7 Reasons Why Lake Chapala & Ajijic Are Not For Me

Get ready for a more critical view of the Lake Chapala and Ajijic area.
Seven reasons why I won't be moving to "Lakeside".  
It was nice to visit the Expat Village, but I don't want to live there.
Talking about everything from cobblestone to expenses, I'll show you my point of view about Lake Chapala and Ajijic area!
If you'd like to hear a more general positive view of the area please see my other video: "Living in Ajijic Lake Chapala".

This video was made by me, a U.S. citizen. Mexico has given me permission to spend time in their country and check it out.

This video is not, in any way, a dis to Mexico or Mexican people.

Just like I prefer a small town in Utah or Oregon over New York City, I have preferences about Mexican towns. These are just my opinions and impressions. You are entitled to your own.

I prefer to spend time with dogs instead of cats (I’m allergic to cats). I like sunny weather over constant clouds (too much gray makes me depressed). I love Mexican food more than Italian (I love the flavors and Italian tends to put unnecessary weight on me).  I am not bigoted towards cats, clouds or Italian food. I have preferences.  That’s what it is to be an individual human. You have your own preferences, that’s why you’re watching videos, to see what you might like and prefer.  

Please don’t judge me because of my allergies, potential for depression, or propensity for weight gain. Or my decision to not make Ajijic my home.  These things do not negate my love for, or the value and quality of, Mexico or Mexican people. My experience in Mexico is vastly positive, thus my obtaining residency and seeking a home here.

If you’d like to stir up trouble or create division between people you will be considered a troll. If you have an opinion or preferences you are welcome to share in the comments, or make your own video.

We are all different, and that’s the beauty in life. Maybe, if more people understood that, there would be less grumpy people.

My name is Mora and I'm traveling with my two dogs through Mexico seeking a new home.
