This is amazing Sammi. Is refreshing to see someone married with a kid taking a solo trip for their mental health and to cross over their own personal bucket list. Have time alone to think and reboot ❤😊 I've done it for the first time when I was single (after a toxic breakup nd toxic friends and loads of therapy) bt the excitement and feeling of accomplishment is very similar.
It's so refreshing to see a woman who is a mother taking time out for herself and for her mental health. It's a thing we all need time to time just be by our selves regroup and then we can be the best versions of ourselves for those around us.
Such an imperative point made in this video Sammi , it is possible to solo travel within you're relationship/marriage and alot more appreciated as a mother. This type of balance creates more positive energy within yourself and also refreshes your point of view on things. Would love to see more vlogs like this
When you were describing your anxiety about being in the hotel alone, the feeling of awkwardness eating alone at restaurants while solo traveling -- I thought I was hearing myself speak! It's crazy, I am EXACTLY the same way. I admire you for tackling these fears and also sharing your experience with us. I'm also so happy for you for being in therapy. I have been in therapy for a while and it's helped me enormously. You will feel better and find your balance, you are smart and sensitive and creative and it's only a matter of time and exploration. And if you ever take a trip to NYC, you have a fellow anxious friend to commiserate with
I’ve been on 5 solo trips and you learn a lot about yourself and you grow as a person. It’s one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Don’t feel guilty for leaving your family, it’s only a few nights and it’s same as a girls holiday away which I know lots of mums that do regular girls trips. Every human is entitled to their own time once in a while xxx
Sammi never feel bad about needing time to yourself. Mom guilt is real especially when your child is so young BUT it is necessary to recharge and reconnect with yourself. I did it and don't have any regrets at all. Now my daughter is 22 (I have a son 20 also) we have a very healthy relationship. PLUS, now that she is an adult (she says she's grownish lol) we get to take gown up girl trips together and that is priceless. Alone time helped me to be a better mom and a stronger woman for my children :)
I live in Copenhagen and it is always so much fun to see your city through someone else’s eyes. I actually got some inspiration from you 😊 Love from Copenhagen!!
No one can stop you, you're all the way up! I've only solo travelled a couple of times in my life, but it's so nice, and liberating. You feel so free! In my daily life I love going to fancy restaurants, cinema, cafes, etc. alone, it makes you feel quite powerful.
When I travelled to Copenhagen on my own as a student I had a really bad cold and a nice Danish lady took care of me at the hostel💖 It was an amazing trip! Right now I'm in the Alps with my family and sick as well, but I noticed it's a choice to enjoy your holidays anyway!
Your chat about solo travel is such wise words! You're brave and awesome and loving your entire travel series despite watching them years late haha. Take care, so glad you got to travel just before the pandemic also
I never normally post comments, however I wanted to thank you for sharing this video, because you have inspired me to solo travel more. Last weekend I went to Copenhagen for 3 nights and I had the most incredible time on my own. It was so empowering and I’ve now fallen in love with that city. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you ❤️
You should go somewhere sunny near the sea like Spain. Because you seem very anxious and nature and sun help to sooth the mind and renew your energy.I think you will benefit of some monthly alone time like go to a movie by yourself, go have a nice meal at a restaurant even going for a walk in a park. After some times you won't feel awkward to do things alone. Take care of you first otherwise you won't be able to take care of others ;)
I love the idea of taking time for yourself. I got married pretty young and started my family. I am a house wife working from home and I homeschool my children. Last summer I took a solo trip to San Diego and it was amazing. Almost like a reset! It’s so important to take care of your mental health 💕
"I don't know they gave me his one." House party.. " Jell,.. Can I come!!" I Love You. That is exactly what I would have thought. In both situations. I love you and that you real share with us. You are the best! Congrats, on going on your adventure. Thank you!
I travel solo a lot, both for work/studies and just for fun. I find that if you are afraid of feeling lonely, it’s always nice to stay in a hostel because it’s so easy to meet people there and you can go somewhere together or even just have a chat while making your food. And even if you don’t want to stay in dorms, many hostels also have private rooms. I personally also love the freedom of traveling solo. If you want to go somewhere or do something, you don’t have to ask the other people you’re traveling with if they’re up for it as well, you just do it. And yes, it’s good for self reflection and dealing with issues, because you spend a lot of time alone, while at the same time also meeting others (if you want to) who have different backgrounds and perspectives on life. It’s great! But yes, eating alone remains one of the less fun things of it, although watching something on my phone or reading helps for me. I hope this trip has been good for you, and many more will follow!
