Jade :: when I was in the south of France solo traveling I saw a really cute french guy at a bus stop, and I went to great lengths to get him my number (the bus arrived before I could) and we eventually had a lovely evening together but I was leaving for paris the next day so I said au revoir forever but he kept texting me french things like “now that I know you exist I don’t know how to go on living my life” etc so on my last day in europe I booked him a spontaneous flight to paris and we spent the night galavanting around town and kissing at the Eiffel Tower. Eventually we got married, steps away from where we met. SOLO TRAVEL LOVE STORIES THAT ARE CINEMATIC DO ACTUALLY HAPPEN EVERYONE! So once quarantine is lifted go out there and see who there is to meet. You never know who’s waiting at a bus stop for you.
My ‘casual’ gap year travel fling turned into a now 3 year relationship and moving to Canada to live with him! 😂😂😂 turns out I’m not very good at keeping it casual!!
To all the girls & boys : DO NOT GHOST people , JUST be honest & tell them that the conversation won't go any further !! Do NOT make them wait for ages
Because of you Jade I found out about DiscoverEU and won a ticket last year. I travelled through Eastern Europe and met a guy in Budapest who I’m now together with for 10 months! Please do more storytelling on your trips 🌻
my single, romance free ass watching this like :)))))))))))))))))) - all jokes aside tho i have waited for you to tell this story!!! my one travel fling also lasted a grand total of 24 hours and ended exactly how yours did but it wasn't quite as romantic and movie-like hahaha
Major kudos for taking openly about sex and virginity at the end. There was no shame or embarrassment, just straight up facts. I honestly needed that when I was a teen.
I don't normally comment but we really want a seriesss. I cant travel due to reasons and I've watched both the aussie and interrailing vlogs like 4 times through. I feel like when watching the video im living vicariously through you.. love you
Hey Javeria, I'm in the same boat of not being able to travel due to Covid -19 but totally agree Jade's content makes me feel like I'm travelling when I'm really just sitting in my bedroom at home haha! I've also just started a channel all about my travel and my gap year so if you want any more inspo, be sure to check it out!!
omg I loved the honesty of this and you opening up was so brave. also can we please just say that Jade spoke about not wanting to lose her virginity whilst travelling in such a grown up and honest way with no shame at all - that's something you don't see a lot
Charlotte Because virginity isn't special. Neither is not being a virgin. If you've had sex of not shouldn't be that big of a deal or something people go around congratulating someone over.
@@thedarkphoenix1640 I'm not congratulating her not losing her virginity I'm congratulating the bravery it takes to talk about it, especially in a society that tends to shame people over "losing their virginity". yes virginity is a load of nonsense especially in a world where not everyone has hetero sex but talking about it to a large platform when people are still judged for it and talking about it in a grown up way with no shame or bragging about it (people esp women are often shamed in both ways) is quite a big thing.
It’s so hard to break things off with people, even when you’re not in an actual relationship. I’m a people pleaser and I hate upsetting people. It hurts when you do and it hurts when you don’t, so it’s kinda a lose lose in my experience. I’ve learnt a lot of lessons because I had a long distance relationship, it ended 3 years ago and he passed away in a car accident recently, along with 3 other people I care about in the space of a month. It’s hard to balance just wanting to be friends with someone who wants more, if you give more, they get hopeful, but if you give less, you miss them as a friend and it hurts so badly when they’re gone.
