Here's a little breakdown of the cost of the trip: the trip includes 5 nights at two four star hotels, transport from the airport as well as transport to all of the activities that we'll be doing on the trip, a local city guide in Rome and a guide in Florence where we'll be touring a vineyard/farm and having a wine tasting. I believe at least 5 meals are included as well. I totally understand that the price might look crazy at first but this was quite literally the cheapest I was allowed to make it. I want the trip to be accessible for anyone interested and there are payment plans available so nobody has to pay the entire cost up front. Myself and the city guides will be taking care of all of the logistics so the trip should be as stress free as possible for everyone attending and I just think this is a really great opportunity to make community and travel with like minded individuals :)
Thank you for breaking it down, that explains things a lot better, is it open to people from the UK ?
@@judithscott9145 yeah it's open to absolutely everyone! I'd love to have you join us
Hey Lauren! I've actually had my eye on this. I am currently living in Rome and wouldn't need the transpos from the airport or the accommodation in Roma. Is there anyway I can get in touch with you about just paying for the guided stuff in Rome as well as the Florence part of the trip? tysm!
@@ImaniLove94 I'd love if you came! you can DM me on instagram (@bigbooklady) and we can chat more about the trip
it's always a good day when Lauren uploads
Would absolutely love if you posted a read with me style video? I love the ambiance you create and I can only imagine how that comforting and cozy essence would translate into a 30-60 minute video of you just hanging out, reading.
Sending you love from NY 🖤
thank you for this very calming vlog Lauren : .. )
i would love to see a tattoo tour video with meanings, stories and so on about your tattoos! they look so cool
I dont normally comment, but Lauren I must say that I absolutely LOVE your vlogs, the aesthetics of your videos, and the beautiful ambient music!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You are amazing ❤
I must be the only one that dislikes the music and wish she would change it...i find it creepy and depressing...im trying to enjoy nonetheless but it does really bother me....
I found your channel recently and I must say I'm obsessed!!! so calming and comforting to watch ♥
oh my gosh i just realized by the intro that you watch moya as well!! i love that especially since i recently started watching you !
LOVE your sofa!!!
i feel so so happy everytime you post ♥️
having breakfast to ur vlogs is always a good start. sending much love 🤍🌸 xx
I've been watching your videos religiously for months 🍃 after a long day I just drink my coffee and enjoy the little things you share with us, im really grateful because I leave your videos feeling better, like i spent some time with a friend 🤎 PD: Red looks amazing on you! now every time I see this color I think of you haha ⚘️
The couch is gorgeous and it looks super comfy! I think red looks beautiful on you ❤
Tree-cō (Tricot)....stellar thrift finds! You have such a good eye.
the lil catnip bubbles are honestly so great! i cat sit a lot for my best friend and her cats love them so much and keep them pretty chill! love your videos lauren, and loooove your apartment! :-)
If it’s not on there already, completely recommend the Neapolitan quartet by Elena Ferrante for your Italy trip!
It is! one of my all time favourites :)
Your videos are always so comforting to watch. Thank you so much for creating them
I love your vlogs so much. Your apartment is looking perfect already.
seeing you watching moya's yt videos makes me so happy ahh! like my two favorite creators on this platform having a mini crossover episode lol
i would love a video with recipes from you! or a little section with a recipe on each video :-) love your content so much, it feels calming, inspiring and refreshing
It may be a totally cliché suggestion but “Call me by your name” is set in Italy and an amazing hot summer vacation read. I read it while travelling in Spain two years ago
it's in the pile :)
I was coming to comment the same 😂! Not cliche at all, it is an incredible work! ❤
Amazing thrift haul! You found so many great items!
That color looks stunning on you with the dark hair!!
I love the trip idea. I hope one day, if you plan it again, I can join. It sounds like such fun and it would be a great way to meet people.
I also have the narrowest feet in the world. Birkenstock makes a custom narrow AA fit. I got some and they’re perfect!
I've been thinking about popping over to the thrift store all weekend and I'm taking your amazing thrift haul as a sign. Also your apartment is looking so cool!
Please please release the reading list when it's done/after your trip ! I'm going to Italy in the summer and I'd love to get in the summer holiday mood
Oh wow i love your vibe 🦋
I absolutely adore watching these vlogs; they’re so relaxing 💗 I would love to see your book collection! I’ve found some of my absolute favourites from your recommendations!!
I noticed a lot of influencers being sponsored to do trovatrips. Wonder if they’re a new travel company trying to spread the word (like Hello Fresh, Nord VPN, Audible, etc when they were up and coming).Hope you’ll record the trip! maybe I’ll consider signing up next year, if available ❤❤ love your vlogs🥰
I definitely know what you mean, before they reached out to me I was seeing trova all over social media. I'll absolutely be filming the whole thing and would love to have you join in the future!
love love love
Hey, Lauren! I love your dinner outfit and the red shirt is so beautiful 😍
Joni is so cute :) My little furry friend does the same - she wants to cuddle all the time or play or eat :D As a thrift shop addict I really enjoyed your little haul - black shoes are so beautiful ❤ And the new couch looks super cozy like a big cloud. Thanks for another great video Lauren!
My cat does the same thing when I’m wfh or studying, can’t get anything done unless I go work at a coffee shop or library haha
the thrift haul
I hope you love your trip to Rome. My mother lives there. loved this vlog :)
I love all the music! We need a Spotify playlist of the music you use for your videos ❤
I love your kitchen table and your couch is adorable and Joni is precious and I want that coffee maker that you have. Do you only drink decaf or is that just for like at night or like after a certain time when you still want coffee but you don't want the caffeine?
I just added Molly to my tbr after reading a review in the NYTimes! Can't wait to see what you think of it
The little noises Joni makes
ahh i’m going to italy in june ! but would have loved to go with you! hopefully it’s the first of many trips
I hope you have a great time and yes I'm really hoping to host another one in the future
Where did you purchase your lounge? It looks amazing 🥺😍
I am trying to get back into ready after having spent so much time in research. Do you have any recommendations?
omg you don't understand how much I want to go to that trip 😭😭😭 wish I could afford it right now, you have to do another one in the future when I'm in my rich era!
I would love if you could come! There's an option to pay in instalments if that helps. I just want everyone that's interested to be able to join :)
Last Summer in the City by Gianfranco Calligarich (1970!) So good and it takes place in Rome
thank you so much!
What hair dye do you use? Its such a perfect shade!
I have narrow feet too. Birkenstocks make a narrow version of their shoes.
Stop I literally just bought that same bag of hot cereal and compliments craisins to eat with it lol
love❤
This is a bit off topic but i was wondering if you maybe have any tips on making friends in your late 20s? Your friends seems to be a big part of you life but you also seem to value your alone time and i would really want to get that balance right too :) always a pleasure to watch your vlogs
what brand are your penny loafers? i’ve been looking for a pair but not sure which are most comfy, love yours !
Black jacket is fire.
Such a cute vlog. So wholesome. My favourite kind of vlogs. I see you watch Moya too. My two favourite art history youtubers
I'm curious, do you have other TH-camrs rec ? Thank you :)
@AlizeeLage I actually do

