- Опубліковано 3 гру 2024
- Hey guys!! Vlog #2 of UnJaded Solo Travels takes us to Annecy, Lyon and Dijon in France. Despite the literal HIGHLIGHTS of Annecy, someone did try to steal my stuff on a train between Lyon and Dijon which really shook me up. :( That, and train delays definitely made for some lows of my travels! As always, I love being honest with you!! Enjoy the realities of solo travel - not everything goes to plan. ✨
If you watch to the end, THANK YOU I LOVE YOU! These videos are an insane editing task. 😂🙈 Any Qs regarding solo travel, leave me a comment!! I'll do my best ;) x

The queen herself!!! Honoured haha THANK YOUUU 💛
UnJaded Jade STOP!!!! I live for your videos hun😂❤️
They are so bindge watching indeed 🙂
Be careful with bags on public transport! They’re a prime target for pickpockets/ thieves since they can grab stuff and run off of the transport, and especially for tourists it can be hard to follow them since many are very reluctant to get off at a random stop.
When I visited Paris a kind taxi driver told me on my first day to always keep my bags between my legs tightly with the zips facing inside your legs, or if there’s no leg space then storing it on your lap (although this makes you seem more uneasy making thieves think you are scared).
Another tip for walking in the street; carry backpacks on your back (I know you had two, but if you only have one) because if you carry it on your stomach/ facing you it makes you seem more scared and less confident, meaning you’ll look like an easy target since if you could defend yourself you’d keep it on your back and not worry so much.
And for hostels; for anything locked, if it’s a key with a padlock, I was always told to sleep with my key in my sock, since the foot is the most sensitive part of your body (especially if you’re ticklish!!). If someone tries taking the key you’ll notice and it’s much safer than keeping your key under your pillow !
I hope those tips help anyone reading ❤️
Great tips - I also sometimes link the zips together on my backpack if theres for example a front pocket with a zipper and the main zipper on the side you can use a chain type thing and the end of a keyring to link the zips so that if one is pulled you essentially cannot pull it all the way but its doesnt involve the hassle or trickiness of using a small padlock. Also I sometimes take an extra pillowcase (also for hygiene) with zipper to hostels and then keep keys or keycards inside the end of the pillowcase. :)
I used to do a similar thing with the key in the sock but instead id hang the key from a elastic band, for example a hair tie, and then attached the hair tie to my panties and put the keys facing the inside instead of hanging out and on the side of my waist ( where its easier to hang things). This worked wonders for me and never fell off or anything! I sometimes wake up with my socks off bc i mive a lot while i sleep sonid be terrified to leave it in my sock...Its a great ide aif it works for u tho! Idk if u understood my weird explanation but yeah hahaha
I’ve backpacked caught over night trains and busses, and we never had a bag problem, we didn’t even use padlocks. I think if you just keep it close to you and don’t leave it anywhere you’ll be good.
Thanks! I'm going interrailing next month so I'll keep these in mind.
Omg great tips! Screenshot taken 🙌
Time to watch this now and get rid of my anxiety for a few minutes xx
Oh hey there
same here, i was having a major panic attack and needed something to calm me down and jades videos always manage to do that! hope youre okay xx
I relate
Mahat I love you!! Always here if you need a chat 💛 x
coffeemlk same
Im so desperate to do this. I can't wait to leave college and explore he world and myself.
i love how open you are to the new experiences and genuinely trying to enjoy everything you can
Paddleboarding in that lake looked AWESOME!! Your vlogs are inspiring me to solo travel (same as you, got no one to go with XD) but I have so many worries!!
IT WAS!! 🙈 I'm actually so glad I was forced to go alone haha! Despite being terrified, the reality is so much easier than you imagine. I hope you get to experience it one day! x
@@UnJadedJade thank you!! I'm on my gap year as well so we shall see!😆
bOnJoUr MaMaN?
oUI.
Au ReVoIr MaMa.
This really inspires me to recover - I struggle with ocd, anxiety and an eating disorder and watching your videos really motivates me to get better so that I can do things like this! I love travelling :)

Who knows it’s gonna be a good one even before watching it? ❤️❤️
YOU'RE SO LOVELY ❤️ xxxx
"Life is beautiful." The words I wanna say at the end of (during) my gap year(s).
Your videos are the refuge to my wanderlust. Honestly, solo traveling is a pretty hard thing to do. I am applauding your strength, confidence and your ability to enjoy experiences even when things get frustrating.. and hard! You are a RAD PERSON. I hope and pray that you keep growing AND expanding your horizons!!! 🌻🌻🌻💕💕⚡🌙🌙🎉💯🔥💫
Hi Jade! I have a lot to thank you for...
You motivated me to try hard. Before that, I didn't care about good grades and I was sad on the inside even though I pretended not to care. I was disappointed. But finding your channel has been a blessing. I got all 9s on my GCSEs and I have you to thank. Thank you thank you thank you!
