I'm super excited for you to come to India but also as an Indian I also kindly request you to double check everything for safety concerns as a solo traveller. But girl if possible visit our North East Region of India super beautiful and safe, I hope I get to meet you🥺
@@M-sy2yy I would definitely recommend my state first Arunachal Pradesh. Not just cause it’s the place I belong to but it has the most amazing views and tourists spots you can explore and then try Meghalaya loveee Meghalaya🤍
I feel like so many girls go through a "self improvement" phase in mid-later 20s because of (or at least partially because of) disappointing dating/relationship experiences, and I just have to put this here: you don't have to be perfect in order to have a reasonable and fulfilling relationship. Self improvement or whatever is best when the motivation is not tied up in how you come across to other people, but is actually truly for the self.
The amount of obsessing and lists I made.. Organising every single thing I own, endless things I could change about my looks, my health, 100s of cool hobbys.. Ways to act, of course perfectly morally right and somehow more attractive and cool 🙄 Makes me want to be single and celibate so I can focus more on those things because they take time and effort- but why strive for perfection when in the end thats not the only way to be happy and being with another human being that I love does make me happy and feels more real than trying to conform to some clean girl aesthetic superwoman 😅
Her video aesthetic is second to none. I have asked her directly in another comment here how she does it so beautifully, and so I really hope she replies. In any case, can you offer any advice on how she produces this aesthetic in her videos, e.g. the camera, colour grading (I'm an amateur, so I called this tint), lens, etc?
@@ftwinsidia i wrote this: @ftwinsidia wow, thank you so much. you are like a gold mind. genuinely, thank you. can i see and support any of your own work?
pls pls consider travelling to india with a large group, female safety is practically a joke here. i live in mumbai and i suggest south of india. it’s the best.
Hey Leah!!! if you're travelling to India make sure you visit the North east !! its pretty safe here and make sure to bring friends since its India(i wouldnt recommend solo travelling in the country) BUT YES visit the north east!!
wow, i’ve been watching leah for years, she’s my comfort person and it’s crazy to see how we have gone through the same stages of life around the same timeframe (breakup, moving back to our home country, dating again…) it makes me feel comforted and calm.
It's so dangerous for women. I'm 34 and you couldn't pay me to go. The horror stories are terrifying and men will just straight up stare at you wherever you go. So unsafe. I hate that it's still being romanticized
Hopefully, she is friends with a local who is deeply aware of everything in India. Like, someone who knows the country inside out. Someone who knows where to go, how to go. Going there solo without a plan or a trusted guide/friend is not advisable. Saying this as an Indian, respectfully. Like, it's not a bad country, per se. The metro cities are nice like Bangalore, New Delhi and Mumbai but still, solo travel is not recommended.
i don't even feel comfortable going with my parents to see family now ngl 😭tensions have always been high in terms of violence against women there but right now is especially not a good time :(
Hey Leah! I travelled to India solo and I only stayed in rishikesh. I experienced some pretty scary things and regret going by myself. I am safe and was safe but I wouldn’t go again alone, even in the north in a religious area.
