It's so intriguing to see you go from an absolute student hustler for good grades and stuff to being so creative, so independent and so open to new possibilities. You inspire me to think that life isn't meant to live in one single conventional way. Love ya ❤️❤️❤️

[@looseygoosey23]

Precisely!!!

[@khalilahd.]

You’ve motivated me to also become a polyglot and though I’m currently learning Japanese my life goal has always been to learn Spanish and move to Spain (I’m in NYC right now) so seeing you live the life I want to one day live motivates me to work hard 💜

[@deepali6062]

I'm currently learning Spanish but I really wanna learn Japanese ;-;

[@aslanmmmdov8300]

i just wanted to say NYC is so so so far from my reality, since it is harder for me, as a person who lives in asia, going to USA than going to europe. And my goal is to study master in germany and then move to Spain and one day if i can get a green card and if i can be financially in an enough level, i can move to my dream country USA. But it is kinda funny that our goal is to move to Spain, however your current location is my dream, not even my goal. And i want to say that i hope you’re gonna achieve your all goals. Good luck with life, learning and everything.

[@deepali6062]

@@aslanmmmdov8300 As an asian I can relate sm w you and my dream city is new york too, it's all impossible for me as well ig but one day hopefully we'll achieve all our dreams.

Great 👍👍❤❤

[@taylor2533]

LMAOO we watch the same youtubers that’s wildd

[@Ayah01]

Everyone is saying that this video has made them so motivated and so on, but for me it didn’t, it actually did the complete opposite it made me think of how I’m still living in the same place I was born in, and how I’m still not doing great with achieving my goals, it made me think of how my mind is not so clear because for the past 2 years I can’t think properly or make right decisions and goals, and how I’m still a uni student who only wants to pass courses because she is not enjoying what she is learning yet doesn’t know the right destination. That doesn’t mean anything, for real no offense I really love Anna’s videos but the fact that I went through all these emotions in one video made me so sad.

[@PS-bn6st]

I'm 23 and i relate so much! honestly right now I'm just going to save money and get work experience so i can do this at some point

[@ramabhukta8336]

I was so sad, and was crying today because of the pressure of my studies, and you just posted a new video, thanks for making my day better without even knowing 🐢🍃

hey Anna, I've watched your content since 2020 when I was taking my GCSE's and they were such a big source of inspiration and motivation to me back then. taking my a levels this year and feeling burnt out so I came back here for some guidance and whoa girl I'm so happy I did. you're showing how you're taking an unconventional route and feeling confident about it, its really a reminder that life isn't just one straight path that we should all take. awe struck and inspired, huge respect to you for the many leaps you've taken so far. really proud of you girl, best of luck!

Love this, embracing change and adaptability! Video requests: skin and hair care, tattoos. 💗

*I can totally relate, I'm currently 19 years old and drop out of uni to explore more creative fields and potential of mine. But this few weeks I had been feeling so overwhelming, low and demotivated but being able to relate to your thoughts and emotions now helped me regained my confidence and gave me an inspiration, thank you so sooo much ANNA, you became my soul sister from now-on* 😉 *Sending you all good vibes from mee* 🤞✨💞

Hello Anna, how are you doing today.

[@Ella-is4pl]

Honestly I'm so so happy that you upload so often at this point and you also seem so much happier. Also I can relate to a lot of things you said about uni and moving and you made me feel better bc when you feel like doing something 'outside of the normality' then others (even ur parents) may judge you and I needed to hear that what I want and feel is actually pretty normal.

[@rubendaniel6569]

Hello Ella, how are you doing today.

[@rafaelavieira2870]

Anna you're amazing and the thing you said at 6:31 is still stuck in my head. I hope you make a video about some of you favorite books. Take care 💛

[@sydneyknese4106]

I just found your account and I absolutely love your videos. I visited Spain this past April and I was only there for 10 days but Ioved it and could see myself living there one day. Your videos have inspired to learn more Spanish to be able to move to Spain one day!!💛💛

Hi! Thanks for this and other videos. They really help me (and not only me) to stay in a good mood in the period of small autumn depression ^_^ When I started watching your video I was like "I should ask her and Spanish in Barcelona". But the question had been already put in it :) I hope you will make friends and feel like you live in Barcelona!

I’m glad that you’ve figured your way somehow. For me I was kinda sticking to my plan b (studying to become a teacher-my mom’s idea) and after finishing this I’m going for my plan a (studying in Barcelona to become a translator and interpreter -I like languages and the best uni for this degree is there in Barcelona) although I’m kinda scared to be alone too like you I feel like I have to try it at least and see how it goes and if I feel too lonely or don’t like it I’ll come back to tenerife. Btw it was thanks to you and your languages vídeos that I realized I wanted to become a translator so thanks so much ☺️💚

[@YaroslavaRussian]

Anna, that’s so cool! I become interested in Spanish thanks to your videos :) and glad to see you are going there. About friends - I am traveling a lot (a new country every 2-3 months), and leaving people is always sad, but at the same time, that’s the great feeling to get to know people with different backgrounds. And you literally can’t be lonely if you have so different people as friends

Hello Lena I follow you since long ago, I remember when you were studying in las islas Canarias. Glad you like my city. I just wanted to tell you that since you are a youtuber and live in Spain ,this september the new law came into place many youtubers left Spain already ,so be careful financially with "Hacienda" taxes ...they are no joke here in Spain. Best places to go el born, gotic neighbour, my neighbour is gracia. Take care 🥰🥰😘

Although uni is never a bad thing, I agree you don't need a formal degree to be successful. I'm half way through being done with my degree, but will I do a masters? Who knows, haha! You are an example of being successful w/o a degree so that's awesome 🥰 Also, awesome you are planning to learn Catalan and great job w/ Spanish!!! How are your other languages going?

I'm moving away from my country next week to start working abroad, and although I'm gonna be living with my dad I am still very nervous and stressed out about leaving my friends here and starting from zero. My biggest fear at the moment is feeling lonely all the time because I have no friends there and idk how to deal with that specific issue.
