I feel like you skirted around the question about your family being rich. No one accused you of not working hard! They just asked if you came from a rich family. I came from a very well-off family too and still had to work my ass off to pay for what I wanted and was not handed money, but I would admit in a heartbeat that my family was well-of or "rich" if I was asked. It was not a personal attack. Everyone sees you work very hard and you deserve everything you have achieved. But it doesn't mean you are not privileged and/or come from a rich family. You can come from a rich family and still have to work your ass off. They are not mutually exclusive.
Ofc! I respect and appreciate this response! There's by no means anything wrong with coming from wealth but that's not my case. To clear the air, I definitely did not come from a rich family. My family has always worked in the non-profit world and so that's why I had to work to provide most material goods for myself because it wasn't an option for my parents to be able to do so. I didn't know how to word it in a way that would be respectful to my family and be honest with you guys!
IMHO, you worded your statement very well. Congratulations to them (your parents) for a job well done raising you 😊. (I hope I don't sound condescending [I'm their age]) I hope you consider getting into "social entrepreneurship" (maybe form a start-up). God bless you and your family! 😊
@@dorissalazar6560 yes, and she acknowledges that regularly. I know it sucks (my family has neither any money NOR connections) but I think she's very aware of how fortunate she is, and from my perspective it's still quite inspiring that she's moved to NYC on a budget that isn't just "my parents pay for everything"
i would love to see a video of your life story. Maybe including like where you grew up and moved, your experiences as you've grown, literally anything about you. love you!
You don't seem to talk about it on this channel much but I would love to hear more about you being a Christian and your experience at a Christian college!
I love your honesty and I loved your point about not being fully vegan or fully environmental..just a little step or do what we can...that's how I think too. You are fabulous and inspiring. Have fun in Canada.
I know this is an old video but I just found your channel yesterday and I really relate! I’m also a 3w4 who is independent to a fault and loves solo travel and moving! Love this channel 🥰
I feel you on being tall! I'm not even that tall (5'9") but I'm still usually the tall one of the group. I also definitely relate to the independent one. Love the video btw!
i realized how similar we are through this video. this makes me so excited for the years to come because i want to do the same after i graduate college!!!
Hey I just found your channel not long ago. The first video I watched was th summer morning routine. I was wondering what's on your mind? How can this person live such a beautiful life? Your videos are 10/10 on aesthetic but I was keen to know if there's more into it. This video is a proof that you have so much thoughts and important things to say, all other deep shit that will make the world a better place. I rarely comment on a UA-cam video but I just want to say I love your channel and want to see more what you're going to do in the future :)
You are soo naturally pretty and just emanate a warm energy...with social media nowadays [yes I'm much older in my 30s] its refreshing to see a young woman not be superficially pretty but actually be classy pretty
glad to hear you survived the cold! I go to school in Minnesota and it’s supposed to be -25 degrees fahrenheit next week, pray for me for my walk to class 😅
To me, the assumptions about family wealth stem from this effortless, traveling vibe you portray that is usually associated with wealthy class families. In my opinion its not a read on you, but jealousy bleeding out about how easy going and serendipitous your channel seems (which is why we adore it!)
Yes, I totally understand that! It's almost funny how far from the truth it because for all my earlier trips (that were not for work) I meticulously saved from my minimum wage jobs for months and months while paying for rent, schooling, etc. It's very easy to not realize how much hard work is going on behind the scenes.
I think it's because people know you work your ass off and you deserve your success and were never handed everything, and worked min wage jobs, and earned everything you have achieved. But it doesn't deny the fact that your family is rich/extremely well-off. It is a privilege to be able to have the OPPORTUNITY to go to college, and have the resources to be able to work hard for themselves, and travel the world. No one is saying you're ability to travel/live the life you want has been effortless because of your family background. They are just asking you to acknowledge the privilege you had to have the tools to achieve what you wanted.
That said, I agree with the OP, a lot of these comments stem from jealousy but nonetheless people still love your content so keep on earning that coin because you deserve it. Just acknowledge your privilege.
It takes wealth to be able to travel constantly - no need to deny something so obvious and trite. Working class people and college students working their way through college don't have this privilege. Nothing wrong with it.
@@peppa_pig_ A) elana graduated college B) literally all of her vlogs up until now have been mostly her working the whole time. Not sure how this doesn't show how hard work (granted, one with a college degree) could pay for travel...
*more videos on your faith, maybe on your Testimony, would be awesome! Loved this video, always love your vids they give me this calm feeling. I feel the same about always needing to move etc* :)
I just found out that you’re a Christian!!!! Omgggg I rarely find a Christian vlogger here on UA-cam and i’m so glad that you are one!!!! I would love for you to make a video about bible study!! Stay blessed, girl! ❤️❤️❤️
new to the channel so not sure if you've done this already, but would love to hear more about what your religious/faith beliefs were growing up and during college compared to now. also if you could touch on what deconstruction entails for you.
GURL I'm 6'1 and I so feel wishing I was like 2 inches shorter but I just embrace it now :P Also I relate so strongly to the itch to travel and being almost too independent
i'm a little late to watching this video but as a fellow tall girl i am so thankful to also be on a life-long journey of loving myself, however you said you're still not perfect and i feel like it was just the wording and you probably know this already but perfection is not the goal and you are enough
As someone from an impoverished family, you shouldnt be ashamed to say you're wealthy/rich!! It's a blessing. Also glad to hear your Christian faith is something you hold dear to your heart!!!!
Hi! Can you make a video about your videography and photography work ? Like if you went to school for it or what specifically you do for work other then UA-cam ? Love your channel 😊❤️
I love your videos, keep up the good work❣️ What is your background? You probably identify as American but I saw your mum‘s name and wondered if you have a persian backround?🤔 Much love from austria ❤️
You're so inspiring. I think that I'm a little bit like you on the fact that I can't stay too long in the same place (so much things to see). Also, I think that you look like Robyn in How I met your mother aha (this comment is a mess sorry)
I had no clue you went on accutane. I did too and finished about 5 months ago. I would love to see a video talking about your skin and the effects accutane had on you. 💕
I’m SCREAMING lol I’m so sorry you had to come to MTL while the weather is this shitty, I swear it’s mostly charming hahaha especially in summer and fall!
Why would you want her to discuss such polarizing topics. This is a fun channel about fashion , travel and her life. Everyone has very strong opinions about things such as politics and abortion, why would you want to subject her to the harsh critics out there that don't agree with her views.
@kv cp yeah I realized that after I commented this. I guess I would just want to know personally. Like a private message or something. I would never want her to get hate comments or start drama, just curious.
Could you possibly do a video on how to start your own channel/ advice for new channels? Things like beginners cameras/ editing and hire to be less awkward in front of the camera?
-5 is nothing I had wait for a bus in -53 for 20 minutes in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am not trying to brag but you shouldn’t worry of others opinions. I love moving too! I am traveling solo for 2019 in May!! Montreal, Toronto, all over Japan, South Korea, and somewhere in Europe than back home to America!
I would love to see some videos on Christianity, maybe a Bible study routine, how you became Christian, and what your day-to-day life looks like as a Christian, and maybe your experience at a Christian college,? I think that would be awesome.
omg accutane TERRIFIES me so much!!! I've had acne for over 5 years now and my dermo's most recent try at getting rid of it was hormonal birth control so fingers crossed it works, or our next step might be discussing accutane ahhh
Hey Elena, I wanted to submit a question, so hopefully you do another one of these videos somewhere down the road (or another Q&A). I was kind of unsure/shy to ask the one question I really wanted to ask.. maybe it’ll get answered as I watch more! Also, I truly need that jumpsuit! Did you thrift it, or is it available somewhere for mass consumption? :)
I’m so jealous you’re in fabulous Montreal. My old stomping grounds. Looks like you’re in the plateau. Say bonjours for me... get out in the snow. Go to St. Viateur bagels... best in the world.... Montreal is one of the best cities in the world... have fun!
here since the video was called MVI 1582 lol #notificationsquad i think i'd be to scared to hear what people assume about me, but it could also be a fun surprise!
Would you please tell us how did you make it ..travelling to other countries by yourself.did you face any difficulty convincing at home ?? My parents are conservative but then its fact that I'm so much into travelling nd exploring countries abroad just like you ❤❤.how its gonna turn for girls like me.
Hi! It's so cool to me that you are in Montreal bc I live there! What made you come here? Also, you must try some coffee from small independent cafés! I love one in Rosemont called L'étincelle, if you are near rue Beaubien and avenue Delorimier, I strongly recommend that you check it out :)
*that thing in the bottom left corner made me think my screen was broken*

