Zoe: *going away for an entire summer* Also Zoe: *starts packing the day before*

[@tashapolis]

I love seeing your time in London!! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@readbyzoe]

I miss you too! I'm so bummed I missed hanging with you this summer!!

[@Dhor16]

Poor roommates had no idea what they were getting into with all these vlogging LOL :D I'm already anxious for the next one!

[@readbyzoe]

My roommate actually watched my videos before we met, so I lucked out haha!

[@karacrompton677]

readbyzoe idk sounds a little weird if you asked me. You should keep an eye on her, sounds like she might be some sort of stalker.

[@Evar0se]

Wha- what?

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

HAD TO PAUSE AND SAY -- -probably over packed!?!? ZOE I WAS LIKE - THAT'S IT? HOW DO YOU LIVE XD

[@readbyzoe]

It was still over 50 pounds I DON'T KNOWWW (I mean, I did pack all my filming stuff so maybe???)

[@sambailey7688]

One time I went on a two day trip I filled a duffel bag a rolling suitcase and a backpack to the point where i could barely zip it and you call that over packing

[@sunpi]

You can see how much her dad adores her

[@BasicallyBrittx]

I'm DIGGING your super organized suitcase 😍 I'm already loving these vlogs! London is my favourite city in the world! ❤

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Btw please go and see Les Miserables! It's the best (and my favourite) play on the West End and I'm sure you'll love it 😍

[@SometimesRainie]

IKR! When i saw how she organised and i was like ‘i neeeeed to pack like her’ 😅😂

[@davidaston5773]

You're the beautiful lady who does vlogs about the USA? Subscribed. I was born on 4th July so visiting USA would be extra nice. You've visited London on a regular basis? Last time I was there was quite a while ago.

[@eleonoragiannetti3603]

I love how she packed! It's strange to me seeing rolling clothes instead of folding LOL

[@raymondhoward9173]

Fascinating young woman

[@MadiganinPeach]

I love the thumbnail for this you look so happy 😍 your freakin smile girl it could light the world! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@readbyzoe]

What a wonderful compliment! Thank you!

[@MadiganinPeach]

readbyzoe no problem! Your smile is contagious! 🖤🖤 I totally grinned when I saw it XD

[@jadewainwright7535]

I miss your dad for you his appearances in your videos are always the best

[@jessethereader]

[@thesabunaccount]

did anyone else have a heart attack when she put the necklaces in the ziplock bag

[@rachaelelizabethbam5087]

thespianreads why?

[@noannellesky9360]

Rainbow Child Rae Because they're going to get incredibly tangled and possibly even damaged 😅

[@tessavery2151]

I wish I could visit London! I'm so excited for this vlog series...

[@itsmariaa18]

[@kelliedetter8403]

I love seeing you with your Dad. I'm close to my parents and it's always nice to see it with other people too.

[@sav1052]

I saw that play when I went to London in March! It is HYSTERICAL. I'm seeing it again when it comes to my city in winter.

[@Karla.Molina]

Zoe this is weird but has anyone ever told you you are like the embodiment of contemporary books😂😂 Like your aesthetic, your style, the color scheme of your channel just reminds me of contemporaries and contemporary books characters. I'm weird 😂😂❤️

[@Lani1989]

"Hellooo Ladies" Lol, I died when she said that! Good to see that you're settling in well, and hat your roommates are cool with vlogs! Can't wait to see your studio tour vlog!!

[@ahobbit111]

I hope there'll be a vlog from when you went to the Royal Wedding. Have lots of fun! I am going to England and Scotland this August and cannot wait!

[@kevinkelly_]

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Omg I’m just at the packing sequence so far and I LOVE THIS

[@IffyAdan]

YAAAAAAAY! I was literally just binge watching your vids! Missed you on KZbin!

[@cassiescorner2906]

Hey Zoë! Thanks so much for the vlog!!! I know your channel is booktube, but as a fellow curly girl, I would ADORE seeing your curly hair routine😊 Maybe you could add that, as well as your normal make up routine, to one of your vlogs? Love ya, and can't thank you enough for the happiness and joy your videos bring. They've helped me through some dark times in my life these past 3 years I've been subscribed to you, and whenever I need a laugh or a smile, I just watch one of your videos✨

[@orasolomons]

Oh my goodness child where have you been I've had to go on adorable Zoe withdrawal why did you do this to me 😂 Ps. Enjoy London! If you need any good vegan restaurant recommendations i highly recommend Tibits, Mildreds and the Wild Food Café. All of these places can be found in the covent garden and Soho area.

[@erinmariecece]

Aww Zoe, I loved this! The beginning with the packing and your dad was so great, and then watching you make friends in London. You need to keep us updated on your adventures!

[@genderpunktheo]

I'm a new subscriber and I'm so glad I picked this one to start with! You're so cheerful and positive and it's really making my day. Plus now I'm even more excited for vlogging my own trip to London next week!

[@haemeelee9311]

I see Zoe, I click her video. It’s that simple. I have missed your videos. It’s so good to see you all excited about your life in London. Have fun!

