To summarize: Riza is talented, creative, inspirational, introverted, natural, thoughtful, mindful, calm, lovely and, beautiful. Love her vids, these are exactly what I desire on youtube.
The way you and Colt integrate the artistic views of your lives in transition with your video sponsors is beyond me, this video told an amazing story along side being sponsored by headspace. Hope y'all continue to bring this new light into the TH-cam space and inspire everyones creative side within this platform :)
It's great seeing other creators on the platform use your videos as a way to show how TH-cam is slowly shifting. Your vidoes have this post-pandemic slow approach to life to them and I'm here for it 🙌
Went on 6 solo trips abroad this year and honestly visiting new countries solo and meeting new people really opens your eyes to experiences you miss out on when following the crowd. Glad you enjoyed your time in the cottage :)
@@ethan-scott I would personally recommend walking tours, when I go abroad solo I go for 1 walking tour and see if I meet anyone whilst learning about the city. The bonus with this is at the end of the tour the guide will 99% recommend a restaurant where you can go if any other solo travellers are on the tour. Alternatively try to push your comfort zone and stay in hostels, cheaper and less privacy but great for making friendships along the way.
“At some points I’m questioning all my decisions, and the next I’m feeling like I’m right where I should be.” Really resonated with me! I’ve just found your channel, but I really like how unique your channel and content feels. I wish you all the best!
Working a stressful job helped me appreciate solitude. This clip is filled with ideas of what I can possibly apply to my own life; such as, visiting a local coffee shop with a journal or simply cleaning up my space for an uncluttered mind. Thank you for these lessons and reminders!
Nova Scotia is my favourite province in Canada. It's hard to describe, but there's this amazing combo of calm and adventure. So many peaceful outdoor experiences.
Solo trips are the best, especially for clearing my mind and resetting. I still do have fear of feeling lonely as you mentioned but once I get to my destination, I usually find something to do to keep myself busy with things to do in the area. Great way to meet new people too.
The way you tell stories is so real and relatable. So refreshing in a culture distracted by more superficial things. Your approach is refreshing af, keep inspiring, I can't say it enough!!!!
There's nothing wrong with traveling solo. It helps to take a break from people and do things at your own pace without the pressure of everyday life. Sounds like it was pretty amazing. Nice video.
4 years of working, quick break in between, burnt out. Thanks to my colleague for sharing your video, it reminded me to spend time with myself. That last I had a quick solo trip was last year. Long drive, I miss it very much. You've inspired me once again. Thanks to that colleague too!
Riza you posted this video just at the right time. I'm at a point of my life where there's no one for me and hence I decided to explore solitude. You are my biggest inspiration Riza❤
I try to get a way like this at least a couple of times per year. It is a great feeling to step out of your life and look back at it from "the outside", and reflect on the direction you are going.
I just found you like a week ago and my life has already changed. You offered ne another perspective of things and of life. Made me feel better about myself. Made me rethink mg deepest beliefs. And in the end, made me feel good about myself and the world around me. And somewhat a bit simpler, I love the cinematography in your videos! Gives them a truly unique experience. Thank you, Riza.
Something so magical about travelling on your own. It's one of those shifts I hope to see in the coming years where this becomes more normalized. It's great to travel with others and all, and in an ideal world, you get to do both. But some isolation and time where you HAVE to just THINK... that's where the magic lies, for introverts and extroverts alike (and everyone else on the spectrum). So good to see you gain clarity from your trip; a great way to end the year ❤
Love how a little think-time solo escape had a nice story, and was so well captured to make it feel refreshing. Seeking solitude, or a break from routine doesn't alway require traveling far away. Finding a new location from usual routine be it a coffee shop, or park can bring a fresh perspective. Alternatively a 1.-3 day getaway at local rental can provide a bit of adventure and fresh environment away from routines.
Hi Kariza 👋, I remember I used to feel awkward about myself and the thought of enjoying my own company when I was younger. But what I’ve learned about spending time alone is that I get to really dig deep and reflect on who I truly am as a person and what I want for myself and my life. Like you said at 10:46, we see who we are when we’re not around anyone else and in a place where no one knows us. I’d like to add that in an interesting way, we also realize that we know ourselves better than the people who know us. It looks like you enjoyed your think week, and maybe you learned a lot more about yourself while you were at it. (I hope you did both! 😁) Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗
there's so much going on with my life right now and only thing i wanted to hear was - "if you're wondering if it ever gets better, it does". It felt so good and optimistic. Thanks Kariza!!