Hi Leah, I recently learned that Organic Basics has been owned by Delta Galil since 2022. Delta Galil, an Israeli textiles company, operates branches in settlements in the occupied West Bank. I found out about this through Zoe Suen, a fashion journalist who has been vocal about the Israeli occupation. I sincerely hope you'll reconsider your choices when it comes to sponsorships. It's disappointing to see a brand focused on sustainability being associated with a company that supports a nation involved in significant harm to both people and the environment (especially with the ongoing bombings of civilians🤬🤯)
she's so lovely, love how this is shot, it seeme all so genuine and real, havent watched her videos in over a year probably but her vibes didn't change
The update we all have been waiting for is finally here, can't explain how happy it makes me to see you again , it's like seeing a loved one after a long time.❤️ The haircut and everything is angelic.🧚🏻♂️
i literally wrote in my notebook yesterday that i wished leah would post a new video... not saying i manifested this but i am saying youre all welcome xx
I would love to hear your thoughts on queer life and feminist perspectives in China. You probably had some interesting experiences while you were there and I’m genuinely curious how it compares, what you noticed about different attitudes and things like that and if it came up with your family at all! ❤
In fact, the Chinese government or the mainstream of Chinese society does not have much control over coolers or feminism, and treats them just like ordinary people. Do not encourage, do not oppose, do not promote or prohibit
It's so exciting to see you thinking of coming to India!!As an Indian myself, I understand why some people might be concerned, but I think it’s important not to generalize too much. Yes, safety is a priority anywhere, but there are so many amazing, supportive people and beautiful places here that you’ll have a great experience with! I hope you enjoy your adventure when you go and see the best of what India has to offer! :) And have a great trip to Switzerland!❤ AND I LOVE THAT MIC ON THE FORK! Lmao
loved the lil update! it's always lovely to see you embrace life as the adventure it is! i've been having fun building queer platonic relationships and expanding beyond what society teaches us! viewing life and the people in it as one giant collaboration + building process has been so exciting as someone who was feeling confined with the notion of a nuclear family and your partner being the sole person you're meant to collaborate and build with! i love how you're keeping that adventurous spirit alive but still looking for a home base (samesies!) i know some people who don't settle and just travel which is perfectly fine but i feel you on wanting some stability! i guess it's all about embracing the season knowing that it might change years down the line and you'll start again hehe
Thank you for the very nice and creative video! I've been following your channel for a long time and I think you are really good at making viewers feel the connections with you. I have a six years younger brother and I always wonder his perspective of what it's like having a six years older sister. I've wanted to have an older sibling for that reason but since you're six years older than me watching you and listening to your life stories gives me the idea of what it's like having an older sister. Watching your video feels like catching up with an older sister (I respect) coming back home after a while and listening to all her cool stories. 😄 I don't know if this is what my brother is experiencing but at least you're amazing to make a viewer feel that way! Again, thank you for the video!:)
I like this channel. Its just interesting to see what is happening in someone else's life. It also shows me, that I'm not the only human that is just trying to figure out what to fill my time with on this earth. I feel like everyone is just trying to feel purpose in a somewhat purposeless world. Anyway thanks for the video 👍
this is my favorite video yet leah !!! i always feel like i'm healing some part of my self when watching you !! chef's kiss to you and your life's journey 🩷🩷🩷
you inspire me so much! artistically speaking and personally too! coming from someone a couple years younger than you, i just love how you give really good advice and show a different, more experienced, life perspective in your videos! thank you for this!
Healing is a slow process. It takes such a long time. When I believe that I healed from something, I get hit with moments where it comes back. Then, I have to re-heal. I thought maybe I didn't heal entirely; but when you said there's layers to healing, it helped me understand it's part of the process.
I am from India, don't be scared to go but ofc do your research and definitely have a local to help you out with stuff, honestly almost all countries are unsafe for women if you end up in a wrong part, I would love to help you out if you need any help planning or just in general. I hope you fall in love with India there's a lot of beautiful places and culture to explore here! Best of luck Leah!
Hey leah, SO HAPPY YOU ARE COMING TO MY HOME COUNTRY! It’s a beautiful country for sure, Ik a lot of people are concerned for your safety, that’s totally valid, but also don’t be too intimidated by such responses the people here are very welcoming and nurturing. I hope you can meet good people of our country. We treat our guests like god’s blessings, we’ll welcome you with open arms in India
I can relate to the era you're in right now. I have my eyes on where I want to live the next few years but I also want to travel a lot. excited for this new era for you!!
guys im freaking out with your india stories... it is an amazing country BUT i would consider not going solo as a fem. I did and kinda regret it therefore i book a group tour there:) just go girl!
Come to Australia! I feel like you are so Melbourne girlie coded 💞 P.S you look so pretty in this vid, the long wavy hair and hyper feminine cutesie look suits you so much!!
Yyayay i would love to meet you Leah when ur in India. I have been your viewer for the past 3 years, its so exciting that you will be coming to my country and experiencing our culture. Have a great trip!
I was so excited to see you had dropped a video. Im about to go to bed and its nice to just listen to you talk about everything. The video is so lovely and i love your color grading(if that's what its called). I love your dress too, its so pretty. I love you. Bye
Eeeee I got so excited when I heard you say my ig handle :p thanks for answering my question about separating work from free time! I've been trying the zero inbox thing with work/school email where I empty it out and put everything into folders at least once a week and that feels very satisfying. Glad to hear you are feeling balanced and inspired in your youtube work!
Hi Leah - I always enjoy watching your videos. Just wanted to comment that even though yes, you need to be extra careful in India, don't let all this negative comments change your excitement or even your plans. I am in India right now (solo), on a two months trip, and having the time of my life!
