Europe (yes I’m allowed to generalise, I’m from Germany lol) is literally so gorgeous, there’s something about the vibe in each different country that is just so refreshing, things feel new but at the same time so familiar, and even as an introvert, there’s something very comforting about walking around most European cities

I remember watching this video when it came out and being super jealous that you could go to Italy for your studies. Now half a year later I'm actually going there for a uni related course too! So weird how the universe works sometimes

[@tasnimcore]

Congratulations!

[@albaaviles7148]

Same, I was wondering how it would feel to be studying in Italy since I’d never been there before (I’m from Spain) and a year later I’m here in Italy having almost finished my first semester at uni! Well, I’m in South Tyrol so not 100% Italy but most people I know are Italian so I’m still gonna count it lol

[@wpstiatwian13]

Hi Deborah! i’m Italian and I literally got emotional watching how you captured my country with this video: the music, the footage, the scenery, and yourself! everything is so beautiful! Can’t wait for the next video! I’m so glad that I discovered this channel, your videos are very healing! You are so amazing, love u!!!

I have worked for two universities for almost 20 years and I must say to you youngsters…..GO OUT THERE AND SEE THE WORLD AND GO ABROAD AND SEE THE WROLD IF YOU CAN. The amount of education you get is priceless! I promise it is something will always be grateful for. 😇🥰🙏 Love the video and stay safe! ❤️❤️🙏 I’m off to Italy in four weeks! Yay! 🤗

[@alyssaclaire2896]

Honestly nobody ever talks about how hard it is to be an introvert. Like I love my friends, I love spending time with them, but sometimes it's just painful. You have to give yourself that space even when you don't want to, because that's the only way you can rebuild your energy. Loved this video btw, keep doing what you're doing

[@Mary-kw2wq]

hi deborah! i just started watching your content this week and it has genuinely helped me so much. im about to be a freshman in college and i have had so much anxiety about what college is going to be like. your videos have been really beneficial to me and showed me that, while there are obviously going to be bad days, there are going to be good days that hold more importance then bad ones. i’ve pretty much binged watched all your videos up until this one and, while i’m still feeling anxious in some ways, i feel a lot more content about leaving home and going to school. thank you so much for all the effort and love you put into your content!!

[@ghibliwei]

this!!!

[@icahopilm898]

you're not the only one anxious about college!!! watching what's in my bag videos personally helps me!

I hope you’re doing better Mary! Deborah is one of my favorite KZbinrs too 💛

This whole video just makes me wanna pack my backpack, leave all my responsibilities and just move around Europe on my own meeting other adventurers and learning different languages by talking to strangers - some day, okay, some day I rlly need this!

It's so heartwarming seeing foreigners actually appreciating my country and taking their time to really feel it. I'm from the same area you were staying in but I'm currently living in another country so this video brought back so many memories in such a beautiful way and I just love how you captured it's beauty in a very real and genuine way. The editing is obviously amazing and gorgeous as all the other videos but this one just hits different. Thank you so much for this amazing gift✨❤️

[@ughfedi]

there's something quite magical about seeing the country where you live in through the eyes of someone who doesn't and just fall in love with it once again

[@vikki237]

I love how you can hear everyone laughing and talking in the background of the last clip- It's so nice to see everyone just existing and getting to know each other. The Studio Ghibli vibes in this vlog are immaculate- I can't wait for the next one : )

is it just me who likes her videos before watching? cause i know every vid will be a masterpiece!

[@tondalayoqueenoftheC]

I’m living in Barcelona which is on the coast of Spain and the other day I happily referred to the water I was in as the ocean and my native friend GASPED and said “no, this isn’t the ocean!” And I’m like all confused and she’s like this is the sea, there’s a difference. I think it’s an American thing to call it the ocean hahahaha

[@faith3249]

i think this is such a cool program and i’m so happy for you to have been able to participate! i’d love love love to go to italy one day, as well as japan and france. i’ve watched you for so long and adore all of your videos. love you deborah!!!

[@daiz8098]

It’s so cool that you got to experience this!! Going to italy has always been a dream of mine and this video has really just made that dream bigger. Ive never been out of my home country so seeing this video kinda comforted me in a way, it was almost like I was literally there with you, it’s hard to explain it lol. But I cannot wait to see part 2!!

As an Italian, the country itself is really beautiful, as for the people...eh...you coukd say theyre pretty racist

Guuurl, make the video about what you learned about their food system! That's was one of my favorite subjects in college (we learned about the different fermentation processes in food industry) 😩💖

[@emmamclain5592]

I recently got approved for my schools study abroad in program in Italy and I’m so excited and this video is making me even more excited! I’m gonna be in Florence most of the time studying art history this summer for 4 weeks :))) the program you went on is super interesting though! I can imagine food study is really fascinating

[@nishinico]

hi!! i live there, right next to Bologna and ita strange to see someone 'romanticize' your everyday life haha. it's funny but it kinda also made me change my point of view and made me appreciate things more :)) I'm really happy u liked it there!