Absolutely loved watching your vlog! I also agree with taking the time out when needed from being a "mum" "wife" and everything else that comes with a title and just recharging, taking the time to get the much needed space and clear the head. I am someone who deals with mental health and its a constant battle but I take regular breaks when I know things are piling on in my head or its getting too much and I always feel so much happier returning to my normal life feeling much more content and happier :) x
Good on you Sam 💖 my Mum always made sure she set time aside for herself and I never knew why. Until now as an adult I totally get it and think I’d do the same thing too if I ever have kids. You’re authentic, honest and genuinely such a precious soul. An amazing role model if there ever was one x
I love solo traveling! It's does amazing things for your soul and mind, especially as a woman. There are many destinations that I think are great for traveling alone. One of my favorite destinations has been Japan, specifically Osaka. Going to a place where you don't speak the language, and you don't know anyone there can sort of force you out of your comfort zone.
Honestly I cherish the time I have alone. It’s so good for you in the long run, and I am so glad you did this and hope you continue to take good care of yourself!
oh my gosh, I couldn't be more excited and happy for you. I think its important to have quality time to yourself once in a while. I'm so thrilled for this video, noting down ideas to go to on my own. I love travelling. Fortunately, my work allows me to do so. I'm definitely getting inspired from this trip of yours. I couldn't help but laugh 11:52 , youre reaction was priceless. I had the same thought in my head. LOL! Again, I love that you're doing this experience on your own. Exploring and learning about yourself and going out of your comfort zone. Look forward to more of these vids. Love it!
I had that daze feeling when I went to NYC. I decided one day when I was 20 that I would go to NYC from Australia to a music festival, booked nothing but a flight and the festival ticket and had the best time in the world ! But still look back on it as a dream, doesn't feel real! x
Leonard Cohen is exceptional poet, musician, artist from my country - Canada. His song “Hallelujah” is iconic. Thinking back to when I was a young mom I wish I had travelled more on my own because I think you take in things differently when you are by yourself - more opportunity for mental and spiritual inspiration that can be good for us and for those closest to us. Hope you are feeling better.
I used to do a lot of solo trips (for work) before I had a kid but I am inspired to do it again just to recharge my batteries! :) Glad you took time for yourself - you deserve it!
What I love about this is that even though you know people will judge and we are all socialized as women to think we shouldn't have alone time when we become moms and wives, you still did it and you out it out. I truly feel like you and your channel provide TH-cam with something much needed, quality, depth and authenticity. Your channel is about so much more than clothes and content creation. It's about living breathing women and that is why we connect so well with you. I feel like you should be an editor or stylist in a big fashion magazine or house. You have so much authenticity to offer. 💞
Stupendous growth, Sammi! Learning to stand and sleep on your own are wonderful changes. You know that change is ever constant in this life. Cambio es muy bien. Where would we be without it? Trapped in a bad dream getting worse with each clip! I knew your excitement and apprehension when I traveled to the DR alone for my 60th birthday! I love these kind of videos. I vote for more! Tener un buen miércoles! ✈️
I did my first solo trip last year. Married with 3 children. My husband took over whilst I went away. It was so empowering I must say. Having to navigate travelling alone. Best thing I ever did. Totally recommend that everyone should experience travelling solo.
this is something I've wanted to do for so long but I still don't have the gut for it. seeing you (someone I admire and relate to) do it is so refreshing and relaxing
This is such an inspiration for me! I went through a tough time with my job and quit and suffered low times. In the time between my old and new job I had a week to myself, I contemplated getting away and trying solo travelling just for 2 or 3 days for an experience and to tick off my bucket list. However yet again, my overthinking and social anxiety put me off. But now I know it's not as scary as it seems. Thank you so much
I love your points about solo traveling! I've dreamt of doing it ever since i was 15 years old and while the idea has always been intimidating, I've always known it'd also be freeing. I really saw that in this vlog and I'm happy for you! BTW! I know you've already returned and that you'd planned the trip way before you got sick but it's unsafe traveling while ill... both for you and for others, but especially for you!!! Glad you're most likely better now, tho.
