Day in My Life in Queretaro, Mexico (as a solo female)

[@MaddieGold]

Life in Queretaro! What do you think? P.S. I'll have some big updates coming out in my upcoming email newsletters! Subscribe here: maddiegold.aweb.page/p/1c1d4297-44aa-4e36-8d2a-cec315e981ea

[@catamountmpls]

Nice vid. I definitely would need a draft guard at the doors to keep the scorpions out. Living in Minnesota has its advantages in that regard. You've made me want to pick up a plant tomorrow when I go out. Like that you show the prices of things like food and car rides.

[@stormtrooper346]

My favorite part in this video was when you twirled around and your clothes were changed. I wish I had known about this when you were a baby... It would’ve made changing your diaper so much easier!

[@JosalynMarie]

ThNks for sharing! When do you plan to move back? Sad to see you leave but time for new beginnings

[@Littlepaw7]

I think you made a wise choice leaving the United States. I am hoping to leave soon. It’s a wrap for our country. I will take the blaring car alarms in Mexico any day over the blaring political hate and division on both sides of the isle in our country😢but I wish you well on your home coming. My son is moving to Arizona this month for work and school. Hoping he will enjoy it.

[@neutrino78x]

wow you look beautiful in this Maddie 😍😲 obviously no stranger to the gym....former gymnast, I believe it! 😍

[@albertoisita9944]

Maddie! it was a pleasure being your chiropractor, I wish you the best in this next stage of your life, I admire you so much and im so grateful that you could show a beautiful and unknown side of México. Also thank you so much for sharing my work, it was an honor!

[@MaddieGold]

Aww thank you so much, Alberto! It was a pleasure meeting you and having you as my chiropractor. You're very talented at what you do! I always enjoyed our visits! 😊 Hope you get some new clients from this video...I know they'll be in great hands!

[@enle2002]

Hi Alberto, could you recommend a good chiropractor in Mérida?

[@eugeniebreida1583]

@@MaddieGoldIf I were in Mx nearby, I would be delighted! to call Alberto for an appt - very gentle/knowledgable/kind!

[@briannefultonmiller2956]

Lots of life growing in that apartment…enough plants to give to all of your friends to have a bit of Maddie to remember! It’s really a testament to how you’ve rebuilt your life into something beautiful over the last couple of years. May there be more pothos and more growth as you head back to the states. All the best to your dad in his surgery, too, and loving his wholesome and funny presence in the comments.

[@stormtrooper346]

Brian… Brian… Brian… Your plant growth/life growth analogy is beautiful! Thank you for your kind words and prayers! They are very much appreciated! Oh…I almost forgot… You are a fantastic judge of character!😂

[@avalanchebuilders]

I spent 15 years living in Mexico (21-36) It's hard to stay and even harder to stay away. I actually saw you on the street once in my neighborhood when I was back for a 6 months visit near Arcos Vallarta. You're an inspiration. And Mexico will always keep running through your veins. All your favorite places will call you back and itll feel like home again. No matter what for me Mexico is home even if Im somewhere else for awhile too....

[@lensessions]

I’m sure a million people will tell you that the only way you could lose residency now is if you inadvertantly re-enter Mexico as a tourist (which can happen if you use the automatic gates!).

[@MaddieGold]

Good point!!

[@user-ms6rm1fc9x]

Can you explain, please Im new to living in mexico. Thx

[@KineticCode]

​@@user-ms6rm1fc9xU are given a residence card when u go through the residence process. If you reenter, you have to use the residence card if you want to continue with residency. Entering as a tourist(getting Fmm card) could complicate things, because you're technically starting your new stay as a tourist and not as a resident.

[@robertgutierrez83]

Hey Maddie, have you ever thought about doing the auxiliar de conversación program in Spain? If you’ve not heard of it, you basically teach conversational English to students in Spain and get paid between 700-1000 euros a month. With your Spanish skills and curiosity I think you’d have a great time there while showing us your experiences there. I did the program 10 years ago and it was amazing.

