I moved here on November 2nd, and I am loving this beautiful city. I have a beautiful apartment, that includes everything, and a beautiful view of all of Queretaro.

Thanks for watching! It was interesting to look at my life in Querétaro through the lens of my travels 🤓 If I were to compare Querétaro to other places to live in Mexico, which cities would you like to see? How about a video comparing Mexico & Spain??

Hey Alex, great video! Really enjoyed your perspective on the Queretaro public transportation situation and relative affordability of Uber. I'm probably like you -- I like to take transit as much as possible when I visit a city, but when I was in Queretaro in October, it was just all walking and a little Uber. But man, if they'd had a CDMX-style MetroBus that went out to Juriquilla/Antea Mall, I'd definitely have taken it! Also couldn't agree more about the friendliness factor. Even among the places I've been in Mexico, Queretaro is absurdly friendly. I mean practically EVERYONE greets you with a buenos dias/tardes/noches when you pass them on the street. It's crazy.

we dont have that many international food in Qro because the mexican gastronomy is so rich and with a huge variarity..

Very Cute about the pillows. Good content. Like anywhere in the world, there are always pros and cons. The main thing is to live somewhere where the pros out way the cons. As always, your content is always interesting, fun and accurate. Thank you for keeping us informed.

Hahaha....totally right in all you wrote!! I'm a TOUR GUIDE in Querétaro, and I've heard all types of differences through the years....Berlin has as many people from all over the world and its food is gourgous, as well as bread, you're right, and we don't have different types of food because people don't go...and they break down. Call me for a tour! For sure there is a lot you have still missed!

Welcome back to this side of the pond. I like Europe. But there are things that I don't get like the German pillows or the cold and hot faucets in the UK's old bathroom sinks. I hate them. Also the European hotel rooms are so tiny, plain and expensive. About the bread, I think that Germans' staple food is the bread which is based on wheat. Mexico's staple food is the tortilla, which based in corn. so I would not compare breads. Mexican bread is not the staple food in Mexico. I think that it's natural that Germans excel in bread quality and flavor as it's also natural for Mexicans to excel at making tortillas (Corn or flour) or who doesn't love a handmade tortilla? But you're right you find good bread in Europe. The French are also excellent at making bread both sweet and plain but Germans excel at plain bread.

speaking of public parks, have you been to Parque Alfalfares and Parque Bicentenario?

I used my (folding) bicycle in Queretaro to get around (but I´m from Holland)

Do you have any insight into a good place to start finding medical coverage for pre-existing conditions? I'm hoping to move from Los Angeles to SMA or Querataro and have a lupus-like disease (found the right specialists in Querataro). But I need to make sure that I have some insurance coverage for it. Any pointers on where to look? I'm finding it confusing. Thanks!

I have been enjoying your episodes since finding your channel. I am considering moving to Mexico from the US. I was wondering if you take out health insurance or if it is that cheap you can do without it. Would live a video on that looking at both healthy individuals or couples who may conceive while in country

I just found your channel and especially this video and it's so interesting, I live here in Queretaro and it's very interesting to know the perspective of someone from another country :D

Dang Alex the pan dulce was a low blow 🥲 now you’ll have to make a video of the best pan dulce places in Querétaro to make up for it 😜

I would love to watch more videos about Queretaro

I literally laughed out loud at the pillow situation. 🤣 Anyway, thanks for the candid info on Querétaro. I plan to move there in January, as I'd done a scouting trip earlier this year. The limited availability of tree lined parks was one of my cons as well, because I hope to be outdoors more and I won't be getting a car so I need to be somewhere walkable.

Thank you for encouraging question. What companies are great for Americans to work for in Queretaro Remotely with basic customer service experience? Which apartment complexes and rental companies have: furnished utilities wifi all included and rent to Americans And allow large dogs? I have been searching on Airbnb and not many places have AC or heat; is the climate not hot or cold enough for central air? What are the names of towns next to but very similar to Queretaro? What is your average day, weekend look like? Do you shop at the big box stores for groceries or the open markets? I used to live in a very small town in Guanajuato and we frequently went to Apaseo el Alto and Celya but that was nearly 30 years ago. What other towns in the area do you feel would be a great for a remotely working American? Thank you in advance!

Numbeo, expatistan, etc shows QRO is easily in top ten, more like top 3 lowest cost decent sized cities. Fantastic prices considering how amazingly better QRO is than most (all?) Other mxn cities.

Oh and thank you for another great and informative video!

I love how you say Vietnamese

Hey Laura...thanks for all your good work. Curious if your views have changed at all since you made this video. I know you moved away, but thought maybe you would be aware of any changes that have happened in QRO since you made this vid.

I agree about the friendliness of the people Of. All cities visited in 2 months

Thank you for the great info. You mentioned it’s sunny all year, but what is the hottest part of the year (in Queretaro) and how hot does it get? Are there ever any overcast days?