It’s amazing seeing you in Copenhagen Sammi! (I’m from Denmark (45 mins north of CPH)) and went to school in Copenhagen, so I know the city very, very well). Since I was about 17 (23 going on 24 now) I’ve visited London at least once a year alone. I just love it. London is my all time favorite city.
i admire your courage for doing this. As much as it sucks to say, travelling alone as a female is very daunting and something i feel all women need to do. I found eating out the hardest, once you have ordered your food and sit there thats the moment that it hit for me. Good work gal!
You seem way more comfortable vlogging here than you do in London. Really loved this video. There’s so many things I want to know like did you get bored at any point? What was the hardest thing about being solo for you? Do you want to do more solo trips? ❤️❤️
You are so stunning inside and out Sam! It was so inspiring to see you travel alone. I've always wanted to just take a trip solo but I'm scarrrrrred. Would really love to hear more about what you're going through mentally - lots of love xo
If you haven’t already watched the bridge/bron you have to! The show takes place in Copenhagen/Malmö and if you like the environments around copenhagen you’ll love it x
I've just commented on one of your previous videos and after 15 minutes you've posted a new one)) I'm so happy for you and I'm absolutely sure that everyone needs to have a single trip in life! I hope that after sometime I will be able to come back to work and earning my own money and I will definitely plan my single trip too. Meanwhile I cherish every moment of maternal leave and spending time with my baby. I wish you to feel better and healthy in all possible ways and have best memories from your trip!
loved every bit of this vlog! so glad you were able to get away. I know you weren't feeling well, but what a way to plow through and make the best of your time away. It's a very courageous, brave act and you should be proud. mom's NEED time away! Never, ever feel guilty about that!
Good for you for doing this! I'm a mom and wife as well and I find that I really need some alone time once in a while. Traveling by myself would be so nerve-wracking for me, so it's cool to see you do this for yourself!
Sammi! I hope you're okay! Have missed your shine, hope things start looking up for you soon❤️ you have brought me so many smiles over the years and I wish nothing but the best for you ❤️❤️
What a lovely travel vlog, Sammi. You totally deserve some time on your own anf I think you're really brave for stepping out of your comfort zone to travel on your own. Taking care of your mental health is so important! ❤️
Copenhagen is a great city for a solo trip i think! But definitely agree on going out for food on my own especially at proper restaurants, even though I wouldn't even bat an eye at anyone else eating alone🙈 Loved seeing around and getting some recommendations as I am actually moving near Copenhagen very soon 😊
I did my first solo trip last year, only to London but it was one my highlights of last year, cause it was something I didn't think I could or would ever do. I am planning on doing a few more this year and the future to really push myself out my comfort zone.
Sammi! That's so cool you went to CPH again! I live here! I really enjoyed your perception of this city, and you actually showed some good new coffee spots for me to visit! I went on my own first weekend solo trip to Cologne in December and I totally felt you here hehe. Thank you for being you and I'll be looking forward to see upcoming solo trips!
Sam😍 I loved everything about this vlog, I loved how it was so personal & genuine. I think it’s cool to take some self care time to yourself and honestly really healthy for the mind. Hope you can take more trips like this in the future!
Praying for you love! I haven’t stopped by for some time now, but it feel right to do so today, our mantels can really do us in at times🙄 thanks for sharing, your beautiful your powerful your amazing blessings 🥰❤️
Amazing!!! I started traveling solo right when I turned 18! It can be scary at times being a woman but I’ve learned so much and have met so many new friends around the country! I plan on going on another mini trip by myself in a few weeks! It’s good and healthy to have time by yourself! ❤️☮️‼️💟💫🌸🌄
So excited. Going on my first solo weekend (been doing volunteering and language trips but then you still live with a group of other people) to Krakow in a few weeks. For the exact same reasons you mentioned.
Congrats on your first solo trip! I love it; been traveling solo at least once a year for some time. Its a great way to decompress and refocus...#selfcare. Thanks for sharing!
