason we HAD TO LEAVE the United States and can never move back is because we can't afford health insurance or healthcare.

Following two major spinal surgeries, my health insurance tripled and we could no longer afford it. If I ever need another surgery, we would have gone bankrupt if we had stayed in the USA.

Now we live in Ecuador, which has a higher rated healthcare system than the United States, for a fraction of the cost. But Ecuador isn't the only place to escape the healthcare scam that bankrupts more than 500,000 Americans every year!

In this video, we feature 10 countries with better healthcare that costs 3 to 10 times LESS than the United States. You can visit as a medical tourist or you can move to these countries and become an official expat.

LOCAL MINDO GUIDES SHOWED US SOMETHING UNFORGETTABLE! (Mindo Ecuador)

Amelia And JP 2022-07-07 | This is Part 2 of our visit to the Cloud Forest of Mindo Ecuador, and it was even more AMAZING than the first!

In our last video (youtu.be/-ZBVqg-p9rc) we showed you a FLOCK of hummingbirds, but in this video, you'll see birds at the opposite end of the size spectrum, but just as colorful!

Plus, we'll take you along on a hike through the jungle that looked like it was straight out of Romancing the Stone!

We're happy to introduce you to Anderson and Rolando, who took us to Las Cotingas Reserve in this video. They offer an amazing bird watching tour in Mindo, Ecuador that's accessible to all ages.

Plus, Rolando also operates San Tadeo Birding, which is where we filmed the hummingbirds in our first video from Mindo: youtu.be/-ZBVqg-p9rc

THE GREAT RENTAL REAMING! (Its time to LEAVE the USA!)

Amelia And JP 2022-06-16 | Want more guidance and support? Join Us on Patreon! liveabroadnow.com/join-us

Rental costs in the United States are completely out of control! Most Americans can no longer afford the cost of housing, healthcare and food without making significant sacrifices in other areas of their lives! What a horrible way to live!

But we're here to tell you that there is a better way. You just have to leave the United States to find it. There are dozens of countries around the world that welcome Americans, and they have better places to rent for less money. They also have better, more affordable healthcare and a lower overall cost of living.

In this video, we showcase 7 rental properties for under $1,000/month in Europe, Asia and Latin America. One is even under $500/month!

HAPPIEST PLACE IN ECUADOR! (Mindo Ecuador Hummingbirds)

Amelia And JP 2022-06-09 | This cloud forest has been on Amelia's bucket list since we moved to Ecuador nearly 5 years ago, and we finally made it!

It's located just 2 hours west of Quito, and it's a truly magical place. It's very popular with foreign and Ecuadorian tourists, so the town is very tourist oriented.

The Mindo Cloud Forest is mostly known for the wide variety of butterflies and birds, including hummingbirds, toucans, tanigers and many more. It's a bird watchers paradise!

But it's also popular with outdoor adventurers who enjoy hiking, riding ATVs, river rafting, mountain biking, etc. If you're an outdoors person, you'll love Mindo Ecuador!

Are we staying in Ecuador? Live Q&A w/ Amelia And JP

Amelia And JP 2022-06-04 | Following our "Escape Inflation" video (youtu.be/-zu3_v8N84c), our announcement that we plan to visit other countries, and in response to the less-than-positive news about crime in Ecuador, we've been getting a lot of questions about whether or not we plan to stay here. In our Live Stream Q&A on Saturday, June 4, 2022 we answered that question and a lot of others.

TAKE THIS INFLATION AND SHOVE IT!

Amelia And JP 2022-05-28 | Take the Ecuador Expat Fast Track eCourse and streamline your move to Ecuador! See what our students have to say here: liveabroadnow.com/ecuador-expat-fast-track-ecourse

If you’re on a tight budget and feeling the pressure of inflation compounding an already high cost of living, you have an escape hatch at your disposal if you’re willing to do something a little unconventional.

There are several places outside the continental United States that have BOTH a lower inflation rate AND a lower cost of living. They also offer extended tourist visas and residency visas to Americans.

That means you can live a higher quality of life while spending less money, you just have to move somewhere else for awhile (or forever, like we did).

As of May 2022, when we recorded this video, here is the list of countries (and one US Territory) that are below the current inflation rate of 8.5% in the United States: Portugal, Italy, Puerto Rico, France, Thailand, Belize, Panama, Ecuador, Malaysia and Bolivia.

If we missed any that have BOTH a lower inflation rate AND a lower cost of living, plus visas that work for Americans, please share them in the comments below.

CUENCA ECUADOR: FOOD YOU CAN AFFORD TO EAT!

Amelia And JP 2022-05-12 | Take the Ecuador Expat Fast Track eCourse and streamline your move to Ecuador! See what our students have to say here: liveabroadnow.com/ecuador-expat-fast-track-ecourse

Note: We sold out of the discount mentioned in the video.

This video shows a typical travel day for us. We usually eat breakfast and dinner at our Airbnb, and we eat lunch out at a restaurant. You can find traditional Ecuadorian almuerzos for $1.50 to $4.

When we're at home, we only eat out once or twice per week (sometimes not at all) so our average food bill runs about $7 to $9 per day per person.

If you eat meat, that will increase your food bill because it's not subsidized by the government so it's more expensive here than countries like the US.

We buy most of our produce at the mercado, which saves us a lot of money. Groceries at Supermaxi and other major grocery stores are more expensive so we try to only buy packaged items there.

YOU WONT FIND THESE IN THE USA! (Ilaló Ecuador)

Amelia And JP 2022-03-29 | One reason we love exploring Ecuador is because we never know what to expect and we're always surprised by what we find!

In this video, we share several things that make the area and communities around the base of the Ilaló Volcano near Quito Ecuador so unique and unusual.

Ilalo is located about 20 minutes from the center of Quito and 10 minutes from Tumbaco Ecuador. The Quito International Airport is about 30 minutes away.

QUITO ECUADOR TOUR w/ a NATIVE!

Amelia And JP 2022-03-03 | We had one day to spend in Quito Ecuador and it was memorable! We asked Xavier to show us a couple places the tourists don't go, and we wanted to get some aerial shots with Mini before the weather derailed our plans. The elevation and high winds led to a drone-tastrophy! And Amelia's herbal beatdown led to a very unexpected and shocking end to our day!
