THANKS FOR LETTING ME BRIING YOU ALONG :-) I am extra excited for the Maine vlog next. Here are links, time stamps + everywhere we went for my mobile viewer friends!
thank you for all your hard work on this!
❤
I'm excited for the Maine vlog. I'm not sure where you're going but Maine is where I was born and raised up until about 4-4.5 years ago. I moved to Southeast Virginia when I was almost 24, and I'm almost 28 now and I haven't been able to make it back. I'm excited to see a piece of home through your camera lens & the eyes of an explorer. I hope you have a great time. & I'm so incredibly proud of you through this season of life ❤️
My first thought every video you post “I’m so proud of her🥺” lol I’m just out here mentally supporting you Michel. I’m in a totally different place in my life than you but I have always just related to you as a woman dealing with life’s big challenging. I see the path God has created for you and it’s so glorifying🙌🏻
MACEY, this comment brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for the kind words, you made my day
I've lived in Boston for 25 years and seeing it through the eyes of someone exploring it for the first time made me super grateful to live in a really gorgeous city. Oh and apparently you can get Kane's Donuts shipped anywhere through Gold Belly (it's suuuuper pricey though).
You have a BEAUTIFUL city 🤍 and OOOH I AM GONNA DO THIS SOMETIME😍😍😍😍
I LOVE solo travelling! Also as a fellow people pleaser, I found that I didn’t feel the pressure to ‘make a plan’ when I solo travelled because I didn’t feel like I needed to make sure someone else had a good time 😕 I’d make full itineraries based around me feeling like I wasn’t fun enough to just exist with that person on a trip… now I love just existing all on my own in new and exciting places ☺️☺️
This is exactly how I feel and I didn’t know how to put it into words! It’s so freeing :-) :-)
Same
I felt this too 100%
@@MichelJanse ilove you
Me too! I love to do things on the spur of the moment when I travel, and I enjoy going solo.
recently ended a 6 year relationship, your videos inspire me to enjoy the solo life. 😭 thanks for sharing your experiences
Sending virtual hugs your way 🤍🤍🤍
Try taking a solo trip somewhere! It's actually fun.
Im gluten free and I cried tears of joy when you ate those donuts. I can 100% relate when you find a place that makes gluten free things you can eat and havent had in years its an amazing thing.
Same here! By the way, Lane’s will deliver nationwide through Goldbelly. Expensive but I did place an order because finally being able to have donuts and not the ‘cake’ kind) is priceless to me!
Kane’s, not Lanes :)
BECOME A CELIAC TRAVEL INFLUENCER ❤️ I loved and appreciated this so much I’m literally over here planning out my own celiac safe trip to Boston because of you 💕 happy to see you thriving!
Boston! I'm 20 minutes south, right on the coast between Boston and Cape Cod. Been here my whole life and love it. I have had so many field trips, with me growing up and chaperoning my kids' classes, at that Aquarium. One of my sons is in high school, working his butt off trying to get into Harvard. Say a prayer for my bank account.
the fact that you also went to Boston from Texas makes me so happy. I've been thinking about solo traveling to Boston and you're the first person I have found that's done it so thank you!!
I love everything about this vlog! First and foremost, because you are THRIVING Michel and we love to see it! I'm so incredibly happy for you! Secondly, I grew up in a city about 45 minutes outside of Boston (I now live in FL), and going into the city was one of my favorite things to do and I miss it so much! I can't wait to see the Maine vlog 🖤
Thank you sweet friend, life sure has been a lot lighter for me lately!🤍 I’m so glad you could come along “back home”with me in this one :-)
Michel - could you please make another Q&A type video around solo travel? Just sample questions like how did you feel renting a car alone, being alone in a hotel (what were your emotions), what do you think you would do differently for next time, do you mind sharing your trip budgeting
thank you 😊
As a Bostonian I’m so glad you had a fun trip! It’s fun to see the area through your eyes-reminds me how lucky I am to live in such a gorgeous place! :)
Been so looking forward to the travel vlogs! Hope you had an amazing trip!
Love the solo travel vlog! Always appreciate your shared stories/videos!
Love seeing you having a great time 💗
I love this solo trip vlog! Thank you for posting! Please do more solo trips! Living vicariously through you!
So glad it looks like you had fun on this trip! 🥰
I definitely, want to travel to Boston now.
Love that you're having such a food adventure and and enjoying solo travelling. Looking forward to the next part of your adventure.
Ahhhh! I’m so happy and thrilled for you!!! Been waiting for this vlog!!!! So so proud for you!!! 🤩🙏🏻
AMAZING vlog!! Thanks for bringing us along. I can see your confidence growing with every adventure; it is lovely to see!🥰
Proud of you little girl!!! You just continue to allow yourself to grow and evolve. It is such a joy to watch you navigate this season in your life. Can’t wait for our next adventure!!!