Solo travel is awesome. As soon as I got my car I booked a ferry ticket to Dublin and had a mini Irish road trip. I need to do more solo trips though x
I love this city so much! I also solo travelled to Cph this year for 2 weeks it was an amazing experience ! Actually it was your first vlog of Cph that made me want to go, i hope you enjoyed it this time and hope you get better xx
Brilliant Sammi, more people should do solo trips...there’s so many advantages. The only time I don’t like it as much is in the evening - I personally wouldn’t go to a fancy restaurant solo. Xx
I have always wanted to try a solo trip away. I feel like it’s so refreshing and good for your mind to just be in your own space! Hope you enjoyed your trip! 🙋🏽💖✨ xxx
I´m going on my first ever solo trip to Scotland in a couple weeks and this was so helpful, idk just seeing the raw and real reactions to being alone and travelling on your own... idk I loved it, and I love you xx
Oh, Leonard Cohen was so cool. My daughter is doing Music Performance at school and did an assignment on him. Very interesting man. One song of his you’ll definitely know is Hallelujah from Shrek. What a lovely trip you had. I wish I had the courage to travel solo. Also wish I lived somewhere where I could just travel solo to another country. Bit impossible in Australia though.
Yes please do a video on what was going on for you mentally. I was in a bad place last year mentally I think it was turning 30 that did it. It made me look back on my twenties what I felt I did wrong what I should have done I spent a whole year being in the past and not present, I decided to go to therapy, I wanted to do a trip by myself last year but my mental health wasn’t great so I’m gonna go this year! I’m still not 100% but I’m trying to work on me for me, and have and amazing year!
It's too bad you didn't know who Leonard Cohen was so you could really enjoy the exhibit! He was a Canadian singer, songwriter, poet and novelist amongst other things. His most well-known song is "Hallelujah" which we all know in its many incarnations throughout the years. He was hugely influential through his music and songwriting, tackling issues of social justice, politics, war, etc in his art in general. I hope you have a chance to listen to some of his music because he was a Canadian gem.
Aw sammi i loved this vlog! Been watching you for years and years girl! From NYC and love to solo travel but I’ve never been to Copenhagen so i def enjoyed seeing what you got up to and where you went. Appreciated you giving us the names of all the spots too, thank you! Also loved watching you practice all that self care and taking time for yourself. So so important. 💕
Sammi love!! 💕 This was really powerful for me, thank you for sharing this experience!! I have a hard time exploring the world around me on my own- but this has completely inspired me to step outside the box! You are such a beautiful soul, keep up the good work my dear. Blessings on your day! ❤️❤️
This is awesome, Sam! I can't wait to go on my own solo trip to New York in a few weeks! 😍 I have a bunch of fun things planned, but I knowing me, I'll embrace whatever adventures cross my path.
next time you come to Copenhagen, please allow yourself a day to visit Louisiana museum of modern art - it is spectacular not only interns of exhibitions, but also its architectural placement by the sea and nice boutique and a cafeteria inside. you will love it. also, do not waste your money on taxi in CPH, use metro (including going to the airport from the city) - it is in fact faster and so much cheaper
Loved this vid. Sometimes you have to just go for it and see where life takes you so well done. I have a 9 month old baby and you have definitely given me some inspiration.
Yes to solo traveling! I’ve been wanting to do the same and I’ve been planning to visit Canada since it is a few hours from home. It’s so important to take time for you and your mental health!
Watching this in March 2022 about to go go on my first solo trip in 3 years….to Copenhagen! Also I gasped when hearing you in Feb 2020 say you’ve got a virus 😧😂 obviously we had no idea at that point what was going on lol. You’re giving me outfit inspo for my trip and getting me so excited to go!
That was so refreshing to see Sammi! 😊 Even though I've been solo travelling quite a few times, I could really relate to your little nervous moment on Saturday morning before going out. It all can be very daunting while you're still in your own "safe space" (e.g. hotel room), but normally as soon as you go out everything falls into place. I loved seeing you exploring Copenhagen and getting more and more comfortable on your own. I wish you all the best 💕
I've traveled on my own before but only to English speaking countries so always been a bit scared to go alone to Europe. Copenhagen has been top of my list though so it was really interesting to see this video.
You're so inspiring and refreshing Sam! I really want to do an abroad trip on my own. Ridiculously, the thing that puts me off is eating alone, especially in the evening. I just feel so conspicuous! X
Please do a video on solo travel! Through the years I've been on 4 or 5 trips by myself, but nothing outside Calif. I want and need to explore the State's and Europe, though it's difficult to make myself actually book a trip. It's definitely outside of my comfort zone! So sorry you weren't feeling well.
