Moving is traumatic, even if one is only moving across the street! Maddie, you seem to be taking it all in the best of stride. Kudos! Man, those toll booths are numerous! Good for you both for surviving them, let alone everything else ...
Yes, please do give us a tour of all the apartments you looked at so that we can follow on your house hunting journeys along with you. I am so impressed with who you get to help you move, and tour possible units, etc. Question for you if it is not too personal, please: What time of day do you get up to do all that you do? What time did you get up on moving day, please? Asking for a reason -- Everyone in my building is being relocated to building all around the city where I live so that the building I am living in now can be torn down and renovated. We will be living in the temporary housing for up to one year, yikes! We will move out totally and then move back into the newly renovated building, too.
@@SuiGenerisAbbie Thank you for the compliments, I appreciate it! To answer your question, I woke up at 8am on move-out day. With the 5-hour drive and contract signing process included, it took about 16 hours from start to finish. Good luck with your temporary relocation...hope everything goes as smoothly as it can!
Maddie: You look so awesome and healthy and we are now in Jocotopec but seeking places to land more permanently! Looking forward to your reports on your current spot!
Oh Maddie, you never cease to amaze me with your mental and physical strength, but making this move with the necessary stamina as a single, young woman to do it in this way. Your real estate agent was exceptional, choosing a driver/companion for the help was the most amazing impressive choice, because “women are still taken advantage of” all over the world. You are brilliant. You will always become more so, even with mistakes, because life is a learning process experience. I admire you more than you will ever know. You are such an inspiration for independent women. I pray for you always.
I want to thank all the international people leaving in Mexico for showing that there’s so much more to Mexico 🇲🇽 then what the news tells you. Thank you so much 💓
@@holmes592 people in need. People that do not know how is like living in a prison.. You know why people are migrating to the u.s. is not because is the greatest.. that was long gone 20 something years ago. People migrate because it was the u.s that kicked them out of their countr to begin with. . When the u.s goes to a country and steals everything. Their people need to come to the u.s. simple as that. You invade my country. I will go and live on yours. 😂 😂
@@MaddieGold Great video about the moving process, tolls, contracts, & good times with your kind friend Jesus! 🏆😊 I hope You enjoy your new apt & life- 🇲🇽
Congratulations! You have moved forward with grace and maturity. You remind me of my daughter. You could have been bitter and snarky but you advocated for yourself and you got through those tough days brilliantly! Relax and enjoy being back where you feel at home! Hugs! Thanks Jesus for your kindness!
I began watching your channel several years ago and have been so inspired by your journey that six months ago, my husband and I immigrated from the US to Chihuahua. There were both amazing things and some challenging aspects, but we are nearly past the paperwork stage and on the citizenship (for him) and residency (for me). So glad you moved back to the city you loved and like many others on this thread - we are rooting for Jesus😊
I’m a US citizen, me and kiddos moved to Mexico in 2018, we love it, they prefer the schools here, bc of everything going on in the states. Better life here for our family. We’ve been able to build a home, and enjoy life stress free.
@@gregm.mcmillan2371 they are in private, and i have nieces in the same grades as my two daughters, and my girls are far more advanced than the Us. My 6th grader is learning chemistry and algebra. But depends on where in Mexico depends on the education
@@fortunecookiee2566 depends on what career and where in Mexico. Also depends on what status you would have here, My daughter is getting ready for college, and she has been told to go to college here and transfer if she wanted to the US. Why you think so many doctors are foreigners, bc college is cheaper in home country and transfer to the US. But that’s something wonderful to look into
@@gregm.mcmillan2371 FYI, not all private schools here is religion run like in the States, it’s like public but better education without the religion, you do have some religious private schools, but theirs is not, we just pay for better quality education. Kids get better education in private schools versus public here only bc teachers in public don’t get paid well, so they don’t care
I appreciate the honesty of your videos. While it is sad what goes on with animals everywhere, i I appreciate that you don’t sugar coat everything. It helps to know the reality of things. I find your videos so informative in addition to being very entertaining. I really think your videos get better each time. You seem more in your own power each time. Bravo for your moxie!
