I am 25 and I decided that nothing is off limit for me. The perfect man comes along? Yes, I can be a wife. I can have children and a house. The perfect woman comes along? I‘ll take her. Noone comes along? Fine, I‘ll be alone and travelling a lot or living in different cities in the world. I can pursue my career and strive to be successful but if it gets to much I can drop out of this cycle and be a waitress and live in a small place. I will live my life listening to myself and do what I want. So thank you for this video, it is so inspiring seeing another person with this mindset.
I am 24 and I also like to think this way. Before I used to feel burdened because of all the se social expectations and my inability to meet them. But one moment I realised that they aren't as important. I felt this overwhelming freedom - we can do anything as long as we can deal with the consequences. However, freedom isn't always anice thing. It often means lots of anxiety, uncertainty and even lack of meaning. Because it means we have to create our own purpose, and it can be Hard to do.
@@varvara3709 I understand completely what you mean. This life doesn’t mean lifelong bliss, but at least you can always be honest with yourself and feel your emotions. I feel like this is still a rather scarce thing especially with the older generations.
I'm turning 25 next year and, for the first time in my life, I've started thinking about this new womanhood possibilities: no boyfriend, no marriage dreams, no kids, with our own independence (financial and emotional) Actually, this seems very exciting. My mother lived for her marriage and children. So good to see a hole generation of women living their live how they want, it's beautiful.
This video is seriously so impotant. So many people these days are struggling to see themselves ever going forward in their life because they're miserable in their 20's. It's never too late to figure it out and start living the way you wish to. I hope everyone seeing this finds the strength to be themselves and happy. Much love
this makes me feel excited to grow old as an unmarried woman in the middle of nowhere! I'm 22, its always been my dream, but there isn't a lot of representation of it so it feels like socially its not an option
I am 25 and a half and i think i look almost the same as when i was 17-18.People around 30 are not supposed to look old unless you have treated yourself/have been treated badly
Ik I'm a 23 year old and am a little ashamed of the women probably my age who are all like "you look so good for 30!" As if that's a compliment. Like girl, that's gonna be you pretty soon, and you're not gonna look that different. You'd think subscribers of Kristen would have unlearned some of that misogyny and ageism, but I guess it's deeply ingrained...
@@witchy.business Also because women of earlier generations where not allowed to dress modern and young once they were married and had kids. They had to wear more oldfashioned clothes and hairstyles because it was considered immodest for them. Thats why we still think women in their 30ies are old!
Still can't believe I could've possibly ran into you on the streets of Split! You passed through so many places very near and dear to me, the cliffs by the sea that you were sitting on are the same ones I have been jumping from when I was a kid and the ones on which I enjoy to sit, listen to some music and take in the sun. It was lovely seeing you and Jo enjoy your stay in Croatia. I hope you come and visit again.
So beautiful to listen to your story. I am currently 27 and really struggeling at the moment. I dont know where I belong, where I will end up, I've never been in a relationship and afraid that I will end up alone, I am worried that I'll never find a job I like, that I'll never be able to live in a nice flat in a nice city and so and so on. I really hope that by 30 I will also have that feeling of inner peace that you show in that video
Honestly you give me vibes of an older cousin that I secretly look up to and aspire to be. And the vlog was so visualy pleasing and lovely, this little cottage is like something from a dream
I turned 20 this october and i am soooo uncertain about my future. But this video kinda comforted me. Being carefree, happy, with no house or kids/husband IS an option. It's hard to realize when everypne around you tell to get a job, work there till retirement, get married, have 2 kids, probably get divorsed and go thru custody battle.
I turned 30 almost 30 years ago, my daughter turned 30 this year. I could have used your advise and, come to think of it, finally I'm mostly living by it. I live my own life entirely without the financial and social support of a man. I am often struck by the fact - that you talk about here -that there are basically no historic precedence for women living like this throughout all of human history. Of course, now that we've destroyed the earth and possibly created the circumstances for the end of the species, of course it's possible for women to live as they like.
as a 20 year old I just want to say that with all the conventional representation that I see about how my 30's should look like that seeing your video is the first time I thought I would be very happy and lucky to end up like this when im 30. Also please don't quit TH-cam and Girl you have my permission to use allll the ads and sponsorships to get that cottage but I know you wouldn't do it cuz of ur conscience, oh well.