Okay Jade, you inspired me to travel all of Europe last year. And like you, I found someone! We were in Venice Florence and Rome at the same times, and we met in Florence having similar paths all the way along! We met in Rome again for another night where we just fell for each other. Her name is Mary Jane, she's American, I'm from the UK. We kept in touch, I flew out to see her last December, we're officially a couple, and I'm taking her back to Florence someday! You inspired me to go travelling, you inspired me to push myself and meet new people, and I owe it to you that I met this girl that I now care dearly for. Thank you Jade 💕 I really want her to see this, it would mean the world to help me out 🥺
I suggest EVERYONE to take at least a couple of months to travel alone somewhere. It is such an incredible experience to meet travel buddies in the hostels and explore on your own. You really learn how to become independent and how to trust your gut. People might say that taking a gap year will discourage you from going back to school/uni, but that is not true at all! I was extremely excited and motivated after my travels, and I felt more sure of myself in terms of what I wanted to do with my life. Travelling gives you a lot of time for self-reflection
omg this is some mamma mia 2 / before sunrise energy!! i am (or was depending on ms rona) meant to be interrailing this year, i wanna be radiating this energy when i travel ✨
the universe really works in mysterious ways FML THIS MADE MY HEART FLUTTER :’) its like a wattpad story man thanks for sharing this with us jade!!! i relate to your people pleasing thing im the worst at that and have been trying to get better so the fact that you strongly emphasising that honesty is better than leading people on with a lie hit me hard :’)
Aw this was so cute Jade! Sounds magical. I have a few stories like this, but this one is kinda funny. It's just...hilariously awkward to me. I went solo travelling in Australia for six months a couple of years ago and there was this really cute guy I met at the hostel I was staying at. This hostel was absolutely incredible, I've never been anywhere like it. It was like we were all just this big family, everyone in the whole hostel knew each other and we'd drink together each night, and every new person who came in we'd welcome and try our best to get to know everyone. Anyway, I thought this guy had a girlfriend and that he was straight...BUT. It turned out this girl he was travelling with was just his friend, and to be honest I think he might have just been curious. He kept sending me these messages after he left the hostel asking if I wanted to meet, and I kind of thought nothing of it, but I invited him round for a night to chill at the hostel. We were on the rooftop and he was just being super flirty with me all night, and I thought he was gorgeous so I was all for it. Later in the night he ended up kissing me in the living room area and all of my mates were there, and although the kiss was great, I just felt awkward making out with this guy in front of all my friends. So I asked if he wanted to go upstairs instead. We went upstairs and literally none of the rooms were free and I didn't know what to do, so stupidly, in the spur of the moment, I was like 'Let's go to the bathroom!', I was kind of drunk, I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway, we got in there and it was so bright, like you know when you go into a falafel/kabab place on a night out and it's like the brightest lights ever just glaring down at your drunk self, staring into your soul, sobering you up. So we started kissing, and I slipped on the wet floor and our teeth just clanged together and it was SO. awkward. All of the 'romance' if you can even call it that was just sucked out of the room, and the moment just died a horrible death. He was like 'I'm not feeling this...' and I was like yeah fair enough, and we just went back down to the party and pretended nothing happened. I still laugh about it now when I think about it. So yeah, yours definitely wins! ;)
I am also a "people pleaser", I find it hard to cut people out even when I should, just because I am afraid to hurt other people's feelings. I quite liked the "moral of the story" and related to this video Jade. Make more of these videos when you talk about past experiences, reflect on them and share what you learned. 🥰❤️
got a lot of respect for the way you owned up to not being totally honest with him jade. so many youtubers would've left a detail like that out as to not look bad to their viewers, but if anything myself and im sure many others have even more respect for you now for admitting to your mistakes and allowing us to learn from them
WE WERE ALL waiting for this video Jade😂😂✨Love how cute your travel romance was, even if it was temporary🥺❤️I haven’t been travelling yet but I think I would be very similar to your mindset with this story!
Also this really makes me miss my bf because apparently starting a LDR 1.5 weeks before both of our countries went in lockdown sounded like a great idea 🙃😂
Awh Jade this sounded amazing and so magical! I genuinely felt like a was listening to a friend watching this! I was meant to go inter-railing this summer but because of covid its now been cancelled but I feel like I can living vicariously through your experiences haha! xx
AhHHh this just brought all the memories back from when I first met my girlfriend :') went on a school trip to Belgium lowkey thinking it was going to be a bit crappy (a week spent with kids from all around EU, living in a host family... I was very confused as to how it would go). Ended up spending more and more time with the British and Portugese groups and on the last day we visited Brussels and the EU parliament. It ended up just being the two of us afterwards and we explored the city together, just chatting and holding hands (my heart melts every time i think of how she asked me if she could). We were kind of cuddling on the train back and then kissed that night. Both thought the other one would be the one that got away but I think we were both determined for that not to be the case. Follow your gut on these things tho! I've honestly done the same as you in the past Jade.
