I traveled to Oaxaca City, Mexico for my first Spanish Immersion Retreat and this epic week rewrote my future (A *must-watch* before coming to Mexico) ❁❁More info about this immersion retreat: https://spanishandgo.com/immersion-retreats I've been living in Mexico for 5 years, so I thought I had a pretty good handle on the Spanish language before going on this immersion retreat with @SpanishandGo but WOW my Spanish leveled up like crazy! Beyond language learning, it was a life-altering experience. Hopefully, I captured that in this Oaxaca Mexico vlog! Our week in Oaxaca City, Mexico was filled with: - Trying authentic Oaxacan food and drinks (Oaxacan chocolate, mezcal, tlayudas, mole, tejate, ice cream, street food, and more) - Learning about how Oaxacan chocolate is made in a hidden factory - Going to the maguey fields to learn the process of making mezcal and try it right next to the agave plants themselves - The engaging daily Spanish lessons - Beautiful Oaxacan architecture like the Templo de Santo Domingo and other historic buildings - Surprising cultural experiences like little parades called "calendas" - Free time to explore Oaxaca City ❁❁WATCH NEXT❁❁ The side of Mexico you’ve NEVER seen!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3qw16OxV10 ❁❁ABOUT ME❁❁ Hi, I'm Maddie, former partner of Tangerine Travels, a travel vlog with over 350 videos that I helped build for 4 years to over 250k subscribers.