Honestly, Everything about your videos give me inspiration and just a feeling I can’t explain. The breathtaking shots and beautiful lighting just feels like a breath of fresh air. You are someone I look up to as a role model for the building of my own life, If I struggle with anything throughout my days your videos clear my mind. Thank you! from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time and dedication in each story you share to the world. 😊❤️
Finding you on TH-cam was the best thing that has ever happened to me...thank you Kariza for making me believe that life is so much more than what I really thought it would be
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,495 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
@@InnerPeaceSounds Thank you! What I really focus on is the value of the content and what I’m truly passionate about while helping others! I'm glad that I'm foolish enough to believe that I can actually start making money through my passions. I've never thought that I'd be able to gain more than 2k subs faster. I can't imagine how many opportunities could have been wasted if I didn't have courage to go after them. That includes having this channel, being in a management role, having the people who actually care about me for who I am, freelance gigs, being an ambassador in a creative community and now I'm also planning on honing my public speaking skills through joining a toastmaster club and these all happened in 2023. It started with writing them all down on a piece of paper. A paper that serves as a reminder for me to go after what I want even through hard times. I'm not bragging about my accomplishments but simply hoping that this message can also inspire others to believe in themselves.
soooo good to be back 🫶🏼 if you want to try out headspace for 60 days then use my code ‘RIZA60’ at headspace-web.app.link/e/LoR60 !! thank you for all your support on my videos 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I could never go on a solo trip, I’m so proud of you ❤. Me, I just feel the need to share the experience with someone close outside of myself, whether it’s good or bad, hehe. You are right, about solitude and the importance of keeping with your own pace in life, even if it means you have to pause and stay away from the noise until you hear yourself again. Wishing you the best of the things that you love to do Riza! ❤
Your videos are a work of art. Packed with stunning visuals and a beautiful message! So glad you got to do this think week and were able to share it with us.
Wow! This video was so calming and super inspirational. Thanks Riza for creating these beautiful videos. You’re unlike anybody I’ve seen on TH-cam. You’re one of a kind 😊 keep up the great work girl. :)
This is such a beautiful and calming video! Thank you for inspiring Riza! I definitely took some new insights from this. I also started travelling alone a few years ago and I absolutely love it. :)
*me:* _immediately plans a think-week_ Loved this SO much, Riza. So happy you were able to bring your wish to life 🥹. Looking forward to the ideas that were created during this think-week ☺.
I need to travel. It's been almost 2 years since I took a decent vacation and I miss not being always tied to a strict routine. Not being bombarded with the thoughts of work the first thing when I wake up is such an amazing and relaxing feeling.
As someone who loves movies and really pays attention to all the details in a scene, your song/music selection is the best. It only ever elevates the shot or whatever you are saying in the moment. Awesome stuff Riza.
Wah, that montage with opening the window and the music. All the little details. The shadow on your face from the curtain's patterns. The little pose after opening the window. Somehow, I felt it, that emotion you were trying to convey.
i have been a silent analyzer of your videos kariza. i love your videos to my heart. just at 1:44 the sound effect of the cup came a bit early than it had to. it really doesnt matter and almost everybody ignored that detail. i just pointed out because of your love towards attention to detail which i personally admire a lot. cheers:)
Your videos have this light and warm feeling. Almost like I’m being hugged by someone wearing a soft sweater during fall. Everything from the tone you use and the music just makes watching your videos feel like a small therapy session. Keep up the great work💚
superb video riza! and i couldnt agree more! i went on a solo trip every year since 2018 and it is truly a magical experience! everyone should try it. unfortunately i couldnt manage to go this year and i notice now, that i miss it more than anything else. so hopefully next year again
I really love your channel. The topics, the visuals (always pretty), your voice, your personality, the hard work for every video... You're doing amazing. Thanks ❤
My 2 takeaways from this video: 1. I need a think week 2. Banana Bread is essential Haha but in all seriousness as someone who is working as a full-time video editor, this is something I never knew I needed nor was it something I knew existed. I've had so many thoughts and so many ideas running through my head the past year but I never really took the time to just sit down and de-clutter. But yeah thank you for sharing this and thank you for your inspiring message at the end! Definitely gonna take a think week ( or probably a think weekend at least cause work xD ) Can't wait for more stuff from you! The way you use cinematography and editing to enhance your storytelling is something I am inspired by :)
I feel like learning an instrument would completely benefit you, it is an absolutely different coping mechanism than reading, writing and drawing. I would highly recommend!
