There are lots of things to do in Rocky Point such as going to the beach, visiting the markets, and trying different cuisines. Personally, I would not want to live there because it's generally not a safe place to be, especially at night. Also, drinking the water there is not recommended. Although it is a nice vacation spot, there are too many cons to living there. However, I would love to visit Mexico City or Cancun. ]]> 2022-12-20 21:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2426186775 Saffron Courson Week 1 saffroncourson https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2426193229 The only Spanish-speaking country that I have visited is Mexico. I have been twice; once to Cabo, and once to Cancun/Playa del Carmen. My favorite trip was Cabo because I was there visiting my friend. I feel like I got a more authentic experience rather than staying at a resort the whole time. I would not live in Cabo full time, but I would love to invest in a vacation house! A country that I would like to visit one day is Spain because I have heard it is beautiful.]]> 2022-12-20 22:17:13 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2426193229 Sydney Christensen Week 1 srchristensen https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427150052 I have visited two Spanish speaking countries. I have been to Costa Rica and Mexico. Both countries were extremely beautiful but Costa Rica was more exotic. My family has a friend that lives in Costa Rica so I truly got more of an experience where I got to see an insight of what it was like to live in their country. I personally do not know if I would want to be live in each country. I feel like I would have to go there more than once. I think that both have this pros and cons. Although I would love to visit Ecuador and Puerto Rico.]]> 2022-12-22 03:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427150052 Kaya Karotko Week 1 kayakarotko https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427229155 I have visited one Spanish speaking country. I vactioned in Mexico. Even though I would stay on a resort, I think Mexico has great food and even better weather! If I had to chose another Spanish speaking country to visit, I would pick Dominican Republic. Persoanlly, I would love to live there when I am old and retired. I love the beaches and the drinks! ]]> 2022-12-22 05:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427229155 Will Plummer_WK1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427491283 I have been to two different Spanish-speaking countries, Mexico being one of them and I have been to two different places in Mexico. While visiting Cabo San Lucas I discovered there was a multitude of activities to due. My favorite thing we did there was play on the different golf courses that were overlooking the ocean. The courses had several holes right on the beach. While there are many fun activities, food, and entertainment in Cabo, I personally would not want to live there full-time. Unless there was an opportunity for a great affordable timeshare, I would not want to live there. I really enjoy going to visit Mexico and hope to be able to again soon.]]> 2022-12-22 14:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427491283 Michael Brown Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427575250 I have been to a couple of spanish speaking countries, however I have not been to Costa Rica. Although I have not visited this country I would still love to live on the Pacific Ocean side of it as there is world class surfing year round. I also here that there is generally low crime and it is in the middle of a rainforest which I feel would be neat to live in by the ocean. One of the spanish speaking countries that I have visited that I would not like to live in is Mexico. Every time I visit Mexico i always end up getting super sick so I feel like it would probably not be the greatest if I lived there.]]> 2022-12-22 16:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427575250 Abi Denninghoff- Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427599513 I have only been to a Spanish speaking country (Mexico) one time when I was very young. My memories of the place are sparce but vivid. The water was warm, the food was vibrant, and the people were very kind. I remember feeling in awe of the communities that I saw gathering, being together. There are many Spanish speaking countries I would like to visit including Spain, Puerto Rico, and Argentina. I would love to spend extended time in these places to understand more what the culture is like. ]]> 2022-12-22 17:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427599513 Riley Cornelison wk uno https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427653375 I have been to quite a few Spanish-speaking countries and territories. Most of the ones that I have visited have been on a cruise ship so I have only had a limited time to explore them. My favorite out of the ones that I have stopped at is the Dominican Republic. The Dominican republic was a very beautiful island with amazing weather as well. I do not think that I would like to live in the Dominican Republic but it is definitely a great place to visit with its beautiful beaches. I hope I get to go to the Dominican Republic again and visit it’s crystal clear waters and get to discover more about its culture.]]> 2022-12-22 19:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427653375 Vincent Schammel Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427702778 I have been to multiple Spanish-speaking counties but the one that I love to visit the most is Belize. It is one of the most beautiful Spanish-speaking counties I have been to. My mom was born and raised there so we have a place we go to once a year. Going there so often has really helped me develop and understand the lifestyle and culture down there. I really like visiting the country but I personally wouldn't see myself living there, at least right now. A Spanish speaking country I would love to visit one day would probably be Spain or Uruguay. ]]> 2022-12-22 23:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427702778 Christopher Allen Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427723691 I have recently gained a desire to travel to and visit Mexico City, Mexico. I haven’t really cared to travel here until the past few months due to hearing about how cool of a city it is to travel to. Mexico City looks very green and since I have lived in the desert my whole life it would be a nice change of scenery. I have also heard the food is very good and I can’t wait to eat some carne asada street tacos when I eventually visit. The NFL recently played a game in Mexico City and the atmosphere looked incredible so I would definitely want to watch a soccer game too. I’m not sure if I would want to live in Mexico City since it is a very populated city and I would feel too far from home, but the idea of visiting there intrigues me very much.]]> 2022-12-23 00:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427723691 Chase Stanley Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427729922 I've had the opportunity to visit Cabo San Lucas on multiple occasions. I go with my family every summer and just recently went for Spring Break. There are many things to do there, but we typically focus on going to the beach and exploring all the beautiful areas/culture it has to offer. Personally, I would not consider moving too Cabo. I see Cabo as visiting part time and taking it all in, but just personally don't believe I would enjoy living there. I see it as a great spot to vacation and explore/learn the culture occasionally. I would love to visit the Dominican at some point in my life. ]]> 2022-12-23 00:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427729922 Austin Jenner Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427736634 The two Spanish speaking countries that I have visited are Mexico and the Republic of Costa Rica. The experiences were very different from each other, as Costa Rica had a more tropical and jungle environment in comparison to Mexico, but both trips were amazing. If I had to decide whether or not to live in either of the two countries, I would choose Costa Rica, because I liked the area surrounding it more than the area around Cabo. Other parts of Mexico are different, but Cabo has been built up more in recent years to accommodate the huge tourist population there. Costa Rica, while keeping the aspects needed to bring in visitors, still had beauty in its secluded feel. I could imagine myself escaping away there and living in the trees and walking through the jungle right to the beach. I would love to, at some point, visit Spain. One of my close friends has been living there for the past two years and loves the area.]]> 2022-12-23 00:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427736634 Clay Gorski Week 1 cgorski7 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427801479 I have been to Mexico once in my life and I thought it was very interesting. The language barrier was something that was frustrating so I am glad to be learning Spanish once again. Living in Mexico would be a great time because of the weather and people. However, I would need to practice my Spanish a lot more in order to communicate with others. Overall, I would live in Mexico but I would also enjoy visiting other South American countries.]]> 2022-12-23 03:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427801479 Luca Popa - Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427814249 I would like to visit the city of San Miguel de Allende in the central region of Mexico. I have heard that it has a rich cultural history and a vibrant arts scene, with beautiful colonial-style architecture and colorful streets. The weather is also supposed to be very pleasant, with warm days and cool nights.


