Today we are going to explore the city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. This city holds a special place in my heart. It just so happens that my beautiful wife was born and raised in Monterrey. It also happens to be where my in-laws live, so you can imagine we visit often.
Monterrey is the capital and largest city of the norteastern state of Nuevo Leon. Monterrey also happens to be the second largest city in Mexico in area and in population according to the 2020 census. It is also conveniently located just 2 ½ hours South of the Texas Mexico Border.

Back home to Mexico! How it feels like to be back in the United States. Mexico vs US comparison.
Today I am going to get up close and personal. I am going to do something different and have some fun. I’m going to do a comparison video of Santa Fe, New Mexico vs San Miguel de Allende.
I began to realize why I was so drawn to San Miguel de Allende. Actually, there are a lot of similarities between both places. I even read somewhere in a travel magazine that San Miguel de Allende is considered the Santa Fe of Mexico. Actually, these places are so similar that really the biggest difference is that one is located in Mexico and the other is located in the United States.
While I was reflecting, I thought what better of an idea to compare the two. In reality, I will not be comparing the two, I guess I will be comparing my personal feeling about life in the United States vs my Life in Mexico. What a better way to compare than starting both off on a level playing field. Comparing two similar places in two different countries.
Controversy over my Highway of death video! My response to the big question of, Is Mexico Dangerous?
Today, I am going to continue to take on a very controversial topic. I recently did a video about whether Mexico was dangerous. I also discussed the current violence in Tamaulipas and a stretch of Highway between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey commonly traveled by Expats now being called the highway of death. Then I went on to address whether it was safe to travel in Mexico. I then offered some commonsense travel tips on traveling in Mexico. Boy did that cause a big stir in the Facebook Community! I even got banned from a Facebook Group due to the controversy it caused! Want to know most ironic thing about this ban? The Facebook Group is called On the Road in Mexico.
What I am going to do is address some of the feedback I received and once again dispel some of the misconceptions people have.
