why you need to get outside your comfort zone

Everything and anything you currently know fits inside your comfort zone. All your memories, the foods you eaten, places you've visited and shitty situations you've had to overcome, fit inside your comfort zone. As I celebrate my 25th birthday, I reflect on this idea and challenge you to do something simple to expand your comfort zone! ✰ s o c i a l m e d i a ✰ insta - @ abbey_francis ↳instagra...

Love this vid xx
Thank you Gems xx
Best of luck! Doesn t matter if it is a mansion or a studio, what matters is that you WILL NOT have to pay rent on it and ideally pay less in Mortgage or, even, no mortgage at all! As long as you pay less in Mortgage than in rent, you have won and have made a great achievement to be proud of and, technically, generated GENERATIONAL WEALTH for your future children! Go on queen slay❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful support! In some cases paying more in mortgage than you might in rent, as long as your budget allows, CAN be the smart investment since your mortgage payments are helping buy down your principal loan amount allowing you to earn equity rather than giving your rental payment to a landlord.
@@monicaredman1719 very good point! Did not consider the equity factor! You are right! Best of luck! You got yourself one more subscriber!
We are speaking the same language!! I can't wait to acheive this goal :)
I'm currently saving to buy a house and I'm 32 - I hope we will both soon meet our goals, Abbey! Cool video :)
We totally will! It's hard work and sacrifice, but it will be worth it! Thanks so much for watching :)
Hi Abbey! I hope you are doing well :) You look nice so I guess the answer is yes :) Thanks for the wise link, I am thinking of using it in the future, dealing at the moment with 3 currencies, that's cool, I was always hesitant for some reason. Your tips are good ones. I think the most important is to get good habits as a young age and keep going with consistency. Because we end up by becoming our habits right. Sometimes because of other choices ( time off, living abroad - not working full time) the goals can change but if every time you are working you save, you'll be the winner. Also I always tried to keep in mind what is important is what you save not what you earn. Because If you make wise choices and know how to live life good with less, you'll be able to achieve your goals :):):) And there are so many different options nowadays. Also people can affoard bigger homes because they were able to get a mortguage on the first place and this thing by itself helps them to resell it with a better value (not always but the case in many many places still) so it's also important to look at where you will end up being and the most important, you can change your mind when you make good decisions. All that to say, great video, input and entertaining content! Take care ,x
Hi Myriem, doing very well! I've had a great week and how about you? I was also hesitant in the beginning, it's so scary to think about transfering money internationally, but it has worked well for me using Wise. Good luck! I agree with you it is totally about consistency and being able to enjoy life with less. I'll be sharing everything about this so stay tuned - hopefully sometime next year I'll have an update :) Take care and thank you for your support xx
Next time go to ours beautiful mounthins and geat a good vibe
Loved this! Which trail was this? Would love to go someday
Lac Blanc! Highly recommend :)
So lovely to see your videos popping up in my recommended again! You're such a sweetheart & you have such wonderful open and honest convos in your vids :) xx
@@svetinski aww Svet, thank you for the comment - it’s so nice to hear that what I’m trying to convey is resonating!! I’m going to be bringing this vibe to my videos from here on out 😁 thank you for being here for the journey xx
Anxiety is a helluva drag. Thanks for the advice Abbey.
@@bryanmoyna9715 It’s crippling !! 😭😅
Thank you for the video! I am now hesitant between Le Lila Rose and Salle des Gardes restaurants :)
Le Lilas Rose is my favourite :) Especially for traditional no-fuss meals. Enjoy!
I have eating problems, and I wanted to eat and I went to UA-cam and saw your vlog, and when I finished watching your vlog, I realized that I was really eating without thinking, I have problems finishing my food, I can never finish a whole plate, but I finished it thanks to your vlog, this really means more to me than you expect, im seriously so happy, thank you so much i really mean it!
@@lishsu_87ihsj I’m so glad it helped ❤️ eating is about nutrition, we give our bodies nutrients so we can be capable of living life to the fullest. Xx
Love to see you fuelling yourself and the evolution of Abbey ☺️💗
@@simonelavis1715 the evolution of Abbey! Love that sim! Thank you for watching and being on my journey with me xx
It’s the rating every meal for me 😂😂. Videos are looking great, and an amazing message!!
@@andrewbellis8509 thank you !! I knew you’d love the message 😁🙏🏼
Abbey ! It is such a great video ! Bravo :))) I relate so much. 100% we need to fuel the body and not just keep being addictive to the chemicals. But for that we need to pass this phase of "I can not do it". For me, I feel like I did not have a poor diet in the past but some and still sometimes, moments where food is an emotional response and in this case, it's unfortunately something that is sweet or greasy that the body asks for. It's such a wake up call to do some research and read about the role of big corportations in that. It's a journey to try to improve but a great one right. Because also being mindful, chewing for real, spending time in the kitchen prevent us to not be that gluttonous. You did amazing :))) Enjoy your Sunday.
Hey Myriem! Happy Sunday - hope you’ve had a great week! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s definitely hard in the beginning, but after a while is really becomes second nature and your body does stop craving the really sugary or greasy stuff and automatically craves the ‘healthier’ alternatives. We’re all on our own journey and doing awesome - we mustn’t forget that!!
new sound is so good !!
SOO much better!!!
Superb video. Belgrade is far the biggest city of ours, but personally I like more Nis 😊 It is smaller but still have vibes of the city. It is crowded as well and great food there as well with bunch of nice restoraunts. At evening, along river called "Nisava" at summer, there are a lot of young people walking and have a great time with guitars or just chatting. Very nice atmosphere overall. Just one advice if you decide to visit us again and make a video about it. Please avoid everything about politics. Kosovo, NATO, Russia, Putin, Ukraine, EU, American or England government. Personally I don't give a f*** for any of those, and believe me there are a lot of people in Serbia who share those views as well, but also there is people who get sensitive about those topics and you can get a few rude or unpleasant comments and you don't need that cause you are very nice person. Everything is fine, even some critique if it's derserved, but politics should be avoided here at any cost. You are very kind and fun, and your two friends as well. Hope you doing great in life and enjoy your traveling. Come here again in Serbia, you are welcome at any time. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful comment!! I hear what you're saying and have learnt a lot from this video about AVOIDING politics, especially when I have no lived experiences or understandings of Serbian politics. In the end, I discovered a wonderful country, culture and peoples. I hope to be back. My dream is to do a road trip in Serbia - it's just such a wonderful country and I want to discover more of it. The place left a big impression on me and I'm sure many others.
How much from Serbia to Istanbul
I remember it costing about 40 euros
Hi Abbey! From Auckland :) So fun to see you again , sharing a part of your journey! Quality over quantity! If you like what you do, that's the most important thing. Also when someone is passionate about something we can see it in their eyes :) Good on your for these steps! Keep going and enjoy life as much as you can. We do not have to see it only as a progression all the time but more like an experience. I am sure you relate. You got this. Taking risks and stepping out of a comfort zone is worth it!xx
Hey Myriem! So happy to see your comments popping back up. I resonate and agree with everything you have said - I'm really excited to share with you what is coming next!! I'm in the process of upgrading my current UA-cam equipment + learning more about the videography process, can't wait to bring the new skills to the platform :)))
@@abbeyfrancis You are great! Do not feel discourage or bad about what people can say or tell. Sometimes It's just that misery loves company. You are super brave to do that actually and it's just there are so many people everywhere. You know. It's like getting a good coffee when many little shops are open and keen to serve you. I guess now Internet is a weird place so many people can be interested but just do not comme across your channel for example! Have a lovely weekend :)
this was all I I I I I me me me me... soooooooo boring... no one cares... ffs
This was just supposed to be a 'me' video as a little update before I start uploading again. It was just supposed to be a check in video with the people who have followed my journey from France - I didn't intend to come across as selfish or self-centred.
this is annoying.... suggest you do something else...
@@peacefulsoul77 your comments are really mean and hurtful! I think it’s so unnecessary to spread hate in this world… don’t we have enough of it already?
A diamond what ??
hahha who? what? when?
Congrats you guys that looks like a pretty fancy meal for a uni student.
Haha lucky for me, Killian paid ;)
As another youtube creator who has asked herself about a billion times "Why am I not growing like all the other youtubers i look up to?" - YOU GOT THIS. Your visual storytelling is so captivating and i know if you make videos you are passionate about and deliver value to your viewers you'll go far!!
Thank you so much for the encouragement!! We have so got this !!!
She needs real criticism to get better though. - Better Camera or better lighting..seems way too dark here. - Audio levels are off at certain points. Gotta make sure its all clear and even - Not upbeat enough when talking especially about LOVE. Should be more cuts of that included when going over that specifically - Sometimes you just got to fake excitement in these shots -Maybe some tunes to make it more upbeat
@@ranfli-op1146 This is actually amazing feedback!! Feel free to add these comments on any of my new videos - seriously helpful and much appreciated :)
its simple... if your boring and ordinary, you will never grow your channel... you need to be exciting, quality, consistent, entertaining... do something out of the norm... this video i couldn't even watch it, was terrible... no idea why it was recommended to me... one of the worst videos i have watched in ages to be honest...
@@abbeyfrancis no problem best of luck. UA-cam is all about experience and some luck imo. Small editing improvements you will learn over time can go a long way.
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching :)
Can you help me and my friend get an opportunity to volunteer in Britain or USA or😊😊😊😊 Switzerland as fruit pickers? Can you help us remotely at Workaway?
I would recommend Workaway (it's an app)! That's a very good place to start :)
Thank you for visiting our country. You are always welcome. Thank you for this wonderful presentation. I hope you have convinced yourself that we are good people. You are wonderful and beautiful and come visit us again!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment :) - your country is awesome
Hii what’s the name of the accommodation ? You guys mentioned it but… the spelling 😅