So excited for you, Maddie! I've been following you for quite a while now and I just love your spirit. You seem so happy these days and it warms my heart. I look forward to more of your excellent content in your newest home.
@@MaddieGold It shows and have to say, Jesus seems like a very sweet guy, what a friend, I thought I recognized him from the EDC videos. I'm glad you decided to move back to a place you love so you can enjoy your friends too. The apt look very quaint and cozy! I was excited to hear you are going to do lives!! Cheers Maddie!
@@MaddieGold I'm glad. You do seem much happier than you were the last time I saw a video from you. You seem to have gotten a lot more comfortable making videos on your own, too. You seem to have matured and grown a lot in the past year, since what's-his-face. I know it was difficult at first, but I think the change seems to have done you good. I'm glad you're back in Queretaro, too, since I know how much you loved it. Sometimes a physical change of location after a difficult breakup can really help for a while, but at the end of the day, we make every place our own and have to be where we are happiest. Jesus seems very nice, too - and he sure isn't hard on the eyes.
Congratulations on scoring an amazing new apartment! I like the furnishings in the background, BTW. Jesus - WOW what an incredible friend he has been for you during the move! I like his personality and hope he agrees to be in future videos with you. So glad you filmed all the tolls and how crazy close together they were! I knew there were tolls, but not like this! Have a BEAUTIFUL weekend with friends.
Thank you! And yes, I feel so fortunate and blessed to have such a good friend like Jesus. It truly made this whole experience fun instead of intimidating/stressful. I'll have to see if he's interested in making cameos in future videos. Although now that I think of it, he already has in the EDC one haha. P.S. The average road trip in Mexico doesn't usually have THIS many tolls. Idk if Google Maps thought we got Mario Kart bonuses for hitting as many tolls as possible or if there are legitimately this many between these two cities. Either way, OOF!
@@MaddieGold I had thought you said in the beginning that you were going to Guanajuato, so knowing it was actually Queretaro made the toll expense and frequency seem a whole lot more reasonable. Congratulations on the new apartment, and actually, for the one you just moved out of too, since I'm clearly way behind in watching your channel and didn't even know you were in Ajijic until I saw this episode.
Guapísimo Jesús lo imagino con una chica muy femenina y atractiva se lo merece a de tener muchas guapas tras el . Maddie no es su tipo ella es más ahombrada.
Although you seem very happy living the single life, I doubt that I’m not the only MaddieGold fan excited that one of these handsome friends of yours is introduced as your novio 😊 Congrats on the move to Querétaro and I love the tips you shared about documenting the rental vehicle and apartment process!
I haven’t been on social media for a long time because of the negativity, but I’ve enjoyed watching your videos for many years. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Oh Maddie…I’m so happy for you and the excitement in your voice is amazing. Welcome back home to the friends you once left and the new adventures that are ahead🙌🏽❤️
Yahhhh 🎉 congratulations on the new place! You are such a huge inspiration to me for not only traveling/living in a foreign country, but as a strong woman as a whole ❤.
I'm happy to watch these videos again since I had the accident at the bowling alley. It's been over a month in recovery. It's nice to get away and watch something fun and I really appreciate the new videos. I wish I was there. I wish you the best.
Oh My Gosh! Yes, yes, yes..I was so hoping you were moving back here! Hubby and I moved here from SMA in October last year and love it. I’ve been following you for a loooong time now..from TT to MaddieGold. My wish is to run into you sometime soon. Hubby and I miss our granddaughters so much and you remind me of them, especially our Teigan. If you need grandparents fix..we are available Maddie. Big hug and welcome back. ❤
Thanks for not spoiling the surprise 😉 I'm sure we'll cross paths sometimes....Mexico has a habit of being very big but VERY small at the same time ((abrazos!))
Jesus is such a professional. I'm so glad the moving experience was a positive one for you. You brought up a lot of good points example taking a photo of the gas gage, signing every page of the lease etc. You are a good businesswoman, Maddie! Enjoy your city! Can't wait to see the Oaxaca video soon.