Lol my Dad loves Leonard Cohen’s music,. Cohen passed away 3/4years ago and my Dad played his music the whole week. Laughing at your reaction to his ramblings..he was a bit odd I think. I grew up on Sunday mornings waking up to Leonard Cohen, Hugh Masekela, Miles Davis, Abdullah Ibrahim and the likes blasting through our house, cause my dad💕
This is amazing Sammi. Is refreshing to see someone married with a kid taking a solo trip for their mental health and to cross over their own personal bucket list. Have time alone to think and reboot ❤😊
I've done it for the first time when I was single (after a toxic breakup nd toxic friends and loads of therapy) bt the excitement and feeling of accomplishment is very similar.
Are they still together c
@@f.m.9732 No, they aren't 😣
@@f.m.9732 she said they're separated
Good for you Sammi. You cannot be the Mum you need to be without looking after YOU! Sending love x
It's so refreshing to see a woman who is a mother taking time out for herself and for her mental health. It's a thing we all need time to time just be by our selves regroup and then we can be the best versions of ourselves for those around us.

Personally I found myself through eating alone and solo hotel staying during a solo trip. Maybe you guys had a purpose back home and missed it?
I’ve been on 5 solo trips and you learn a lot about yourself and you grow as a person. It’s one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

I live in Copenhagen and it is always so much fun to see your city through someone else’s eyes. I actually got some inspiration from you 😊 Love from Copenhagen!!
only half way thru but yesssss betch solo trips are so fulfilling and/or eye opening. emotions are running high lately for me too! you deserve it x
No one can stop you, you're all the way up! I've only solo travelled a couple of times in my life, but it's so nice, and liberating. You feel so free! In my daily life I love going to fancy restaurants, cinema, cafes, etc. alone, it makes you feel quite powerful.

It’s amazing seeing you in Copenhagen Sammi! (I’m from Denmark (45 mins north of CPH)) and went to school in Copenhagen, so I know the city very, very well). Since I was about 17 (23 going on 24 now) I’ve visited London at least once a year alone. I just love it. London is my all time favorite city.
i admire your courage for doing this. As much as it sucks to say, travelling alone as a female is very daunting and something i feel all women need to do. I found eating out the hardest, once you have ordered your food and sit there thats the moment that it hit for me. Good work gal!
You seem way more comfortable vlogging here than you do in London. Really loved this video. There’s so many things I want to know like did you get bored at any point? What was the hardest thing about being solo for you? Do you want to do more solo trips? ❤️❤️
You are so stunning inside and out Sam! It was so inspiring to see you travel alone. I've always wanted to just take a trip solo but I'm scarrrrrred. Would really love to hear more about what you're going through mentally - lots of love xo
If you haven’t already watched the bridge/bron you have to! The show takes place in Copenhagen/Malmö and if you like the environments around copenhagen you’ll love it x
It's always so interesting seeing Copenhagen through tourists' eyes!! I hope you enjoyed your time here!! Xx
I've just commented on one of your previous videos and after 15 minutes you've posted a new one))
I'm so happy for you and I'm absolutely sure that everyone needs to have a single trip in life! I hope that after sometime I will be able to come back to work and earning my own money and I will definitely plan my single trip too. Meanwhile I cherish every moment of maternal leave and spending time with my baby.
I wish you to feel better and healthy in all possible ways and have best memories from your trip!
loved every bit of this vlog! so glad you were able to get away. I know you weren't feeling well, but what a way to plow through and make the best of your time away. It's a very courageous, brave act and you should be proud. mom's NEED time away! Never, ever feel guilty about that!
Good for you for doing this! I'm a mom and wife as well and I find that I really need some alone time once in a while. Traveling by myself would be so nerve-wracking for me, so it's cool to see you do this for yourself!
Sammi! I hope you're okay! Have missed your shine, hope things start looking up for you soon❤️ you have brought me so many smiles over the years and I wish nothing but the best for you ❤️❤️
What a lovely travel vlog, Sammi. You totally deserve some time on your own anf I think you're really brave for stepping out of your comfort zone to travel on your own. Taking care of your mental health is so important! ❤️
Copenhagen is a great city for a solo trip i think! But definitely agree on going out for food on my own especially at proper restaurants, even though I wouldn't even bat an eye at anyone else eating alone🙈 Loved seeing around and getting some recommendations as I am actually moving near Copenhagen very soon 😊
I did my first solo trip last year, only to London but it was one my highlights of last year, cause it was something I didn't think I could or would ever do. I am planning on doing a few more this year and the future to really push myself out my comfort zone.
