Q&A - Celebrating 10k subscribers (Thanks for your questions 🤗)

[@soburlvt]

Congratulations on 10,000! Don't change how you present your videos. I think a lot of us are here because of your calm demeanor. I enjoy your humor and your topics.

[@zinniasj]

Love your videos. Agree with everyone - I also enjoy your calm manner, very candid, unpretentious, grounded and self aware. Hope you and your husband have a good and healthy new year!

[@696969bold]

You are so GENUINE, and it is refreshing to see such a personable, humble, and humanistic KZbin. My prayer is for your continued success while retaining all of these qualities!!

[@dnewton98]

I tell people "I explode onto every surface in a hotel room" - it works for me to have it mostly all out. ha

[@2009bubbaray]

Congratulations your husband's health and the 10K! Waving hi from Canada! PS -- keep one channel and grow that rather than trying to grow two channels!

[@catobubnikowicz9959]

Congratulations! Looking forward to many more videos.

[@yvonnejansen1449]

One of the reasons why people love you is because you are real, and you are genuine. You don’t spruik items like “influencers” do. When I see some videos like “my top 20 things I never leave home without” most of the stuff is rubbish and I don’t believe they travel with these things (but happy to get the commission). You show items that are practical and are useful! Finally, we just love YOU!! Best wishes to you and Emerson for 2024!

[@eileenbain5692]

Your presentation style is just perfect. Your honesty is refreshing. Don’t change it. No worry about your English. 🇨🇦

[@lisaf-d8521]

Congratulations! I’m drawn to your channel because of your authenticity and calm demeanor. I also appreciate that you are not a sell out creator. Stay true to yourself and your community will continue to grow. Finally, I’m happy to hear your hubby is progressing well. Having gone through the continuous testing when my husband had two separate cancer diagnosis in the same year, I understand the worry. Fortunately, he’s at a point where the intervals are less and we can more easily travel.

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thanks for the kind words. I wish you and your husband all the best and a good and healthy new year - and enjoy your traveling. 🤗

[@PencopiaPictorial]

Your accent adds to your videos. You give a great perspective and letting us know how you live every day life (compared to life in the US). And I’m a bag person, and its nice to see what works for your minimalism with travel.

[@SaraNovau]

Congratulations again Maggi for the 10k subscribers!!!! Thank you for this video and for answering my questions 🤩🤩 I wish you and Emerson a Happy 2024 🩷🩷

[@dianeneigebauer1036]

Congrats on your milestone 🎉. Keep up the good work🙂. I really enjoy your honest, straightforward style. It is refreshing compared to channels that are just trying to sell to keep sponsors happy. Unfortunately I am not able to travel right now (also have husband health issues) but still love watching and dreaming of getting back to it some day.

[@SpatchG]

Congratulations! I hope you do come to New Zealand, im sure you'd love it here. Also,thank you for being so normal!

[@edithlamoureux4432]

You are authentic and simple. That's why I enjoy your channel so much. Congrats on your 10 000th suscriber! Happy New Year 🎉

[@mariebrown9415]

Lessons of Life as well as lessons of travel. Thanks why I enjoy your Channel. Congrats and best in 2024

[@lynneeie5226]

Two days late! Goodness... my feed needs to get with the program and put your videos at the TOP!! Yay for staying positive. I have to say, I really admired how you handled things. When my dad was in a car accident with a brain injury, my mom and I took turns kind of crying on each other. Later, we thought it was weird, but one of us was strong and one kind of could let go and that we cycle thru that was sort of funny to us?? Dark humor, but it made us laugh in a hard time. That was years ago, and things are much better. Time helps all things! And so funny re your fears, because I think it is awesome that you dive in. I totally get it. I have issues with my English now, but my Norwegian is not perfect either 😂🤔😳haha! And I love that you are just yourself and that you laugh at yourself a bit... I actually prefer that to someone who is too polished? You are genuine and the too polished feel almost a bit fake? re sponsors.... I think if you are genuine, that would be fine? AND ANOTHER CHANNEL? YAAAAY!!! Everett and you together, awesome!!!! 🎊🎊 Totally vote for that! Ok.... enough of this long comment, just going to listen and enjoy... altho... I miiiight want to make another comment 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂❤ Best, Lynne

[@janehughes581]

Patagonia is very easy to travel around! My husband and I are coming to the end of our Americas trip and Argentina was our favourite. The mountains are so close in Patagonia compared to the rest of the Andes.

[@lynneeie5226]

Wishing you a fantastic year with lots of travel too!! 🎊 And congratulations on so many followers! I think for a lot of us, who travel some of the time and like to travel minimally, your videos inspire for the packing... but it is also very interesting to learn how you manage to do all of this too. If we did not have a family farm, I think we would make different choices. But it is what it is! ❤

[@runnerwd]

Good morning Maggi, Happy New Year! I do enjoy your calm, practical and logical presentations--the honesty comes through as well. And yes, I agree, many KZbinrs/influencers do seem to be over enthusiastic once they have sponsors and I cannot trust their reviews of a product. My best to you and your husband.

[@janefreda7034]

Your style of presenting is perfect! Don't change a thing.

