MASSIVE STREET MARKET in GUADALAJARA, MEXICO

[@MaddieGold]

Guess who has another trip planned to Mexico City! 🙋‍♀️ This girl!! Any recommendations you can throw my way? Video requests while I'm there?

[@MysticGwen]

I recommend 👌 enjoying 😉 yourself, Maddie... Strawberry 🍓 blended margaritas 🍹, handsome Latin men, 1 that dances 🕺, and a 4 or 5 star 🌟 hotel (resort).

Hi from Florida

[@acoustic5738]

Chill at la Condesa.

[@JorgeR]

Sooooooo many things to do and so little time (just life) to visit everything. why not a whole day at Chapultepec park that includes visiting the Chapultepec Zoo, Castle, park, the Japanese garden and to start on the Museo de antropología. And the cherry on the cake ends at W Hotel terrace for some "tragos coquetos"

[@AmandaMcGee]

Proud of you for making this video. As a woman living alone in Mexico, I understand all your fears. Been watching you for a few years and I am just proud of you in general... I don't know if I could keep moving forward publicly with the strength, grace, and honesty that you have shown. Hugs from Oaxaca, lovely Maddie. You have a supporter and friend in me ☀️💕

[@MaddieGold]

Wow Amanda, you are too kind. This comment really made my day! 💛

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I am also proud of Maddie for getting back up on the horse.

[@AmandaMcGee]

@@SuiGenerisAbbie yasss!! Everything she's gone through, not only publicly, but while living in another country with a different culture and language.... it's just 🤯 a lot. Thank you for joining me in voicing your support. Abrazos desde Oaxaca amigo(a) ☀️💕

[@susanlarson3583]

You said it so well. I too am a woman living alone in Mexico. Thanks for putting my thoughts into your well thought out words.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Couldn’t have said it better myself Amanda! (Ama 😉)

[@OldSoulPammy]

Great video, Maddie! You seemed calm and confident. Just choose your locations with care, stay alert, trust your gut and you should be safe. Take care, this grandma is VERY PROUD OF YOU! Love you! ☮️❤️😎

[@sjanafehr144]

look at you go!! I could sense the apprehension in your voice as you video first started, but then as you continued on your spunk and positivity shone through!! Thanks for taking us along, would love to one day spend a morning doing the same.. take care, Maddie, proud of all you are conquering!!🥰

[@MaddieGold]

You have no idea how apprehensive I was to make this video...like I said I almost didn't do it. Even when I took the Uber there I was thinking, "If I feel comfortable enough to make a video, I will. If not, I'll at least enjoy looking at the artesanias!" Anyway, thank you for watching and the sweet comment Sjana 💛

[@stuart_oneill]

@@MaddieGold Good job!. I was concerned until I saw 'you' kick in and just be yourself. Part of that is simply you being an honest soul. You've kept me watching this long....& it will be longer. Congratulations.

[@KyleJess]

Maddie is KILLING IT! Loving the new channel, awesome content and super stoked for you to be hitting your stride with these videos and stepping out of your comfort zone in more ways than one along the way! 🙌Keep up the awesome work!

[@darcibeckford6848]

Hi Maddie! I’m loving your solo videos! I am really enjoying the variety of content, and your collaborations. You have a natural connection with people, so I love watching your interactions. I also enjoy how authentic and vulnerable you are, and that I don’t feel I’m being fed some instagram-perfect view. I love watching how you persist, despite your fears. You are showing both us and yourself what you’re really made of, and what I’m seeing is pretty amazing.

[@VivianFabiolaV]

So glad you didn’t let fear take over and you went and shot this video! I want cacao now 🫢 I think you should visit Monte Coxala and treat yourself to a spa there! I went once and loved it

[@MaddieGold]

Thanks amiga!! I need to figure out what to make with this cacao now 😁 thanks for the rec! I love a good spa and it’s been a while

[@pretty.odd.]

As someone who suffers from pretty bad anxiety I'm so glad you did this! It's good to push yourself sometimes. You have to show to yourself that even when your concerns are reasonable, your life can go on! 💜

[@BoxingSavedMe]

🙄 every country has it's bad Apples

[@redgoldglow]

Yes, do it! Go out and share Mexico with us! You’ll get used to being stared at - people are just curious. I really like the exchanges in Spanish. We’re living vicariously through you. Don’t let a rare bad experience keep you from fully enjoying all the good experiences.

