      I'm in my 70s. And, because what I've experienced on this planet, I PRAY, PRAY, PRAY that she can STAY a free spirit. There is a saying of Prophet Muhammad's:
      "You should go through this life as if you're just passing through."
      My teen years in the U.S. were the very opposite, because there was so much social turmoil then.

      That’s literally why she went. Did you not listening to the story? She paid (some outland is some of money trust me because I’ve looked into it) they target these first world nations from usually rich/upper middle-class white women. Then charge insane amounts of money for them to go out there and build houses or sometimes spread gospel.
      ((OooOoo yes they are usually groups of like 20+ so The individual is organizing these things are making like $200,000 in a month and they build like one house for a poor family))
      They live in small tents essentially and give the “volunteers” almost nothing to eat. But they pay $7-10,000 to go out there for something like six weeks. Yrs ago that was the cost I’m sure it’s probably higher now. (((this money would have gone over 1,000x further if had just sent it to individual families & projects))) The point is that you’re paying for the experience and a post a bunch of photos on your social media about how you care about the world and you’re helping people less fortunate than yourself.
      For that same amount I was able to build wells for 3 ENTIRE villages & a school.

    So I had no idea that other people in my age range were fans.
    64. Tennessee USA
    40 years older than Isabella.
    I have been disabled half my life.
    I got hooked when Isabella was dancing in the street and the caption was almost got hit by a car.
    These videos bring so much joy to me. I get the thrill of travel and joy of dance.
    I can't wait for the how they met and fell in love video. Because,
    Isabella and Ray have also reminded me of the joy of young love.
    The way you two look at each other when you dance makes me happy, it feels like you were meant to be.
    I start my day watching a few shorts. Isabella and Ray dancing starts my day , and its the last thing I watch at night.
    Before finding you I spent so much time watching news and that was mainly politics USA .
    Thank you for saving me. I was starting to have high blood pressure episodes watching my countries crazy.

    Isabell,
    I had seen some of your videos before, and I came across this video of how you ended up where you are. I absolutely love your heart for people of all backgrounds and the way you connect with people. You are such an inspiration, and I am thankful that when I see you, I do not see color, but rather a young woman with a gift. God has blessed you tremendously!
    I also want to commend your parents. When you stated that they loaned you the money to travel, I realized that they had set you up to be responsible and self-sufficient. The fact that you went back to Denmark to work to pay them back is commendable. Here in the United States, there is sadly a culture of entitled children and young adults with no vision, no sense of purpose, and no desire to work hard for what they want. You show to the world that you work hard to have the life you desire and that you don't do it on the backs of anyone else.
    I believe that God created each and every one of us for a purpose. We can not try to tell others what their purpose is or should be, but we should strive to know what WE OURSELVES are here for. I have to say I believe you may very well be living in your purpose, that being to serve as a beautiful, kind, and loving bridge between cultures and continents.
    I applaud and respect you, and thank you so very much for sharing your story and your gift with the world.

      ​@Atlas-tp8dw she was not wrong when she said fear. And you were not wrong to say missinformation.
      For us humans, fear mostly stems from the things we don't know yet. The unknown.
      Which is why what isabella did is considered brave.
      This is not about africa per se, it's about a venture to the unknown to the person.
      It's a feeling we get when we go to somewhere new, or experience something new.

And that is exactly how & when I became such a massive fan- by taking the time to click on her videos (and then Ray’s) and falling in love at first sight. Isabella (& Ray’s) dream is being lived out right in front of us and I couldn’t be more excited with each new video drop.

    Isabella, finding your channel, you spread joy. It's rare to find people who just bring people together and spread joy like that. Seeing you and Ray get to live out your dreams and do what you love is amazing! Can't wait to see where you dance next!

    Right at the start of this video, when I learned you were not actually born and raised in Africa, I felt a twinge of disappointment, having assumed you were, watching so many of your and your boyfriend's dancing in Africa videos, but as you shared your story, you won me over, such a free spirit, and so sincere, I like you as much as ever, even more. Your joy and happiness is contagious. And though I"ve never been to Africa, i find myself falling in love with it and its people thru you and your dancing videos. Thank you so much, for a slice of life I never would have known otherwise..

      Yea that's why I kept watching. She's the third white girl I've seen on UA-cam who moved to Africa and dated locally. Intriguing.