After hearing about you guys in Vienna, you HAVE to watch Before Sunrise (it's about a couple who meet and spend a night in Vienna). The whole basis of the film is their conversation and it's so beautiful ✨
I wanted to hear this story since the travel vlogs, but I did’t expect to learn a lesson about being a people pleaser from it. This was kinda eye-opening. Missed gap year Jade:)
I've been watching all your travel vlogs again the last few weeks and I thought it was so hilarious that everyone in the comments suspected every single friend you made as being the one you kissed. But now we know the real tea!!
This felt like my best friend spilling the tea, while I'm shouting back with "no way, he didn‘t!!" :D I've never enjoyed watching a storytime this much before for sure hahahaha. I would LOVE to hear more gap year storytimes!!
Awww I relate to this so much. I also went solo travelling around Europe when I was 18 too, and I had a similar "movie-like, whirlwind romance" in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The guy liked me more than I liked him, and it wasn't that I didn't like him, it was more that I wasn't looking for that right then. So I also gradually started to ghost his messages even though he said he would move to the UK for me etc etc. Hearing your story makes me feel quite empathetic for the guy in those situations, but also, somethings just aren't meant to be.
I totally get the end of the video too - I just had a breakup and I'm finding it hard to stop messaging him because we are still friends, but I know it's not right and it wasn't a successful relationship, and it's better to just be clear about things! :)
If you come across this comment, remember George Floyd. If you witness racial discrimination/any other form of discrimination then SPEAK OUT! #BlackLivesMatter #ICantBreathe ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻
the reckless one Imagine how traumatising it was for George Floyd. I’m just trying to get his name out there as much as possible, i can’t apologise for that.
Thank you for this. If anyone is reading this comment and feels like they've never critically engaged with their racial identity and how it impacts their place in the world, head over to my Instagram. I made a highlight where I ramble trying to process everything, but ultimately share some necessary resources. I've just started a workbook called "Me and White Supremacy" by Layla Saad and if you're a white person wondering what you can do, do this. It's a start. Get thinking, get educating, get doing. Donate to charities like NAACP (go match my donation! again, head to IG), Minnesota Freedom Fund, George's family. There is so much work to do and now is not the time for performative sharing or trying to defend your non-racism. I am working to be more actively anti-racist, just as we all should be.
UnJaded Jade Thank you Jade!!!❤️We as white people need to use our privilege to defend and support black and ethnic minority communities from systematic racism and discrimination
its sooo annoying that as women we cant take have the whole travelling experience in some places (night life and all) because there are high chances of something happening. and its so hard to convince the parents oof
i loved watching this video and hearing your story. btw during my gap year i also had my own "fling". i met my future boyfriend on a ski competition, while doing something i love and feel very passionate about. i went there just to fullfill my plan, but instead the most beautiful miracle has happened to me. 2 weeks after the competition we met up and since than we have never stopped seeing eachother. i love him so much and thanks to your inspiring videos from that time i had the courage to step out of my comfort zone, take a risk and feel worthy of being loved and appreaciated. jade, you are a great girl, i love your videos, and thank you for inspiring me and others to live our own way and become better.
omgt Jade I love you like throughout the whole video I was like "YESSS JADE GET ITTTTT" but omggg I can't believe you ghosted him ahh I feel so bad for him ahahah
Me too. Gap year travel consists in leaving the house to go to the grocery store occasionally . 😔 But then again I would hate to be in my first year of Uni with all of this chaos going on. so even if I'm sad about having to forfeit the things I wanted to do this year, I guess it's still a blessing that I decided to take a year off.😊
Kayla Starr I feel this. So annoying because I started work a couple of months ago to save to go away during the summer just before uni in the new academic year. Am so glad I went with my gut though and wasn’t at uni this year because I think I would’ve been more frustrated having half the year cancelled lol
I loved this story!! I’ve had a few romantic adventures while I was doing au pair in London, and it was one of the best moments of my life. That’s what I miss about traveling all by myself, I like to meet new people, new guys and have unique and exclusive moments with each one of them!