[@samscorgie3484]

Had to add in, i agree! Love seeing the Spanish interactions, thank you for including those! :)

[@susanlarson3583]

Sooo proud of you! You will look back on these "facing my fear" times as the most important of your life! You've been through a lot over the last year and you are doing it! We're all walking with you. One step at a time.

[@davebacon6194]

i've been watching you for a few years maddie, you are a good person

[@m.alawski2348]

Don't ever stop making videos. You're killing it ✌️🙌 México city would be an awesome place to make a video. I heard it's a great place to be for young people like yourself, and that there are beautiful neighborhoods. I liked when you showed some homes that that were for sale. I think that pertains to a lot of people-especially from where I am from (Canada). A lot of retirees and young nomads looking for new countries to call home!

[@3rdEarlRussell]

Yes, I always tell my American friends how great Mexico City is. I live in the US and I think about my beloved home city everyday. The food, the sights, the constant motion, the varied architecture from different eras, the cultural opportunities, the people, it’s all great.

[@phillco7988]

Hello Maddie! I have a good idea of what those folks were thinking when they saw you walking by. It’s either “OMG, that’s Maddie!” That or “Who’s that girl?” Some might even be thinking about gonging a bell. Also, I was thinking that if you’re not comfortable walking around recording yourself, maybe try recording yourself at home for a while. If surveyed, I’m sure that a vast majority of your followers would admit that they subscribe because of you, as in who you are, your personality, and not just because you’re a solo female living in Mexico. Maybe you could try a ‘Maddie Talks’ type format. But as always, I think that you should ultimately follow your heart. Also know that I’ll always support you, no matter what scene you decide to throw down on KZbin. Oh, and is there still a Six Flags in Mexico City? That could be fun! 🎢 💜

[@Renee933]

Girl, you’re so brave! I’m so happy that you went out and did your thang! Your photography is really beautiful too.

[@trishdearen13579]

Awww I’m glad you made yourself do the video. Plus, I LOVE the market, too! Seeing all the beautiful things that are handmade…wonderful.

[@fathersweek]

I really like your candour and honesty about the stress and difficulty working alone vs. with a partner. You’re doing great at it.

[@ltdodgen]

I’m just like you…can never get enough of mercados and el tianguis! You are going to really grow from your solo travels, believe me, so keep pushing yourself. Every solo experience will make you stronger and more confident. I’m so glad to be on this journey with you, if only as a loyal viewer!

[@dennisconnors6042]

Great job filming all by yourself Maddie! Keep up the good work!

[@susanm149]

Good for you getting back out there! I like exploring cities on my own, but I imagine it is very difficult to do it while videoing yourself at the same time and after a traumatic incident. You did a great job and I enjoyed seeing the market.

[@cindyjohnson1456]

Loved this video. I felt like I was walking along with you. I too, never tire of walking through markets. I love all the colors, smells, and tastes you can enjoy. Also, good people watching. Keep on posting! We are watching!

[@jackietrueblood5916]

Maddie, our dear friend who lives in Ajijic had her phone stolen right out of her hand just outside her casa. And Roy and I were there visiting her when it happened. Evidently, it is a "thing" that is happening all over. Please don't let fear take over because of this incident. Keep moving forward! I enjoyed this video, and I'm pulling for you as you begin this new chapter of your life.

[@katandtonyTVMM]

Lovely day at the market, Maddie. You're doing excellent with your solo vlogging. Facing your fears one video at a time. Keep up the good work!

[@ruthgibson6475]

Loved seeing all the activity in the market! I love seeing all the vendors and their stuff. You did a great job filming by yourself. Looking forward to your next video.

[@MrWhip55]

I've never seen a Market so big, Maddie. You must have had fun making this blog. I really enjoyed watching...Cheers.

[@MaddieGold]

So glad to hear it MrWhip! I will never NOT love Mexican markets filled with artesanias like this. So much fun!

[@lilup9138]

Is probably a tianguis, sort of a huge farmers market with all kinds of products. These tianguis, take place at different places on different dates.

