[@MusicIsMyAeroplane09]

Ok Max's laugh while sledding THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR JOY!! (you both really, but wow what a laugh, you guys rock)

[@Mz23vehrzed]

Yessssss!!!!

[@didiatl]

Awww, I love you guys! Max, take great care of “our” Maya... I am happy you both found each other. We will miss you in the U.S. Maya, but love and the next chapter calls. See you on the fourth episode (lol... that was for Max🤣).❤️

[@jvic1159]

Is anyone else still incredibly giddy at their interaction still? I just love it!

[@TheLifeofKiara]

Omg that slide in Montreal looked like sooo much fun. Montreal looks beautiful! Love how much you guys travel and just live your life .

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Montreal is truly beautiful, despite a lockdown and curfew the city has so much to offer with its scenery, energy and people!!

[@ClaUDiishmoO]

Yesss forever keep that inner child glowing and growing 💕

[@MaxMayaLiving]

SO important! X

[@ADivaForLife]

I love the way he looks at you ❤️❤️❤️😍

[@Dnest10]

That part! It’s sooo beautiful. I also love how she literally glows and smiles when she looks at max

[@alobiennicky7407]

Me also

[@sheisfeliciatherese]

Idk what your friend is going on about saying there’s no West Indian food in Montreal 🤔 From a native Montreal girl, born and raised, I can confirm there’s plenty of different W.I. cuisine! Check out any of the following restos and you will not be disappointed: Seasoned Dreams, Carib Pattie, Tropical Paradise, Greenz, Mango Bay, Lloydie’s, and of course the Caribbean Curry House (which i worked at for a short while!) 🤗

[@alishaxoxos]

Thanks!! I was so nervous to visit Montreal when she said that.

[@SamFournier]

Immigration interviews are so nerve wracking! My husband and I went had our interview for him in the US and all the questions they ask is so intense. Sadly my hubby was denied a green card so we had to move to France. I’m sure Sweden will be so honored to have you! Congrats on your interview❤️

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Sorry to hear that, We feel for both of you I hope you have settled in great in France though. Not a bad place to be either ❤️❤️

[@SamFournier]

@@MaxMayaLiving thank you so much ❤️ So happy to follow your journey!

[@APotToPlantIn]

@SamFournier I’m curious to know, if you’re denied, can you reapply at a later time?

[@Thegirlwithacamerass]

Yes the US green card so hard I just got mines.

[@SamFournier]

@@APotToPlantIn I know that we could appeal but our lawyer told us it would cost thousands of dollars and take years and the possibility of just getting denied again. We waited 3.5 years to know if my husband got approved. It was a really long process.

[@maryconnor6173]

He’s so right winter in England gets greyer and colder 🥶

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Right!!! 😂😂

[@jamminwithmexijam5710]

Oh sure English winter is depressing, I hate winters here because of the grey skies. There is no difference in a day, we wake up in darkness, spent the entire day in darkness and retire to bed in darkness

[@TheLifeofKiara]

Yesss. I literally finished watching the last vlog yesterday and I was hoping you guys would post really soon 🙌🏽 already loving this channel so much

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Thank you for showing up, we have plenty of more videos in the pipeline. Let us also know if there is anything in particular you want to see in the future, always helpful :)

[@CristinaSofia4]

I am 13 years older than my husband to be and (I’m 43 and he’s 30) and I am loving watching you guys as there is not many people who represent in our type of relationship (without the drama and attention seeking) I never watch couple you tubers just you two I just love you’re vibe!! You’re both very like us.. adventurous and life loving! You have a “youthful” relationship it seems and I feel like that’s important for us too to keep it fresh and it helps bridge the age gap which sometimes does present itself.. thanks for sharing your journey with much love to you guys 🙏😍

[@HairofHeritage]

It’s so funny how Max speaks the same way as Maya now... same melody and choice of words. 😃 Håller tummarna för ett ja snart! Välkomna hem!

[@elimo3901]

Oh, hey girl!! Du är så snäll :)

[@humanbeing4368]

As someone with dual citizenship I totally relate to the interview process. I fell in love with Canada after my first taste of Poutine.