omg... been looking into properties in Greece too, the prices are... And all I want is a small cottage, simplicity really... This gave me Isabel Paige vlog vibes. Happy Birthday!
This video! Wow! I think as women we’re so often scared to turn 30 and not be living the “picture perfect life” that is so refreshing to see someone live life the way she wants to, being truly free and present. This was amazing and congrats on your birthday Kristen!
I look forward to finishing to watch this video when I'm done with homework but for now I just want to say that I've always been anxious about time. In primary school I used to cry when I realized my loved ones' mortality at a funeral, and I remembered that feeling two days ago when I saw a picture of my mum when she was young and I found myself filled with nostalgia. At first I didn't understand why, I don't remember her being young, but now I realize it's pbly because of that fear of time, and therefore of aging, I realized I too would one day look like her and that made me feel strange. Ever since I was a kid I found growing up scary, and as a 21 yr old I still do, I find time scary, even sunsets can cause me physical anxiety. So yeah. Looking forward to actually watching the video, hope this comment actually has something to do with it haha
Watching this was so fun. As a 30yo single mother I won’t be able to travel for awhile. But I sure do love watching two young lovely ladies have a blast! That cottage y’all stayed at is a dream! Stay blessed and keep doing you!
I am the only person who I know who is excited about turning 30. I will be 30 at the end of this year and think it will be so much fun. I am married tho, but we just want to explore and travel, have a house and a bunch of animals 😂 I didn’t celebrate my birthday in years, probably since I was 10 or so. And I am planning to celebrate my 30s birthday this year to start a new decade in my life 🥰 Happy belated birthday, Kristen!
Omg! I'm so happy you are considering moving to the Azores. I'm portuguese - living in the mainland - and Azores is my happy place, I really think it's the most beautiful place I've ever been to, it's just mesmerizing really. I hope plan A goes well for you!
Happy belated 30! ✨Lovely to see these scenes of my favorite country (Croatia), your beautiful friendship with Jo, and of course your wonderful reflections. You radiate so much wisdom and beauty (inside and out). Currently 27 and this video motivates me for what 30 can look like! 💚živjeli, Kristen!
We are in the process of having our own off grid olive tree farm with art residencies for the future. All that because Im making my transition back to my fathers land in Lesvos. Azores?you go girl!!!don’t give up on what’s calling you inside your heart. Καλή επιτυχία !
As a queer 25 year old that feels lost, this was so inspiring. I was so ambitious and driven coming into my twenties but an abusive marriage with a straight man, disability, and chronic illness really knocked me off my path. Now I’m figuring out what to do moving forward, but I dream a lot of living in a little cottage like you described, a little self sustaining homestead off the grid. As a disabled person this feels impossible, but I am regaining my confidence that I am unstoppable.
I feel like I watch a lot of vlogs that just show “what I bought “ and “how I look” and here you also get the thoughts in between and I just feel way more connected. Like I’m watching a person and not a some kind of ideal life 1
Best thing about growing older is not caring about "the rules of life" so much. I'm in my 40s and it took divorce for me to question everything ... Once you start questioning what you do and whether its for social tick boxing or you, there's no going back 💓 happy birthday 🌼🌸🌼
i spent my teenage years in bed and depressed and obsessing over my weight. i spent my 20's obsessing over my body and in an abusive relationship (but i'm not going to lie, it was really nice half of the time, it just didn't make up for the abusive half) and in bed and depressed after we broke up, and then the pandemic occurred. i'm looking forward to my 30's. maybe it will be better.
Happy birthday Kristen!! I’m one of those that rarely comments, but I’ve learned so much from you over the years, thank you, and I hope this next decade of your life is everything you hope it is! 🥰♥️
As a teenager watching your videos for about a year now, i really get inspired by you. i feel like i want to be someone like you, aspire to be just like you, a kind of woman who is successfully living their life beautifully and being self-reliant. thank you for inspiring me. ill be thanking you as always, that kristen leo inspires me of what i am when i become a woman. (sorry for the bad english, its not my first language hahaha)
Have you ever considered book writing or blogs on random thoughts? Your thought process starts very simple to then very elaborate analysis to then a new simple conclusion and I feel it would work! Topic can be anything. . .
