Enjoy your time in beautiful Paris!If you get "bored" consider taking the train to Amsterdam for a day or 2, it's only 3 hours away. I know you would love it here, and I'm happy to give you guys some tips/advice!
This is so great, I'm in my 50s and put my similar dream travel trip on hold to raise children always saying I would do it eventually..(i still will,but it's going to be different now) I'm so glad you are doing this,its so important . .😊
I have an obsession with going places other than where I live because it does help my anxiety and depression. I wish I could just drop everything and go somewhere real nice !
YES. I get a little bit of a destination addiction. I just want to travel. I flew (first time in 20 years) to FL for the first time for 3 days at Thanksgiving as a flight companion for my grandma with Alzheimer’s. I went back over Christmas because I just needed more time and another adventure. I came back and people said they could see a marked difference in my mood (anxiety/depression) after coming home from FL. The sunshine, adventure, and time with my family was just what I needed. I needed out of where I’ve been for SO long.
How exciting!!! If you will please, can you show more of what France looks like? Not necessarily the touristy spots, but what day to day life looks like there. ☺️ Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️
You are so brave!!! Stepping out of your comfort zone like that is a huge thing and I believe in doing that every once in a while because it's healthy. It helps us remember or discover who we really are or who we aspire to be. I hope you'll have an amazing time in Paris!! 💕💕
Waiting for all the comments asking how you can leave your boyfriend for that long, but it’s 2019- we are in STRONG distance relationships, we care about SELF GROWTH, and we are taking opportunities for self exploration and cultural diversity. LTR’s and self improvement for the win💕
Infamous Rae, I was thinking the same... hold for the barrage of questions asking if Julia and Nick are okay. Julia, it's wonderful to see you in Paris and even more so that you have the time to really experience the country! The metro and trains will be your best friend and I look forward to seeing your videos or vlogs while exploring! 😎
Infamous Rae Plus, didn't she say it was for just a month? What's the big deal? If a relationship can't last one month apart, move on. They'll be fine.
So awesome you’re doing this for yourself!! If you can - try to rent a bike :) I feel like you’ll stumble upon hidden gems and absorb areas in different ways compared to walking or transit. The idea of cruising the streets of Paris at night sounds soo soothing. Much love to you goddess ✌🏼🌻
lol if you want to cruise the streets of Paris alone at night, you should become more familiar with the different areas and neighborhoods first. Paris is like any big city, this isn't a movie set. Pro tip: steer clear of the bois de boulogne at night.
@@thatswavy exactly, I'm in Miami and tourists come here and walk around areas in South Beach that the locals wouldn't be walking out at night so please be careful and listen to the locals.
I’m so happy for you to finally be where you’ve been earning to be. I agree with everything you said. I suffer from depression too and being outside of my comfort zone and putting myself out there helps. I hope you’re having a lovely time.
Btw Julia, I live 20 mins outside of Nashville, so if you ever come out this way anytime soon, you've git a place to crash, and I'd love to meet you! Have fun in Paris. Can't wait to see what you create out there. And I couldn't agree with you more about the connection with your significant other. My husband was in the army, and being away from each other shorter periods of time, is super healthy. As cliche as the saying is, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder.", is so very true. Have an awesome day!
It is so true! Happy to hear that the distance has strengthened your relationship as well. Thank you to your husband for his service! I appreciate your kindness and warm message. ❤️
i think that i really needed this video! i am a french major and hope to study abroad for spring 2020. but i have been very reluctant and scared from just thinking about it. it truly comforts me to know that you are okay with being outside of your comfort zone, especially in a language you aren't fluent in. :~)
Paris is my favorite city, soooo looking forward to these videos. Even just walking around Paris doing nothing, I'd watch hours of that. Living on your own away from home, esp. in a foreign country long term is such an incredible experience, with both the ups and downs. I hope you learn a lot about yourself! Have fun and stay safe!