Oh my gosh I loved this! This was such a girl chat sesh honestly. Literally felt like I was experiencing this with you. Thanks for the great video Jade xx
Omg my gosh this story was so sweet! Weirdly enough I went through a similar-ish story while on my year abroad where the guy ended up slowly ghosting me so while I didn't come here expecting anything more than a cute story update from Jade, hearing you explain your point of view and how you felt about slowly distancing yourself from someone who you know liked you more than you liked him was really helpful for me to make peace with my past. Thank you Jade & wish you a lovely week
Jade, so happy that you enjoyed Vienna. Your day in Vienna reminds me of the film 'Before Sunrise' in which the two main characters spend one day spontaneously exploring Vienna and then part ways. I'd really recommend this film, for anyone who hasn't seen it. Also: do you remember the restaurant's name? Greetings from Vienna :)
Watching this realizing that I would never dare to spontaneously follow a girl for fear to be considered a creep. All sorts of feelings collide: love, pity, jealousy, shame. But honestly, it's such a lovely story, even though it ended in my absolute nightmare (ghosting). I just love the glow it brings to your face when telling it two years later. Dankjewel voor je prachtige, openhartige verhaal.
"Sometimes being a people pleaser means not be honest with yourself..." Thanks for that.. that phrase has resonated with me a lot, because reflects something that happens to me very often..
The same thing happened to me. I’m 22 and went to NY this year, for the first time and all by myself. By the end of the trip there was a pub crawl at the hostel that I stayed, I was super tired but decided to go anyway. Let me tell you, it’s amazing to get out of our comfort zone. I met the most amazing people and also a really lovely German man that in the next day took me to see the most beautiful sights of the city and the most amazing rooftop I’ve ever been. I felt like I was in a movie. Female solo traveling is hard and we’re always gonna be a bit paranoid, but I’ll never regret the fact that I took the most out of this amazing opportunity ❤️
For some reason I'm super happy that you went to Slovenia and that you showed so many videos made there. My mum grew up in Ljubljana and it's really rare to see anyone talk about Slovenia on the (english-speaking) internet :)
Also! Just wanted to add: Youre not a terrible person for accidentally leading the guy on. Sometimes we’re not certain why we want to continue something even if we know deep down you don’t see it going anywhere. Maybe it’s out of fear, who knows, only you would x But you definitely did the right thing, Of course maybe not In the right way of being wishy washy but that’s how you learn and eventually become a better person💫Good Luck in finding the right person and I really hope to see another storytime once you’ve met them😜✨
You were the reason I applied for the interrail Ticket in the end of 2018, because I was so fascinated by your journey. Now my solo trip trough europe is one year ago, and yours already two?! Can't believe it - time is flying
THis literally made me so happy. my friends and i have grown a part, and i hadnt had someone to support so closely, and jade comes on with her real girl talk!!! ahhhh! just what i needed to support !!!! More please :)
Okay, my travel story ended with me having a broken heart, cause I really loved one guy, but he chose another girl. So, I spent a year healing myself and my wounds from these 2 weeks relationship. I know it sounds bad and it was - but now I am a better, stronger and smarter (sometimes) person, than I was before. Although it ended like hell, I got my lesson and it is the most precious thing! No regrets Sofia, no regrets!
❤️❤️❤️ perfectly choices, very healthy how u think jade. I'm 24 and as a girl totally recommend girls to not rush stuff when they are rly young,first things u do are important to be in that time mentally good, even though u might not stay forever in ur first relationship. It s important to be rly comfortable and realise everything and decisions and be happy.