I've been watching your vids for several years, Maddie y noté que tu cmprensión y fluidez en español ahora son excelentes. Yo tambien fui a vivir a Mexico de joven y llegué a cierta fluidez tambien. Felicidades.🎉 I'm 72 now and realize that I've been speaking Spanish for 50 years!! 😮
Jesus. Yum. I lived in Mexico from 2004-2006. I’ve been vegetarian since then because my U.S. “living in my little bubble” eyes where opened to animals being grown just for consumption. It certainly wasn’t any different than the US, but seeing it up close and personal can be eye opening for some people. Great video Maddie. Apartment video please!
Awesome Maddie! I have been following you for a while and I am so encouraged by your positive attitude and outlook on life! Thank you for reminding me to always look on the bright side of things....no matter what! Blessings!
WoW, just came across your video here. Haven't seen any of your vids in a long time. Year or more, who knows. You 2 look great. Congrats on your move to Mexico. I use to see a lot of your videos.
Yay Maddie!! So proud of you for your growth...your strength...and your willingness to just take the bull by the horns and run with it! Great video...as always!❤
Congrats girl 🎉 Your friend was absolutely fantastic to step up to help. You are absolutely looking sooo relaxed girl. When we moved to Puerto Vallarta our agent was fantastic too🤩like you I can’t stress how Important it is to have a agent you can trust. Here we gave copies of our residency,passport and the owner took us to change the CFE into our name, our agent help with internet. After two years we had issues with damage but our video confirmed it existed on move in and we actually left them with full gas which was empty when we move in by day 3 and CFE was in Dac rate but not when we left so we got back our damage deposit because of our agent but the owners were amazing to work with 🤩 I can’t wait to see your future vlogs 🤩🤩🤩Thanks again for sharing your time with us 🤩🤩🤩
Maddie great video and fantastic negotiation skills. It sounds like you did an excellent job saving money and protecting yourself. You blew me away with the 30 grace period about the repairs. I would have never thought about that. Keep up the great job. Stay happy, safe and healthy.
Heck, yeah, I want to see the apartment hunt in Guanajuato. And Jesus? As someone mentioned already: yum. Good to see you so well accompanied. Keep on keeping on, Maddie.
This was great Maddie!! And Jesus isn't bad at all...wink, wink!! :-) I love the detail you went into regarding your move. And, yes, please make another video about the other homes for rent. Gracias!! Congrats on your new home!!
Great video Maddie! SO happy to see you in your happy place again! Um...Jesus, hope he's more than a friend. Also...Oaxaca City (and the whole valley) is my favourite place in Mexico, so I will be sure to tune in to that one! All best!!
I always appreciate seeing how it is driving on the toll roads and doing stuff like renting vehicles. Glad everything was so straightforward for you Maddie!
We do like traveling in Mexico. The detailed information you do provide is so appreciated and essential to most travelers. Hope to see you reaching 1 Million subscribers 'cause you deserved.
Maddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back. I really hope to meet you and have a drink with you. I am meeting some expats today @ 3:00 pm @ La Cerveceria in Hercules. It is a pretty big group by now. If you wanna stop by and join us for a while, that would be awesome. Hope to see you around. Home is where the heart is. Isn't it? This city is much nicer with you in it. Un abrazo grande Maddie.
Congratulations for coming full circle on your choice of places to live. I don't blame you for moving back to the town you fell in love with two years ago. You deserve to be happy!
I’m glad your move went so smoothly. What a good friend Jesus is to help you out. Easy on the eyes too! Wouldn’t complain if he were to appear in future videos. Just sayin’. 😉 PS Would love to see apartment hunting videos.
Maddie, you look so happy and you’ve been very smart spending this last year very methodically researching all your options and deciding what is best for you. You’ve turned a very difficult, life altering change into a thriving future. Congratulations on your new home. 🍃🌷🍃
Ok Maddie (Marigold!), Two things: poor water pressure in MX can be remedied by two suggestions~Buy a new shower head because the old one is full of minerals & corrosion from the water. To keep the new one cleaned out, fill a sturdy baggie (big enough to cover the entire shower head) with the strongest vinegar you can buy. Secure the baggie with elastic bands or a heavy duty garbage tie and let the shower head soak for 24 hrs or as close to that as possible. Pour the vinegar down the drain after shaking a box of baking soda down the drain first & you'll have a freshened drain system in your shower. We live in rural north central TX with lots of minerals in the water & this is a life saver. I taught this method to my niece in Merida & she was amazed how well it worked. You can do this same deal on all the faucets. Secondly, being a Texan & my oldest son farming in "the Rio Grande Valley", we try to keep up with the corruption going on. At present, Guanajuato is considered the most dangerous state in MX right now. I hate to hear that because so many of my former students (I'm retired now) still have families and land in Guanajuato. Some are from Durango & you know how that is...I lived thru a massive search on the Devil's Highway once! Keep your friend Jesus nearby...he's muy guapo! You've got such a gracious & honest personality & you're still blossoming but don't cut your hair... I wish you all the best!