This is awesome! I’m so proud of you. I’m 32 and I’ve always regretted not traveling out of the country in my twenties. I’ll live vicariously through you. Thank you for the “trip”🥰
Hi Julia ! If you need any advice on what to do in Paris or need any inspiration on what to see, what to eat, where to go, I would be really happy to help you with my best friend Marie! We are both French and live there, and we’re following you since a couple of months now and find so much comfort and peace in watching your videos :) thank you and welcome to Paris (again!)
This is amazing! Good for you for getting out into the unknown! I did this last year as well because I got into very negative routines of depression and self-sabotage after losing my dad. Travel and new experiences (even in your own city) are so instrumental to breaking sad, downward-spiraling habits. Always having something to look forward to, even if it's relatively small. Hopefully you're inspiring so many others to do the same!
Travel is one of the greatest educations the world can give us. Drink in all the sights, sounds, smells and experience the different energy and culture, and enjoy mindshare with those around you. I love France and Paris is one of the greatest cities in the world, have an awesome and safe time.
Great joice, Julia!!! Place is looking cosy and very positive. Funny when you said, that you already miss your cats....💓💚💓 Enjoy your time here in europe😊💚
Paris market/food shop and meal prep video with what you find? Old bookshop exploration? A video with a random subscriber bringing you to a couple of their favorite places (be it thrifting or nature or something fun)? A Parisian-style makeup routine or shopping at a French pharmacy for some fun French beauty cult classics?
Hearing you talk about your travel and adjustment to France has me refreshing my thinking about where I live. I’ve moved to a rural Missouri town from Kansas City to be with my husband. I’ve lived here for almost 2 years and have adjusted well. After hearing your story I’ve started exploring my “new” home more and enjoying life’s current flow. Enjoy your adventure!
Have fun Julia! I hope you can show us around when you get a chance! Maybe not your thing but I’ve always wanted to see what a Paris bake shop looks like! If not, that’s ok too! Be safe and don’t sweat the haters! You just live your best Paris life! Lots of love ❤️. p.s. TH-cam has unsubscribed me now twice. Wtf? Lol. I’ll keep checking to make sure I stay subscribed. Take Care
Paris is a wonderful city, and so is the entire France! So much culture everywhere! I really hope you will enjoy your stay and I strongly recommend you to go out of Paris too at some point, if you're staying that long. I would really like "visual journal" kind of videos of your trip, of your explorations and findings. There is a small place that I fell in love with in Paris. I don't even remember the name of it, but it was a small quiche restaurant across Notre Dame, over the Seine river, with the most amazingly intimate atmosphere and with a plethora of choices for quiches, from classic to desserts and good music. Welcome to Europe, I hope you enjoy your stay and I hope our friendly French subscribers will take good care of you, and you of them. Many many hugs from Romania (lowkey hoping one day you will want to visit here too
@@CynthiaAva Romania would be lucky to have you as a guest! Depending on what you're interested in, you could find a little bit of everything here, from castles, monasteries, landscapes, culture and a lot of rustic charm. Transylvania is the go to region for visitors, but there are a lot of gems in this country! If you ever need help/recommendations let me know and I will be more than happy to provide them for you
I’ve fooled around with the idea of visiting Paris a lot recently and doing some traveling. This video and your story is so helpful, may just be the inspiration I needed, I can’t wait for more Julia!
I just came back from a trip to Europe (including Paris) recently and didn't speak any of the languages , that was actualy part of the fun, it was kinda like the music of the city. Besides, You will be surprised how many people there speak English. Google translate helped alot too. I had to use it in a pharmacy, both to read the labels on boxes and to ask the pharmacist questions. It surprised me that I never really felt like I couldn't communicate with someone if I needed to. Also I suggest making contact with the U.S. embassy if you haven't already, they can give you safe haven in the event of (heaven forbid)some kind of emergency. Have a blast while you are there and I am so happy for you to have this opportunity, may you have many more!