That is amazing! Congratulations! What are you doing for A Levels? x
All 9s!!? WOW! Congratulations for all your hard work and dedication, truly. I'm so glad I was able to help you in any way ☺️🌟 x
@@maryouuuumma I'm doing French, Spanish, Physics and Maths
@@UnJadedJade wow, you replied?! Thank *you* so much, you've really made a difference to my life ❤️ I really mean it, I owe you so much
@sumgee thanks so much :)
I'm from Annecy (well actually just not far from it but meh) and i'm so glad you liked our country ! nice vlog ! :)
it's truly GORGEOUS! I need to come back and also take my family haha x
you're a daily source of motivation and encouragement for me! you've literally CHANGED my life. thank you jade 💛 xx
I have no idea what to say other than I'm HONOURED. 🙈 Thank you for sharing!! x
Your videos are keeping me sane this semester xxx thank you so much for existing ❤️
Ikr
This made me smile so much. I'm honestly so glad I can help in some way. 💛 YOU'VE GOT THIS OKAY!! xx
I love these videos so much! I've been struggling with depression for over a year now on top of my social anxiety and I feel like solo travel could help me so much right now. I just want to get out of my comfort zone and do something fun! Thank you for the inspiration!!
I did a ski season in france when I was 18. That was almost 10 years ago and it's so heartwarming to see myself in your excitement and it reminds me of what it was like for me. Thank you. And I was born in annecy! I'm glad you went
I recently went to Annecy, you should visit this magnificent waterfall halfway up the mountain! It has a lovely walk there and when you reach it is beautiful. There is also a lovely beach spot on the lake, well it's next to a beach. It is grassy and has trees to shade you from the sun, and a pier so you can jump in the water. It's the most wonderful place ever! xx
Watching your videos are so relaxing ❤️
Awhh i'm so glad ☺️ x
The toilet thing is kinda normal in France, but I also only knew about it because my teacher warned us before :D
So strange!! 😂🙈 I think I learnt the hard way 🤷♀️ x
Merle Karpenstein what
My dad and I went running once, my dad went to the toilet and came out absolutely drenched! It’s hilarious x
Wait i don't understand how can you avoid this?
@@edenmese4925 You just wait until the light turns green
My social anxiety could never, I panic when I go to the store :/
i love your profile picture !!!
One day I'm sure you'll be able to. Just keep challenging yourself, even if it's just going to the store when it's difficult!!! 👍
I relate, yet I really wanna spend a few weeks travelling solo if I can make some money
I’m the same!! but never say never, just try and take things a step at a time 💕
It all starts with mini challenges - just a tiny bit out of your comfort zone. I used to be so TERRIFIED of speaking to the person at counters in shops/hotels (& sometimes still am haha..!), but the more you do it, the easier it becomes. One day, my friend!! No rush either. ✨ Lots of love x
Franchement bravo ! La qualité du montage est super, tout le travail que tu mets dedans est tellement appréciable ! Merci beaucoup pour partager cette expérience, et j’espère qu’on te reverra bientôt en France !! J’ai hâte de voir la suite :) et encore merci :)
Yes! I love these travelvlogs so much! They get me so excited for my own travel plans and this is the perfect timing for a study break. Groetjes uit Nederland Jade! xx
Hi Jade! You inspired me to take a gap year to study French and German in Europe after I finish high school in Brazil, and I'm absolutely loving to accompany you on this journey.
I'd only suggest you to try to make less rough cuts while editing. And I know it's a lot of footage and it must be exhausting to edit all of it, so I really admire your effort to record and share all of this adventure with us. :)
Wow, that's so incredible to hear!! 🙈👏 I'm certain you'll have the best time (and definitely aid your language learning!). I also really appreciate the feedback, thank you! It's definitely a task to edit it all and I'm so conscious of how long the video is, but I'll definitely take it into account ☺️ x
i like how jade includes both the highs and the lows
Omg the birds were your friends. That's honestly the most adorable thing 😭❤
Yesssss! Loved the previous video and the new one is here!!!
I usually don't watch travel vlogs but this one is unreal!! I love you so much!! xo ❤
I am literally OBSESSED with these travel vlogs Jade! xxx
Hi Jade, I know it's like 2,5 years after you posted these vlogs but I love it so much! Right now I'm thinking about applying to one of the discoverEU tickets myself even though I have no idea wether it's gonna work out with corona or not but yeah, I guess that's life right now... So thank you so much for sharing your experience so people like me can have a feeling of what it's like to travel through Europe even though it might not work right now!
Your french accent is not bad really ! Very inspiring video ( i'm french btw )
Elise Bourgeon mais tu rigoles?
Vihan Jain of course she did!
These vlogs are sooo cool!
I love that you´re showing the good and the "bad" things about doing a solo backbacking trip
Watching these in lockdown and I love them so much!!
