He Actually Did It… We Didn’t Expect This Move

*He actually did it… he’s moving to Mexico* *Retiring early, leaving the U.S., and starting over at 62 — but WHY?* In this sit-down interview, we talk with Jeff from Papaw Got a GoPro, a longtime subscriber turned YouTube creator, who just made a life-changing decision: selling everything and relocating from Arkansas to San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Jeff and his wife Sheri built a successful YouTube channel reviewing resorts across Mexico, but the extreme heat, humidity, and lifestyle in the U.S. pushed them to take the leap into full-time life in Mexico. 🚨 *BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:* Jeff is launching a brand new channel — *Papaw Moved to Mexico* — where he’ll document his journey as a culturally aware immigrant adapting to life in Mexico, not trying to change it. Expect a unique weekly format featuring: ✔️ Life in Mexico vs USA comparisons ✔️ Weather comparisons (Mexico vs U.S. cities) ✔️ Food, restaurants, and daily living ✔️ Health updates with a cleaner lifestyle ✔️ “Gringo in the Cocina” cooking segments ✔️ Real challenges, mistakes, and adjustments If you’re considering moving to Mexico, retiring abroad, or becoming an expat or immigrant in Mexico, this video gives real insight into what that transition looks like. We’re doing it.