How exciting! It’s really inspiring how you are able travel on your own to a foreign place like that. It’s so beneficial for mental health, I love how you didn’t let it hold you back (which is what tends to happen to me) but instead used it as an extremely beneficial personal growth experience! I would love for you to speak more on that as I have been struggling with the same issues you’ve mentioned for some time now. Thank you! 💋
You are a brave and lovely lady, and to be admired for wandering out of your comfort zone. Actually, u remind me a lot of my eldest daughter. My blessings to u on your new journey in Paris 🤗.
I love how you shot the first couple of 'scences' and your vlog style is so easy to watch. There are some awesome cities around Paris too which you can take the train to really easily, have an excellent time! Looking forward to your next update!
I don't know how but I feel like you took the words right out of my mouth. I struggle with depression and anxiety as well, and the last 8-9 months have been really rough on me. I was telling my husband how traveling really is emotionally healing for me and currently I feel like I have nothing to look forward to. Financially we're not in a place to travel very far, but we're hoping to add small trips near our home (las vegas) soon. I hope you have an amazing time in Paris! I spent a month in Bulgaria last year for work, and it was absolutely amazing. I'd recommend checking ryan air and wow air and doing some mini weekend trips to other countries. You can find tickets for literally nothing! Have fun and be safe!! Can't wait to see your next video in France! :D
Congrats on taking this trip! I’m so excited for you! France has a special place in my heart. A couple summers ago, I spent a month in Combloux, France and a weekend in Lyon. I felt similar to you when I first arrived. Part of me was thinking, “What am I doing here? I barely speak French (took one class prior to my trip.) And I’m all alone.” (Plus, I stuck out like a sore thumb: short, brown, Mexican girl from Southern California!) I normally relish in solitude, but in that moment, I felt a little isolated. Luckily, people in the village were kind, I did my best to communicate with them, and I had such a blast all by myself. When I revisit pictures from that trip, my heart breaks because I miss it so much. The views of Mont Blanc & the French Alps are like no other. If you you get hungry for more nature, you can visit Chamonix (a larger city not too far from the village of Combloux.) There’s a big ski resort there for the winter months, and it’s absolutely stunning in the summer! I hope you have an amazing trip ❤️
So very happy you are doing this for yourself!! I applaud you!! Traveling is also helpful for me with depression. Can't wait to see and hear about your journey in Paris!! Have fun and stay safe!!
Well done for following your dream! Some videos of what hidden gems you discover whilst in Paris, and of course ASMR videos! Wishing you lots of happy adventures in Paris ❤️
I spent three months in France about two years ago (Montpellier specifically). Taking french classes helped me a lot with feeling like I could take care of myself and meeting people. I took classes at ACCENT FRANCAIS. Maybe they have a Paris branch?
Oh definitely like an out and about in Paris! The little cafes and the scenery. I think it’s awesome you can live your life and do all the things that make you happy! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm so inspired! I've been wanting to go back to Barcelona for an extended stay, there are monthly rentals for about $1000 US, less than rent here in Portland lol. Cant wait to see more Paris vlogs and details about how you planned your trip
Since you'll be staying in France for a wee while, I recommend you spend a week end (or more) in Bordeaux, the weather should be a bit nicer and the city is great, close to the ocean and the vineyards! Moving away is tough and messy but it's all so worth it!
Hey Julia! Have an amazing adventure and all great journeys start with a single step ! Glad you are taking some time for yourself and enjoy some fantastic food and enjoy…
I would love to eventually move to Paris one day even if it’s for a short time. I’ve always wanted to do that but my life has never let up enough for me to do so. Before I’m 30 I WILL be in Paris. Love you Julia! ❤️
wow you are so close al of a sudden! thats so cool. paris is amazing. I totally agree on spending some time away from a partner can make the relationship even stronger. I would love to see 'a day in the life of paris', when you are settled. take us along when you go out. looking forward to paris asmr videos! you are so creative. one of the best asmr creators in my opinion. much love from Denmark
You should film a video of exploring the city one day! See what you can find. That’s always my favorite thing, discovering little hidden parts that no one really pays attention to.