Leah I would recommend you to visit Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh state in India as I remember you mentioning that your dad is a Tibetan Buddhist, there are a lot of Buddhist monasteries where Tibetan people lives in exile, it’s also a place where his holiness the14th Dalai Lama lives. Would highly recommend to visit there.💕
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, steve_porassss . I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Omg yess im also very excited for that you would want to come to my country India! I'm a history graduate and i love exploring cultures and meet new people, im so excited to meet you. You are my favourite youtuber ever! Waiting for you updates
Hi leah! I've always wondered how you color grade / if you use any LUTs for editing your videos. It always looks super cool and dreamy. Would love to know more about your color grading process! Thanks! Have a great day!
I really do love your q+a… but i miss just the simple vlogs. When you used to bee bop around cities and vlog and show us. Also organic basics is an ISRAELI company 🥺.. we need to boycott this
Your wide angle lens is doing things to my eyes ^^. Other than that, glad to see you back (although we did just see future you posting your Swiss reel on IG in all its glory, and that was glorious indeed. Your cinematography levelled up with leaps and bounds, in it, I felt like I was in a vid from Life or Riza, someone I feel like you could totally do some golden collab with in the future). Happy 27, lovely young lady ! It's a great age (that's the year I left my world in Belgium behind me to go to work in animation in Taiwan, originally for 2-3 years, just to get some xp...and ended up staying there for 11 years ! So yeah, that was quite the leap of faith). And don't worry about not having been able to stay in China. I'm sorry things didn't work out immediately between you and your dad. Long lost family reconnection is already challenging as is (I had the same story when living at my dad's place for my first 2 years in Taiwan, after a very complicated relationship full of resentment/fear/anger with him ever since my childhood, but as both adults, we could somehow reconnect a bit more maturely in his last few years), but doing so in China, which, in and of itself, already has a very unique pile of challenges, both socio-economically and politically, to adapt to for someone who has grown up in the West on top of it all, c'est une autre paire de manche, comme on dit en Français... And it's definitely not for the faint of the heart ! So no shame if you felt overwhelmed and are now trying to do so little by little, as much as you can take it at once. As for actually finding a home base, I realized the longer I live in 2 different places (at least), the harder it is to truly take roots anywhere. When you're in one place, you always think of the other, how boring is the one you're at, and what it's missing compared to the other one ..and of course, it works the other way around ! So I'm guessing for a globe trotter like you, it must feel that, but times 10 ! Always keeping in mind all the places you've been through, living in your own little multiverse. Careful of not staying on the road for too long, coz the older you get, the harder it is to take roots. Good luck finding any place you can call home later. For me, the answer I found after years of questioning myself "where is home ?" Is the simplest one : Where my feet are. But of course, I guess it will also massively depend on if you actually find a lifelong partner to live with and build a family with. Then, travelling will become downright impossible for at least 5-6 years, so yeah, better choose carefully. Good thing you're now opening yourself to find someone serious. And yes, I also find it's absolutely better to try and meet people in real life through friends rather than online. I've seen the nascence of online dating about 20 years ago, and all these years, the concept itself never attracted me. I've only seen all its already bad aspects getting more and more degenerate throughout the years. All these swipes left & right, only toying with pixels portraits at the fingertips, without even glancing at their profile bios, no longer humans in the flesh, but just piles of jpegs... There's nothing humane in the process, and it sends a very dangerous signal to the brain that "yeah, I've got infinite choice, so like a videogame, I can browse ad vitam eternam for a few years before finding THE one with the biggest score !" Well, nope. Life is not a videogame, and it doesn't work like that. I've heard studies saying that gen Z has so grown up their whole lives talking to people through social media and their phones, that the art of actually go to talk irl to an actual potential dating partner seems to be a completely lost art for the entire generation... And I find that truly sad. I mean, I was not necessarily the best at it myself, but at least, during my time, it was still very much how everyone operated, and when it was smooth, there was some serious tingling happening in the spine and in the atmosphere. And it was glorious when it happened. (I personally had the most success in getting girls contacts in bookstores instead of bars and clubs... Go figure). So, it's good to hear you want to keep the looking for romance in the real world. I expected nothing less from the wholesome romantic you are ^^. Anyway, I've been ranting for long enough, sorry for your eyes. It's just that it's been a minute since last time I could chat with you, and I'm just blurting out months (if not decades) of thoughts and experience. Take good care of you, wherever on the planet you end up at, be it India, New York, China, Japan, France, or why the heck not Taiwan once again (I'm still gleefully looking forward to see one day your Taiwan chronicles, even though I'm not necessarily expecting it, it's already an old story, at this point, and life moves forward for everyone). Tous mes voeux de bonheur pour toi, belle demoiselle !
