When many people think about visiting or moving to Mexico, their focus is exclusively on the country's beaches. That's a mistake, because the central highlands present a perfect place to experience the food, culture and history of Mexico. Querétaro is a city of just over a million people and despite its size, is beautiful and charming. In this video, check out some of the main things to see and do when visiting Querétaro.
Music provided by Epidemic Sound.
Having retired in 2023, I now travel full-time, seeing places all around the world. My idea for RU-vid is to make the videos more about the places and people along the way, than about me. I hope that the experience for you is both entertaining and educational. Perhaps you will come away from my channel with ideas about places you would like to visit or be inspired to forge your own way.
I travel slowly, spending four or five weeks in each destination. Hopefully, that will allow me to go beyond the surface to find the essence of each location. By the end of 2024, I will have visited 14 countries and five of the seven continents. Come along for the journey!

I watched your Mexico series of videos and loved them. You show the places and explain very well, thank you so much, most other RU-vidrs keep on filming themselves 100% of the time or showing food, rather than showing the real beauty and attractions of the places. I am planning a trip to Central Mexico with my partners and your videos have been invaluable

Excelent overview of Queretaro culture. You really captured the escence. It would also be nice to see the contrast of the modern side of the city, I've heard there has been a lot of development in the area and it would be great to see that contrast as well.
@oldaloneandfarfromhome
@oldaloneandfarfromhome 5 месяцев назад
That is so kind of you! I actually changed locations today to a suburb east of the city. It is my intention to visit some of the parts of town that are growing over the next couple of weeks. If I get good video, I will try to provide a bit of that contrast. Thank you for watching!

I certainly found that to be the case, but a Canadian woman was killed there in a roadside robbery, during my time in the city. It's important to be vigilant wherever you travel.

Ha! I have always acknowledged that pronunciation of places and words in languages other than my own is a challenge. I thought maybe I could learn from you, but when I searched, I couldn't find any videos that you have produced.