AH this is exciting for you!! I don’t know if you remember me commenting at some point a while ago about this, but my boyfriend and I have been long distance (I’m in the southern US and he’s in Australia) for almost 4 years and and I’m moving there next month!!! It’s happening!!!!! And I’m so excited!!!!!!! I worked in both retail and at a bar (retail store in the mornings/ early afternoons and then straight to the bar to work a dinner shift almost every night for the 3ish years that I’ve been saving up to go be able to stay with him long term) and it feels so airy and giddy and surreal to finally be at the point in our story that brings us together long term. Not to be too deep or cheesy but from what I’ve seen for you and the close friends around me, 2019 is going to be a year of pushing forward in big steps I think. And I’m excited as hell for it.
I totally relate to the idea of travel being something to look forward to especially when I'm not feeling my best. Vacations and travel are super important to me and definitely help me manage my mental health.
Thats amazing! Try to explore around your living area, dont stay at home ❤ so happy for you, would love to meet you but I'm actually from Portugal 💕 I would love to see a video with your morning routine in paris, things that you love about being there...and what do you eat as well Lots of love xx
I just graduated from university in Finland so we're staying in Portugal for 3 months. I've been here many times before and also studied here for a bit but this is the best trip so far and I'm loving it. 😊 Have a great time in Paris, we will be driving through there in March once we go back to Finland.
I took 14 years of French immersion in school (Canada) in school, and I didn't feel like a really grasped the language until I lived in France for 6 months! Enjoy your time there! I only spent a month in Paris but enjoyed every second
Hi Julia! WOW doing what you're doing takes a lot of courage. Moving to a foreign country has been my dream since I was in high school. And lately I've been thinking too much the idea of leaving my country and try somewhere else. But I guess that kind of decision aren't easy. Anyways, I'm so happy for you and this new adventure you get to live! Enjoy ir for me too! 😘
You're so brave! I would love to see a vlog with you wandering around a flea market and then showing us the cool stuff {or one thing - even a hat} you found that day, or perhaps a lovely trinket you may use for an ASMR video. Have fun, Julia!
would love a paris what i eat in a day/grocery haul. also would love some videos on the differences of doing zero/low waste in somewhere like LA versus paris! and a minimalist luggage tour would be cool. just a few ideas. i hope you enjoy france, kudos to getting out of your comfort zone!!
You are so incredibly brave to travel abroad by yourself. I went to Europe, Paris included last year and it was very challenging sometimes because of the language barrier. My husband is super good at navigating, I honestly would have gotten hopelessly lost without him.
I was an au pair in Switzerland for two years and I’m from Toronto, Canada! I did it all by myself, it was also my first time flying as well (I was 20 at the time) when I first left. It is such a cool experience! I also didn’t speak any French and had not studied it for 6 years prior so it is intimidating! As long as you try when you are out, the French people will love you for it. Hope you embrace it and have a blast! Wish I was there, you are super lucky. Xo
Hi Julia, thank you for your inspiring videos. I totally understand your decision to challenge yourself. I moved to Vancouver in 2016 after finishing med school cause I felt like when to do something crazy...now or never. Now me and my Canadian boyfriend are moving to Prague.🙆 Life. Have fun!
I've always wanted to just run off and live in another country for awhile, but I've let fear and my anxiety hold me back. So excited to follow you on this journey.
Definitely would love to see a "day around Paris" video! As someone else stated in the comments not necessarily tourist spots but just what Paris is like or spots you are going to visit! 😎
Congrats! France is amazing. I actually lived there for a year right after college. I stayed in Toulouse but I stayed in Paris for almost 2 weeks. The language is hard but the more you go out the better you will do. It's an amazing place. Profitez-en bien!
Wow, that's very brave! It takes a lot of courage to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Well done! I live in Italy, if you have time you could travel around here as well, there are plenty of amazing places (and people and food). Big hug!
so jealous!!! currently doing homework and I came to youtube to look up biology videos and saw your pretty face! It looks incredible there... enjoy it!