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 Congrats on Being back @ your Second HOME! (After PHX!) I thought the comments would name where you had moved to but I didn't find anything! Then was getting towards end of video and still didn't know and I was like...is she gonna say?! Lol! Regarding the leasing process..OMG, it sounds way more complicated than in The States!! Arent there other options? As you traveled all over Mexico weren't other States Easier? Maybe a video about that?!...haha! Anyway..Congrats again, I know you feel Good... (And you knew that you would 😝!) 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
It's so interesting to hear you talk about these things because I've been on the other side - first renting my house in Mexico to folks monthly, then long term and now short term rentals - and had to learn every single one of these things the hard way lol. Really nice to get the validation though that my learnings were worth it, from the low water pressure affecting water heater, to the experience of people skipping out on paying CFE and getting electricity disconnected (that was a shocker), to the incredibly detailed inventory of the short term rental company I currently go through. Everything you describe makes sense!
Great to see you happy and settled in your new city! Can’t wait to see the places you will go! 🎉. You’ve got a kind friend in Jesus that helped you move!
I envy people like you that can pack up and go to a different country. I came to the US back in 1987 but as a kid with my mom. As an adult not sure I could. Kudos to you. I enjoy your videos. Thank you. And your perfect Spanish is awesome.
Congrats! So happy you chose to move back to Queretaro--I could tell you loved this city so much and I knew you would get past any emotional negatives associated with it. You truly are amazing -- moving as a single woman can be difficult enough in the States, but you handled the whole process in Mexico without a hitch! Can't wait to see more of your new apartment (when you're ready) and will continue to follow the many adventures you'll have in the future.
@@MaryAnnHT @MaryAnn Thyme That happens when you put the symbol - before and after the words. For instance, -this will appear with the strikethrough-
Awhh your friend is so nice.. hopefully we will see more of him! :) These types of videos where you see driving through Mexico must be my favourite because I got the same vibes as the one where you sold your old car and that video was my all time fav. I suppose it just reminds me of my best memories that I had in Mexico where my friends and I went on little road trips and just being excited and awe in seeing the different sights. Just makes me feel so nostalgic~ thank you for another video and I wish you lots of happiness in your new home.
Loved this video! One of your best. Also really like the chemistry with Jesus. I hope he’s one of the friends that lives in your new area so you can spend more time together.😊
Congratulations Maddie! You seem so happy to be back in Queretaro! I love all the details...informative as much as entertaining❤❤❤ I've been watching your videos for 3 years, been spending 1-2 months a year in Mexico...so far visited Guadalajara, Ajijic, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlan. I would love to see a new video about Queretaro- everything you love about it and why. Blessings to you at your new place🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Would love to see you put together an apartment hunting video. Loved it when you looked at houses. Also, very smart to get the help of a realtor AND Jesus. (And yes, he was a lovely addition to your video) You are a smart and resilient young lady, and I thoroughly have enjoyed your trek into Mexico before AND after the breakup. So happy you are back to a city you love. You have grown so much, and can’t wait to see where you go from here!
So happy for you Maddie! You seem to be the happiest I have ever seen you, I’ve been following you since the old channel. Best wishes in your new place. Please make a video on your apartment hunting, I love when you do videos like that.
So happy for you living in a city you love and feel comfortable in! And where you have friends! The apartment looks really nice can’t wait for you to show us. Congratulations enjoy your new home!