That outside outfit looks so amazing! All of the clothing items fit perfectly together. I loved that the red in the beanie ever so slightly returns in the collar and sleeve-ends
The part with you on the beach alone made me tear up!! I have gone back and forth between being very solitary and being immersed in my relationships and I’m currently transitioning back into the solitude era and it’s been a bit sad but this was such a nice boost and reminder of how great it can be.
i've been watching you for a while now and seeing you do your think week in my hometown feels so crazy yet comforting. you're videos inspire me so much, i love love love this!
Peace be upon you, Riza. I'm a recent subscriber to your channel and feeling blessed to come to know of it from a Friend. Solace is bliss, indeed! Thank you for your positively distinct artistic cinematography!
The genuine simple beauty of your video is just amazing, sharing the magic that is in feeling comfortable with our self-company, is so inspiring, and is a message that needs to be spread to everyone nowadays. your video is an inspiration fount, thank you so much Riza.
This video made my heart flutter! There's something in your videos that motivates me to pursue my craft which I've been putting off for a while. It's quite a challenge but we'll see how it goes. Thank you for the inspiration Riza!❤
Hi, I'm new and this was such a great introduction to your channel. You're truly a breathe of fresh air. Your dialogue around the 10 min mark hit home for me, I'm definitely taking this as a sign that I need to go on another solo trip to really hone-in on myself even further and to reflect on the amazing journey I'm on so far. Looking a deeper into your IG feeds, the thumbnails are such a vibe, you're like mise-en-scene for me rn. Thank you
To go somewhere without pre-judgement from people who dont know who i really am, sounds perfect :) So glad you enjoyed your week and being able to reset. You're the best!
Oof, those shots when opening the curtains. * *inserts Martin Scorsese meme: ABSOLUTE CINEMA* * Inspiring video and message, I remember my first solo trip was to San Francisco when I was 17 and last year I went to Seattle for the concert of Panic at The Disco, it was so interesting to be there by myself for some days, a lot of thoughts and introspection, some people adopted me while I was sightseeing though haha. And btw, your style and approach of storytelling has made me thoughtful about returning to YT, I've felt disconnected with the content that is out there lately but this makes me think about life. Great job, keep it going, cheeeeeeeeeers!
I've been thinking lately about how we perceive enjoyment in the company of others. This year I have been learning to be comfortable in my own company and just not have to rely on others to appreciate things and most importantly, to accommodate for yourself. Thanks for the video.
What a time to see this video. I'm planning a pretty big solo trip for myself around my birthday in a few months and I'm feeling the same way you did going into your think week. It was nice to see your journey in a well put together video that makes me excited to get mine going!
I love, love, love how this video shows a lot more of your personality 💜I really admire your craft, even more so now. I can't wait to see more from you.
the cinematography of this is just too beautiful ! ❣so happy to see you taking time for yourself away from life, literally the aesthetic of this is every person's dream pinterest board
Tried to vlog one time in a similar way that you do and that’s when I knew that the shots you take are in another level! Great vid, big fan of your skills.
You dropped this video at a perfect time! ❤ As of today I'm on my first ever solo trip and I'm traveling in North India. First I thought I'll regret it, as there's no one to share this experience with, and it would be fun only if I have some kind of adventure and outdoor activities. But after watching this video, I'm beginning to think what if soloing is about rediscovering yourself. Everyday cannot be all fun and games, you can also sit at someplace and take in all of the new place, the ambience, the air, the change in feel, and let yourself slide into the new experiences, focus on yourself and reset your mind. As you have already left your comfort zone by going on this solo trip, why not spend it on your own terms. As always, thanks for the video, it really helped me get over the feeling of regret ❤
I'm gonna just say it straight, I am jeeeaaalous of your editing. It is stunning. Your shots, the colours, your thoughts. Thank you for the most beautiful piece of art. I'm hoping if I work hard enough, I might find my own artistic flair for editing as beautiful as yours. So much love
I love how you color-grade your videos. I've been binge-watching your content lately since I'm planning to start documenting myself as well as being a dad. I want to document moments with my family. extra: any tips on colorgrading? :D
Your courage to take a solo trip speaks volumes, inspiring others to find the beauty within themselves. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt and positive experience with us. Plus it's a cinematic journey that pulls the audience into the beauty of your solo adventure. Well done!
SPending time by one self can be both nerve wrecking (in the beginning and if one isn't used to it), and then I feel like the space around me expands. It might sound strange and a bit "woo-woo", but it's like all the things in every day life backs off a little and gives ones soul more room to stretch and be.