You should go to Un Monde Vegan! I know you're not vegan but its got tons of really cool and healthy vegan and cruelty free products. I lived in Spain last year and went to Paris twice during my stay and stocked up on vegan candy and goodies. Also def check out some vintage stores if you haven't already, the best thing to do alone is wander around all the vintage and antiques, to shop or to just peruse.
You are so so genuine and I love your channel! Such a shame I am in Amsterdam and not in Paris :) Enjoy your time there and live your life to the fullest 💜
So happy to see you traveling ! Paris is beautiful! I’m so excited to see where else life takes you 💕 also maybe an ASMR Paris edition ? Maybe with some lovely French triggering words ?.. 🤔 lol
Yes Paris morning routine! & asmr!!💕😩
Enjoy your time in beautiful Paris!If you get "bored" consider taking the train to Amsterdam for a day or 2, it's only 3 hours away. I know you would love it here, and I'm happy to give you guys some tips/advice!
Yes come to Amsterdam 🤗!!
Agree agree!
Yes come to Amsterdam Julia 🥰
Yes!! Amsterdam!!! :d
Go to Bruge, Brussels. It’s a fairytale city I’ve always wanted to visit.
Would love to have u take us around the city and daily ish vlogs! I'm never been and dying to see hehe

Angie Nic I felt this comment in my soul
YES. I get a little bit of a destination addiction. I just want to travel. I flew (first time in 20 years) to FL for the first time for 3 days at Thanksgiving as a flight companion for my grandma with Alzheimer’s. I went back over Christmas because I just needed more time and another adventure. I came back and people said they could see a marked difference in my mood (anxiety/depression) after coming home from FL. The sunshine, adventure, and time with my family was just what I needed.

Have the best time in Paris! You deserve it! ❤💜
Video about dry paint coming soon 😅❤️
I’m so happy for you to finally be where you’ve been earning to be. I agree with everything you said. I suffer from depression too and being outside of my comfort zone and putting myself out there helps. I hope you’re having a lovely time.
This is inspiring me to have the guts to move to Italy for a while after college!
Okay, I’m committing to doing this for myself! The love and support on this channel is amazing!

I felt similar to you when I first arrived. Part of me was thinking, “What am I doing here? I barely speak French (took one class prior to my trip.) And I’m all alone.” (Plus, I stuck out like a sore thumb: short, brown, Mexican girl from Southern California!) I normally relish in solitude, but in that moment, I felt a little isolated. Luckily, people in the village were kind, I did my best to communicate with them, and I had such a blast all by myself.
When I revisit pictures from that trip, my heart breaks because I miss it so much. The views of Mont Blanc & the French Alps are like no other.
If you you get hungry for more nature, you can visit Chamonix (a larger city not too far from the village of Combloux.) There’s a big ski resort there for the winter months, and it’s absolutely stunning in the summer! I hope you have an amazing trip ❤️
So very happy you are doing this for yourself!! I applaud you!! Traveling is also helpful for me with depression. Can't wait to see and hear about your journey in Paris!! Have fun and stay safe!!
Have fun!! Can’t wait to watch all your French adventures!!
Well done for following your dream! Some videos of what hidden gems you discover whilst in Paris, and of course ASMR videos! Wishing you lots of happy adventures in Paris ❤️
Im so excited for your content in Paris! I’ve always wanted to visit but i haven’t been able to, i love your videos Julia! xo
Oh great !! Happy to have you here in my beautiful country, the more you’ll discover it the more you’ll love it, hope to see you at once !
so excited to watch your journey while you're there! have the time of your life!
Hope you’re having a wonderful time!
I spent three months in France about two years ago (Montpellier specifically). Taking french classes helped me a lot with feeling like I could take care of myself and meeting people. I took classes at ACCENT FRANCAIS. Maybe they have a Paris branch?