[@jlinn2521]

Great job getting out! I hope it gets easier for you. I enjoy seeing all the markets; it's just as fun to look at everything then needing to buy everything. It's the local life that I like to see in México.

[@orissagrajeda]

Los precios han subido en todo el mundo muchísimo. Aquí en Bélgica la electricidad subió casi 200%. Me encanta verte feliz Maddie! ❤️

[@cherylbalcombe5619]

Loved, loved this video! You have every right to feel proud of yourself! Also, thanks for the shout out for CDMX. I watch other vloggers in CDMX and it looks great, but was also worried about the pollution. I have decided on Spain other than Mexico, but with my daughter in Arizona (your old stomping grounds), I might be doing 2-3 months in Mexico each year. Love all that you do, Maddie, and wishing you all the good in life xx

[@lovemylifeflorida2641]

[@samscorgie3484]

THE PUPPIES!!! So cute!!! And so envious of that fresh fresh coconut water yum! Great price for the cacao too! A bag that size at a store in Canada would be over $15 for sure! They’re a good coffee substitute, just eat a pinch or two of them and boom! Lots of energy!

[@nobletijuana5844]

I’m very proud of you for going out and making the video after what happened!!!! Please don’t let that horrible experience stop you from doing what you love!!!!! Of course be vigilante and aware of your surroundings, but don’t live in fear!!!

Hi Maddie! Props to you for being brave and not letting your fears take over after what happened. I really enjoyed this video. I love the markets in Mexico, there’s always something different and or unique.

[@carlbutts1957]

Hello Vee this is Carl and your 100% correct as Maddie is a pioneer and never backs down from a challenge. She has no vlogging mate but steps up and gives her viewers what they want which is Maddie’s Gold (Adventures in Marketeering)! She knows it’s not Guadalajara it’s evil people and they are everywhere. Maddie is our “Queen” and she has many followers and supporters. With that kind of fan base and strength in numbers she should always have a person to vlog with and provide security. We need to reassure Maddie that she’s not alone and ask her to invest in her fan base she will never fear walking on the streets of Mexico ever again! Thousands of followers “Power in numbers Maddie just ask and you shall receive! Tell her Vee!

[@georgejetson9801]

I'm so proud of you Maddie! The drive by robberies are so violating and traumatic. I wasn't as brave as you as I left Thailand within days of leaving the hospital. That market looks amazing. Absolutely one of my favourite things to do. I also love going to small grocery stores in different countries. It was interesting hearing about the different cacao. It's sad how much Guadalajara has changed in just a few years. Mexico City does seem pretty cool. Seeing you there gives me courage to go as I've always been afraid of it. You're so inspiring and it's always great seeing a new video or post from you. 💛

You are a warrior girl! Don’t let a traumatic experience take over your awesomeness. You’ve inspired me to go to Mazunte again. I want to relive memories and try to find that cool guy who was your local guide! You have the power to do and attract good people, and you just have to heal yourself.

[@mariaabundantliving6965]

[@cpr0774]

Hi Maddie thank you for sharing this video even after what you went through, you are so admirable because you gave up so much but yet you keep going on in such a short period of time. I wish you would've stayed in Queretaro because it is a safer place for you to live but I can understand why you had to make some of the difficult decisions you have made and you don't have it easy. Please keep going we your followers are here for you .👍🙏

[@TrujilloRosalba]

Maddie, I was born in Guadalajara, came to the U.S. when I was 12 years old. I'm 50 now. It's sad but I would not go back to live there permanently. I hope you find your happy place. 💛

[@MaddieGold]

It's heartbreaking how Guadalajara has changed 😔 I hope I find my happy place too

[@MaddieGold]

Thanks Erik! I'm sure tryin

[@ariiblink]

As someone who lived in Mexico City for 10 years I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed living there to the point that its still one of my favorite cities in the whole world, I lived in La Condesa in a little apartment but I loved it! going out to the little cafes and the “centro de cultura Bella epoca” bookstore to read some good books was my favorite thing ever would 100% come back if I had the chance!!!