Yay so glad you had fun in Boston -- I live in the area and I love it!
Thank you for taking us along! I get excited about exploring local food when I travel too. The donuts looked delicious. You were really having a great time on your first solo trip.
Was looking forward to watching this all week!! So happy you got to do this Michel
You are looking so refreshed and happy! Love that for you!
Thank you for sharing Michel, love Boston and so fun seeing places I’ve been to. Enjoy yourself, you deserve it.❤️
What a great adventure!! So fun seeing you enjoy all the wonderful gluten free breads and desserts. I loved your happy face when you had the first bite of the donut. I’m looking forward to seeing your adventures in Maine. ☺️
It's always fun experiencing my city through someone else's eyes. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
Thanks Michel for bringing us along!!! 😊
You're so inspiring Michel and so brave to solo travel! So happy for you gal! Thank you for the gluten free recommendations too!
Loved getting to see you so joyous throughout this whole vlog! You were absolutely sparkling!
Loved it!! Thanks for taking us along!
So happy you found some delicious food you can enjoy.
What a fun trip! I’m so glad you decided to do this and just explore what you wanted. I’ve always gone on trips with others, but I can see how freeing it could be on one’s own too. Just be safe! I’m glad you are enjoying it!
i loved this vlog! can’t wait for the next!!!
Michel!! Omg that was the happiest coolest funnest vlog I’ve ever seen please do more! You look so happy it made me so happy! I can’t wait to see the next one!!
Hi Michel, I'm so so so proud of you 😗 it's looks like you have a great time and lovely adventure 💖. It's very inspirational for us to not be afraid and do what we want. I love you xxx I'm happy you did it and more happy for us to be there with you.
This video is just what I need right now. Love you and your content so much. I find you really lovely, motivating and calming. Perfect for my evening wind down xx Emma xx
Just absolutely thrilled to see you thriving in this vlog. So proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone. You are incredible Michel. Thank you for sharing your life with us. 🤗
This looked like so much fun! Glad you enjoyed it X
I was so excited to see your video come up I love your videos they are a blessing. Thanks for allowing to be part of your journey .
As always, I love your music choices. Love this vlog, so chill and happy 🤍
I loved Boston and the cemeteries there, we were only there for a day but did most of the freedom trail. So much history and beauty! Thank you for vlogging your adventures!
I loved your video of Boston so much. I admire your adventurous spirit and soloing as you see places to explore. The goods looked great and now I want a donut so much. Be safe on your travels. I loved the aquarium so much and history of Boston.
This whole vlog made me smile!!! :) So happy for you!!
Thank you for taking us to beautiful Boston with you! Great vlog and I'm looking forward to Maine, as well. I am so happy for you taking on this new phase of life as such a mature & confident young woman. Your inner happiness shows.
You made it to the food court!! Watching you enjoy that donut was the best!! Love that you came to Boston. And cannot wait to see you when you get to Maine. Love your videos!!!
Love the new intro music! Feels very bright and refreshed.
I think the old one is happier and sweet and this is more mellow but I like it
This is really inspiring!! 💛 hehe thanks for sharing your adventure with us
I feel so proud of you. You have come a long way and it’s beautiful. God bless you with all the happiness in the world.
Thank you for vlogging this! I want to solo travel but I’m always nervous about safety. I’m glad you included in your IG stories the b&b you stayed at because I also want to take a trip ❤️
My cousin has Celiac and literally just posted about her first experience with donuts in over 20 years and how she got super emotional. I actually teared up for you, I'm so glad you had your first solo trip and were able to find such a special treat!
So proud of you!! 💯💕
You are very brave for doing a solo trip. I think everyone needs to do this at some point in their lives. It looks beautiful☺️❤️. I hope you had a great time.
Love it!! I can’t wait til after I graduate to travel solo 😍 your adventures are so fun! I’ve never been to Boston or Maine but they are on my bucket list!!
Loved that you had such a great time in Boston! I’ve lived here my entire life but I love watching people experience it for the first time! I definitely take advantage of how historic and beautiful the city really is
Courageous and independent Michel💕! Happy for you!
I love seeing my city in vlogs! It’s so fun to see familiar places through new eyes!
I lived in Reading for a while in my childhood and have many fond memories of going to Boston, the common, Arthur Fiedler and the pops at the tree lighting, Filene’s basement…. So much! I love that town! And I love Maine too. Have a wonderful time Sweetie😀
Loveee watching these videos! I have never been to Boston so it was so cool to see some landmarks to put on my bucket list.
I also love a good simple glazed donut! 🍩
My boyfriend and I are going to Boston in a couple weeks and we're Celiac, so this is sooo helpful! Thank you for another great vlog and safe/happy travels, Michel!