[@insearchoftruehappiness9214]

You two are so adorable. So much positive energy, max is lucky to have you Maya.

[@anniacastillo93]

I literally can't stop watching you guys videos. I'm obsessed. Thank you for sharing your life. And I'm so thankful I came across your page. As I recently watched Mayas calibration podcast KZbin video with another women last week. Maya you inspire me thank you. And max yes everyone should always explore your inner child. Making me reflect on what's really important !

[@albertacristie99]

excuse me ! no west indian food ! an an you must have missed the Haitian restaurants ! I recommand sisi et paul Edit: ok sorry for my kneejerked reaction!! Im a Haitian Montrealer and that touched a soft spot lol hihi ( west indies are out there: Côtes-des Neiges, Parc, Saint-Michel, Anjou, Montréal-Nord these are the places to find the west indies food) Awesome seeing Montreal through the eyes of visitor, loved that you enjoyed the city! It will welcome you always,

[@honeybdream]

Lasalle has WI restaurants too ❣️😉

[@carlarreed]

Montreal is also beautiful in the summer. Such a beautiful city with sooo many festivals. I loved it there too 😍

[@beingmissflo5480]

Maya's face while detangeling Max's hair 😆 😆 😆. Serious business was happening.

[@BellePoetesss]

I smiled this whole video. Been subscribed since the start of this new channel and just now bingeing. Love y'all. 😊

[@BUhoney07]

Loved this. Everything looked so fun. So happy for you two!

[@s.m6605]

I pray you guys get your approval soon 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@tinalee468]

[@Ccgemini]

Montreal is a beautiful city, I can’t wait to visit again. Happy Valentines Day you two are so warm and cozy in love so beautiful watch your videos

[@amandamcguire4771]

Great video!! I love you two as a couple you can tell the love is genuine💜

[@ItsJaimeLynnnn]

Thank God you guys made it safe in that snow storm. I live in Cleveland and this past winter was just like that. It’s so nerve wracking because it really is dangerous and you have no control. Just faith and hope to get to your destination

[@MissJhane]

You guys embraced Montreal and were blessed because it was the FIRST time the weather hasn't been in it's usual much colder weather especially in January and February. Congrats on the Interview!!! But wait, where's Jackie??? Hopefully your friend can read this bu Montreal is FUULLLL of West Indian Food, either West Island like Cote-des-Neiges, Plamondon to Lasalle, or Downtown at TimeOut Montreal, even on East Side, people in Montreal refer mostly to Caribbean Food, She will have MAAAD OPTION!! That was a long comment but I am so happy you got to enjoy Montreal, I do to after 10 years in New York. Can't wait to see what s next!!!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

I'll have to let her know there's west indian food! I have been to Montreal and was actually shocked at how much warmer it was this winter, cause the last time I went I freaked out over how extremely cold it can get! - Maya

[@candylove49]

This was so cute! Love the slide part. Be safe in your travels💕. It’s important to keep child-like wonder

[@bisouselle]

I’m loving this so much.

[@thebantugirl]

The haircut scene was my fav!!! ❤️😂

[@shelovesthemso6252]

I am a new subbie. I freakin’ loved this video! The editing was amazing. Can’t wait for the next video.

[@hanaah1111]

I love the bright bold coloured winter coats, just like ur personality. 8:55 Max laughing got me laughing 😆 👍keep the child w/in u!

[@blessedwithcolour]

"chasing the UK dream" I want to know more about your stories!! Great Vlog.

[@susanl8592]

Keep these vlogs coming!!! 🙏 The snow looks beautiful but in Toronto today its -21 🥶

[@________1516]

Montreal is beautiful! Thank y’all for sharing!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

We LOVED it!

[@MrsBuitenbeentje]

I’m was smiling the entire video. I love that you refer to Sweden as home for both you end Max. The editing awesome! Stay save and blessed.

[@jhnell9415]

As someone currently living in London, Max is 100% right. It just gets wetter and grayer. I can't wait to experience a winter where my inner child can run free like you guys did. Also, like Max supermarket's are my religion. Whenever I go to a foreign country I need to visit a supermarket and just browse. Sending you good vibes for March

[@ambrosia417]

This makes me miss Montreal! Spent high school in Quebec.