IF THIS REACHES 10K LIKES, I'LL MAKE GAP YEAR STORYTIMES A SERIES 🌟 tell meeee!

Omg I want ur life
What !! Omg

My ‘casual’ gap year travel fling turned into a now 3 year relationship and moving to Canada to live with him! 😂😂😂 turns out I’m not very good at keeping it casual!!
MY HEART SQUEALED
That’s amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes girl🤩🤩
Girl wow I wish you all the best in life
Oh my goodness!! I'm exactly the same! Summer 2017! Working on getting PR now!
This was absolutely riveting
@Imaan Zahra lolololololololololololol
Seeing Ali here, I don't feel as bad as I did, about procrastinating on youtube rn xD
Brother it is a haraam story
why have i immediately imagined Ali watching this video on a 2x speed
Alice obviously I did
low key thought she was about to come out as lesbian when she said she got to know those girls really well
Bahahahha me too
SAME LOL
God I wish
.... or bisexual
SAMEEE
To all the girls & boys : DO NOT GHOST people , JUST be honest & tell them that the conversation won't go any further !! Do NOT make them wait for ages
me reading this comment after leaving a hella creepy guy on read : 👁👄👁
lmao I'm way too lazy to do that with every person. I just warn em that I get detached very easily so they are prepared n das it
@@georgiefarrington if they're creepy and they make you feel uncomfortable, that's a good idea in my opinion 😳
literally so shocked it was 2 YEARS SINCE YOU WENT ON A GAP YEAR. feels like yesterday ??? holy moly thats crazy
when jade said he travelled across the country to just spend 1 more day with her...MY HEART JUST HAPPY-CRIED🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
😭😭
I mean maybe he did not "only do it for her". He probably also enjoyed having an adventure. :)
Reminds me of the novel “Just One Day.”
The sun is also a star
Because of you Jade I found out about DiscoverEU and won a ticket last year. I travelled through Eastern Europe and met a guy in Budapest who I’m now together with for 10 months! Please do more storytelling on your trips 🌻
Holy crap that's cool!
Relly from Budapest? I am from here but honestly I have never thought we are so open. I am glad to you.
Róza Bodor he was from Germany

Oooh how did you meet?
Jade at 18: Solo travelling across Europe, kissing men under the stars, meeting new people
Me at 18: Too scared to walk from my house to the bus stop

“I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away” vibezzzz 💓😌

You're such a good story teller i felt like i was there whilst you were explaining it you should definitely tell more of your stories
🥺🥺 thank you!!
The moment I saw the title I dropped everything to watch this! Jade you're such a good story teller! You make me want to go travelling alone!

got a lot of respect for the way you owned up to not being totally honest with him jade. so many youtubers would've left a detail like that out as to not look bad to their viewers, but if anything myself and im sure many others have even more respect for you now for admitting to your mistakes and allowing us to learn from them
I'm going insane this is the most incredible story, I'm so bloody glad you got this experience Jade 💗💗
🥺 thank you so much!!
😍😍😍
But now we want the Minerva relationshipTEA. You mentioned this in a university video.
WE WERE ALL waiting for this video Jade😂😂✨Love how cute your travel romance was, even if it was temporary🥺❤️I haven’t been travelling yet but I think I would be very similar to your mindset with this story!
same!
I saw this and I was like: SCREW STUDYING FOR MY EXAMS I NEEEEED THIS TEA
Also this really makes me miss my bf because apparently starting a LDR 1.5 weeks before both of our countries went in lockdown sounded like a great idea 🙃😂
Sounds like she was in a coming of age movie...