[@uyuvt]

you really made your time in italy look like it came straight out of the movies! so glad you had this chance to study abroad and lots of fun with it:-)

[@elle.anne.]

Hi, I've never commented on one of your videos before, but I've been watching for a long time and felt compelled to comment today! Your videos have brought me so much joy in the past year, and I'm so grateful to you for making them! This last year has been pretty rough for me and I've worried a lot about the future. Seeing your vlogs have made me excited rather than nervous for college and adulthood. I really admire how your videos romantizice and appreciate everything without ignoring the fact that life isn't always romantic and beautiful. I could say more, but I'll keep it brief and just say that you and your videos inspire and comfort me frequently. Thank you so much! I hope Italy was lovely.

[@dobochobo]

that's so sweet AHHH i appreciate you so much!! thank you for sticking around :))

[@khalilahd.]

I don’t know how but you seem to only get better with time! I love your editing and I love that you get to create and make such incredible memories. Can’t wait for more Italy vlogs! 💛

ahh it's so wonderful to watch you grow and support your journey!! it was so interesting when you went in-depth with your study abroad program since i've been more familiar with the exchange programs. this is such an unforgettable experience to build your personal development and global mindset :') the packing cubes were such a neat idea! i'm going to study abroad in a few weeks as well and i have noo idea where to start with the suitcase 😭

[@dobochobo]

omg i definitely overpacked but the packing cubes were a lifesaver, esp since we had to pack our bags and travel every couple of days! highly recommend :))

The way you're filming is so beautiful omg !! The shots just seem to come from a movie (the CMBYN inspiration is so good), that was a really pleasant vlog to watch

[@siberilex]

hi dobochoba! i came across one of your videos on my feed just this morning and i’ve been exploring your channel the whole day. i’m only gonna be a sophomore in high school this year, but watching your videos assure me that college just isn’t about studying and working your butt off! it’s also about the freedom you get as a young adult and having the ability to make your own choices and when it really comes down to it, school isn’t **everything**. i have rly bad anxiety about the future/college and not being able to keep up with grades even though i’m still a sophomore in high school.. i try to comfort myself with videos like this and also just looking all over sites like quora and reddit to maybe see others in my situation and what advice people have given them. i’ve come to found that grades, gpa, and major tests do of course matter and you should focus on them, but there’s 24 hours in a day and you’ll definitely be able to have free time to do the things you want to do. you’re still young and your head shouldn’t always be worried about school. while you’re still young, live and explore. hardships will come, but what’s life without a little difficulty? you have to learn from those experiences so that you can have even better experiences in the future. this was sort of a rant and advice for myself to read whenever i’m having hard times.. with this in mind, thank u for uploading these videos even with tour busy schedule! they are a source of comfort for thousands out there and as viewers, we’re also all so happy to see u living wonderfully!! enjoy italy!!! it’s absolutely gorgeous and you as well!!

ahhhhh this is just . . . my favorite video! probably out of every youtube video i've ever watched. i waited until late afternoon to watch this, after i'd done my chores and exercised and gotten a nice cup of tea. (productivity yk :D) it was so hard to wait! but the reward was worth it :) i genuinely could not stop smiling at the beautiful scenery and charm of italy. my choir is going on a tour this year, and i'm desperately hoping that it will be in italy, especially after watching this vlog and seeing the pictures on your instagram. so so so excited to see more content from your travels

[@noellennhed7621]

i can relate to what you said about kind of struggling with the amount of social interaction and the lack of alone time while going abroad. i visited my boyfriend's parents in cali for almost a month this summer (we live in sweden) and it was so tough at times not being able to just take a nap or walk away due to not being at home. just know that it does get better and it really helps to het that 48h sleep/isolation once you get home 😅🫶

Deborah! Your editing is phenomenal. Something about this video feels so comforting. This program seems so interesting. When I was in 11th grade, I had a group assignment where we partnered with a farm known for their regenerative farming methods. We had to compare their farming methods and the quality of their products to ones from local grocery stores. Seeing you do this internationally while having this immersive experience is so exciting. I am so down to see that video about how parmesan reggiano and prosciutto is made. I'm so happy you've been enjoying yourself! I hope you've been well. I'm excited to see the next vlog.

[@MarianaRau]

for your "I think Spanish helped" thingy, I just want to say yes, it did. I'm a Portuguese native speaker, I'm from brazil, and so far of all the languages I attempted to learn (right now I'm learning Korean) all the Latin derivated ones were the easiest. so to me French, Spanish, and Italian are all easy languages to learn, they're not the same, but since I'm already a Latin language speaker, it helps a lot. good luck with your study abroad, I hope you have fun
