I've lived in Italy for just over 3 years and sometimes i forget how beautiful it is, seeing this country through your eyes, and your passion for its beauty is truly refreshing.

[@ginevra4625]

It's so weird to see my city from a youtuber's eyes but I'm also so happy to see you enjoying it by living there for a longer time. I understand that not everyone has the time to stay more than a week, but most people stay for just one or two days and cannot really live the city for how it is and cannot support the many small businesses that are disappearing to leave space to chains and tourist shops. After getting an art history degree, I hope you can feel at home even if it's your first time here!

[@moyamawhinney]

ahhh!! your city is so beautiful and feel so lucky to be here for another month :')) going back to the same places for coffee or gelato is one of my fav parts of slower travel and everyone is so friendly hehe - if u have any recs lmk! xx

[@ginevra4625]

@@moyamawhinney I’m sorry I thought I answered! I live in Santo Spirito so I’d say anything around there, Cammillo is my fav spot to eat even if it’s a bit pricey, La casalinga is very good and cheap, 5eCinque if you wanna eat vegan, le Volpi e l’Uva for a glass of wine and a crostone. Check out Todo Modo, it’s my favorite bookshop in Florence. Or just sit in Piazza Santo Spirito drinking a coffee and read a book :))

[@sidneyredjo]

You're living life to the fullest and I'm here for it✨🧿

🥺🥺🥺🥺 thank you!

[@cheshterlangit4502]

is it just me or i just love the way she romanticises her life??

[@kirakhlous]

this incredible video reminded my feeling when i used to draw. why used to? because lately ive been so tired and "busy", so my art is not bringing me any emotions and feelings as it used to. so after this video i realised that i want to get out of my "art block" and keep drawing, keep being creative. so thank you moya!

[@CamDoesIt]

Ahh I’ve been feeling this same way! It’s so hard to remember to prioritise art and creativity when the world screams “productivity” and “being busy”. It’s definitely such a nice feeling to be realigned with your creativity after going through a rut though

[@moyamawhinney]

honestly this is how ive felt for the past few years!!!! thank u so much for being here and all the best with your art love !

[@michelleleon]

It's so inspiring to see you doing what you love! You're GLOWING 💕

[@moyamawhinney]

i adore u thank u for being here omg

[@juliacarlsson9047]

I’m staying in florence right now, and rewatching your vlogs from here, walking the same streets and visiting some of the same places is a completely insane and wonderful feeling!!!!

[@briannarose8569]

Ugh I adore your vlogs so much! They always allow me to stop, take a break and relax throughout my day and it really feels like I am there with you! Makes me want to book a holiday!

[@ninanegedu]

You give us so much inspiration to take life head on. Thank you so much, Moya☺️

[@moyamawhinney]

🥺🥺🥺🥺 this.

[@HannahlovesStories]

What a dream!! I also studied art history at university and had the opportunity to visit Florence before I graduated. It was so surreal to see pieces that I had learned about in person. I can't even imagine just how completely magical it would be to learn to paint in Florence where so many great painters/artists refined their skills 🤩

[@betsyyy1364]

my favorite vlog is when you show your art or what you do in your career, thanks♡

[@valed7501]

watching other people making their dreams come true is always such inspiring!!! it motivates me on making mine come true :)