I would definitely consider living in San Miguel de Allende because of its rich culture and beautiful surroundings. The city is known for its cultural events, such as music festivals and art exhibitions, which would be a great source of inspiration and enjoyment for me. Additionally, the people of San Miguel de Allende are known for their warm and welcoming nature, which would make for a very pleasant and supportive community to live in.


However, there are also some drawbacks to living in San Miguel de Allende. One potential issue is the cost of living, which is higher than in many other parts of Mexico due to the city's popularity with tourists and expats. Additionally, the city can get quite crowded during peak tourist seasons, which might be a bit overwhelming for some people.


Overall, while there are certainly some challenges to living in San Miguel de Allende, I would be willing to take them on for the chance to experience its rich culture, beautiful surroundings, and welcoming community.

I originally grew up in montana so I was not ever around Spanish speakers. I later moved to az in highcschool since then I still have only been to several parts of Mexico. I have been to Cabo, Cancun, and Puerto penasco. I really enjoyed all three places and fell in love with the culture and the scenery. Out of there three places I've been I would definitely live in Cancun. That place was buy favorite and I would not mind living there at all. The beaches are beautiful and the weather is always nice.]]> 2022-12-23 04:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427836851 Alec Schmitt Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427857495 A region of a Spanish-Speaking country I would like to visit is Sonora. My grandparents are from there, so it would be cool to meet distant family members and see the area. It also has a climate very similar to Tucson In addition, Sonora is on the coast of the gulf of California so it has a lot of beautiful beaches. However, I would probably not live there because it is a not a very safe place. The cartels and drug trade have a very strong presence there and kidnappings are frequent.]]> 2022-12-23 05:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427857495 Max Boden Week 1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427858553 I've been to two different Spanish speaking counties, Mexico and Costa Rica. I had an amazing time in both countries and hope to visit them many more times. I would live in both countries however, if I had to chose I would pick Costa Rica. The reason that I would live in Costa Rica is because while I was there I had some of the most astonishing experience of my life. From zip lining through the jungle to snorkeling with tropical fish. It truly felt like a tropical paradise full of magnificent views. ]]> 2022-12-23 05:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2427858553 Shea Mclmail week 1 sheamcilmail https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2431301082 In the past, I have visited Mexico. But to be honest, I don't think I would live there. Not to say it isn't gorgeous. I just would prefer to stay in Washington. But while I was in Mexico I stayed at a very pretty resort and tanned a lot. I also got to catch fresh ceviche out on the water with my father. ]]> 2023-01-01 21:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2431301082 Deborah Huie Week 1 dhuie1 https://padlet.com/edeemer2/k8lfgfn2nn5dfkyf/wish/2432739483 I have been to Baja Mexico several times.  Three separate times, I've ridden my bicycle from Tijuana down to Cabo San Lucas.  I loved riding my bike down the entire peninsula and especially loved staying in Muleg'e and swimming, snorkeling in Bahia' Concepti'on.  We rode over 1,000 miles in 2 weeks and the Mexican people were very friendly and the food was excellent.  It was fun celebrating in Cabo San Lucas when we reached the end of our journey.   We also went whale watching in Guerro Negro and got to see migrating grey whales!