Looking at the smile put a smile on my face.. thanks for sharing your move!! Will be waiting for the tour, and the high speed internet for those "live chats😉"... enjoy your new place Maddie!!
Congratulations Maddie! It's great to see you so happy. Love what I can see of the new digs. Hope you will do a tour, but understand that you might feel that's too intrusive. As long as you don't show the exterior, so someone could identify exactly where in the city you are, you might feel safer. ❤
OMG…I feel like a big sister watching her little sis make the best decisions for her life. I am super happy and proud you are back in Querétaro. You stated you loved it there so that is where you should be. Hope you live a drama free and happy life. O/T: Jesus is super fine!!! More of him..with you, of course. Lol. xo.
I have been a subscriber since you had Tangerine Travels, I followed you. I would love to see an apartment tour! So happy for you and enjoying watching your channel!
congrats maddie. i’ve been all over mexico the last year and if i had to choose a home base, i keep thinking it’s going to be queretaro. the only thing preventing me from doing it is it’s somewhat harder to get elsewhere in the country easily (long distance, i mean). i do like the buses, but a lot of the plane trips still mean hiking it back to cdmx airport first. else, i’m really considering a spot in queretero too, but really don’t want to go over like 8,000 pesos (if possible). anyway, i’m super stoked for ya.

The only reason the u.s media keeps on showing their viewers phobia against Mexico is because once again. They do not want México to have tourism
Why are so many people migrating to the USA?

Hubby and I moved here from SMA in October last year and love it. I’ve been following you for a loooong time now..from TT to MaddieGold.
My wish is to run into you sometime soon. Hubby and I miss our granddaughters so much and you remind me of them, especially our Teigan. If you need grandparents fix..we are available Maddie. Big hug and welcome back. ❤
Thanks for not spoiling the surprise 😉 I'm sure we'll cross paths sometimes....Mexico has a habit of being very big but VERY small at the same time ((abrazos!))
my wife and i really enjoy your videos. we are so happy your new channel is so successful and you seem so
much happier lately. awesome!
Jesus is such a professional. I'm so glad the moving experience was a positive one for you. You brought up a lot of good points example taking a photo of the gas gage, signing every page of the lease etc. You are a good businesswoman, Maddie! Enjoy your city! Can't wait to see the Oaxaca video soon.
Dang Maddie, nice upgrade! I like Jesus. Your hair looks great btw😊
Maddie, you are radiant! So happy for you 😊
I've been watching your vids for several years, Maddie y noté que tu cmprensión y fluidez en español ahora son excelentes. Yo tambien fui a vivir a Mexico de joven y llegué a cierta fluidez tambien. Felicidades.🎉 I'm 72 now and realize that I've been speaking Spanish for 50 years!! 😮
Jesus. Yum.
I lived in Mexico from 2004-2006. I’ve been vegetarian since then because my U.S. “living in my little bubble” eyes where opened to animals being grown just for consumption.
It certainly wasn’t any different than the US, but seeing it up close and personal can be eye opening for some people.
Great video Maddie.
Apartment video please!
I am so confused. Where did she move to??
@@johnvoltageltd Watch the video from the 24:27 minute mark
@@RetireAbroadInvesting Thank you!!
You are smiling from ear to ear. Happy you’re happy
OMG ! Your Blog is really growing , so happy for you . Your driver is a cutie ❤
To quote Martin Lawrence...YOU GO GIRL....many happy days!
Awesome Maddie! I have been following you for a while and I am so encouraged by your positive attitude and outlook on life! Thank you for reminding me to always look on the bright side of things....no matter what! Blessings!
It’s wonderful to see you so happy and healthy.
Welcome Home Maddie!!!!
You look very happy with life and can’t wait to watch more videos.
Thank you so much Janice!
WoW, just came across your video here. Haven't seen any of your vids in a long time. Year or more, who knows. You 2 look great. Congrats on your move to Mexico. I use to see a lot of your videos.
Yay Maddie!! So proud of you for your growth...your strength...and your willingness to just take the bull by the horns and run with it! Great video...as always!❤
Thank you so much Laurie! I appreciate that 🥰
Yes!!! I love Queretaro! I visited there for 5 years for work and absolutely loved it and the people. Can't wait to go back!!!