[@NightFlightTM]

Thank you for all these years entertaining and educating us on your adventures in Mexico. Your unique charm and honesty with us subscribers is what truly captures our attention and also endears us. Looking forward to your new adventures and the next chapters with Maddie Gold. ✨️

[@TrujilloRosalba]

Maddie, when you started talking about your plantitas thriving in water, I got goosebumps all over. That always happens when I feel good energy and Truth from someone or something. It is such a pleasure to watch your videos. Tienes ángel, MaddieGold! Un abrazo muy grande. 🧡

[@MaddieGold]

Aww that is the most beautiful thing, thank you for sharing 🥰🫶 Abrazos!!

[@pammc2783]

As I type this, this video has been out for 11 hrs with 13k views. I don't know much about youtube except what I observe on other channels I watch, and based on the other channels I watch, that seems really good. It seems to indicate not only do you create great content, but people like YOU.

[@khorneschosen7561]

Love Maddie's singing voice.

[@MaddieGold]

Thank you 😊

[@stormtrooper346]

I would love to say that she gets her singing voice from her dad, but… That’s the furthest thing from the truth!😂

[@maryn8139]

Yes, Maddie, you have a beautiful voice! Please keep singing--maybe learn how to play guitar & write your own songs!! You would be great! ;-)

[@GigioRmz]

Hey Maddie, I just had to drop by and leave a comment! Your voice and personality are a winning combo that keeps me hooked from start to finish in every video. 😊 While I'll miss your travel videos exploring my home country, Mexico, I'm genuinely excited to see you embark on new adventures in the USA. Keep up the fantastic work, and best of luck with everything ahead!

[@autumngreen6065]

You look good Maddie

[@bodhijenn]

This was an especially awesome video, Maddie! Wishing you all the best in this next chapter & looking forward to you sharing with us your adventures in AZ & beyond! ❤😊

[@festerofest4374]

Maddie, I love plants too. When you will be settled somewhere for a while and can take care of plants again, I have a couple of favorites to recommend that are extremely easy to propagate if you want more little ones: The rubber plant and the Christmas cactus. So easy to root in soil from cuttings! Christmas cactus in particular thrive if they can get some Sun on them every day, but can survive very well in low light too. And like most plants, they do not need a lot of watering. 3-4 weeks if in a good soil mix.

[@aracelicampos5866]

Maddie you definitely have good energy cause plants thrive on that and look at that house full of beautiful and happy plants!🥰😍💕

[@MaddieGold]

That is the best compliment I could receive, thank you 🥰

[@ronaldoago-go5907]

Love this Maddie! Kinda made me sad but mostly good feels..Good luck with your new direction.

[@1977elisandro]

The pedestrian lifestyle is what I love about Mexico. I wish my parents would visit.

[@Lov17213]

Best of luck in whatever you do Maddie. I hope you keep posting videos wherever you are. I’d really miss seeing your videos. Peace and love.

[@sjanafehr144]

Awe, what a wonderful video… you are glowing, and it’s not the blush😉😉 the excitement in your decision to move back is evident.. cannot wait to see your adventures in Arizona and beyond. Continue on Maddie!! 🥰

[@conniec7650]

That’s the same thing I thought watching this video. Maddie is glowingly happy! It’s really nice to see!

[@dinawhite5175]

Awe Maddie such an endearing video a day into your life you sure got a lot accomplished your plants are amazing that might be a little hard to leave behind but you have a green thumb and no doubt you’ll duplicate your nursery again !! Your enchiladas looked really delicious it was really nice for you to share all of this with us your a sweet soul and I wish you all the happiness in the world You Deserve it God Bless

[@ddc93760]

Thanks for your videos! Love how you do them!!! So great to watch h ❤

[@fredbeagle307]

Your hard work really pays off... great video!!

[@CraftyComeLately]

These are the exact type of videos I ove. Details, info, personalization and humor and singing!!

[@SofiNme365]

I loved the singing! And your presentation A+ 😂😘

[@MaddieGold]

Thank you!! 😁

[@5cats2kids8]

Missed ya Maddie! Welcome back.

[@reneap9049]

I love your channel!! You are so fun, just you doing you!!

[@arthurmcgee4746]

It's good to see your taking care of yourself. I really liked the plants 🪴.

