Ajijic has certainly changed a lot since 2018, but I think a lot of the magic that draws people to move here still exists. What do you think of the ✨mesmerizing surprise✨ I saw?? 😍

Ok, so it looks like Everyone agrees, We Love Your Singing......Please, for the love of God, Sing More, Maddie Gold!! It uplifts the frequencies of your followers and the world at large. I know I'm sounding dramatic, but it's true! Love ❤️ to you and everyone on here...

Ajijic is a great place even for younger people. There are great restaurants but there is more to do here than eating. Their are art galleries, theater, hiking trails, thermal spas, meditation groups, massage, boating on the lake, and my wife and I are going dancing tonight at a Resturant that has live Latin/ rock music. Here are just a few things that Ajijic and the surrounding area has to offer.

OMG Maddie your singing voice is that of an angel...such a natural talent!! Your vlogging style is so enjoyable, hope you are able to expand to major streaming platforms and/or a travel tv show. 👏

You are looking healthier emotionally with every video, I’m seeing less and less of the sadness that was like a rain cloud hanging over you! Thankful that you’re doing well! Thankful for the wonderful videos about this beautiful city🙏❤️

Such a nice fun video! You seem brighter & light hearted (even though you weren’t feeling the best after a few rough days) plus more settled & confident. Love seeing Mexico through your eyes!

you don't have to be a certain age to live somewhere as long as you like it and fits your lifestyle .

Omg. You’ve actually convinced me to live there. It’s beautiful, relaxing, you can be yourself, it’s on the water, the temps are amazing year round, great restaurants, it would be an amazing home base that you can travel throughout all of Mexico from and come home to a peaceful paradise. My vote is buy there!

Hi Maddie! Welcome back to Lake Chapala. We've been living here for almost 4 years and yes, there are some old boring people here, but there are also some vibrant, active, interesting people of all ages. There are so many things to do besides eat at restaurants (though that's fun too). Since you speak Spanish so well, you have the advantage of making friends with both native Mexican residents as well as residents from other countries. There are art exhibits, music events (Jazz, Classical, Flamenco, Mariachi, etc), yoga, tiangis, festivals, etc. Hope you decide to make this your home base. PS - that Rainbow had to be a good omen!!

Hey Maddie! I loved every inch of this video! The clouds were AMAZING and you captured so much! How could ANYONE think Lake Chapala is boring?!? When I went there I was mesmerized... I was there with family and friends in a group and at one point, I said, Sorry I will meet you when it's time to leave and I went off on my own adventure! People who are bored have NO imagination... and that most Certainly is not YOU! Also I am so proud of you for taking up and instrument! Your voice is your built in instrument and it is absolutely Lovely!! Keep it going! That last meal was awesome... as I was watching the ingredients going in, I was thinking... "hey I can make that" ! And I shall !!! Gracias for everything you share... Wherever you land there will be Sunshine and beauty... Don't listen for a minute to the Naysayers!

I have lived in La Paz for three years, I love it here, the snorkeling is great because of the way we're situated in a double bay, the waters are calm and you can see tons of fish swimming just swimming from shore. I can't imagine not living on the ocean though.

Never seen a sky like that. The magic of Gods handiwork. Lovely 🥰

Beautiful video. The music, the singing, the murales, the food, the rainbow. All amazing. Keep shining.

I love this style of video! This is the perfect formula: showing us the town, places to eat, a little personal stuff … way to go Maddie. Ajijic is so beautiful and seems peaceful! I agree with you, Mexico has gotten expensive like many other places especially touristy areas. I am currently in Silao a small town in Guanajuato and it’s dirt cheap! No tourists, a little rough and dirty . Nothing much to do but enjoy the authentic side of Mexico so I really love it here! Great video Maddie, you have the most beautiful angelic sweet voice ever 🥰

I admire you for just having a channel and putting yourself out there. I know it has to be difficult sometimes-people can be so unkind and just downright rude. Thank you for all the informative and interesting content!

I LOVE AJIJIC!!!! I am not elderly and I would live there in a heartbeat!!! I think you should get a place there, as it is safe and BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! FILM MORE IN AJIJIC!!!!