Congrats girl 🎉 Your friend was absolutely fantastic to step up to help. You are absolutely looking sooo relaxed girl. When we moved to Puerto Vallarta our agent was fantastic too🤩like you I can’t stress how Important it is to have a agent you can trust. Here we gave copies of our residency,passport and the owner took us to change the CFE into our name, our agent help with internet. After two years we had issues with damage but our video confirmed it existed on move in and we actually left them with full gas which was empty when we move in by day 3 and CFE was in Dac rate but not when we left so we got back our damage deposit because of our agent but the owners were amazing to work with 🤩 I can’t wait to see your future vlogs 🤩🤩🤩Thanks again for sharing your time with us 🤩🤩🤩
Maddie great video and fantastic negotiation skills. It sounds like you did an excellent job saving money and protecting yourself. You blew me away with the 30 grace period about the repairs. I would have never thought about that. Keep up the great job. Stay happy, safe and healthy.
GIRL 😮….new man??? He’s gorgeous 💞. Happy travels! Enjoy new home🎉
👌🏽🇲🇽 Latinos be like that
@@Lauranessa1 they really do 🔥haha
@@MaddieGold don’t let that one go. 😏
Heck, yeah, I want to see the apartment hunt in Guanajuato. And Jesus? As someone mentioned already: yum. Good to see you so well accompanied. Keep on keeping on, Maddie.
This was great Maddie!! And Jesus isn't bad at all...wink, wink!! :-) I love the detail you went into regarding your move. And, yes, please make another video about the other homes for rent. Gracias!! Congrats on your new home!!
Thanks so much Jack! I'm inclined to agree with you 😜
Great video Maddie! SO happy to see you in your happy place again! Um...Jesus, hope he's more than a friend. Also...Oaxaca City (and the whole valley) is my favourite place in Mexico, so I will be sure to tune in to that one! All best!!
I always appreciate seeing how it is driving on the toll roads and doing stuff like renting vehicles. Glad everything was so straightforward for you Maddie!
Maddie, that 30-day stipulation for repairs, etc...that was amazingly smart!!
Thanks! I was like hold up…I haven’t even seen the place yet 😅
I’m so happy you’re video life continues Maddy. This looks like a happy move for you.
We do like traveling in Mexico. The detailed information you do provide is so appreciated and essential to most travelers. Hope to see you reaching 1 Million subscribers 'cause you deserved.
Maddie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back. I really hope to meet you and have a drink with you. I am meeting some expats today @ 3:00 pm @ La Cerveceria in Hercules. It is a pretty big group by now. If you wanna stop by and join us for a while, that would be awesome. Hope to see you around. Home is where the heart is. Isn't it? This city is much nicer with you in it. Un abrazo grande Maddie.
Congratulations for coming full circle on your choice of places to live. I don't blame you for moving back to the town you fell in love with two years ago. You deserve to be happy!
Good energy and vibes as always Maddie!
I’m glad your move went so smoothly. What a good friend Jesus is to help you out. Easy on the eyes too! Wouldn’t complain if he were to appear in future videos. Just sayin’. 😉
PS Would love to see apartment hunting videos.
Yes would love to see the apt tour video. Those tolls are crazy!
I could tell that you loved that city and am happy you are calling it home!
Maddie, you look so happy and you’ve been very smart spending this last year very methodically researching all your options and deciding what is best for you. You’ve turned a very difficult, life altering change into a thriving future. Congratulations on your new home. 🍃🌷🍃
Wow, renting an apartment is so much more complicated than in the US. Glad you found a place you love love love!
Deal only with the owners and friends. Better deals for sure.