Netflix noah centimeter vibes
@@warona2274 what? :)
Awh Jade this sounded amazing and so magical! I genuinely felt like a was listening to a friend watching this! I was meant to go inter-railing this summer but because of covid its now been cancelled but I feel like I can living vicariously through your experiences haha! xx
AhHHh this just brought all the memories back from when I first met my girlfriend :')
went on a school trip to Belgium lowkey thinking it was going to be a bit crappy (a week spent with kids from all around EU, living in a host family... I was very confused as to how it would go). Ended up spending more and more time with the British and Portugese groups and on the last day we visited Brussels and the EU parliament. It ended up just being the two of us afterwards and we explored the city together, just chatting and holding hands (my heart melts every time i think of how she asked me if she could). We were kind of cuddling on the train back and then kissed that night.
Both thought the other one would be the one that got away but I think we were both determined for that not to be the case. Follow your gut on these things tho! I've honestly done the same as you in the past Jade.
so. cute. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 🥺🥰

Jade: it was like I was in a movie
me: BEFORE SUNRISE
Edit: omg I didn't expect this to get so many likes💕
Best movie ever, and it's literally about a day in Vienna!
YES
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
just came down to the comments to see who said it first lol
Yesssssss
Aw jade I was smiling throughout the whole of this video
After hearing about you guys in Vienna, you HAVE to watch Before Sunrise (it's about a couple who meet and spend a night in Vienna). The whole basis of the film is their conversation and it's so beautiful ✨
What the hell Jade can't believe this was 2 years ago!! Feels like yesterday!!!
OMG GIRLLLLLLLLLL I HAVENT SEEN ANY UA-camR SPILLING THIS MUCH PERSONAL TEAAAAA
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP
I wanted to hear this story since the travel vlogs, but I did’t expect to learn a lesson about being a people pleaser from it. This was kinda eye-opening. Missed gap year Jade:)
Omg I sat down with lunch and didnt expect to love this so much. It literally felt like I was catching up with a friend 🥰
I've been watching all your travel vlogs again the last few weeks and I thought it was so hilarious that everyone in the comments suspected every single friend you made as being the one you kissed. But now we know the real tea!!
This felt like my best friend spilling the tea, while I'm shouting back with "no way, he didn‘t!!" :D
I've never enjoyed watching a storytime this much before for sure hahahaha. I would LOVE to hear more gap year storytimes!!
hehehehe
Hi eve
The wattpad girl in me is screaming.... Jade smile got so bright when he talked about this guy
I’m getting big mamma mia vibes from this. It sounds so beautiful and perfect and such a lovely memory
To everyone who sees this i wish you an amazing weekend!! Have an absolutely amazing time you deserve it!!
Thank you!!
Awww I relate to this so much. I also went solo travelling around Europe when I was 18 too, and I had a similar "movie-like, whirlwind romance" in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The guy liked me more than I liked him, and it wasn't that I didn't like him, it was more that I wasn't looking for that right then. So I also gradually started to ghost his messages even though he said he would move to the UK for me etc etc. Hearing your story makes me feel quite empathetic for the guy in those situations, but also, somethings just aren't meant to be.
6:06 This is SO WEIRD! There are absolutely no coincidences, everything happens for a reason!!
Tabitha Ford awww is someone in need of a movie like romantic experience too? It’s ok, bring it in
chill out Tabitha
@Tabitha Ford i'd give you dawah, i sincerely would. perhaps this'll put you out of your misery or dreadful existence of cluelessness.
Tabitha Ford Lmao
Tabitha Ford crazy how wrong you are. Everything does happen for a reason, destiny is very much real.
I totally get the end of the video too - I just had a breakup and I'm finding it hard to stop messaging him because we are still friends, but I know it's not right and it wasn't a successful relationship, and it's better to just be clear about things! :)
If you come across this comment, remember George Floyd. If you witness racial discrimination/any other form of discrimination then SPEAK OUT! #BlackLivesMatter #ICantBreathe ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻
the reckless one Imagine how traumatising it was for George Floyd. I’m just trying to get his name out there as much as possible, i can’t apologise for that.