We will be moving there in 12-18 months to retire. We have a short list of 6 cities we think we may love, but will start in Queretaro because our daughter has a house there that sits empty and we have 4 senior dogs we will drive down from the Carolinas. We’ll have 2 years until I’m old enough to get social security, but being able to use our daughters house will take some out of pocket expense away until then. , then we hope to go live in the other 5 cities for a few months each…and check out Antigua and Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Counting down the days !!!

Pillow rant 🤣🤣🤣... hilarious. Thanks for the tips and pros/cons of EU v México. Personally, I prefer Mexican 'pan' for its variety and flavor. German pastries seem to be on the heavy side, none the less delicious. Not forgetting that pan has its origins from Europe, BTW... we just improved it (jk) 😄😄

We're here in Querétaro exploring the area this week and enjoying our stay. We're checking out what it has to offer.

You really do a wonderful job on these videos! Very professional and polished.

I think the bread in Mexico is better, and more variety!!!

I was living in Uruguay: Montevideo 40 years, 2 months few years ago in Valencia and Alicante and I am resident of Arizona US . I went to Queretaro Teo times : the first in a beautiful hotel that not have keys for the box security stolen my very nice jeweleries ( so upset ) . I broke my foot because the side walk are so so small so you need walk beside people , cars , 😢. In my second trip because my husband love Queretaro : We we’re intoxicated December 2022 with the food , outside of town in a special restaurant viñard . It was so terrible but more terrible will be go to the hospital because I read that the food in one hospital had gusanos . Believe for spends some days it is ok . But live . Recomend me please a great area because probably Central or historic turística it is not the more cool . Sinceramente . 😢

Enjoyed the video. I lived 2 years in Germany and now Guadalajara and I agree with your assessment. The beads in Mexico is lacking and Germany has the best bread I've ever had. The people are no comparison. Germans in general are cold and Mexicans are warmhearted people. Mexico is great!

La diferencia con un país desarrollado y otro no es que los ricos usan el transporte público o las bicicletas en México no. En Alemania los bosques están infestados de garrapatas un piquete puede ser mortal. Los Bier Gartens son sólo para turistas son extremadamente caros (aún para los locales) comida de mala calidad bancas incomodas y muy mal servicio. Los meseros en Europa reciben sueldo fijo por eso no son amables. El pan Alemán es el mejor. Difícil acostumbrarse a los domingos de EU y Europa😯comparando con Mx

Nice information. We will be visiting Queretaro late January and we wanted to visit and stay somewhere close to mountains or forest, can you recommend a place nearby? Thank you.

Alex y Taylor.. Mis mejores deseos para ustedes. Me encantan sus videos y totalmente apoyo su canal. GRACIAS por amar México. 💓

I guess Santiago de Querétaro is better with less pollution since it's a smaller city compared to Guadalajara, Monterrey, and of course Mexico City. Maybe safer too? Also, about 3 to 4 hours from Mexico city's international airport if you need to get to other countries. Fun fact: There were more illegal Americans living in Mexico than illegal Mexicans in America. In the 1800s thousands of Americans moved to Northern Mexico: California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas. They overstayed, and later declared independence later joining the States.

A video interviewing Mexicans that visited Germany and vice versa would be cool. See what they like about the other, etc.

You lost me at the pan dulce … 🤦🏻‍♀️… haven’t had the German pretzels but you can’t dip it in the cafesito 🤷🏻‍♀️. I have seen a few other videos that they also mentioned the food in Querétaro… may reconsider living by there. I love variety 🤔😄

Beautiful..!!

Alex you should check out Bariloche, Argentina for a German town in Argentina. Also Blumenau, Brazil has a strong German heritage.✌️

Madre mia , que bonita ... me gusta

I missed you Alex !!

Hi Alex how are you today ?

Nice vilog friend

❤❤❤ bienvenida a casa!

VietNamese - not Vietmanes - otherwise great info

PLEASE BE ALERT against EVIL, no matter where you live. THE DEVIL is EVERYWHERE, TRUST ONLY GODT

cute

We are having a difficult time finding a place to rent in Queretaro. I'm sure they are hard-working Realtors out there but we seem to come across the unmotivated.

Laughing because I thought Lingo Pie was prounced like the word for "foot" in Spanish. Too much cross translation going on here.

another con: the foul-smelling open sewers in the snobster, coffee-shop-and-bistro Alamos neighborhood in Querétaro... yes, the one with the fountain in the center of the street, and the Parroquia de la Immaculada Concepción de María. if you look down into them, you can see clothes hanging, wall decorations and other trappings of 'domestic' life. you can smell it for blocks, and sometimes miles, if the wind is just right.

Do they have any other food other than Mexican food worth eating?

Not agree with the bread point 😁

Vietmanese?????

VietManese food! lol