Ok Maddie (Marigold!), Two things: poor water pressure in MX can be remedied by two suggestions~Buy a new shower head because the old one is full of minerals & corrosion from the water. To keep the new one cleaned out, fill a sturdy baggie (big enough to cover the entire shower head) with the strongest vinegar you can buy. Secure the baggie with elastic bands or a heavy duty garbage tie and let the shower head soak for 24 hrs or as close to that as possible. Pour the vinegar down the drain after shaking a box of baking soda down the drain first & you'll have a freshened drain system in your shower. We live in rural north central TX with lots of minerals in the water & this is a life saver. I taught this method to my niece in Merida & she was amazed how well it worked. You can do this same deal on all the faucets. Secondly, being a Texan & my oldest son farming in "the Rio Grande Valley", we try to keep up with the corruption going on. At present, Guanajuato is considered the most dangerous state in MX right now. I hate to hear that because so many of my former students (I'm retired now) still have families and land in Guanajuato. Some are from Durango & you know how that is...I lived thru a massive search on the Devil's Highway once! Keep your friend Jesus nearby...he's muy guapo! You've got such a gracious & honest personality & you're still blossoming but don't cut your hair... I wish you all the best!
I'm so glad you are back in a place you love! This was such a great video!
Great video, Maddie!
How wonderful to have friends like Jesus in your life.
Happy to hear that you've returned to Querétaro.
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Congrats on Being back @ your Second HOME! (After PHX!)
I thought the comments would name where you had moved to but I didn't find anything! Then was getting towards end of video and still didn't know and I was like...is she gonna say?! Lol!
Regarding the leasing process..OMG, it sounds way more complicated than in The States!! Arent there other options? As you traveled all over Mexico weren't other States Easier? Maybe a video about that?!...haha! Anyway..Congrats again, I know you feel Good... (And you knew that you would 😝!)

It's so interesting to hear you talk about these things because I've been on the other side - first renting my house in Mexico to folks monthly, then long term and now short term rentals - and had to learn every single one of these things the hard way lol. Really nice to get the validation though that my learnings were worth it, from the low water pressure affecting water heater, to the experience of people skipping out on paying CFE and getting electricity disconnected (that was a shocker), to the incredibly detailed inventory of the short term rental company I currently go through. Everything you describe makes sense!
immigrated to the US when i was 14 , now you're making me miss a life in Mexico I never lived, love your videos Maddie, hope the best for you
Thanks so much 🤗
Same here! I came to US when I was 5 months. I wish I could of lived it all
My life just to see how my life would been like🥹
Jesus is so adorable!
facts! hehe
I can't believe all that you had to go through; Jesus is a good friend.
Great to see you happy and settled in your new city! Can’t wait to see the places you will go! 🎉. You’ve got a kind friend in Jesus that helped you move!
I envy people like you that can pack up and go to a different country. I came to the US back in 1987 but as a kid with my mom. As an adult not sure I could. Kudos to you. I enjoy your videos. Thank you. And your perfect Spanish is awesome.
It's you manor as they say in London. Your friends are there, you know the city and you were happy there. Glad you are back in Queretaro.
Congrats! So happy you chose to move back to Queretaro--I could tell you loved this city so much and I knew you would get past any emotional negatives associated with it. You truly are amazing -- moving as a single woman can be difficult enough in the States, but you handled the whole process in Mexico without a hitch! Can't wait to see more of your new apartment (when you're ready) and will continue to follow the many adventures you'll have in the future.
@@gregm.mcmillan2371 I have no idea how the "lines" got there--I didn't put them there and I intended for this sentence to be included.
@@gregm.mcmillan2371 No apology necessary. Enjoy your day.
@@MaryAnnHT @MaryAnn Thyme That happens when you put the symbol - before and after the words. For instance, -this will appear with the strikethrough-
@@MaddieGold Thanks so much for letting me know how this happened. I now know what not to do.
Awhh your friend is so nice.. hopefully we will see more of him! :) These types of videos where you see driving through Mexico must be my favourite because I got the same vibes as the one where you sold your old car and that video was my all time fav. I suppose it just reminds me of my best memories that I had in Mexico where my friends and I went on little road trips and just being excited and awe in seeing the different sights. Just makes me feel so nostalgic~ thank you for another video and I wish you lots of happiness in your new home.
I’m literally so proud of you! So happy your in a great place….keep moving forward! I love your channel. 😀
Loved this video! One of your best. Also really like the chemistry with Jesus. I hope he’s one of the friends that lives in your new area so you can spend more time together.😊
Congratulations Maddie! You seem so happy to be back in Queretaro! I love all the details...informative as much as entertaining❤❤❤ I've been watching your videos for 3 years, been spending 1-2 months a year in Mexico...so far visited Guadalajara, Ajijic, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlan.