[@ambrosia417]

Love, love, love this! Sending all the good vibes for a good interview result!

[@mbranche4234]

The Friend Zone sweatshirt!!! Love that podcast (Hey Fran, Assante and Justin !). Max, your laugh while sledding was everything! Sending up prayers for a speedy citizenship approval and safe return to Sweden. Where is Jackie? I laughed so hard at her "Jac-attack " on that chicken in your last video.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Jackie was left in Toronto with mama living her best life away from the snow 😂

[@oliden4977]

Montreal is awesome. We’ve been there for vacation and my kids loved it. We look forward to going back soon.

[@CC-in4xr]

Max you're a man after my own heart. I love a grocery store especially in another country. 😀

[@MaxMayaLiving]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheDomoniqueharris]

The Friend Zone episodes that you were a guest on; are downloaded to my phone. Every few months I revisit them with a new brain and learn something new.

[@moya211]

Enjoyed watching this video Max&Maya.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@thatswhyimraisingmyvoice3537]

Love this video! Can you both make a video where max talks about his background in videography and the gear he uses and would recommend? 💗

[@carinawallengren980]

The whole Sweden has ben like a winterwonderland for a while now. Not just the northern part. People are skating on lakes, skiing everywhere and everyone is out enjoying this white crispy weather. I really enjoy our journey: I hope you can return to Sweden soon. You are so so welcome back ❤️🇸🇪

[@chloe-melaniemedy5347]

Ouhhh my hometown, Montreal. Feels so nice to see it as I'm now living in New Zeland. Hope you enjoyed it! Good look on residency, it ain't easy!

[@auag19]

I relate so much to what you guys said at the end. I grew up in Aruba, and came to the Netherlands to chase the Dutch dream. Also, we've had lotsss of snow the past few days and I finally got to stand on the frozen pond near my house. I've been here for almost 10 years and I've always hated winter, even got winter blues. But after experiencing a proper winter and seeing how happy everyone was I'm so ready to make a winter snow trip now ❄️⛷️

[@hazell1593]

Montreal is a vibe!!! If I could speak French I would move there from London Ont. Good luck to you guys! I hope you get to go home soon

[@ribbitquack]

That laughter coming down the slide :-)

[@ChefTWil]

This was a fun vlog !!! I’m hoping for your March “YES” !

[@deebwoy9291]

Maya you have this Beautiful Pregnancy Glow to you... MMmmmmm! Am i being presumptuous? either way its Beautiful! All the best for end of March!

[@LiyeahA]

You guys are perfect seriously!! CANT WAIT FOR MORE CONTENT! from Toronto :)

[@zan752000]

Wow, now I want to go explore Montreal.

[@honeybdream]

It’s such a fun city‼️

[@Deeyarah]

Can't help but smile throughout this. You're both such wonderful people and so happy you've found each other. March! March! March!

[@lisajenkins7692]

my favorite thing about montreal was baked chicken. EVERYWHERE.... And everything was crazy neat and clean.

[@elimo3901]

Yay!! Second video... apart from the intro vid :) Montreal is beautiful, would love to go visit again. The tobogganing looks like soooooo much fun! Wish we had more snow here in Denmark. I mean you can't cut Max' hair and not show us the After-pic, comeon. Your hair is gorgeous Maya, and I wish you all the best with your Swedish immigration. We need a cuppa Shameless here in lil' ol' windy Scandinavia.

[@alexacranford6876]

Literally ugh I love you guys 😩❤️❤️ Max is doing sooo great in front of the camera!!! So happy for you both ❤️❤️

[@riannatripp6594]

New subscriber, love Ottawa and Montreal. I Have family in Ottawa and we visited Montreal whilst we were there when we visited my sister and husband in Toronto. Good luck with the interview. I agree with your comments re England, but recently we did get a blanket of snow which didn’t last

[@heytheycallmeconnie]

Living for this! You both are so motivating and I love watching this journey ❤️

[@aliveandconnected]

I love the balance between you two. 💕

[@bryvmode]

Loving your channel. Such an exciting time. I love seeing people live their lives according to their own rules. Had to pause the vlog to say this house in Montreal reminded me a lot of your home in LA...I think you were in LA. Congrats, be safe and continue to live and love life and each other. Now back to the vlog.