Oh definitely like an out and about in Paris! The little cafes and the scenery. I think it’s awesome you can live your life and do all the things that make you happy! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Congrats on finally being in a place in life where you can go and explore the world and yourself ! Hope you have a happy little journey 💗
Yes to the Paris morning routine please once your all settled :) and as always thank you for sharing with us!
I'm so inspired! I've been wanting to go back to Barcelona for an extended stay, there are monthly rentals for about $1000 US, less than rent here in Portland lol. Cant wait to see more Paris vlogs and details about how you planned your trip
Since you'll be staying in France for a wee while, I recommend you spend a week end (or more) in Bordeaux, the weather should be a bit nicer and the city is great, close to the ocean and the vineyards! Moving away is tough and messy but it's all so worth it!
Hey Julia! Have an amazing adventure and all great journeys start with a single step ! Glad you are taking some time for yourself and enjoy some fantastic food and enjoy…
I would love to eventually move to Paris one day even if it’s for a short time. I’ve always wanted to do that but my life has never let up enough for me to do so. Before I’m 30 I WILL be in Paris. Love you Julia! ❤️
wow you are so close al of a sudden! thats so cool. paris is amazing. I totally agree on spending some time away from a partner can make the relationship even stronger. I would love to see 'a day in the life of paris', when you are settled. take us along when you go out. looking forward to paris asmr videos! you are so creative. one of the best asmr creators in my opinion. much love from Denmark
So excited for you!! I hope your stay is all you wish it to be💋
Love this! So brave and timely. Do it while you have the time because it's not promised to anyone.
You should film a video of exploring the city one day! See what you can find. That’s always my favorite thing, discovering little hidden parts that no one really pays attention to.
A what I eat in a day but Paris version! Have fun in Paris and I’m so glad you are able to do this for yourself!
AH this is exciting for you!! I don’t know if you remember me commenting at some point a while ago about this, but my boyfriend and I have been long distance (I’m in the southern US and he’s in Australia) for almost 4 years and and I’m moving there next month!!! It’s happening!!!!! And I’m so excited!!!!!!!
I worked in both retail and at a bar (retail store in the mornings/ early afternoons and then straight to the bar to work a dinner shift almost every night for the 3ish years that I’ve been saving up to go be able to stay with him long term) and it feels so airy and giddy and surreal to finally be at the point in our story that brings us together long term.
Not to be too deep or cheesy but from what I’ve seen for you and the close friends around me, 2019 is going to be a year of pushing forward in big steps I think. And I’m excited as hell for it.
Safe travels Julia and please consider coming to Scotland.. I think you’d love it!🌎
Love your channel!!❤️
You are so brave Julia! Have fun and be safe in France! Much love from Texas 💖
I totally relate to the idea of travel being something to look forward to especially when I'm not feeling my best. Vacations and travel are super important to me and definitely help me manage my mental health.
Thats amazing! Try to explore around your living area, dont stay at home ❤ so happy for you, would love to meet you but I'm actually from Portugal 💕
I would love to see a video with your morning routine in paris, things that you love about being there...and what do you eat as well
Lots of love xx
So happy that you can discover more about my country, you'll see how beautiful it is 😊😍
Omg I loved Paris 💜 hope you have an amazing time Julia!!
I just graduated from university in Finland so we're staying in Portugal for 3 months. I've been here many times before and also studied here for a bit but this is the best trip so far and I'm loving it. 😊 Have a great time in Paris, we will be driving through there in March once we go back to Finland.
Id like to see paris coffee shop asmr , or a vlog walking around for the day
Oh snap! Look at you with the killer video edits! Way to go!!!
Your videos make me get out of be and be able to start my day. Thank you!