Just because you come from a privileged family doesn't mean your rich. I'm privileged but my family is no where near rich.
YOUR EYES ARE SO PRETTY!💙💚💙💚💙💚
Thanks
Your mom is adorable! 💗 love this video Elena and your perspective on all these topics is spot on!
i would love to see a video of your life story. Maybe including like where you grew up and moved, your experiences as you've grown, literally anything about you. love you!
Love that you aren’t afraid to express your faith on social media
just love and appreciate how honest you are

Kimberlyn Daniel Yes I would LOVE to hear about that too!!💕

you inspire me to solo travel too! you're an inspiration in general, your lifestyle is amazing but you stay so humble and thankful for everything.
you are really inspirational and im glad you are so different from so many other mainstream youtubers. you are so really and genuine

My Friday sucked and when I saw this vid it immediately made it a little better🤷♀️❤️

I hate it....sort of hahahaha
Nobody will say "yes im a bitch'" or "yes i was born rich".... i wonder how honest they really are LOL

what platform do you use to edit your vids??? I luv your channel Elena!!🥰
check out her description box! she's got all her equipment and programs linked :)

you're in my city❤️

I'm thinking about moving to Montreal from Paris. But these temperatures kind of blah me.
Omg i live in Montreal!!! How are you there???

Would love to see a testimony video
Where did you get that jumpsuit it's soooo cuteeee!

can you share more about your relationship with God? would love to see more videos on this topic!
I love your eyes and voice
please don't tell me the picture at 2:55 is an actual skull from the catacombs of Paris!! So disrespectful if so :(
It sure looks like it which is very disappointing
You should make a view about your Christianity !
Where is your jumpsuit from? It's so cute