I’ve been wanting to take a solo trip recently. Idk, something about it is compelling and I think it helps for individual growth. Your work is amazing. Truly inspiring🙏🏼
Riza's solo trip video is so inspiring! It shows how taking time for ourselves to think and reflect can be incredibly rejuvenating. Love the idea of a "think week" 🌿🧘♀✨
I love that whenever I see an alert and Riza has made a vlog but it really is like a movie the way you film and it's so inspiring. Can not wait to see what you came up in your think week!
Deleting social media off of your phone is so key for a trip like this. I had done one week a year in the past when traveling with family. This year I took 30 days off of it and yeah I need to do more of that. Enjoying the video.
Can we just appreciate how great and artistic is the videos of her looks Even the biggest TH-camr not even close to this level
she s gonna be the biggest with this momentum
You are absolutely right!
hell yah... talked a lot about it bruh ❤
Yah it’s really gorgeous!
100%
To summarize: Riza is talented, creative, inspirational, introverted, natural, thoughtful, mindful, calm, lovely and, beautiful. Love her vids, these are exactly what I desire on youtube.
The way you and Colt integrate the artistic views of your lives in transition with your video sponsors is beyond me, this video told an amazing story along side being sponsored by headspace.

Seeking solitude is completely underrated. Being alone can be great...alone but not lonely. Good video!
Went on 6 solo trips abroad this year and honestly visiting new countries solo and meeting new people really opens your eyes to experiences you miss out on when following the crowd. Glad you enjoyed your time in the cottage :)
How do you avoid loneliness during solo trips?
@@ethan-scott I wanna know too. Thinking about doing more solo trips but don't know how to meet people there.
@@Ripley93 such a great question I relate to this one too

Riza you posted this video just at the right time. I'm at a point of my life where there's no one for me and hence I decided to explore solitude.
You are my biggest inspiration Riza❤
You are changing TH-cam in such a awesome way with every upload! 👏🏻

Wow I was just talking about how a lot of us are in a season of *craving SOLITUDE.* Beautiful video Riza 😍💚
I am currently in Japan by myself and been watching your videos. Thank you for inspiring people and putting yourself out there
Wow! This video was so calming and super inspirational. Thanks Riza for creating these beautiful videos. You’re unlike anybody I’ve seen on TH-cam. You’re one of a kind 😊 keep up the great work girl. :)
People have already commented a lot about you. I just simply don't have enough words to tell you how marvelous you are!
Great editing skills as always.
Going on solo trips is something everyone should do at least once.
Agreed!!
I´ve been 4 months traveling alone, I can feel what you feel. Love your content! Thanks
This is such a beautiful and calming video! Thank you for inspiring Riza! I definitely took some new insights from this. I also started travelling alone a few years ago and I absolutely love it. :)

Sometimes spending time alone help us reflect on things, Its what I do when I'm also stressed, going for walks is such a stress relief.

This is beautiful riza, it gave me a sense of peace. Happy this has helped you creatively and personally
It’s from peak design. I linked it in the description :)
another amazing video that's worth rewatching at least 10x. thanks for the inspiration (as always), Riza! please keep doing you no matter what
appreciate you sm!! ❤️❤️

Wow, this was really refreshing and inspiring to watch. Also, didn’t expect to cry, but here we are… 10 minute mark hit the feels for me.

The genuine simple beauty of your video is just amazing, sharing the magic that is in feeling comfortable with our self-company, is so inspiring, and is a message that needs to be spread to everyone nowadays.
your video is an inspiration fount, thank you so much Riza.
This video made my heart flutter! There's something in your videos that motivates me to pursue my craft which I've been putting off for a while. It's quite a challenge but we'll see how it goes. Thank you for the inspiration Riza!❤
The cinematography on this channel is simply amazing!
Hi, I'm new and this was such a great introduction to your channel. You're truly a breathe of fresh air. Your dialogue around the 10 min mark hit home for me, I'm definitely taking this as a sign that I need to go on another solo trip to really hone-in on myself even further and to reflect on the amazing journey I'm on so far. Looking a deeper into your IG feeds, the thumbnails are such a vibe, you're like mise-en-scene for me rn. Thank you
To go somewhere without pre-judgement from people who dont know who i really am, sounds perfect :)
So glad you enjoyed your week and being able to reset. You're the best!
