Center of AMERICA
Rugby is a city in Pierce County, North Dakota, in the United States. It is the county seat of Pierce County. The population was 2,876 at the 2010 census.[6] Rugby was founded in 1886.
Rugby is often billed as being the geographic center of North America.
Rugby was founded in 1886 at a junction on the Great Northern Railway, where a branch line to Bottineau met the main line. The railroad promoters initially platted the town as Rugby Junction, getting the name Rugby from the town of Rugby in Warwickshire, England.[7] It was one of several sites along the Great Northern's transcontinental route between Devils Lake and Minot that were named after places in England (the others were Berwick, Leeds, Knox, Norwich, Penn, Surrey, Churches Ferry, Tunbridge, and York). When the community became a city, the Junction was dropped from the name.
North Dakota's first permanent European settlers arrived in 1812 from the Earl of Selkirk's colony in neighboring Manitoba, Canada. As farmers, they were more advanced than many of their contemporaries in the rest of the United States, having adopted sophisticated farming methods and machinery.[citation needed] Many of these implements, including an early McCormick Deering threshing machine, have found their way to the restored Pioneer Village in Rugby.
In 1931, the town of Rugby erected a 15 feet (4.6 m) tall rock obelisk marking the Geographical Center of North America. This was moved to a slightly different location in or after 1971.[citation needed] According to a listing by the U.S. Geological Survey, Rugby is actually approximately 15 miles (24 km) from the geographic center of North America [6 miles (9.7 km)] west of Balta), and even this designation carries no official status
Moving to Mexico | Move to Mexico - Ideas from an American expat 2015
So ya want to move to Mexico? Start the process then... from I first started thinking seriously about actually moving to Mexico to the time I jumped in my car and went was only a matter of months. It would have been much quicker but I bought a new car and had to wait for the title to get mailed to me, etc.
Point is, when I decided to go, I put things in motion and went.
To be 100% honest, Moving to Mexico was by far the best thing I've done - it has been an amazing experience from the very beginning and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. Am I going to stay here in beautiful Playa del Carmen indefinitely? I have no idea... and I have no specific exit strategy.
If I end up being here for quite a while longer, I wouldn't be surprised. Mexico is pretty damn awesome. At least where I'm at. It's the perfect tropical paradise located on the Caribbean side and there are miles upon miles of perfect beaches and amazing weather pretty much year round.
So don't be surprised if you see videos coming from south of the border for a good long time. I love it here. Even though I plan on traveling extensively, Playa del Carmen, Mexico may end up being my home base. Now.... if I happen to find someplace I like better, who knows? But right now I'm happy and that's what we all really want, isn't it?

What Can $10 Get You in MANILA, PHILIPPINES? (Filipino Street Food)
The Philippines (Manila) is one of the cheapest countries (cities) in all of Asia. In this video, I took $10 USD to see how much Filipino food I could get at a street food market in Manila. I have spent about a year of my life in the Philippines and I love this country so much, from the friendly people to the amazing beaches and mouth watering food. If you have any travel-related questions about the Philippines, let me know in the comments below!
Please Note that this video is about a year old (I am reposting the entire '$10 series' as I only shared it on FB and not YT). As you'll notice, the editing is not great and it moves way too fast, but I still wanted to share it with you anyways. As always, thanks for watching my videos!