Χρόνια πολλά, ἀγάπη! When I turned 30 I tried to live on a mysterious greek island and managed for 6 months 😹 then it got too intense. Before that I even tried living in Crete. So intense. I took a break and now just vacation in Greece ( i’m from Romania and have some Greek-Turkish roots btw) but to be honest I’d so love to be able to live there and actually be able to handle all that intensity gracefully. So my 33-34 spring of life I’ll be roaming around there for sure also trying to find a cottage in the woods with the sea near by and hot springs hidden from everyone. I envision my self a bit of Valy Meyers witch of Positano but with more cats and bit more combed hair. And also it would be lovely to find like-soul and minded witches that respect nature to the core and build a community that protects life in all of the woods. All wonderful realizable dreams and I always believe that time passes in our favor. This video like witchy one was really really my flavor. Love that your doing your best to bring awareness in spaces that really need it. Blessings on your journey 🌞 🌊💖
i love this video so much, i watched two times at least, but makes me feel comfortoble and not pressing things, just living life. thank u Kristen for sharing this beautiful video and teaching us
best part of this video was the actual realism when it comes to riding a bike. WIthout adequate butt protection, it's just a hellscape. Thank you ladies!
Happy solar return and thank you for sharing this. It made me smile and laugh and feel like I was with friends. I love your channel. Keep being authentically you and doing your thing :)) it’s a breath of fresh air.
Girlll you are a true inspiration and reminder for me that the system we live in is a fucked up mess and that i always have the opportunity to resist to this going big-going rich lifestyle that everyone struggles to fit in. Great aesthetics in the video once again.
Ahhh, my girl visited my country! I'm from the capital of Croatia, but my ex is from the village next to your little cabin... I actually know Ivo. 😂 Happy 30th!
kristin you're absolutely a role model. im so proud as a woman to know there are women like you. love your video! congratulations on the new decade of your life ❤️
So I wanted to recommend studying the history of debt (one by David Graeber is really good, but I recommend starting from the last chapter and then reading/listening to the rest). It's important to understand why the society we live in feels so restrictive, economically and socially, and why work is starting to resemble slavery/indentured labour. It's all been oriented to maximize 'extraction' (labour, time, resources). It's been like that for the global south and is creeping into the global north as well, which is why you/we can't even find an affordable place to live (even in the woods). I think we have a tendency to want to escape this/ free ourselves, but we should also think about how we can do so for others. Isolation may be another step backwards in this regard. Kristen will hopefully stay connected via her platform, so she can physically isolate herself, but just putting this out there as a call to arms/warning for the rest of us.
Something about this video really hit the spot, so much so that I got super emotional while watching it, sheading a few tears here and there. As someone who's about to enter their 20's soon, and as someone who's got no idea what to do with their life or where to spend it, this gave me a lot of hope and just good vibes in general (unironically). I'm still trying to accept the fact that nothing is ever set in stone and most things will change with time. Home, partners, friends, career, etc. So watching this video of you just enjoying life to its fullest and giving such great advice and just sharing your thoughts. It's ery much appreciated, whatever it was your intention with this video was, thank you a lot.
Happy Birthday you absolute legend! So grateful I know about your content because you bring so much joy, education and general epicness. Enjoy creating the next decade Kristen XO
Fellow geriatric millennial turning 30 this spring, and also prepping for the witchy hobbit apothecary farm cottage life. Wtf did they do to our generation? Idc 🤷🏽♀️I love it and have accepted it and this whole video was a mood for the next decade 👒🌾🍞🌈🪴🧝🏽♀️🧙🏽♀️✨💙
I'm so happy to see you more relaxed and excited to be experiencing social interaction and exploring such beautiful places of the world. Keep inspiring us!!
Idk much about how's life in the islands but in Portugal buying a house in the country side is cheaper than the cities. Portugal right now is struggling a lot with the deserificaton of the east side of the country, so from my understanding you could benefit from taxes by living in these remote areas, since the country is trying motivate people to repopulate again the country side. I will say that if you're going to live there you're going to be dependent on a car, since there's a lack of public transportation. In case you're plan in Açores doesn't work out you can always try Portugal, honestly is very pretty! Wish you the best luck with your journey!!
You make 30 look 20...I swear. But your brain is definitely above and beyond. Welcome to the wise women of the world club. We are here and we need to guide the world again!
Am I crying because I'm on my period ?I'm i crying because i turned 30 almost two years ago ,in the beginning of pandemic ,alone with my cat, crying (again!!),I'm I crying because I love this video and the vibes so much ? I dont know !
This hottie, over here, deserves a happy birthday wish for yesterday! Happy unconventionally 31 to my favourite buzz killer!! I get the whiskey, you get the ice. Slainte, babyyy!
I am 25 and I decided that nothing is off limit for me. The perfect man comes along? Yes, I can be a wife. I can have children and a house. The perfect woman comes along? I‘ll take her.