Brah...I lived in Australia for a year and a half before moving back to New Zealand and Australias Rental situation is diabolical to say the very least and has got ALOT worse since my (reluctant and regretful) return to New Zealand.
Tru
Exactly not the thing to do when ypu move to France. You should à year before moving take french lessons to be able to operate as soon as you arrive. A year after living in France being confident to buy your baguette at the bakery is quite pathetic and shows how much time you have lost .
Hi
pls keep uploading!!
I'm coming back!! After a much needed break :) xx
👌👌👍👍❤❤
Hey Abbey, I'd love to see more vlogs when your'e ready - i really like watching your travels vlogs or day in the life around sydney would be cool. Hope you're well
Thank you Monica!! I have decided that I am coming back to You Tube after taking a much needed break :) x
Hey Abbey your videos are awesome,I would like to connect with you and to know more about your travel stories if you don’t mind let me know your mail id.
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc abroad - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms abroad with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
Thanks for showing us around seasonal Prague. Nice festive sights and sounds. Appreciate your work, from new subscriber👍🙏❤️
No one on this planet has enough routine. We jet have to know your routine too.
Cool vlog, hope that you come again! :)

Yes no problem at all, should be very safe in the south especially if you leave most of your valuables in the boot :)
Hey Hey, you 're so good. You've tried so many things and went through so many adventures. You can be fucking proud of you ! I totally agree about everything. To grow, there is no much to do than just try and espace from our comfort zone. Good job! Looking forward for your next chapter!