Ok I haven’t finished the video yet but Still Life by Sarah Winman HAS to go on your reading list!!! It’s so good and such an easy read and it’s just so wonderful, it takes place in Florence after WW2 and it’s very much slice of life
thank you for much for the suggestion! that sounds perfect
Please tell me A Room with a View is on the reading list? It’s literally perfect for this
Oh my goodness, where is that lovely couch from?
i love your videos sm.
Yes second this, I really need to know
Where is your necklace in the beginning from !? I’ve been looking for something just like that ❤❤
where is your ball necklace from? it’s so cute
where'd you get that couch 🧐🤩
Damn I hope you do another group vacation next year!
where is this couch from!! It’s looks so comfy
please show us your books for europe trip. i want to read them too : )
How in the world do you find pants that fit that beautifully at the thrift store when you can't even try them on?!? Amazing
I noticed you posted this pretty late. Looks like we're both night owls! :)
Omg I actually work for TrovaTrip, I wanna come on your trip so bad!!!
Oh my gosh that's so cool! I would absolutely love if you came :)
Ehi Lauren, I'm Italian, can I come and say hi?
Is there a formula to join for part of the trip?
😊
Ahh my partner works at Moe’s and we have the exact same couch in blue! Hope you love! 💕
whats the name of the couch!!

Oooh where did you get your couch from?

Hi Lauren, curious where your chain is from? It’s beautiful!
Justine Clenquet :)
what did you think of "molly"? i read brodak's book "bandit" recently and really liked it
where's your couch from? i've been in the market for one for the longest time, and that couch seems to check all the right boxes!
Where is the couch from ?

can you please please please link your couch

I have noticed, that you have great balance between introverted time at home and going outside/socializing. Is it natural for you, or you have to push yourself? BTW: Birkenstocks have special line for narrow feets.
Hi Lauren, do you have TH-camrs recommendations (except from Sarah Gray and Jenni Bourn)? I really like your vlogs and would love to watch similar videos 😊
Lmk if you need recommendations for the best places in Florence:))
yes please! I would love any restaurant, book shop or fun activity recommendations that you've got
Tricot in french is pronounced "tree-koh" hehe :)
How do you afford university plus living solo and now a European vacation?
Being an influencer
Someone explained in another comment, she gets paid to go on the trip as she is the influencer, other people going cover her costs as part of the price they're paying.
I am going to visit Rome in september for my honeymoon but if it wasn't for the financial aspect(usually for me as a german it wouldn't be that expensive to travel to italy) I would've loved to join you on the trip , it sounds like a dream!!
You should get your cat a sister!
Normal people and safe place
3k for 6 days?! Excl flights and food? I could fly to italy for €50 Love you but i’m sorry
I’m also really curious how the price is built up haha
Exactly i'm italian and 6 days here DO NOT cost 3k trust me. I spent 600 for 10 days in rome (flight, rented car and food included)
I mean flights would be a lot more expensive if she’s living in America/Canada but still 3k… that’s so much
It says flights are excluded from the price! So thats why im extra curious
The price includes accommodations at a hotel, an overnight stay and tour of a vineyard in Florence with a wine tasting, a local city guide that will be with us every day, all of our transportation while in Rome and a handful of meals at restaurants!
Maybe look into getting another cat around the same age as Joni. They can keep each other company while you study at home. At least for me, having two cats versus one doesn’t make much of a difference.
Sounds like Joni needs a friend! Or maybe to have access outside