Tan sólo el recorrido de murales da para un día completo. Vivo en Ajijic y me encantó tu video

Maddie you are a little Cutie pie! I Love how you are Bold enough to try and master everything!🥰 I am still Praying for you honey 💕 Just remember you ARE LOVED!💜🎉🎉 You have a Beautiful Voice sweet girl. The Lord has His Arms Wrapped around YOU. HE TELLS US IN PSALMS 46 I AM AN IMMEDIATE HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. YOU REMEMBER THAT SWEETHEART 💜 Sorry I didn't mean to CAP this! I am a Dork😂💜

Maddie, I could look at those eyes for ever.......my god, ok i use to travel to jocotepec, for work, i think there in ajijic its soooo nice.

I love that you showed us your progress on the ukulele! That takes a lot of guts! Your voice is so sweet, too! Ajijic seems like a very laid back relaxing place and a wonderful place to vacation or retire. I would be surprised if you settled there, as I perceive that you would thrive somewhere a little busier and more vibrant. On the other hand, maybe a quiet restorative environment might recharge you between travels. I don't know! I love the idea of comparison videos though.

Glad to see another video so soon. You look great. I love strong women. and I think you are very brave. Thank you for sharing your story with us and you will be happy to know that you will help influence other young women . Thanks for being a roll model.

Hey, Maddie! You were never more lovable than when you were singing and playing the ukulele. As for Ajijic being boring nothing could be further from the truth. The culture, festivals, parades, music, so many events like the Balloon festival and many more, every imaginable food choice at the local restaurants, the Malecon, the lake, the island, the hiking in the mountains, the numerous clubs for everything, golfing, proximity to Guadalajara, and, yes, the near perfect weather. The best place I ever lived in my life. Buy that first place in last week's video. Become a Real Estate agent. Be happy. We all love you!

Thank you for the fabulous tume sharing the scarf cloud! I'd never seen or heard of one before & since living in St. Petersburg Florida rainbows are something I truly miss. Now I'll be looking for acarf clouds. ❤️

Hi Maddie. I met you briefly at the Globos festival recently. You looked like you were having fun. No matter where you go, there you are. Fitting quote for this area. Any place is what you make of it and no place will insure your own happiness. Ajijic is "boring" because there are not a lot of young folk activities...I guess. You do have excellent restaurant choices, lots of live music of all kinds, wonderful weather, easy access to an airport, Guadalajara is one hour away, lots of shopping, cinemas showing new films, three live theaters, a casino, four hour drive to a variety of beach towns, lovely weekly markets, lively festivals, strong traditional activities, friendly locals, good library, lots of craft choices, a ukulele club, etc. Granted there are many folks of a certain age enjoying these activities but more "work from home" younger types are also coming down. I have lived in Patzcuaro, San Miguel de Allende, Jocotepec, several towns in Peru, and have been to at least 25 states in Mexico and have not found anyplace that feels more like home than here. I came here to live the first time when I was 19 years old in 1972 and it has changed dramatically...but so has every place on earth. Change is the only constant. Settle in and enjoy. Alan

Hi Maddie! I’ve been following you on KZfaq for a few years. Con respecto a tus talentos musicales "que bonito cantas" y gracias por apreciar y compartir tus experiencias viviendo en México.

This would be the perfect home base for you to have family & friends from the states to come stay - comfortable & safe. Plus, its only a 30-45 minute drive to the Guadalajara airport for all of your traveling adventures outside of Mexico. Buying a home there now could be a great property investment & future retirement (?) in your later years. Not to mention, Costco, Walmart, etc. in Guadalajara.

Wooooooowwwwww that was amazing and sooooo beautiful! Thank you Maddie!

Wow, I never said Cloud is like that with the rainbow colours! Thank you

A beautiful town, definitely a travel destination. The weather is beautiful and the people are welcoming. Happy Travels 🌞🍻

Keep up with the amazing videos!!! Love more videos of this area!