I would love to see a new video about Queretaro- everything you love about it and why.
Blessings to you at your new place🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Would love to see you put together an apartment hunting video. Loved it when you looked at houses. Also, very smart to get the help of a realtor AND Jesus. (And yes, he was a lovely addition to your video) You are a smart and resilient young lady, and I thoroughly have enjoyed your trek into Mexico before AND after the breakup. So happy you are back to a city you love. You have grown so much, and can’t wait to see where you go from here!
AWESOME!!! AND SO PROUD OF YOU, MADDIE!!!
💖💖🌞🌻🌞💖💖
Thanks so much Victoria 🤗
So glad you moved back to the city you loved. Your heart is healed and now you can move forward. Take care and enjoy your life.
Congratulations on your move! I guessed right on where you’d be going. I hope you enjoy it there. It looks great.
So happy for you Maddie! You seem to be the happiest I have ever seen you, I’ve been following you since the old channel. Best wishes in your new place. Please make a video on your apartment hunting, I love when you do videos like that.
Manifesting a life like yours!! I love your channel! So inspiring 💗💗
So happy for you living in a city you love and feel comfortable in! And where you have friends! The apartment looks really nice can’t wait for you to show us. Congratulations enjoy your new home!
Looking at the smile put a smile on my face.. thanks for sharing your move!! Will be waiting for the tour, and the high speed internet for those "live chats😉"... enjoy your new place Maddie!!
Had to watch again..😅 and look at all the views!! 😮 🙌🙌
HI HUN GLAD TO SEE U BACK MAKES ME HAPPY
Congratulations Maddie! It's great to see you so happy. Love what I can see of the new digs. Hope you will do a tour, but understand that you might feel that's too intrusive. As long as you don't show the exterior, so someone could identify exactly where in the city you are, you might feel safer. ❤
Thanks! Congratulations on your move!
Holy guacamole Becky! Thank you SO much for the generous "moving gift" 🥰
@@MaddieGold You bring me joy. You’re very welcome.
OMG…I feel like a big sister watching her little sis make the best decisions for her life. I am super happy and proud you are back in Querétaro. You stated you loved it there so that is where you should be. Hope you live a drama free and happy life. O/T: Jesus is super fine!!! More of him..with you, of course. Lol. xo.
Excellent video as always, Maddie! I appreciate how you share details such as prices. I wish you a wonderful new beginning in your new place 🧚♀️✨
Congratulations! So wonderful how everything worked out in your favor! Glad you're back in Q since you love it there!
Your friend is sweet and hella cute. :) Congrats on your move!!!
Can we see Jesus again? You need a house guest from time to time! Easy to look at, nice voice, and smart! Girl!
Very happy for you, Maddie. I'm glad that you're home! 🥰
Yay Maddie, what a great friend to have helped with all of this!
Thanks Vivian! I’m so grateful 🥰
So happy for you! Glad you had a good friend to help! God bless him!
I am so happy to know have moved back to the clean and safe city amongst friends Maddie. Bless you thats fantastic ❤..stay happy.
The true test of a real friend is them helping you move . . .
I agree!
It's nice to see you happy. Its been a long haul for you.
I have been a subscriber since you had Tangerine Travels, I followed you. I would love to see an apartment tour! So happy for you and enjoying watching your channel!
Congratulations on your new place! Great video and hope you include Jesus in future content! You two made a great team!
Hope so I really like him to seems like a great guy
congrats maddie. i’ve been all over mexico the last year and if i had to choose a home base, i keep thinking it’s going to be queretaro. the only thing preventing me from doing it is it’s somewhat harder to get elsewhere in the country easily (long distance, i mean). i do like the buses, but a lot of the plane trips still mean hiking it back to cdmx airport first. else, i’m really considering a spot in queretero too, but really don’t want to go over like 8,000 pesos (if possible). anyway, i’m super stoked for ya.
Maddy don't let Jesus leave he is so handsome and you two will make a great couple lol just saying I am feeling he is for you!
Any bloke who drives a woman with her stuff to her new home fancies her.