[@VeronicaaaBrown]

Here for thissss. I love the adventuressss and how active you guys are!!!!! I couldn’t stop smilingggggg. It’s contagious!!!!!!

[@BLACKCHEROKEE23]

I’m like Max & Maya. I have my list of things to get in the store but I can be in there for hrs b/c I’m inquisitive & like to try different things & just taking in my surroundings ☺️

[@autumncolors1673]

Y'all have such great energy. I swear. It lifts me up.

[@TheOnly_KC]

I'm happy for all the positive about Montreal 🥰

[@gookcooking]

Gosh, you speaking about the weather in the Uk, 100% agree, the winter here is so crap.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

I occasionally got snow when I visited family in Scotland, but so rare 😭😭

[@MzBlades]

Hey Max & Maya tell Diana to go to Cote des Neiges or Lasalle (the burbs) to find West Indian food. There's plenty in Montreal :)

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Noted! Well let her know thanks 🙌🏾🙌🏼

[@NunyaHarmonee]

Yes... That's what I was thinking about! 🤗

[@loqu]

Did my interview at the Swedish Embassy on a Friday in Jan. ‘04 in DC after being here on a visitor’s visa. I bought a open ended two way ticket thinking I would be stuck for up to six months. Flew to LA from NYC that Sunday and my visa arrived in NYC on Monday. Came back about a month later but since about 2015 the process has been way worse. Good luck on you all’s visa and get in some of the North American and Canadian fb groups if you haven’t since you’ll get a crap ton of info there plus be able to see how long it takes. Montreal is now on my list of places to visit thanks to this video.

[@doreennjiro9633]

Wow! That was a quick response. Was this a visit visa you applied for or was it a residency permit?

[@loqu]

@@doreennjiro9633 temporary residency permit. Got my permanent two years later.

[@She-travels]

Ahhhhh I'm so happy I literally stumbled upon your video and I'm wishing you both all the best in your endeavors!! Sidenote, fantabulous place in Montreal!! :) Haven't been to Montreal in years and I need to remedy that. Where I live in Collingwood, it is a very active lifestyle out here in this ski town. CWood residents to mask up and are very active. Tons of trails and lots to do.

[@QueXLcior]

Sushi and West Indian food sounds like heaven! Canada sounds awesome! The American dream is total BS 👎🏾 Sledding looks so fun! I’m inspired by all the Good happy moments you share with us! Montreal is gorgeous wow beautiful I wonder if you can get some mulled wine or delicious hot chocolate on a beautiful snowy day how perfect. Good luck with your interview! I’m sure you got it.

[@estheriijeanlouis8688]

for your friend : who just got to montreal mango bay is west indien , i forgot other one on decarie close to Isabella . few different Haitian place also as some english people consider them west indien also.

The best 16 mins ever!! Love love you guys💕 wishing you all best with your Swedish application!

It is very cool to see a woman having fun doing commitment type things. I’m sure it was all so exciting for you. I would have been nervous and scared of getting rejected. And look at that place in Montreal!

[@nonchalantwoman]

This video put a smile on my face. I enjoyed watching you play in the snow!!!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Glad we got to put a smile on your way, and keep doing so moving forward :D

Montreal looks so beautiful! It's on my list of places to visit. I enjoyed seeing the footage you filmed while you were there. It looks like a dreamland. And I couldn't help but laugh while Max was on that sled. He seems like he was experiencing pure joy. And I don't blame him. That looked like it was so fun. I hope you hear back about your interview very soon. And that it's nothing but good news.

Love watching your journey! Montreal is so beautiful! Where was that place you guys were sledding? Reminds me of a place I visited there called Plains of Abraham and went snowshoeing. Praying you get good news from your immigration interview. I know that can be stressful.

Plaines d'Abraham is not in Montreal ; its actually in Quebec city