U must visit the state of Rajasthan (land of kings) . And winters are best to travel in this part of India. Here the forts , the sand dunes (jeep safari is a must), the food , music and culture , the stories and the legends and so much more.
Please please if you visit India, visit the north east part, you will not regret it. It's like a different country compared to other parts of India, and also way way way safer for women. You will love the nature, the people, the hospitality, the culture. I swear it's a whole different vibes there.
Please don't do solo travel in India 🙏🏼
Female safety is extra vulnerable in this place 😢
I want to second this
I third this 👍🏻
I'm super excited for you to come to India but also as an Indian I also kindly request you to double check everything for safety concerns as a solo traveller. But girl if possible visit our North East Region of India super beautiful and safe, I hope I get to meet you🥺
@@M-sy2yy I would definitely recommend my state first Arunachal Pradesh. Not just cause it’s the place I belong to but it has the most amazing views and tourists spots you can explore and then try Meghalaya loveee Meghalaya🤍
Yes yes she is going to love north east region
I feel like so many girls go through a "self improvement" phase in mid-later 20s because of (or at least partially because of) disappointing dating/relationship experiences, and I just have to put this here: you don't have to be perfect in order to have a reasonable and fulfilling relationship. Self improvement or whatever is best when the motivation is not tied up in how you come across to other people, but is actually truly for the self.
Yeah I also think it's a natural response to make ourselves feel better because break-ups and dating can obv make you insecure
The amount of obsessing and lists I made.. Organising every single thing I own, endless things I could change about my looks, my health, 100s of cool hobbys.. Ways to act, of course perfectly morally right and somehow more attractive and cool 🙄 Makes me want to be single and celibate so I can focus more on those things because they take time and effort- but why strive for perfection when in the end thats not the only way to be happy and being with another human being that I love does make me happy and feels more real than trying to conform to some clean girl aesthetic superwoman 😅
the almost cloudy color grading in your vids are always chef kisses
Her video aesthetic is second to none. I have asked her directly in another comment here how she does it so beautifully, and so I really hope she replies.

its so unsafeeee tho solo esp

Leah I would recommend you to visit Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh state in India as I remember you mentioning that your dad is a Tibetan Buddhist, there are a lot of Buddhist monasteries where Tibetan people lives in exile, it’s also a place where his holiness the14th Dalai Lama lives. Would highly recommend to visit there.💕
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, steve_porassss . I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is steve_porassss.
Oh my God, I'm so excited to watch your cinematic video 🌱✨
yt suggested. this was inspiring. cool video format too
Omg yess im also very excited for that you would want to come to my country India! I'm a history graduate and i love exploring cultures and meet new people, im so excited to meet you. You are my favourite youtuber ever! Waiting for you updates
Hi leah! I've always wondered how you color grade / if you use any LUTs for editing your videos. It always looks super cool and dreamy. Would love to know more about your color grading process! Thanks! Have a great day!
You're glowing!
I really do love your q+a… but i miss just the simple vlogs. When you used to bee bop around cities and vlog and show us.
Also organic basics is an ISRAELI company 🥺.. we need to boycott this
Your wide angle lens is doing things to my eyes ^^.
Other than that, glad to see you back (although we did just see future you posting your Swiss reel on IG in all its glory, and that was glorious indeed. Your cinematography levelled up with leaps and bounds, in it, I felt like I was in a vid from Life or Riza, someone I feel like you could totally do some golden collab with in the future).
Happy 27, lovely young lady !
It's a great age (that's the year I left my world in Belgium behind me to go to work in animation in Taiwan, originally for 2-3 years, just to get some xp...and ended up staying there for 11 years ! So yeah, that was quite the leap of faith).
And don't worry about not having been able to stay in China.
