GUADALAJARA: the most affordable World Cup host city?

Could Guadalajara be the most affordable host city of the 2026 FIFA World Cup? 🇲🇽 In this video, we explore Guadalajara, Mexico — from the historic center and the mariachi traditions of Jalisco to the colorful streets of Tlaquepaque and the modern upscale neighborhoods of Providencia and Andares. Known as Mexico’s Silicon Valley, Guadalajara blends history, culture, food, football, and modern life in a way that completely surprised me.

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life! P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he's actually camera-shy. That's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉 --- NEW VIDEO ►►► https://goo.gl/rhM6Pw ---