[@bbdaria3023]

hey Maddie you are such a happy and positive person....good vibes to you

[@ienekevanhouten4559]

I have not tuned for a while, but really enjoyed this. It looks like you got your sparkle back after the painful breakup. Quite frankly, in spite of the name I think TT is doomed without you. Loved the singing and the stretch section. Blessed be!

[@grwanderers3812]

Wish you all the best and hope everything goes well for your dad . Looking forward to see more adventures in this new chapter.

[@CumbiaDancer5678]

Hey Maddie! Great video. Thanks for sharing. On the subject of your residency visa, I just returned back to Mexico after a year away. I had no issues whatsoever re-entering on my Permenant Residency visa. Easy peasy.

[@coralarce9816]

The food looks so good. We have been to Queretaro and we loved it. The New Year's Eve celebration in the centro is amazing.

[@jhors7777]

Glad to hear you singing lovely Maddie xxoo

[@GaryJones2012]

Great history of what you're leaving behind. You know we'll follow you to the ends of the earth. Love ya, girl! 🥰

[@wendishaver9520]

Your channel just keeps getting better!

[@MaddieGold]

I appreciate that! 😄

[@suzieq1827]

Hi Maddie I’m so happy I found your channel because even though I was born in Mexico I did not grow up there. So finding ways to make a connection with Mexico and the culture etc in English is just so amazing! I appreciate seeing Mexico through your experience. I wish I was closer to have a chat in person over a coffee but live in UK. Although currently in Thailand. Hope your move back to the US goes well and wish you all the best for the future. I’ll keep watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing your daily life with us. 😊

[@stormtrooper346]

Thank you for your kind words Suzie! It sounds like you are quite the world traveler. Even though Maddie won't be living in Mexico any longer she plans to continue making Mexico videos in the future. She will also be adding videos from her hometown of Phoenix, Arizona and beyond.

[@tjegan1417]

mucha suerte Maddie!!!

[@lightningbottle]

we all gonna miss you here, come back often as you can and keep doing it great

[@elizavetamccasland]

Maddie, wishing you all the best with your move back home to your family❤❤❤❤ LOVE your energy and humor! And your plantitas are so cute, they will miss you😊😊😊😊 Hope to see your adventures in Arizona and beyond🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 P.S. Always wanted to know more about your health/healing journey as I can relate. So a video about it would be very welcome!

[@navad3038]

Maddie we love you pls be safe and keep the good vives

[@ronaldoago-go5907]

Second that..

[@beuford23]

We've lived vicariously through your videos of TTs and now your own channel. We also enjoyed content from the Country Collectors. Now that both are done, gone, its going to ve hard to find Mezico content videos that "click* with us. Thanks for providing us with adventurous content that was much needed during covid lockdowns.

[@davebacon6194]

great vlog maddie!😊😊

[@nancee508]

Love your love of your plant babies!

[@susannejensen8087]

You will not lose your permanent residency. I've asked immigration whether we have to be in mexico for any amount of time. I was told "no". Only to let immigration know when you are leaving mexico and when you're back.

[@rangerbob42]

I actually found this video informative and very interesting! Thanks for doing it and sharing!

[@mickb1471]

Never give up your vlogs, you look happier each time.

[@vickym9221]

You're such a vibrant person with a zest for life, it must be so frustrating to be limited by not having a car! I hope your move back to the US is smooth. I can't wait to see what you get up to after you arrive and get settled in!

[@adriennegross7607]

Thank you for the bit about Querétaro food. I also wondered if there was any unique delicacy. And thanks for the pozole restaurant/business tip too! It's my fave Mexican food (so far). I want to know the chisme from your lovely chiropractor but I respect that you cut it out of the video jajajajaja.

[@CMMac-yi2cf]

Maddie, I just loved this vid.

[@damonmelendez856]

Looking fwd to see PHX hiking and day trip videos! Good luck with the move 🙂

[@85tv12]

I spent a lot of time watching you when we were making our plans to move to Mexico in 2021. Especially since my kids and I also have so many food allergies/sensitivities. We have been in Oaxaca for a bit more that 2 years now. (We have been finding so many scorpions here too… almost one a day! 😬 ) I wish you all the best in your new transition and will look forward to continuing to watch it unfold in your videos.