Beautiful Voice!!!! Talented!!!!! 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🌞 🌴💜

Qué bonita voz, felicidades.increibled reportajes😊

Maddie! Excellent editing again! I love how you are able to make me feel like I am right there with you, walking in those beautiful places. Your voice is so unique, that was a big surprise! 😍 Those esquites looked so good! Keep following your heart, that's what's making your content work. 🧡

We lived in Ajijic in 2004-2006. I can’t see videos of there without tearing up over our Brandy and Buddy. Two street dogs that we brought back to Florida with us. They’ve since went over Rainbow Bridge. ❤️❤️

You have a gorgeous voice! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! God bless you!

I especially enjoyed this video. You did a nice mix of things. It is beautiful. For me it would be a lot of walking.

Ajijic looks beautiful! Never been but now I want to visit. You sound great singing. Thanks for sharing progress on the ukelele. A comparison video of different cities would be a nice series as well as occasional updates on your ukelele progress.

Keep up the vlogs, you’re genuinely adorable.

Nice voice! I didn’t believe those cloud rainbow pics until I saw your video! Freaky!

Glad to see you decided to stay on youtube. You are awesome to watch and I would have been disappointed to not get to enjoy more content from you. Just found the new channel after watching your previous videos from your previous channel. Subscribed and liked on the new channel. Happy travels

Ajijic looks like a very safe town with perfect weather year round. Hope you find your happy place soon. Also, you have a great voice :)

I vote Ajijic!!! I think it’s perfect for you!! You will meet some excellent people of all ages there!! I love how happy and lit up you are when you are there

So happy to see you so well and happy and you rock

You have a beautiful voice Maddie!!!! I could listen to you sing for hours!! Looks like a lovely town but I see you in a bit of a more active town.

you go girl!!! Remember...nothing worth learning is easy! AND!! You have a beautiful voice! Don't ever stop!!! It gets way easier!! Please show us more of the city!

Your recent videos have brought me back to what I would call the glory days of the old TT days. Touring places, eating food, and really letting us see what the areas are like. I wish you all the best in growing your new channel. Keep it up.

Dayuuum what a voice...

you have a beautiful voice. I have watched you for a number of years and do not remember you singing before.

I would love to see a video of homes and neighbourhoods in Coyoacan, CDMX. I love the combination of historical architecture with a very artsy, dynamic vibe.

And once again, I loved, loved, loved this video on so many levels. Your humour, your authenticity and natural presence, so unaffected. That mesmerizing rainbow cloud! And wow, those esquites deluxe looked delicious and nutritious!

Another awesome video Mattie !

I love your voice ❤️! Sing more often.

Ajijic is beautiful! Enjoyed the ukulele playing! Lovely singing too! 💫

I love the beautiful paintings on the sides of buildings and other walls.

Girl. Friend. Your voice is sublime!

Okay first of all... how dare you have an amazing singing voice ??? iii mean the vibrato and the lil riffs, you better sing Maddie 😊 love your videos.

Yes, those rainbows are mesmerizing! I saw one about 20 years ago and not before or since, nice siting! Oh wait, maybe it was the bugs, also very cool. Ajijic is awesome, I really wasn’t serious about the retirees on the last one. I know you’ve lived there before, in fact, you’ve seen enough of Mexico to make the best decision for you. Maddie is gold as always!!

I think you are so BRAVE for doing all that you do. I love it and admire you!

Excellent video. Really enjoyed it. Don’t stop singing!!!!!

Gurllllllll you can sing and I thought I've seen everything you 👍

Fun to see your adventures and you have a beautiful voice. This area might be good for you to leave...quiet and safe enough but close enough to venture more loud

I always get jealous seeing the food, looks amazingly delicious! Love the videos! Thank you for taking the time to make them 🥰

Wowww beautiful voice!!!! The uke was great too!!! Love it!!! Thanks for sharing Maddie

Maddie, what a lovely voice you have! Your singing is great to listen to and the ukulele will come along in time. Bravo for learning and developing a new talent! Really enjoy your videos. Cheers!

Love your videos. Mexico is on my emmerlijstje (that's Netherlandish for bucket list) and you keep me in love with the place (even though I've not been there yet). On a different note (musical pun there (really bad one, I admit)), your voice is actually pretty good. Nice to hear a different side of your talents. Kind regards!

Thank you for including shots of the painted walls. Really beautiful and a tribute to local talent.

Wow that scarf rainbow was amazing!!!