Sammi! That's so cool you went to CPH again! I live here! I really enjoyed your perception of this city, and you actually showed some good new coffee spots for me to visit! I went on my own first weekend solo trip to Cologne in December and I totally felt you here hehe. Thank you for being you and I'll be looking forward to see upcoming solo trips!
Sam😍 I loved everything about this vlog, I loved how it was so personal & genuine. I think it’s cool to take some self care time to yourself and honestly really healthy for the mind. Hope you can take more trips like this in the future!
Praying for you love! I haven’t stopped by for some time now, but it feel right to do so today, our mantels can really do us in at times🙄 thanks for sharing, your beautiful your powerful your amazing blessings 🥰❤️
Amazing!!! I started traveling solo right when I turned 18! It can be scary at times being a woman but I’ve learned so much and have met so many new friends around the country! I plan on going on another mini trip by myself in a few weeks! It’s good and healthy to have time by yourself! ❤️☮️‼️💟💫🌸🌄
So excited. Going on my first solo weekend (been doing volunteering and language trips but then you still live with a group of other people) to Krakow in a few weeks. For the exact same reasons you mentioned.
Loved the video, this reminded me of eat, pray, love a little bit. Here's hoping your trip was fulfilling
Congrats on your first solo trip! I love it; been traveling solo at least once a year for some time. Its a great way to decompress and refocus...#selfcare. Thanks for sharing!
Solo travel is awesome. As soon as I got my car I booked a ferry ticket to Dublin and had a mini Irish road trip. I need to do more solo trips though x
i love sam so much and watching her grow has been amazing
Love the video. I travel solo all the time. I think it’s the one most valuable thing you can do for yourself. I love it. ❤️
I love this city so much! I also solo travelled to Cph this year for 2 weeks it was an amazing experience ! Actually it was your first vlog of Cph that made me want to go, i hope you enjoyed it this time and hope you get better xx
Good for you girl!! When you were posting on Insta about going on a solo trip I was thinking how lovely of an idea it is. ❤❤❤
Brilliant Sammi, more people should do solo trips...there’s so many advantages. The only time I don’t like it as much is in the evening - I personally wouldn’t go to a fancy restaurant solo. Xx
You’re so beautiful, you’re a good mum, you deserve this❤️
Waiting on your solo travel video! I'm heading to Europe in a few days solo. I'm so excited.
I have always wanted to try a solo trip away. I feel like it’s so refreshing and good for your mind to just be in your own space! Hope you enjoyed your trip! 🙋🏽💖✨ xxx
June Stay i agree! Small youtuber here 💕💕
I´m going on my first ever solo trip to Scotland in a couple weeks and this was so helpful, idk just seeing the raw and real reactions to being alone and travelling on your own... idk I loved it, and I love you xx
burntsoup oo that's so nice. I'm going to Edinburgh so that's gonna be exciting. I know no one and nothing about the place so wish me luck x
burntsoup omg thank you so much! This is just brilliant! Can't wait xxx
Oh, Leonard Cohen was so cool. My daughter is doing Music Performance at school and did an assignment on him. Very interesting man. One song of his you’ll definitely know is Hallelujah from Shrek. What a lovely trip you had. I wish I had the courage to travel solo. Also wish I lived somewhere where I could just travel solo to another country. Bit impossible in Australia though.
Yes please do a video on what was going on for you mentally. I was in a bad place last year mentally I think it was turning 30 that did it. It made me look back on my twenties what I felt I did wrong what I should have done I spent a whole year being in the past and not present, I decided to go to therapy, I wanted to do a trip by myself last year but my mental health wasn’t great so I’m gonna go this year! I’m still not 100% but I’m trying to work on me for me, and have and amazing year!
It's too bad you didn't know who Leonard Cohen was so you could really enjoy the exhibit! He was a Canadian singer, songwriter, poet and novelist amongst other things. His most well-known song is "Hallelujah" which we all know in its many incarnations throughout the years. He was hugely influential through his music and songwriting, tackling issues of social justice, politics, war, etc in his art in general. I hope you have a chance to listen to some of his music because he was a Canadian gem.
