New Mexico is truly the land of enchantment ✨

[@AlexanderAyling]

Couldn’t agree more. Love it out there

[@mermaidkatrina]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for featuring Santa Fe! I’ve lived here for 30 years and still fall back in love with this sweet city every day. My daughter and I have followed you (and your brother) since the beginning. I think it was about 8 years ago when my daughter met you and your brother at the Amsterdam airport and got a selfie with the two of you. Thank you again for all of your videos! I’ve also loved all of your New Zealand adventures with Carrie!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Aww thank you and your daughter for the years of support Katrina. I love Santa Fe - such a unique city in the USA. Cheers!

[@cynthialeaf8358]

New Mexico is so beautiful!

[@AlexanderAyling]

It’s seriously gorgeous. Underrated travel destination for sure

[@christineumanzio1170]

I have never seen a travel vlog show this area as in depth as you did! Thank you very enlightening! Happy travels!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Christine - it’s such a cool area

[@ericandkayla2019]

Going there in two weeks. Great video! I’m a history buff myself and this place checked all boxes to visit. Me and my girl are excited to get there.

[@chrissessions6108]

Lovely video. New Mexican food is my favorite food in the world. I get emotional thinking about the way those Hatch green chiles dance upon the taste buds. 🥹

[@AlexanderAyling]

It’s delicious for sure but so filling haha

[@pameladeleone135]

Same here. My favorite food in the world. I moved here because of it.🥰 It is a beautiful state!

[@Marie-w5f2o]

You are such a great travel vlogger (is this the right phrase?); the BEST I have ever come across. Your narration, photography, and personal viewpoint alongside such historical knowledge--what a real taste of Santa Fe you give. Thank you!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Marie, I really appreciate that. 🤙🏼

[@judithhallstapes7738]

wonderfully done. Lived there 15 years and want to move back again,

[@AlexanderAyling]

It’s a gorgeous town

[@candismckinzie4515]

I live in Santa Fe and wanted to thank you for your video. You nailed it, the beauty, history, art and people. Every day and I mean every day, no matter good or bad, there is always a small, magic moment the reminds me of how fortunate I am to live in the special place. Thank you.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Wow, thank you! I love Santa Fe, it's so unique in the USA. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@Scarrie_Carrie]

I just moved here and have yet to explore much. I can't wait! It truly is the land of enchantment ❤

[@francisa751]

"Sangre de Cristo" mountains means the Christ's Blood mountains.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Yup! Pretty intense name haha

[@BrancyCDA]

It's on my bucket list and I loved that you shot so many details of the places you went and talked so much about the history, which is the soul of every place.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Nancy. Hope you enjoy your future trip and check back on this video before you go ;)

[@BernadettePedroni]

Best place in the world!!! I love Santa Fe!!

[@Diana-lo6cx]

Love this video, Alexander!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Diana

[@moniquevelasco20]

What a beautiful and interesting place. The culture is just so unique. Great job on getting the native flute. Can’t wait to hear you play it. The food looked amazing. Loved it. Love and be safe!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Monique. I’m still learning but it’s a beautiful little instrument

[@deedeedugan7950]

Really enjoyed the video. We’re going there next week and got some really good ideas of what to see and where to go. Lots of people have videos of the area but I really liked yours. It was very low key but moved fast enough not to be boring. The insightful commentary regarding the history of a place was appreciated. Like you, I love architecture and history and your video blended both quite well. I wouldn’t have walked around the Barrio but now definitely will.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Glad you enjoyed my style. Make sure you subscribe for more

[@maureenlowe32]

O my word I have been waiting patiently to see a full video from you and this was certainly worth the wait …I loved every minute hearing about the history architecture food etc etc Thanks again from NZ

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Maureen. I appreciate your support! More adventures and videos coming soon.