[@janefreda7034]

I think most viewers have no problem with sponsorships when creators really believe in the products they are promoting.

[@cj9667]

Congrats Maggi….love your videos

[@eileenbain5692]

Love to hear about some travel tips for Austria. We are planning a trip to Innsbruck, Salzburg ( Prague, Berlin and Munich) in the Fall and it would be great to hear from a local.

[@MaggiFuchs]

Sounds like a nice trip! Fall is a beautiful season - but the weather could be rather unpredictable… It could be very hot, but also cold, especially at nights. If you just want to visit those cities only, then I would probably take the train (the Austria Railroad ÖBB often has excellent deals on train tickets called „Sparschiene“ to all those cities). I am not the biggest fan of cities - having seen so many, most of the European cities are more or less the same to me. There‘s always the typical tourist hotspots: the church you need to see, and the main shopping street, and the castle… 😅 Of the ones you visit, Innsbruck is my favorite (I have to say that, since I am from Tirol) 😂. The old town is nice, I like to take the gondola lift to the Hafelekar and enjoy the views of the mountains. And the Alpenzoo is a zoo with local animals. And I always enjoy the Tirol Panorama. It’s an impressive 360 degree painting that shows how the tyrolean farmers fought back Napoleon - at the exact spot where it happened. There is a tourist ticket called Innsbruck Card that includes most of the highlights and public transport. Salzburg: Everytime I go I pick up an „original handmade Mozartkugel“ from the inventor at Conditorei Fürst (Getreidegasse). I like the Stiegl-Keller restaurant - it’s a local brewery and the Biergarden has a great view over the city. Outside of Salzburg, I think the oldest salt mine in the world in Hallstadt is fun. Munich: I usually stay away from the tourist hotspots like the Hofbräuhaus, we prefer the Augustinerbräu, which is a little bit more „local“ (but not very much). I also find that the concentration camp Dachau is worth a visit, if you are interested in history. Prague: I only remember that it was waaay to crowded. But I loved the town of Pilsen on the border of Germany / Czech Republic). You can visit the Pilsen brewery (where they invented the Pilsen beer). It‘s the most impressive brewery I have visited so far. Outside of Prague, I also found the Sedlec Ossuary impressive. Berlin: I did not enjoy it very much, except visiting the „Berliner Unterwelten“ - they make tours through the underground areas. We took a tour where they showed the places where people tried to escape from East Germany to the west before the wall came down, that was super interesting to see. And my favorite thing about Austria: In every supermarket, we have those huuuuge displays of fresh hams and sausages and cheese and stuff. When you get hungry, just go there and they slice any sausage or cheese and put it in a fresh bread for you… Just say „Eine Semmel mit [point at what you want], bitte“. It‘s the best - and so cheap. McDonalds had a hard time in Austria… 😂 I hope that helps! There is so much to say… 😂 If you have more questions, let me know.

[@eileenbain5692]

Thank you so much for such rich information. We are leaning toward not booking ahead so that we can have a bit more control of our holiday. Your suggestions for “ not tourist “ restaurants is great. We love to wonder off the tourist track once we have seen the highlights and have found some really lovely restaurants and sites that way. Thanks again, Eileen

Me encanta la filosofía que sigues para tu canal y por supuesto que algo que me encanta a parte de tu honestidad es la paz que transmites Y además tu filosofía de vida y tamb tu pasión por los neceseres de viaje Me encanta !!!!’

[@sherryschumacher1881]

Congratulations, Maggi!

[@ninadaon1077]

I enjoy your quiet enthusiasm in your videos. You don't have to "throw things around" to get attention.😊 And your English is fine. As an English speaker and an ESL teacher, you get my stamp of approval!

[@nikij.6058]

Happy New Year to you! You be you because I enjoy that most! You have a simple way to explain things and live and I admire that. I’d like to be more like you actually. Take care.

[@janh.4479]

The fact that you are so down to earth and calm is why I like watching your channel !!! Please don’t change that!!!

[@hypatiaalexandria7855]

Congratulations on the 10K subscribers :-D Please stay you and keep up what you do in your own way. I love your videos Happy new years and my best wishes to you and your husbond 🙂

[@jackolantern7342]

Maggi, congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers while being down-to-earth and authentic in your videos! You've always given off a good energy and your presentation is just right as it is -no need for pointless cuts, angles, and overly (phony) expressiveness. 2:27 is the most heart-breaking but the same time life-affirming I've heard this year. I wish you both good health, safe, happy travels and all the best times in the new year to come.

[@Lee_Proffit]

2:27 - that is such a positive attitude ❤ Life is for living 🙂

[@P0WSEETr]

Really enjoy watching your videos. Hope you keep growing, but stay grounded always!

[@tangotangoh]

You do you! Love your soothing voice and practical advice.

[@janemaber5420]

Happy New Year. You would find lots to see and do in Australia and we'd love to see you and hubby. Love your style too!

[@SkyJuniper]

Congrats! Appreciate your ideas for minimalist packing. I’m still trying to get to carryon only.

[@Ducayneau]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem weiteren Erfolg, Maggi!