[@katem4365]

This was really enjoyable Maddie 😊 I've been on vac in Valladolid, Yucatan and craving Pasole - I must have it before I leave to go home. The heat this trip has been off the charts 47 w humidex last few days. I enjoyed your chiro visit as well. I need to resume going myself.

[@JCA51698]

Hi Maddie from Tucson! Always loved your videos. Best wishes to you and your future life in Phoenix :)

[@lynfl9814]

Very well done video, enjoy coming along with you for a day your life in Queretaro, Mexico.

[@natepolitics1490]

I love videos like this. Keep up the great work.

[@edwardulrich1515]

Oh, Maddie, I will miss all of your México adventures, but I wish you well as you journey back to the USA. It's a wait and see to experience what new shenanigans lie ahead once you land back in Phoenix. You'll need to add "Stormtrooper" (aka Dad) to at least one vlog so that we can experience his sense of humor in real time. 😊

[@gkitty512]

You have a beautiful voice Maddie!! I’m excited to see your journey returning home to Phoenix.

[@MaddieGold]

Thank you so much!

[@higherlove1111]

Excellent video… So fun! I know you put up with a lot unnecessary negativity from trolls and haters, just so that we can follow along on your journey. Thank you for not throwing in the towel. No matter where you are or where you go... We love you and will continue watching.

[@user-rg7zk3py5y]

Love your videos. My wife and I are looking at retirement in Ajijic. I’m afraid she will change her mind with grand kids coming. I tell her we will come and visit. Sad to hear you are moving back. Always enjoyed your videos. Even with tangerine. You made the videos great on both channels

[@le_th_]

Infants, toddlers, and young children NEED their grandparents. Their brains are in critical stages of neurodevelopment, so they NEED...not want...NEED a lot of safe, nurturing, family members around them to help support the parents and provide a safety net. Again, this is a NEED...not a want. Once they start school, their neurodevelopment will be further along, and teachers and schoolmates can (not always, but hopefully) fill in and make the grandparents less necessary. If you have any shred of conscience and are capable of caring about others, versus being self-absorbed, you care about a child's early years of neurodevelopment, even when that child is not yours. Again, this is about NEED...not want...but genuine need. Your wife is probably an empathic, decent human being. It's unfortunate not everyone is. Self-absorption is such an unattractive character trait, showing a weakness in character. Hopefully, you're not one of those self-absorbed people who can't wait 4-5 years to live there.

[@carolmartin4413]

What a great video showing daily life for you in Mexico. Makes me sad that I missed the opportunity to move there 10 years ago. Now stuck in usa cause it's impossible to get insurance at 77. But...watching your vids compensates so thanks so much. It's a beautiful country.

[@victoriajohnson5304]

BON APPÉTIT MADDIE! 💖💖🌞🌻🌞💖💖

[@AJMiller1989]

You are so amazingly flexible! Also the addition of plants in a home are always a welcome site. So sorry you can't take them with you.

[@Meluvkatz]

In a future video, can you make Phoenix hiking videos? I have family members in Phoenix and it would be nice to know where to go.

[@MaddieGold]

Absolutely!

[@normaevett]

Maddie, you're so funny! Loved the singing! You've got star power, girl!

[@lauras627]

Yay great video. Can’t wait to see your new videos transitioning back to the US.

[@andrewdavey6971]

Thanks so much for showing us more of Querétaro! I've loved your Mexico vlogs, and it's been amazing to see the evolution of this channel over the last 2 years. I wish you a safe journey back to the U.S., and I hope all will be well with you and your family.

[@timmmahhhh]

Cafe ah-muh-DAY-oos, as in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Rock me Amadeus! Thanks for the updates and great video! Also I remember you saying how amazing the food is in Oaxaca and an ad came up recently for a Oaxacan restaurant here in the Chicago area I'm excited to try!

[@whacked00]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you!

[@jonathanjourneys]

Maddie so excited to se you back in Queretaro! Please let's organize a meet and greet! My husband and I love your content❤

[@georgejetson9801]

What a wonderful surprise to find this today. I really loved it. Yes, I'd be interested in hearing more about the mercury poisoning. I'd also be curious about the neighborhood your apartment is in after you've moved out, as it seems pretty nice.