[@claudiafusco9977]

this vlog reminded me when i went to Liverpool to study for a whole year! I got pretty emotional with your video, it is such a magical and crazy experience to be away from everything you know. i'm sure it will be absolutely great ♥️ and good luck with your internship, you will rock it!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@_xanna]

you and your dad have such a great relationship, its nice

[@katiebowden1880]

You look so good in braids! It makes you look very professional😂

[@charlotl]

Fighting the fangirl urge to ask if you'd like to meet up for a coffee and book trawl in London so hardddd

[@rekhakrispin2427]

[@sandyreadsalot]

It was great seeing a new video from you! I can’t wait to see more vlogs!

[@thaliaperales9610]

I’m so happy for you Zoey! You inspire me to do more!

[@alexlopez2867]

At the end of the vlog, could you talk about application process, cost estimate, etc of the internship? I'd love to intern abroad, but have no idea where to start looking or even if I can afford it. Love you!

[@JessicaaMusica]

You passed Foyles! Would honestly know those flags anywhere😂 you have to go it’s completely incredible and my spiritual home! Best bookshop ever

[@BlinkFly]

I recently read the book Wanderlost (and loved it) the beginning of this video reminded me of the beginning of that book so much for some reason and I loved it! I just hope you have the best time you are so sweet and it made me so sad that you were homesick.

[@bluejay5531]

Enjoy your stay in London! Live it to the fullest! xxx

[@Lucy-nt6lm]

[@emilyn150]

[@danielle5980]

Enjoy your time in London. I loved it when I visited back in 2013 although I only went for four weeks.

[@YBizzy1]

Your relationship with your father reminds me of mine 😂 it's so cute that he comes to visit you ! And your organization is so aesthetically pleasing 😍

[@abbieb8918]

You came to the uk at just the right time, it’s going to be so hot this week! I’m actually going to London on Thursday with my school. Hope you have fun this summer! ❤️

[@cathyenfield]

I love getting to follow you on this journey. I'm going through a similar time in my life having just finished college, and I find your videos incredibly inspiring! Love you, x

[@rishikadembani8807]

I am so happy!! I missed you zoe!! Love you!! Hope you're having an amazing time in london!Sending lots of lovee❤️❤️

[@sindrealight5182]

I'm planning on going to London for spring break next year! Be sure to buy some books with pretty UK covers~ I think Strange the Dreamer (was it the special edition?), An Ember in the Ashes (this one might be out of print), Uprooted, and Nevernight all have super awesome UK covers.

[@Stefana-U]

I am so happy for you Zoe, good luck on your internship In 2 weeks I am also moving to London and I haven't prepared anything, so I relate to you packing the night before leaving.

[@KeeleyJo]

Ahh I miss London so much! Glad you’re having a great time!!

[@ReadByJess]

I am loving your London vlogs already! Can't wait to see all the things you get up to

[@mayakainn3127]

Homesickness is such a normal thing when being away so far from home! In 2017 I did an Exchange year in Japan and I totally cried myself to sleep as well the first night!

[@aylinoz8675]

Yayyyy. I’m so jealous though...I’ve always wanted to go to London🤗🤗

[@mickeywinston6577]

Your hair is so beautiful😍😍

[@freeinfiction]

I’ve always wanted to visit London!! I hope you have the best time, Zoe!!!

[@jinghay]

[@zoegabrielle1201]

This is so helpful! I’m studying in Germany in a few months!

[@janennebro3982]

Zoe DeWalt I hope you will have a good time in Germany 😊

[@NataliaIsabella0]

YAY LONDON! One of my top 2 favourite cities in the world. Hope you're still loving it there! A few q's: Will you have time to make videos in London? Hope so, but obviously don't stress yourself out over it and put work first! Also, how did you get your internship? Sound so cool, and I've been thinking about studying/working abroad in 2020, and all the ideas are very welcome, as I know basically nothing about how to get there rn hahah. Anywayyy, hope you're having a great day rn Zoe! Hugs from Finland xx

[@madelinemaria4197]

Vera Bradley make up bag FTW!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@jerrpie]

Sounds like a lot of fun!! I Hope you're enjoying your time in London!

[@anonymousg9728]

The moment u left ur dad at the airport, i cried.. i hate these moments when someone has to leave their homeland and the people they love for whatever reason..

[@ceci843]

[@kklg2011]

I've been waiting for this update and I'm so excited for you! Now I'll just be here waiting for that Harry Potter World vlog! 😄😄

[@BeckyLStoutWriter]

[@SometimesRainie]

I LOVE YOU ZOE!!!!! i hope you have fun and wish you luck!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CompletelyMelanie]

Hey Zoe! I love all your videos. I have been watching for a very long time now and I am so excited to watch all the videos you make while in London this time as well. I am dying to know, where can I get those individual pink things that you used to put your clothes in while packing and what are they called? I travel a lot and those seem like they would be so convenient. Lol, I love how tickled your dad was getting while you were talking in the car on the way to the airport. I hope you were finally able to get a good nights sleep! Hope you are having a blast!

[@SK-wf5vr]

I’m so excited for you!!! I’m gonna be studying abroad too the next upcoming semester so I’m so glad to have a friend to be on the same boat with me (kinda) :P