Thank you for this. If anyone is reading this comment and feels like they've never critically engaged with their racial identity and how it impacts their place in the world, head over to my Instagram. I made a highlight where I ramble trying to process everything, but ultimately share some necessary resources.
I've just started a workbook called "Me and White Supremacy" by Layla Saad and if you're a white person wondering what you can do, do this. It's a start. Get thinking, get educating, get doing. Donate to charities like NAACP (go match my donation! again, head to IG), Minnesota Freedom Fund, George's family. There is so much work to do and now is not the time for performative sharing or trying to defend your non-racism. I am working to be more actively anti-racist, just as we all should be.
UnJaded Jade Thank you Jade!!!❤️We as white people need to use our privilege to defend and support black and ethnic minority communities from systematic racism and discrimination

@@UnJadedJade wow you are truly an angel sent to this earth, thank you so much jade. God bless you #blacklivesmatter
this is so cute literally like a movie-
its sooo annoying that as women we cant take have the whole travelling experience in some places (night life and all) because there are high chances of something happening. and its so hard to convince the parents oof
I feel you girllll
I'm pretty sure that men in those same places can also be mugged or murdered.
@@timowthie there's something called statistics.
@@timowthie pretty sure you never soo concerned about those men until i said that crimes against women are common :)
i loved watching this video and hearing your story. btw during my gap year i also had my own "fling". i met my future boyfriend on a ski competition, while doing something i love and feel very passionate about. i went there just to fullfill my plan, but instead the most beautiful miracle has happened to me. 2 weeks after the competition we met up and since than we have never stopped seeing eachother. i love him so much and thanks to your inspiring videos from that time i had the courage to step out of my comfort zone, take a risk and feel worthy of being loved and appreaciated. jade, you are a great girl, i love your videos, and thank you for inspiring me and others to live our own way and become better.
omgt Jade I love you like throughout the whole video I was like "YESSS JADE GET ITTTTT" but omggg I can't believe you ghosted him ahh I feel so bad for him ahahah
😭😭😭😭
same, ghosting is the worst! like just tell people 😅
voldemort poor guyyyyyy like he travelled all the way to Vienna to see her 😭😭
@@Guresu I knowww! god, I wish I had met him 😅
You both will always be most special for each other.
Lol my gap year has basically been cancelled and my love life is nonexistent
Same 😔
Me too. Gap year travel consists in leaving the house to go to the grocery store occasionally . 😔
But then again I would hate to be in my first year of Uni with all of this chaos going on. so even if I'm sad about having to forfeit the things I wanted to do this year, I guess it's still a blessing that I decided to take a year off.😊
Grace Elizabeth me too urgh so frustrating
Kayla Starr I feel this. So annoying because I started work a couple of months ago to save to go away during the summer just before uni in the new academic year. Am so glad I went with my gut though and wasn’t at uni this year because I think I would’ve been more frustrated having half the year cancelled lol
Where are you guys from? Aren’t European countries opening their borders again?
I loved this story!! I’ve had a few romantic adventures while I was doing au pair in London, and it was one of the best moments of my life. That’s what I miss about traveling all by myself, I like to meet new people, new guys and have unique and exclusive moments with each one of them!
Oh my gosh I loved this! This was such a girl chat sesh honestly. Literally felt like I was experiencing this with you. Thanks for the great video Jade xx
Omg my gosh this story was so sweet! Weirdly enough I went through a similar-ish story while on my year abroad where the guy ended up slowly ghosting me so while I didn't come here expecting anything more than a cute story update from Jade, hearing you explain your point of view and how you felt about slowly distancing yourself from someone who you know liked you more than you liked him was really helpful for me to make peace with my past. Thank you Jade & wish you a lovely week
Jade, so happy that you enjoyed Vienna. Your day in Vienna reminds me of the film 'Before Sunrise' in which the two main characters spend one day spontaneously exploring Vienna and then part ways. I'd really recommend this film, for anyone who hasn't seen it. Also: do you remember the restaurant's name? Greetings from Vienna :)
Watching this realizing that I would never dare to spontaneously follow a girl for fear to be considered a creep. All sorts of feelings collide: love, pity, jealousy, shame. But honestly, it's such a lovely story, even though it ended in my absolute nightmare (ghosting). I just love the glow it brings to your face when telling it two years later. Dankjewel voor je prachtige, openhartige verhaal.
