    Congratulations, I was in tears filled with joy for you. Today my 29 yr old daughter moved to Ireland in hopes to stay there for the unforeseen time. She will also have to go through this process. I’m hoping for the same results for her. It’s such a joy seeing you and your friend restoring that old home. Celebrate big!

    Congratulations!!!! That's so amazing. I have loved watching your journey. I just moved from California to Sweden with my two cats and your video about moving with your dog helped sooo much! Luckily I am a dual citizen, so I don't need a visa, but I am so happy you got yours. (Also, I know you two aren't a couple (officially), but know that if you are, I super support you and you make an adorable couple, if you are a couple. I'm sorry you got so many hurtful comments when you moved in together. Not everyone watching feels that way.)

    Congratulations on your three-year Visa. Now, back to your home renovation. Watch out, kitchen. Fall is here, and you are about to have a makeover. Sweet pup, ducks, and potatoes grow well in Germany. It is a beautiful country.

    I grew up in a village far away from the city, which was completely off the grid; there was no electricity or TV until I finished primary school. Over time, the village slowly developed, but I had to move to a different country to complete my medical education and become a doctor. After graduating, I got a job there and lived alone until I returned home just before COVID-19. I haven't been able to go back since because the country I was living in had very strict policies, and I couldn’t get permanent residency.
    I have subscribed to your channel and watched every single video you've uploaded since the beginning. Your videos make me feel like you are living the life I once had, and the things you explain resonate with my thoughts. Not to mention, you look like someone I always adored, who left me for reasons I could never understand. Since then, my mental health has been somewhat like yours, and I've struggled. However, I realized that living a life I need and enjoy is the most valuable thing on earth. Chasing something that causes stress can lead to severe sickness, from which it’s hard to recover.
    I'm glad you've found time to stay there, and I hope you use that valuable time to come up with something for the future. Stay healthy and happy, and keep sharing your stories here so that we can enjoy and stay connected.

    Hi Maddie... You certainly do keep good secrets well under wraps. Thinking about your visa situation before the end of the video I was confident that the immigration officer would grant you at least a one year visa, and possibly a three year visa depending on how impressive and thorough your application was. Congratulations, and I'm looking forward to the next three years with you in the German countryside.

    I remember when I was doing my Australian visa and then doing my permanent residency was so emotional, its such a big thing as understandable to be where you want to live and with someone you want to be with, its an amazing emotional feeling when you get your visa ect..... im so happy for you and my heart glows knowing you will be fine and be able to stay together in your home and enjoy an exciting life...... and just so you know I got my visa and then my permanent residency and now im an Australian citizen. its a lot of hard work, took a lot of time and even expense but sooooooooo worth it. congratulations to you Maddie xxxxx

    Hi Maddie, I found your channel quite a while ago because I dreamt of living in a van as well (also did live in a van for some time) and just really enjoyed your videos. Now watching your channel again it turns out you moved not only to Germany but somewhere close to where I grew up^^ (I‘ll not mention the name because I don‘t know how close you live to that city and if you want to keep that private) Congratulations on your visa und euch beiden weiterhin viel Kraft für die Renovierungsarbeiten☀️(bin schon gespannt auf die Küche)🙂 Viele Grüße mittlerweile aus Kopenhagen ❤️

To seek out new experiences, & places to explore. To boldly go where she has never gone before. Sorry, I've got the Original Series of Star Trek on my tv right now lol

The uncertainty. The amount of work involved in applying for the extensions and the PR card! The Canadian government knows more about me than anyone does! And, the relief when you reach your goal! Glad that you can move forward with a mind at peace.

It can be a stressful experience trying to settle in a new country whilst not even knowing whether you can stay. I hope you are not missing the USA too much. It's good that you spent so much time on your own on the road because for many, homesickness can be their toughest hurdle. Good luck!