[@scarleyxo]

Love your recording studio!!! 😂 seriously though, you are very good!!!

[@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426]

After 36 hours and four flights, I finally got to Puebla ❤❤❤ so happy to be back..spent a month visiting family

[@cindylouise4879]

Oh my gosh, didn’t know you sang, beautiful voice. Looking forward to following along with you on your new journey 😌

[@dianaj3139]

Another terrific video! One thing I would love to see you do a video on when you get back to AZ is the wonderful Botanical Garden just North of Phoenix Airport area... I was SO smitten with it I hope to go back again and again... they also have amazing ART classes and concerts there... a Butterfly area and more! Ok... Just love your content NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE!! :)

[@DaniefromCanada]

Love your water babies ❤😄

[@michaelsmith2078]

Mattie, Thank you for another video. I hope your channel stays alive in Arizona. We will miss your videos from here in Mexico.

[@joeremus9039]

I'm freaked out about cracking sound but love your video up to that point. You are very cute and have a wonderful sunny attitude to life that I enjoy watching. Keep up the good work.

[@cryptomarkla69]

Hello Maddie from San Diego. Wonderful video and Queretaro looks like a fun state to visit!

[@Dogdadd98]

Maddie, I’m a subscriber from Illinois. Just wanted to say I enjoy watching your videos and I’m Mexican but I don’t speak Spanish lol, so I kinda learn a little by you. Thanks 😊

[@margiedavis1685]

For scorpions: sprinkle the hottest dry/powdered pepper available, such as habanero or hotter into any cracks or spaces the scorpions can enter. You can also use salt that is finely ground.

[@LBC13]

Beautiful Voice!! I want more!! Lol Love you Maddie!

[@susanlong8978]

You sing really well!!! Your full of surprises!

[@MaddieGold]

Thank you 😊

[@laurenmiller5406]

Yes please do a dedicated video for the mercury poisoning and other health concerns…Thank you Maddie !

[@sarajohnson6550]

Now I want pozole! 😩Maddie I said it before and I’ll say it again, you are an amazing story teller! I could listen to you all day! How about a skincare routine? Safe travels Maddie!

[@ErinChisman]

100% agree on the difficulty of returning things in Mexico. I cant tell you how many times I've simply given up -- specifically with Sears!

[@fran3570]

Always good to know a good chiropractor. Thanks.

[@marthavillalobos7662]

Hi Maddi hi from Riverside , CA nice to see you again Maddi I have been in Querétaro 4 times and I fell in love with Mexico and the there beautiful people and there food and we went to tequis and Bernal and brought me some great wine.

[@MaddieGold]

That's so awesome! Queretaro is such a beautiful state

[@karenledesma7964]

Your such a smart girl❤ make it happen wherever you are!!!

[@alejandraescobedo1]

Love your recording studio!! 😂😂😂

[@eddiegreene7334]

I have been watching you for years. I’m a little sad that you’re leaving Mexico! Will definitely watch you in the U.S.! 🤞 best of luck.

[@andrewthacker114]

Good news on the resident permit, enjoyed the clip.

[@kkrivs7864]

cool video maddie ❤

[@Karime18]

I vacationed in Queretaro, MX this past August and I must say...I fell in love with Mexico even more. We went on a couple of tours and we loved it all. I recommend going on as many tours as you can. There's a wine and cheese tour that's highly recommended.

[@moonchild7456]

Super fun video--interesting and informative --don't worry about the philodendron! You can find those in the U.S. galore. Love the rose ceramic water holder! And of course so much more.

[@Farawaynow]

Those enchiladas!!!

[@lanalorenzen]

I just read about the sale of Tangerine Travels and the issues involved. I used to watch Tangerine Travels a lot a few years ago. Well, my preference is your new channel, so I've subscribed and the very best!

[@shiroumxm2052]

Go whereever you feel happy!! we knw you love México and you enjoye it. And you can visit us anytime you want, Texas is not too far

[@MisterMikeTexas]

That stew at the end reminded me of the red chili stew I'd always have at Pancho's buffet.

[@khinkify]

A bitter sweet video to get this peek into one of your final days in Mexico 🇲🇽 in this transitional chapter of your life! ❤ wishing you many blessings on your journey onward!
