3. Using your credit card in Mexico;
4. Scams at restaurants in Mexico;
5. Rental scams in Mexico (including Airbnb scams);

ABOUT US (MADDIE & JORDAN)
In January 2018, we sold everything we owned in the US (except our husky Laska & what fit in our tiny, tangerine Prius C3) to travel the world—starting with Mexico. Since then, we’ve been making travel videos about our life in Mexico and the new experiences we encounter while traveling the world.
