Laid back and enjoy the View

GT is maxing & relaxing!!
I don’t know why the tourism in Tulum is down right now bust first and last time I was there it was a road with armed guard checkpoints every few miles, armed guards on the beach, the Tulum downtown shop trying to sell a custom kitchen apron for 150USD, blocked off spots marked private or available for ridiculous prices a normal working person.
When a tourist location loses perspective on what it “too expensive” means for a regular tourist then it is time to spread the word to never come again
Happy Gabe makes me happy! Great video as always
The major reason there appears to be less sargassso is that the ingenious Mexicans have figured how to make mud bricks out of it and are making tons of pesos off it! So they gather it off the beaches on regular basis.
Hello Gabriel. Thank you for the Tulum ride. I guess you're now finding out what's up there, in the Tulum beach area. Very
🍺🍺
Try the Dos Equis Azul beer, made with agave nector that gives it a different unique flavor and a bluish color.
The food at the end of the video looked absolutely delicious!😋😋
Please try not to break your hip getting off a bicycle. Tulum is great btw.
Glad to see you just relaxing!!
I put your videos when I’m working, you have so much good vibes and relaxing views.
Loving the Narcos-esque music in these videos. 😁
Yucatan is a place to be 🙂 Looks very laid-back, almost reminds me of Greece !!?
I envy you!
It's about -12C with a windchill of about -244C up here in Montreal!!!
Apparently, it will get much colder this weekend here.
Ever had any life threatening run ins with crazies, criminals? Most Americans think the world is very unsafe.

Bro no i hate i love ur channel. But literally ALL you do is relax.. I mean you travel all around the world like it's free. Never worry about money. And with no real resposabilities or pressure from anything else.
Do you feel like the US has become a buzz kill when you’re back home? Living in the US, it’s hard to know if this toxicity is everywhere or just here.
Dude @14:20 is a YouTuber too… he's got some nice videos on the tube also… I think he's Mexican…
Seems like its all you really do..
09:30 You could have put a shirt on Gabe and shown a little decorum.
2:00 hahaha cute. If you like the coatis, you definitely need to visit Iguazu Falls on Brazil/Argentina border. There are so many coatis there.
🇨🇦❤👍🇲🇽
Never! The grind never stops. When i try to relax my mind thinks of more videos to make. Its a never ending cycle.
Gabe doing the F/C conversion math off the top of his head. He is the full package. Love you buddy!
@Gabriel I think you should do a cold country next mabye Abisko Park in Sweden or Tromso in Norway😊
Amazing place!!.❤
Every day on a bicycle can bring adventure thx mike the bike
Very nice safe travels keep in touch enjoy your weekend 👉👉👍👍👌
Morocco Middle East is like the Western country Australia
Wow great ride on a single speed bicycle 25klicks rain chicken burrito ,your a blessed man
Go to Calakmul or somewhere where 100 billion people haven’t gone. You travel India but then in Mexico go to the most touristy places? Come on. Risk a little
Medellin -> Nuqui -> Playa Guachalito
Late 1980s when I was around 20 one of my close friend was learning spanish in a Calcutta tutorial, he pronounced Mehico , I said u r wasting money and learning wrong , it is Mexico and he laughed , rightly so.
Fella, bring back transparent food pricing!
Renting a Mexican bicycle is an adventure in itself.imagine a bike from the 70s never serviced, seat rusted into the lowest position, so your knees are in your face while pedaling. so much play in the steering that your constantly moving the handle bars all while riding on not the best side walk with other people coming towards you with the same junk. It's the Tulum experience!
Looks like a wonderful day! A nice long, scenic bike ride, drinks at a luxury resort, and a delicious Mexican dinner to top it off. Perfect! 👍
Gabe you represent the 80s-90s gringo that used to loved Mexico 🇲🇽 before this World went mad including Mexico. Just a chill, good vibe gringo enjoying the simple things of life with no prejudice, whose well lived and experienced, I’ve met many of the old timers, Vietnam vets, surfers, outcasts and hippies that always have good memories of Mexico, the Mexico I grew up which is no longer😢
I just love your videos….you amaze everyone Gabriel! The places the people the rain the hotels…beaches wildlife…its all in the hard work you do…cant thank you enough! ❤ ✌️
High roller traveler!
It’s weird to see coati mundi in a more tropical setting. Here in Arizona they thrive in the desert
keep on living the dream, salud! 🍹