You are a natural! I am so glad you have your own channel congratulations

Maddie your voice is amazing, keep working on that Uke would love to hear more. As for were you will settle, I think you maybe should keep all options open at this stage of your life. You are young and I hope you find yourself a lovely travel partner that makes you smile.

I love your voice, Maddie! And that town is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. 🥰

My folks adopted a street dog in Ajijic. Buddy is included in a street art mural not far from the plaza. I met people who’d encountered mom and Buddy walking on the Malecon. They didn’t always recognize mom, but they always knew Buddy. Ajijic has changed a lot over the years. I still miss it.

Great video. You have a beautiful voice!

This video made me smile! Wow you're singing voice is beautiful! It's such a lovely place.

Great video!! Well edited and great voice. Thank you for being brave to share.

those street murals! how delightful.😍

wish you the best, thanks for the video, it is so nice to see you and work at the same time, relaxes my mind

Loved the mesmerizing rainbow! Never seen anything like that!

Oh my gosh I have never seen that kind of rainbow before! Thank you so much for filming it for us! 🤩🤩🤩 Also, I so enjoyed your singing. Such an amazing voice!

I think that Ajijic would be a great homebase for you based on what you have shared with us about your preferences. You can have your garden, and your nature retreat time, and travel whenever you get bored. Then when you are tired from travel you come home to your little slice of paradise. That house was SOOOOO adorable for you!

I am flabbergasted that you have never set foot in Pátzcuaro.

Wow Maddie! What a beautiful singing voice you have! 😃

Maddy you are killing it, loving your videos. Do more

Wow amazing voice Keep it coming Maddie you look great

Wow! That rainbow! Crazy!

Practice makes perfect Maddie!!! You got this girl!!! Go ahead on!!!

Ajijic looks so beautiful and quaint. Very interesting and just plain gorgeous Plus looks like you can walk to every thing I saw your video on getting your 1st tattoo in Mexico. First let me say that I feel bad that you had a bad reaction and in much pain. With no disrespect to you in your choice of getting it in Mexico but maybe she didn't understand your wishes in how you wanted it or she didn't understand but I hope you are doing better and you went to Dr! That area on your ankle is really soft tissue and possibly she went to deep however I hope your feeling better Peace to you!!!

Hi Maddie, first time writer here longtime listener. I think you’re absolutely right about plugging into the community in Ajijic for success . I read about a woman who left San Miguel because she was tired of the party party party all the time. She went back home so she could plug into her old life. I think that’s what we’re required to do wherever we live. We need to plug-in to life and the community, and then we find happiness.

Hey Maddie, how are you doing? Loved the singing, you should do that more often

WOW Maddie your singing is spectacular !! great Video more please !!

What! Maddie you have an amazing voice. I had no idea you could sing so beautifully! Loved the video, you make the best vlogs. Always look forward to it! 💕

Maddie!! Your voice !! I am gonna cry !! So beautiful, you are gifted💙. Sending love

Love your yellow top Maddie, you are looking fabulous. Thanks for the tour of Ajijic. love that town. Your singing is quite good, lovely voice. And yes please do lots of videos on different places to live. I m moving there in a few months and those vlogs are very helpful. Ajijic is a great place to start because it will be easier to get adjusted with so many gringos and everyone speaks English. Helpful while I m trying to learn Spanish. Try Ocotlan , it looks like a beautiful town.

This place looks like Paradise, Maddie. Another can't get enough of v/log. Keep em coming and brush up on your Ukele . Watching late from bonnie Scotland.

Woah your singing is incredible, you might enjoy singing along with friends playing

You have a really nice voice!! Surprise❤😁🎶🎶🎶wow!!

Keep it up Maddie you have a beautiful voice. I can see you entertaining in time square! ❤️ Live where you like, don't let others decide for you.

Those cloud rainbows are really cool! I’ve never seen that before.

Beautiful video ..you are soaring..this place speaks to me too..❤️💓💥🌟🌼🌻love the art murals

Wow! You have a beautiful singing voice! Thank you for sharing with us.

Loved seeing more of Ajijic...what a charming town. Being older, I am sure I would love it there. Food looked great, and oh those colorful clouds were magic! Keep working on the uke...your voice is beautiful!