Aw sammi i loved this vlog! Been watching you for years and years girl! From NYC and love to solo travel but I’ve never been to Copenhagen so i def enjoyed seeing what you got up to and where you went. Appreciated you giving us the names of all the spots too, thank you! Also loved watching you practice all that self care and taking time for yourself. So so important. 💕
Sammi love!! 💕 This was really powerful for me, thank you for sharing this experience!! I have a hard time exploring the world around me on my own- but this has completely inspired me to step outside the box! You are such a beautiful soul, keep up the good work my dear. Blessings on your day! ❤️❤️
Ahna Kennedy agreed! Small youtuber here ❤️
This is awesome, Sam! I can't wait to go on my own solo trip to New York in a few weeks! 😍
I have a bunch of fun things planned, but I knowing me, I'll embrace whatever adventures cross my path.
this was such a perfect mix of a relaxing but inspiring video, never wanted it to end
next time you come to Copenhagen, please allow yourself a day to visit Louisiana museum of modern art - it is spectacular not only interns of exhibitions, but also its architectural placement by the sea and nice boutique and a cafeteria inside. you will love it. also, do not waste your money on taxi in CPH, use metro (including going to the airport from the city) - it is in fact faster and so much cheaper
I love solo travel! It's definitely good for the soul
Good for you, Sammi! I’ve been watching you for a while, and I love your Vlogs. 💓
I love solo travel! It's great going with friends and family, but I find so much freedom in just going by myself sometimes.
I think solo travel is amazing and fun
Loved this vid. Sometimes you have to just go for it and see where life takes you so well done. I have a 9 month old baby and you have definitely given me some inspiration.
So good to see you put yourself first Sammy❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes to solo traveling! I’ve been wanting to do the same and I’ve been planning to visit Canada since it is a few hours from home. It’s so important to take time for you and your mental health!
I live in Canada with you being American your dollar goes further here and it's quite safe here as well
starshine thank you for the tips!
Watching this in March 2022 about to go go on my first solo trip in 3 years….to Copenhagen! Also I gasped when hearing you in Feb 2020 say you’ve got a virus 😧😂 obviously we had no idea at that point what was going on lol. You’re giving me outfit inspo for my trip and getting me so excited to go!
I'd love to take a solo trip! Can't stress enough how important it is to take the time you need to recharge
You've mentioned you have been going through some stuff for a while now. Really hope you're ok. Xxc
Been waiting for this video!! Excited to watch 😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻
That was so refreshing to see Sammi! 😊 Even though I've been solo travelling quite a few times, I could really relate to your little nervous moment on Saturday morning before going out. It all can be very daunting while you're still in your own "safe space" (e.g. hotel room), but normally as soon as you go out everything falls into place. I loved seeing you exploring Copenhagen and getting more and more comfortable on your own. I wish you all the best 💕
I've traveled on my own before but only to English speaking countries so always been a bit scared to go alone to Europe. Copenhagen has been top of my list though so it was really interesting to see this video.
i’m going to copenhagen tomorrow alone and i’m so nervous but excited it’s my first solo trip and i’m only 18!!
You're so inspiring and refreshing Sam! I really want to do an abroad trip on my own. Ridiculously, the thing that puts me off is eating alone, especially in the evening. I just feel so conspicuous! X
I think we all need to do this more often. I also feel very awkward and afraid of doing things on my own
love this video...I found it really inspirational! Would love to visit one day!
Please do a video on solo travel! Through the years I've been on 4 or 5 trips by myself, but nothing outside Calif. I want and need to explore the State's and Europe, though it's difficult to make myself actually book a trip. It's definitely outside of my comfort zone! So sorry you weren't feeling well.
Omg this brings back some many amazing memories! Copenhagen is the best city
Omg I love Leonard Cohen your reaction to the exhibition is hilarious 😆
You so deserved this trip!!! Been a subscriber for yeaaaars and I love seeing your travels and experiences ✨ You’re such an inspiration x
*looks up flights to Copenhagen* 🥰🥰🥰
Lol my Dad loves Leonard Cohen’s music,. Cohen passed away 3/4years ago and my Dad played his music the whole week. Laughing at your reaction to his ramblings..he was a bit odd I think. I grew up on Sunday mornings waking up to Leonard Cohen, Hugh Masekela, Miles Davis, Abdullah Ibrahim and the likes blasting through our house, cause my dad💕