I'm sorry things didn't work out immediately between you and your dad. Long lost family reconnection is already challenging as is (I had the same story when living at my dad's place for my first 2 years in Taiwan, after a very complicated relationship full of resentment/fear/anger with him ever since my childhood, but as both adults, we could somehow reconnect a bit more maturely in his last few years), but doing so in China, which, in and of itself, already has a very unique pile of challenges, both socio-economically and politically, to adapt to for someone who has grown up in the West on top of it all, c'est une autre paire de manche, comme on dit en Français... And it's definitely not for the faint of the heart !
So no shame if you felt overwhelmed and are now trying to do so little by little, as much as you can take it at once.
As for actually finding a home base, I realized the longer I live in 2 different places (at least), the harder it is to truly take roots anywhere. When you're in one place, you always think of the other, how boring is the one you're at, and what it's missing compared to the other one ..and of course, it works the other way around !
So I'm guessing for a globe trotter like you, it must feel that, but times 10 ! Always keeping in mind all the places you've been through, living in your own little multiverse.
Careful of not staying on the road for too long, coz the older you get, the harder it is to take roots.
Good luck finding any place you can call home later. For me, the answer I found after years of questioning myself "where is home ?" Is the simplest one : Where my feet are.
But of course, I guess it will also massively depend on if you actually find a lifelong partner to live with and build a family with. Then, travelling will become downright impossible for at least 5-6 years, so yeah, better choose carefully.
Good thing you're now opening yourself to find someone serious.
And yes, I also find it's absolutely better to try and meet people in real life through friends rather than online. I've seen the nascence of online dating about 20 years ago, and all these years, the concept itself never attracted me. I've only seen all its already bad aspects getting more and more degenerate throughout the years. All these swipes left & right, only toying with pixels portraits at the fingertips, without even glancing at their profile bios, no longer humans in the flesh, but just piles of jpegs... There's nothing humane in the process, and it sends a very dangerous signal to the brain that "yeah, I've got infinite choice, so like a videogame, I can browse ad vitam eternam for a few years before finding THE one with the biggest score !"
Well, nope. Life is not a videogame, and it doesn't work like that.
I've heard studies saying that gen Z has so grown up their whole lives talking to people through social media and their phones, that the art of actually go to talk irl to an actual potential dating partner seems to be a completely lost art for the entire generation... And I find that truly sad.
I mean, I was not necessarily the best at it myself, but at least, during my time, it was still very much how everyone operated, and when it was smooth, there was some serious tingling happening in the spine and in the atmosphere. And it was glorious when it happened.
(I personally had the most success in getting girls contacts in bookstores instead of bars and clubs... Go figure).
So, it's good to hear you want to keep the looking for romance in the real world. I expected nothing less from the wholesome romantic you are ^^.
Anyway, I've been ranting for long enough, sorry for your eyes. It's just that it's been a minute since last time I could chat with you, and I'm just blurting out months (if not decades) of thoughts and experience.
Take good care of you, wherever on the planet you end up at, be it India, New York, China, Japan, France, or why the heck not Taiwan once again (I'm still gleefully looking forward to see one day your Taiwan chronicles, even though I'm not necessarily expecting it, it's already an old story, at this point, and life moves forward for everyone).
Tous mes voeux de bonheur pour toi, belle demoiselle !
Hahaha yeah I’m excited to set some roots but keep the adventuring spirit alive!
I'm so glad to watch a new video! 😭😭
PLEASE BE SAFE ITS NOT VERY SAFE OUT HERE !!
how do you get the money to keep travelling? youtube?
"Your delulu is about you!" Haha best advice
U must visit the state of Rajasthan (land of kings) . And winters are best to travel in this part of India. Here the forts , the sand dunes (jeep safari is a must), the food , music and culture , the stories and the legends and so much more.

Hey Leah! I’d love to hear some of your podcasts and books recommendations
i lived both in Greenpoint and near Tompkins Sq.. this made me so nostalgic
I love your outfit!!
啊啊啊小魏终于更新了😍💙
Talking about meeting a stranger and scared they’re a psychopath with a cop in the background is kind of funny
I love the way this was filmed, so dreamlike. I would love to know the equipment that was used.
i wanna wear all the set : 3 they are so comfy and cute >
Please please if you visit India, visit the north east part, you will not regret it. It's like a different country compared to other parts of India, and also way way way safer for women. You will love the nature, the people, the hospitality, the culture. I swear it's a whole different vibes there.
Leahhh, i missed uu, you just look really happy and pretty❤❤
Aww thanks! I feel great!