I took 14 years of French immersion in school (Canada) in school, and I didn't feel like a really grasped the language until I lived in France for 6 months! Enjoy your time there! I only spent a month in Paris but enjoyed every second
Hi Julia! WOW doing what you're doing takes a lot of courage. Moving to a foreign country has been my dream since I was in high school. And lately I've been thinking too much the idea of leaving my country and try somewhere else. But I guess that kind of decision aren't easy. Anyways, I'm so happy for you and this new adventure you get to live! Enjoy ir for me too! 😘
This video honestly made me feel so happy. I can’t explain it. Enjoy it ❤️
I am so so so happy to see you in my city ! Hope you will enjoy your journey ✨✨
yay Paris videos! Didn't realise you were planning to stay for so long. Best of luck
You're so brave! I would love to see a vlog with you wandering around a flea market and then showing us the cool stuff {or one thing - even a hat} you found that day, or perhaps a lovely trinket you may use for an ASMR video. Have fun, Julia!
I would love to see more ASMR! Your videos are some of the only ones that are able to make me relax when I'm feeling stressed :)
How Rad! Have a great time! Can't wait to see your Paris videos ❤
I‘m so happy for you, enjoy your trip ❤️ I‘d love to see ASMR videos, of course, but also vlogs and what you eat in a day :)
would love a paris what i eat in a day/grocery haul. also would love some videos on the differences of doing zero/low waste in somewhere like LA versus paris! and a minimalist luggage tour would be cool. just a few ideas. i hope you enjoy france, kudos to getting out of your comfort zone!!
You are so incredibly brave to travel abroad by yourself. I went to Europe, Paris included last year and it was very challenging sometimes because of the language barrier. My husband is super good at navigating, I honestly would have gotten hopelessly lost without him.
I was an au pair in Switzerland for two years and I’m from Toronto, Canada! I did it all by myself, it was also my first time flying as well (I was 20 at the time) when I first left. It is such a cool experience! I also didn’t speak any French and had not studied it for 6 years prior so it is intimidating! As long as you try when you are out, the French people will love you for it.
Hope you embrace it and have a blast! Wish I was there, you are super lucky. Xo
Hope you have a great time! Can’t wait to see some Paris vids.
Hi Julia, thank you for your inspiring videos. I totally understand your decision to challenge yourself. I moved to Vancouver in 2016 after finishing med school cause I felt like when to do something crazy...now or never. Now me and my Canadian boyfriend are moving to Prague.🙆 Life. Have fun!
I've always wanted to just run off and live in another country for awhile, but I've let fear and my anxiety hold me back. So excited to follow you on this journey.
What an adventure! Enjoy! Love from the UK!
Definitely would love to see a "day around Paris" video! As someone else stated in the comments not necessarily tourist spots but just what Paris is like or spots you are going to visit! 😎
Congrats! France is amazing. I actually lived there for a year right after college. I stayed in Toulouse but I stayed in Paris for almost 2 weeks. The language is hard but the more you go out the better you will do. It's an amazing place. Profitez-en bien!
Wow, that's very brave! It takes a lot of courage to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Well done! I live in Italy, if you have time you could travel around here as well, there are plenty of amazing places (and people and food). Big hug!
Please go all out!!! Have a great time.... I am so happy for you 💜💜💜💜
I'm so proud of you and excited to see more :)
so jealous!!! currently doing homework and I came to youtube to look up biology videos and saw your pretty face! It looks incredible there... enjoy it!
You should go to Un Monde Vegan! I know you're not vegan but its got tons of really cool and healthy vegan and cruelty free products. I lived in Spain last year and went to Paris twice during my stay and stocked up on vegan candy and goodies. Also def check out some vintage stores if you haven't already, the best thing to do alone is wander around all the vintage and antiques, to shop or to just peruse.
Sticky Coyote she is vegan , she videoed a whole day in what she eats with recipes .
Video Ideas: love everyday stuff, what does the petrol station like, take us to buy t.p, how much do stamps cost etc... (Or anything similar to that)
You are so so genuine and I love your channel! Such a shame I am in Amsterdam and not in Paris :) Enjoy your time there and live your life to the fullest 💜
So happy to see you traveling ! Paris is beautiful! I’m so excited to see where else life takes you 💕 also maybe an ASMR Paris edition ? Maybe with some lovely French triggering words ?.. 🤔 lol