AWWW OMG yes! The video we've all been waiting for!!
"Sometimes being a people pleaser means not be honest with yourself..." Thanks for that.. that phrase has resonated with me a lot, because reflects something that happens to me very often..
I remember watching your interrailing vlogs when they came out!
she's an OG 🥺
I do too!! Actually went to Slovenia last year (so a year after the vlogs) and it is so fun watching these clips with different eyes haha
Awhh!! That boy deserves the world!! Jade I love this video so much!!
I'm getting butterflies from just hearing the story😍 Jade dude, you're living the fairytale!
The same thing happened to me. I’m 22 and went to NY this year, for the first time and all by myself. By the end of the trip there was a pub crawl at the hostel that I stayed, I was super tired but decided to go anyway. Let me tell you, it’s amazing to get out of our comfort zone. I met the most amazing people and also a really lovely German man that in the next day took me to see the most beautiful sights of the city and the most amazing rooftop I’ve ever been. I felt like I was in a movie. Female solo traveling is hard and we’re always gonna be a bit paranoid, but I’ll never regret the fact that I took the most out of this amazing opportunity ❤️
Why does this sound like a movie🥺🥺love it
OKAY WTF SPENDING A WHOLE DAY IN VIENA WITH THIS GUY, THIS GAVE ME "BEFORE THE SUNRISE" VIBES, YOU GURL LIVED THE DREAM
This story sounds exactly like the movie “Before Sunrise” by Richard Linklater
my favourite movie ever. i was thinking the same thing haha
That's what I was thinking too!!Best romantic movie of all time
YES
YES
For some reason I'm super happy that you went to Slovenia and that you showed so many videos made there. My mum grew up in Ljubljana and it's really rare to see anyone talk about Slovenia on the (english-speaking) internet :)
11:58 “whA T” omg i screamed girl this video was too good
Your English study videos helped me get the beat grades I could manage in English. Now I’ve wrote a book a few months later! 💕
Also! Just wanted to add: Youre not a terrible person for accidentally leading the guy on. Sometimes we’re not certain why we want to continue something even if we know deep down you don’t see it going anywhere. Maybe it’s out of fear, who knows, only you would x But you definitely did the right thing, Of course maybe not In the right way of being wishy washy but that’s how you learn and eventually become a better person💫Good Luck in finding the right person and I really hope to see another storytime once you’ve met them😜✨
You were the reason I applied for the interrail Ticket in the end of 2018, because I was so fascinated by your journey.
Now my solo trip trough europe is one year ago, and yours already two?!
Can't believe it - time is flying
THis literally made me so happy. my friends and i have grown a part, and i hadnt had someone to support so closely, and jade comes on with her real girl talk!!! ahhhh! just what i needed to support !!!! More please :)
Wow that felt like destiny. Good friends, good wine, traveling to Viena and a good kiss. Lucky girl!
Okay, my travel story ended with me having a broken heart, cause I really loved one guy, but he chose another girl. So, I spent a year healing myself and my wounds from these 2 weeks relationship. I know it sounds bad and it was - but now I am a better, stronger and smarter (sometimes) person, than I was before.
Although it ended like hell, I got my lesson and it is the most precious thing!
No regrets Sofia, no regrets!
❤️❤️❤️ perfectly choices, very healthy how u think jade. I'm 24 and as a girl totally recommend girls to not rush stuff when they are rly young,first things u do are important to be in that time mentally good, even though u might not stay forever in ur first relationship. It s important to be rly comfortable and realise everything and decisions and be happy.
"In the name of banter" 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t worry about it we’re all young and learning. The fact you learnt from this experience shows growth and maturity