[@ahlivetuhsidamaro150]

I’m bringing my 89-year-old father there in February to see the stairs at the Loretto Chapel. But I’m really looking forward to seeing the culture there. Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@victoriabaxter6147]

My heart is so happy that you and Carrie had the chance to explore Santa Fe. New Mexico is my home and it’s so rich with beauty and history. Beautiful video! Made me hungry 😂

[@AlexanderAyling]

We loved it out there! Thanks for watching

[@tommunyon2874]

When my mother would take me to Santa Fe for orthodontic appointments I would end up spending more hours in town than I intended. She would get so wrapped up in shopping that I would wait seemingly forever for her to pick me up after my appointment. I never spent as much as 48 hours in one stretch in Santa Fe, however. Bandelier was one of our favorite Sunday picnic spots. We made sure to take visiting relatives there for a picnics, as well.

[@lesrunmore]

I couldn't agree more with you about your feelings toward Santa Fe, and New Mexico in general - they are magic! On a return trip can I suggest a visit to Chimayo? A trip to see the beautiful Santuario, the Chile Man of Chimayo, and a meal at Rancho de Chimayo make a fantastic day trip, not too far down the road.

[@CasadeRoja999]

Nicely done! Looking forward to visiting this Spring. It's calling to us.

[@stargazer5073]

Great job as always!

[@AlexanderAyling]

I thought so too, but they wanted $250 haha

[@caddyzig]

@@AlexanderAyling 😬 Okay, good call!

[@thatgirl_Devi]

I love these vlogs and your artistic camera skill! Loved the Nashville vlog lol "Sangre de Cristo" means "Christ's blood" in Spanish but I'm sure you already knew that lol I hope you and Carrie are safe!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Devi! We’re doing fine

[@jafetcardenascontreras6618]

Hi Alex, I love this place, New Mexico is cool, in legacy Spain and the nascent Mexico Santa Fe communicated with Mexico City: going by others cities Chihuahua City, Victoria de Durango, Zacatecas, Guanajuato to Mexico City. This road is called "La Ruta Tierra Adentro" they used it a lot before Mexico lost New Mexico, now World Heritage. I love the landscapes and that city.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thanks for watching and sharing. I didn’t know about that Ruta. I’m sure it would be interesting to travel it

Ancients didn't add sugar to their hot chocolate, and it was thicker like a sauce consistency.

We are here now. Also would suggest The Georgia O’Keefe Museum too.

[@truepatriot6388]

Sorry to hear about the hurricane and devastating flooding in Aotearoa/NZ. I hope your place there and all the critters are ok.

[@Fancy1450]

Fabulous!

[@johnpinkerton772]

Very good.

[@kurtisquintana7069]

Also people should go drive around the east side to see the homes. The homes are beautiful in Santa Fe.

He laments that Spanish recaptured the area, but loves the Spanish architecture and cultural heritage

[@AlexanderAyling]

One can have a nuanced understanding of history, viewing the beauty and tragedy together, with a holistic view of the past... the place wouldn't be what is without both of those influences and histories.

[@V0L1SH10N]

@@AlexanderAyling speaking like a politician: using platitudes, vaguery. In your proclaimed holistic view, why did you not mention how this land ended up being part of US?

[@ronniesmith2899]

The elected officials not governing our city is creating chaos for the people visiting and people living in Santa Fe. The loud cars that take over our city day and night and the speeding cars and running red lights is an embarrassment to this city and the tax payers. There is no police presence to control any of this. In short, Santa Fe is going in the wrong direction. The officials are more interested with making the rail and art district another Disney park and not fixing problems at hand. I moved to Santa Fe over 14 years ago and love it, but the last few years of increased noise from the modified car mufflers have taken over the sound scape and is causing noise pollution that's unacceptable for most cities. My family and friends will no longer visit due to lack of sleep either in hotel rooms or at my place due to the noise. There are laws in place to curb the illegal cars but it's not being enforced. This is unfair and I don't know to approach it. I have contacted the governor's office and never received a reply, same with the mayor. Do our elected officials ever step outside to see what's going on in this city? This has been going on for a long time and there's been more than ample time to fix this.