Oof, those shots when opening the curtains. * *inserts Martin Scorsese meme: ABSOLUTE CINEMA* *
Inspiring video and message, I remember my first solo trip was to San Francisco when I was 17 and last year I went to Seattle for the concert of Panic at The Disco, it was so interesting to be there by myself for some days, a lot of thoughts and introspection, some people adopted me while I was sightseeing though haha.
And btw, your style and approach of storytelling has made me thoughtful about returning to YT, I've felt disconnected with the content that is out there lately but this makes me think about life. Great job, keep it going, cheeeeeeeeeers!
I've been thinking lately about how we perceive enjoyment in the company of others. This year I have been learning to be comfortable in my own company and just not have to rely on others to appreciate things and most importantly, to accommodate for yourself. Thanks for the video.
09:45-11:09 literally crying part ... never felt so much emotion in 1:30 minute, awesome story telling
What a time to see this video. I'm planning a pretty big solo trip for myself around my birthday in a few months and I'm feeling the same way you did going into your think week. It was nice to see your journey in a well put together video that makes me excited to get mine going!
So exciting! Wishing you the best for your trip 🙏🏼🙌🏼
I'm really just inspired by you. Every time you release a video, it always excites me.
I love, love, love how this video shows a lot more of your personality 💜I really admire your craft, even more so now. I can't wait to see more from you.
the cinematography of this is just too beautiful ! ❣so happy to see you taking time for yourself away from life, literally the aesthetic of this is every person's dream pinterest board
Tried to vlog one time in a similar way that you do and that’s when I knew that the shots you take are in another level! Great vid, big fan of your skills.
Love seeing how other Filipinos are creative. Big fan 🎉
You dropped this video at a perfect time! ❤ As of today I'm on my first ever solo trip and I'm traveling in North India. First I thought I'll regret it, as there's no one to share this experience with, and it would be fun only if I have some kind of adventure and outdoor activities. But after watching this video, I'm beginning to think what if soloing is about rediscovering yourself. Everyday cannot be all fun and games, you can also sit at someplace and take in all of the new place, the ambience, the air, the change in feel, and let yourself slide into the new experiences, focus on yourself and reset your mind. As you have already left your comfort zone by going on this solo trip, why not spend it on your own terms.
As always, thanks for the video, it really helped me get over the feeling of regret ❤
Hope you have an amazing trip! It is a chance for great self-discovery :)

I'm gonna just say it straight, I am jeeeaaalous of your editing. It is stunning. Your shots, the colours, your thoughts. Thank you for the most beautiful piece of art. I'm hoping if I work hard enough, I might find my own artistic flair for editing as beautiful as yours. So much love
I’m so inspired by your work, feels like a fairy tale story❤
I love how you color-grade your videos. I've been binge-watching your content lately since I'm planning to start documenting myself as well as being a dad. I want to document moments with my family.
extra: any tips on colorgrading? :D
Your courage to take a solo trip speaks volumes, inspiring others to find the beauty within themselves. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt and positive experience with us. Plus it's a cinematic journey that pulls the audience into the beauty of your solo adventure. Well done!
such a calming video. Time alone is so valuable and i love the intentionality you put behind it. beautiful shots on the beach
SPending time by one self can be both nerve wrecking (in the beginning and if one isn't used to it), and then I feel like the space around me expands. It might sound strange and a bit "woo-woo", but it's like all the things in every day life backs off a little and gives ones soul more room to stretch and be.
I’ve been wanting to take a solo trip recently. Idk, something about it is compelling and I think it helps for individual growth.
Your work is amazing. Truly inspiring🙏🏼
Riza's solo trip video is so inspiring! It shows how taking time for ourselves to think and reflect can be incredibly rejuvenating. Love the idea of a "think week" 🌿🧘♀✨
If you wonder if it ever gets better… it does 🥹
I LOVED the message! Thanks for another very calming, beautiful and touching video 🫶🏽
so glad i stumble upon your channel. you videos are very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. keep up the good work
lowkey was about to cry around the end. so many emotions ahhhh
I love that whenever I see an alert and Riza has made a vlog but it really is like a movie the way you film and it's so inspiring. Can not wait to see what you came up in your think week!
Deleting social media off of your phone is so key for a trip like this. I had done one week a year in the past when traveling with family. This year I took 30 days off of it and yeah I need to do more of that. Enjoying the video.
Your videos are truly inspiring. Thank you. Everyone can learn something from you. Keep the videos coming!
"if it ever gets better?"
"IT DOES"