[@ceciliagarcia947]

Love you Maddie! Thank you for showing your viewers a glimpse of the " Tianguis" in Tonala, for as you know it extends up for miles and in towards the plaza (El Centro). I wish I had been there, I would have helped with the filming of your video for sure. I was there a couple of months ago and hoping to be back in July. I never get tired of strolling down those streets (usualy by myself). Even on non market days you can find some great restaurants, hole in the wall eateries and Cafés. The Museums will surprise you (just don't know if they are opened back up) and you have to climb up El Cerro de la Reina. You look great Maddie and I am so proud of you 😘 You go girl!

[@briannefultonmiller2956]

I totally understand the feelings of vulnerability after being robbed and I admire you hopping on the wagon and getting out again despite your fears. My vote so far is Mexico City for you. You just seem so happy in the videos when you’re there. It’s okay for a place not to be right for us, and we won’t know it if we don’t try it out. Stay safe out there, enjoy what you can where you are for the next few months, and onto the next thing!

[@blondetruther]

Good video Maddie! I can imagine how funny you feel filming yourself walking down the street - and you're right, if someone grabbed your phone it makes sense they could try to grab the camera. I had someone try to distract me in a market in Acapulco and I knew they wanted to try to grab my purse - so even busy marketplaces could be dicey. Mexico City could be a good move for you; tons of expats there I've heard, so you will probably meet some nice people to hang out with and great that your Spanish is so good; the Mexicans seem easy to make friends with. They are so nice and genuine. I am sure once you figure out where you want to be and make some friends there it will make a big difference.

[@evilhendrix2]

Maddie, people in Mexico stare at you because you're beautiful! Congratulations on your new channel.

[@AzDesertFoxx]

So glad you went out and about, even though it was a wee bit uncomfortable. It's easy for anyone to say "Just get out there", be we all know how tramatic being robbed can be. At the risk of sounding condescending, I'm so proud you faced your fears, and went for it! Great video!

Love this video and all the memories for me! One of the very first shopping places where I went crazy!! My most recent trip was hilarious because we booked a Hotel just a few steps away and just as we were getting our luggage a COW with a very loud Cowbell came running into the hotel parking area! LOL So yeah Mexico is full of surprises! I think going to Mexico City can be awesome if you are in the better areas... It's huge so of course there are some bad areas, but I adore the historical areas and Museums... huge parks with birds singing... so yeah! No matter where you go in Mexico there are adventures!!

[@hinthegroove9740]

I too have noticed the prices gone up dramatically in Mexico, I’m glad I experienced it before everything went up everywhere. Guadalajara is a gorgeous and sophisticated lady.

[@ccoolstuff1]

Great video Maddie 💖 it's tough striking out on your own . As far as artisan markets are concerned you may do video content every week. I too love Mexican art. I also love Tlaquepaque not only for art but the food is delicious. Try El Patio. Not sure if they allow recording, they are so very nice, and the food is beyond. I've eaten all over Guadalajara and El Patio is my favorite. I don't know if it's out of the question or regression but maybe you could team up with Jordan as friends and partners? Just a thought. Stay safe and I hope you find some peace in Guadalajara 💝

[@jennyhammond9261]

Mexico City is by far my favorite!!! I decided not to move there because my move is going to be very permanent and since the city is sinking..and prone to earthquakes on top of that, I figured the chances of my house getting cracked apart were too high. I'm starting to build near Pachuca in May. If you want a filming buddy, keep that in mind.

[@emilyglasser1072]

Hi Maddie, I'm very new to your site. No sooner did l watch the first time, two weeks ago, the second video l saw was the one when you were sharing your breakup💔 You are much more courageous than I could be in my dreams!!! I was so sad for you! Loosing your partner, Alaska, as well as your business all in one swoop, while still being locked into your lease in a foreign country, is HUGE!!! This is a testament to your strength💪💪 In life, we are never given more than we can bear! I've learned, when I've been faced with a very challenging hurdle, it makes the burden so much easier to handle, when l am able to look at the lesson behind it. This way of looking at the tremendously challenging issues has never failed to take away the sting down to 25 to 50 percent of the original anguish. I hope you're able to discern your lesson from this major hurdle. I wish there was a way l could communicate with you in not such a public platform. I wish you serenity in this turbulent time.💕😇😇😇 Emily