You’re amazing!! Love you!!
I’m so stoked to rediscover your videos and see your travel ones. I’m visiting the US in July and Boston is one of our stops. Not a solo traveller but strict gluten free, so getting your recommendations are FAB! Thank you - carry on with the niche, it’s so appreciated!
I just love that you're such a foodie and do your research before you travel..I understand it is a necessity based on your health needs but its still so cute that you plan for treats too!! Thank you for sharing the aquarium and beautiful architecture💖
Oh Michel I'm so happy that you FINALLY GOT TO EAT A FRIED DONUT!! That must've been the most tasty treat you've had in FOREVER!! Successful trip I'd say!! Can't wait to see what you experience in your next vlog 😁. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
What a fun adventure!! Still so freaking proud of you for everything. Sending love!
:-) :-) thank you 🤍
❤ your solo travel vlog!! Can’t wait to watch your upcoming vlogs in Maine (and also in Greece!) :)
The food and latte look so good! 😋
Thanks for taking me along on your trip to Boston. It is a place I've always wanted to visit.
Commenting for more travel vlogs!! Love you so much and I’m so proud of you!
I am starting to go on more solo adventures, too. Thanks for the inspiration to get out there and try new things.
I love your solo travel serial so much!
SO lovely having you on the East Coast 🥰 You are quickly becoming my favorite UA-camr 💛
You go girl!!!
A lot of historical people are buried in those cemeteries. There was one with Samuel Adams and one with Paul Revere when I traveled there. Boston is such a wonderful walking town. So much to see everywhere.
Michel thank you for taking me to Boston today It was a great trip! Keep on keeping on girlfriend!
Glad you had a fabulous trip!
love the travel vlogs!!!
I love the solo travel ❤, loving the content ❤ can't wait for the next vlog ❤
Boston is one of my VERY favorite places to visit…especially on the weekend ( because of the street performers, if they still do that). I’m glad you enjoyed your visit!!❤❤❤🗺🌆.
Oh I love solo trips, no pressure about pleasing anyone else but make sure I'm happy, explore the places you want, eat and drink what you want, can't go wrong with that. Thanks for bringing us along, I enjoyed the shared adventure and can't wait til you get to Maine :-). Happy and safe travels!
Love! Love!!! Love!!! That you are enjoying yourself!!! Yes!!! Don't let anything stop you from enjoying this beautiful life!!! Not divorce not anything!!! Have fun!! Thank you for sharing!
I watched this video when it first came out and I thought it seemed so fun. I have my own solo trip booked for Boston and Maine now for this July. Thank you for being an inspiration! ❤
So excited you got to make this trip! I live in Portland, ME - I hope you loved it!
Love this for you !!
Love your vlogs!❤️❤️❤️
So exciting!!! My daughter lives there! When I visit I’ll have to visit some of your favorite spots! Definitely trying those donuts! Looks like you had fun! So proud of your solo travels!!! You must do more❤️
Boston native here! Watching this blog seriously brought me so much joy! I am so happy you had a blast!
I am loving your journey back to yourself. Such a beautiful transformation. Much love from SATX.
I used to travel once a year solo before I got married. I loved it! I truly hope you do it more often.
Maine follower here!!! 💓💓 I am so excited to see where you traveled.
I travel alone and twice to Boston!!!! It’s the best and you do more without realizing. Good for you!!
I’m all in for a ‘Michel Hits The Road’ series! Thanks for bringing us along! Also makes great foodie content 😋
I lived in Boston for 15 years and it’s honestly the perfect place to do a little solo exploration as “Boston proper” is pretty small and made to be on foot. It’s always nice to be reminded of how lovely and charming my former home truly is. ❤
(also…Nine Zero was my go-to staycation hotel. I’ve stayed in doubles, suites, and the Cloud Nine penthouse before it was renovated. It has changed immensely since covid - some of the best room service breakfast in town before the pandemic changed their service level. It is my favorite Kimpton but you’re right, things have changed😢).
The growth Michel 😭🙌👏😍🎉💃 Inspired and proud of you girl ❤️
I am so proud of you Michel!!!!! Maine is not just the next state you went all the way to the East Coast. I’m not sure the lobster roll was worth that much money but that’s what trips are for experiencing new things. What a great shopping area, thanks for taking us along, I’ve never been to Boston so thank you for sharing❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please do more of these travel vlogs - I love them!
Yay, you went to the market!
Such a helpful vid - I'm going to Boston in a few weeks so I now have a great list of GF food places to try, thanks to you! 😄
OBSESSED with your solo travel series already!!! You def need to make these more! Love to see you living and thriving
I like this type of video but I was shocked at the price of Lobster ha!
Yessss Maine!! It’s the best but I might be biased since I’ve lived here my whole life. Boston is obviously great too!