I’ve been searching for videos like theese for so long , looks like I’m going to be binge watching your travel videos , I’m 17 doing a-levels maths biology and physcology and want to travel when I’m 18 after I leave and these videos display the exact inspiration I needed
Hiii Jade! I just want to say that these vlogs are such a motivator for me. I’ve found myself in the exact same position as you in terms of being rejected by my dream university.. going to this school had been a dream of mine for so many years, I was absolutely devastated when I had to think of a new plan. Just like you I’ve decided to take a gap year and go travelling!! It’s just given me so much comfort knowing that someone like you is following the path that I now want to take, and seeing how much you’ve enjoyed travelling! It’s just enhanced your beautiful character so much more. If you could ever give me some tips and advice on how you planned and saved up for your trip, that would be fantastic. Love you!! 💖❤️💗💜💙🧡💛
Awhh this literally means SO much! ☺️ I'm sorry you got rejected from your dream uni (trust me, I know how it feels!), but I'm equally SO HAPPY that you're on a gap year too yasssss!! I'd love to make a video soon with all my advice etc! I hope that can help you out 💛 xxx
UnJaded Jade that would be amAzing. Post notifications ON haha and thank you. ☺️
I've just rewatched your '35 things to do in a gap year' video and am now doing a marathon watch of all your gap year videos! Got my GCSE results yesterday and am now feeling very inspired to go an do a gap year after A levels - thanks for all your amazing content! 😙
what results did u get if u dont mind sharing x
I love these! It's so nice to see the ups and downs of your experience because it feels a lot more honest and is super helpful for lots of us who want to travel in the future as well :)
These travel vlogs are honestly so good, I love the editing and Venice is my favourite place in the whole world so I cannot wait for the next vlog! :)

0:04 Thats our class, We thought you would not upload it happy to see you did :D!
Your travel adventures inspire me so much. When I travel to England this summer, I know I’m gonna enjoy it even more because of the Vorfreude that I get from watching these videos!
Because of you I did a bike trip around lake annecy a few weeks ago and it was STUNNING! 😍 literally the whole day felt like a dream. We stopped at a small beach and went swimming and it was literally so beautiful that I don’t have the words for it. If you guys have the chance to go around the lake by bike, do it!
Hi! I was just wondering if you minded sharing how you got to annecy? Did you go straight from Paris or is there an easier route? 🤍
These vlogs are really calming xx
I'm so glad ☺️🌟 x
This is mad inspirational and you’re so brave!!! I would love to travel alone but I’d get so lonely, you’re independence is insane though!! I can only just muster up the courage for a friends holiday 😂
This vlog is stunning! just like you! traveling to somewhere with few people and hitting into a wonderful place like this is so moving! almost cry right now
So glad you went to annecy! I was there in summer and was praying you'd go because it's the most beautiful place I've ever seen x
ps - watching the footage you got brings back so much happiness aha
Love you jade! You're such an inspiration to all of us. It's so nice to see you happy, it makes us happy as well! #girllove #myrolemodel
Annecy looks absolutely stunning!! your solo trip has really inspired me to make the effort to spend more time with myself :-) Can't wait for the next vlog! x 🌻🌻
Please please please make a video about how you planned this trip! I'm taking a gap year next year and I want to go travelling too! Maybe you could also talk about how you chose which places to visit? xx
Ahh your videos are always such a breath of fresh air! I had my Cambridge pre-interview assessment for Natural Sciences today; your video is the best way to unwind, and later get productive again. Thank you so much Jade, keep doing you :)
I hope the pre-interview assessment went well!! I imagine it was challenging. 😬
And awhh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️ lots of love (& good luck with Cambridge!) x
*Drops everything to watch Jade*
Ikr :)
Your channel is so inspiring and positive! Love youuuu
This made me want to go back to Annecy so much! I did the same cycle route as you btw!
Also, I'd definitely recommend you go back with your family because the restaurant scene is absolutely gorge !!
Annecy holds such a special place for me, in summer it's all about holidays at the lake, and in winter everyone spends their time skiing 😊
I love all these vlogs and how you adapt so well to the people and environments you're in
re-watching the playlist & absolutely loving it! love the editing and can totally relate to the way you feel in situations when your travelling solo! x
Although this all happend a year ago, and although I already saw the end, still watching each of these!! Loooving it so much🤩
Going back and rewatching these videos in the middle of my existential college crisis, so thank you for that Jade:)
That lake is gorgeous! It’s literally stuff dreams are made of 😱
i have never watched better travel vlogs!! its 5 am and i concluded my late night study session with this video. Love you, Jade.
I love how you're so positive, it makes watching these travel vlogs so much fun :) It's like we're all with you on your trip ❤️
Omg can’t say how much I love your travel vlogs & really wanna say that jade you have so many great personal traits & you’re amazing 💕
It's not even this video in particular but just generally you are soo inspiring and i hope you keep doing what you are doing.💗
This is so inspiring! I’d never thought of traveling alone but you’ve really opened my eyes to what beautiful things I’m missing out on! I’ll definitely add this to my bucket list. Thank you so much Jade
OMG looking forward to watching this🙈❤️
These videos are so pure and in the moment. I love it. (also love how you basically ate a whole baguette)
I'm so glad you liked Annecy, as that's near where I live. I'm glad someone is showing how amazing these alpine towns are xx
These vlogs are so much fun!!!!!!! Can’t wait to watch the rest of them!!
O my god jade this is so cool ! Your happines makes me smile so much. I’m just so happy for u