obsessed with this.
“Listening to myself” YES

omg yes to everything and thank you to puting into words what i feel
@@varvara3709 I understand completely what you mean. This life doesn’t mean lifelong bliss, but at least you can always be honest with yourself and feel your emotions. I feel like this is still a rather scarce thing especially with the older generations.
Time is a weird thing, it stresses me out. I'm glad our Fearless Greek Leader has reached her 30th year with grace and finesse.
💯💟
So refreshing to hear this spoken about in positive terms! Me too, no husband, no children, 31. We always hear that this is a bad thing!
Also wow watching this made me so excited to turn 30 and make a part 2. WE HAD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TIME
🤓 looking for cottages and castles right now
I'm so glad you visited Croatia ❤️ makes me homesick to watch your video... I hope you had a good time, low season is the best 😊
Welcome to Club 30 🔥🔥🔥
I'm turning 25 next year and, for the first time in my life, I've started thinking about this new womanhood possibilities: no boyfriend, no marriage dreams, no kids, with our own independence (financial and emotional)

Not all the 20-year-olds in the comments shocked that 30-year-olds look good 😭
Seriously the internalized misogyny and ageism just be leaping out. 🐅🐅
Let's stop buying the lies that patriarchy sells us about women's worth
I am 25 and a half and i think i look almost the same as when i was 17-18.People around 30 are not supposed to look old unless you have treated yourself/have been treated badly

💯💯💯💜
Love you woman! ❤️ so happy to spend the time with you

Still can't believe I could've possibly ran into you on the streets of Split! You passed through so many places very near and dear to me, the cliffs by the sea that you were sitting on are the same ones I have been jumping from when I was a kid and the ones on which I enjoy to sit, listen to some music and take in the sun.

I really hope that by 30 I will also have that feeling of inner peace that you show in that video
Oooh, girl I can relate, I'm 26 will be turing 27 in December. Everything will work itself out, everything is on schedule.🤗
Honestly you give me vibes of an older cousin that I secretly look up to and aspire to be.
And the vlog was so visualy pleasing and lovely, this little cottage is like something from a dream
We had that same experience at the Colosseum, we got really sad and left lol. Happy 30th!
I turned 20 this october and i am soooo uncertain about my future. But this video kinda comforted me. Being carefree, happy, with no house or kids/husband IS an option.

This video made me so happy and so hopeful. Not yet 30 (27!) but excited to grow.
omg... been looking into properties in Greece too, the prices are... And all I want is a small cottage, simplicity really... This gave me Isabel Paige vlog vibes. Happy Birthday!
This video! Wow! I think as women we’re so often scared to turn 30 and not be living the “picture perfect life” that is so refreshing to see someone live life the way she wants to, being truly free and present.
This was amazing and congrats on your birthday Kristen!
I look forward to finishing to watch this video when I'm done with homework but for now I just want to say that I've always been anxious about time.

Here's to another 30 years of telling it like it is.

Stay blessed and keep doing you!

Damn you Kirsten, for having me question all my goals and dreams at 9AM on a Sunday morning! Stop being so damn relatable, ugh 🙄.
🤗🤗🤗
🙌 Happiest of birthdays to the absolute boss goddess 🙌
At 27, I’m finally realizing I can go do whatever I want

Love you love this! Just turned (turning) 30 today and this is the place of freedom I’m in too! 🥰💕
😲💗 happy birthday!!! 🥳🥳🥳
this video made me feel just … so much better about being 22 and not having a 5 year plan or much less even a 1 year plan
I feel like I watch a lot of vlogs that just show “what I bought “ and “how I look” and here you also get the thoughts in between and I just feel way more connected. Like I’m watching a person and not a some kind of ideal life

Also, 25, single, jobless, yolo.
Loved the video ❤️
Your videos are always so ✨gorgeous✨

oh wow, the visuals in this video were breathtaking. So happy for you Kristen, thank you for your valuable insight on your 30s
Kristen, darling, I loved everything about this. I bet your 30s will be the best decade yet.
I'm 20 and so happy to watch this. even though I'm young I feel like since 18 I've been afraid of ageing
Happy birthday Kristen!! I’m one of those that rarely comments, but I’ve learned so much from you over the years, thank you, and I hope this next decade of your life is everything you hope it is! 🥰♥️
Waah ily 💗
As a teenager watching your videos for about a year now, i really get inspired by you. i feel like i want to be someone like you, aspire to be just like you, a kind of woman who is successfully living their life beautifully and being self-reliant. thank you for inspiring me. ill be thanking you as always, that kristen leo inspires me of what i am when i become a woman.

Waw such a quality of footage and enriching thoughts. Thanks
Holy shit you visited Split, my hometown :') glad you enjoyed Croatia. Happy belated birthday comrade ✊
🤗💗💗💗 Hvala!!!
Aaaa you responded :) nema na čemu! ❤️😊✊🐈
i love this video so much, i watched two times at least, but makes me feel comfortoble and not pressing things, just living life.
thank u Kristen for sharing this beautiful video and teaching us
Love your "life lessons". I turned 30 last year and actually despite the state of the world feel more free than ever :)
best part of this video was the actual realism when it comes to riding a bike. WIthout adequate butt protection, it's just a hellscape. Thank you ladies!
Ahahahah so true
have a very happy birthday! and have a very lovely decade (and more)!! 🍾🌸
saving this video to watch again when i need a happiness boost
30 looks good on youuuu! Happy belated 💜💜💜
Kristen AND Jo?
What an extreme crossover episode!
Also, thank you for the cottage footage, very much appreciated!
Happy solar return and thank you for sharing this. It made me smile and laugh and feel like I was with friends. I love your channel. Keep being authentically you and doing your thing :)) it’s a breath of fresh air.
simply happy to see you!
Girlll you are a true inspiration and reminder for me that the system we live in is a fucked up mess and that i always have the opportunity to resist to this going big-going rich lifestyle that
everyone struggles to fit in. Great aesthetics in the video once again.
This was everything I needed right in this moment. Thank You for sharing with us!
Ahhh, my girl visited my country! I'm from the capital of Croatia, but my ex is from the village next to your little cabin... I actually know Ivo. 😂 Happy 30th!
NO WAY!!! 😱💗 what a small world!
I love you. Just wanna let you know that you are my role model and thank you for the content you make. Happy birthday, Kristen! 🧚🏼✨
kristin you're absolutely a role model. im so proud as a woman to know there are women like you. love your video! congratulations on the new decade of your life ❤️

It's been like that for the global south and is creeping into the global north as well, which is why you/we can't even find an affordable place to live (even in the woods).
I think we have a tendency to want to escape this/ free ourselves, but we should also think about how we can do so for others. Isolation may be another step backwards in this regard. Kristen will hopefully stay connected via her platform, so she can physically isolate herself, but just putting this out there as a call to arms/warning for the rest of us.
You Go Girl!!! Happy 30th! You look great! Love the hair color.
Having a cottage in the woods sounds like a dream! Hope you can achieve it hahaha
Something about this video really hit the spot, so much so that I got super emotional while watching it, sheading a few tears here and there. As someone who's about to enter their 20's soon, and as someone who's got no idea what to do with their life or where to spend it, this gave me a lot of hope and just good vibes in general (unironically). I'm still trying to accept the fact that nothing is ever set in stone and most things will change with time. Home, partners, friends, career, etc. So watching this video of you just enjoying life to its fullest and giving such great advice and just sharing your thoughts. It's ery much appreciated, whatever it was your intention with this video was, thank you a lot.
Happy birthday, Kristen! I am very glad you have enjoyed Dalmatian Coast! Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷💕🌸

It's so nice seeing someone happily live the life you also want for yourself. Thank you for showing it's possible. ^^
Idk much about how's life in the islands but in Portugal buying a house in the country side is cheaper than the cities. Portugal right now is struggling a lot with the deserificaton of the east side of the country, so from my understanding you could benefit from taxes by living in these remote areas, since the country is trying motivate people to repopulate again the country side. I will say that if you're going to live there you're going to be dependent on a car, since there's a lack of public transportation. In case you're plan in Açores doesn't work out you can always try Portugal, honestly is very pretty! Wish you the best luck with your journey!!
this is very comforting, thank you so much!!!
I swear I'm 24 and don't like my life and I thought I was doomed lol this is so lovely to see
you can choose a different path at any time!
