I Took A Solo Trip To A Mountain Town (Idyllwild California VLOG)

FYI, I tested negative for COVID twice in the past week and a half. Of course, as an at-risk person, I was terrified I had it. Trust that I did not, and would not have traveled if I did, of course.

[@RiecesPeace]

Every minute of this vlog was so peaceful and inspiring. I felt like I was there. Kinda felt like a movie. It’s crazy.

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Thank you so much! I hope it comes across just how relaxing this retreat was!

[@hunnyflower4514]

Hey! I’m a local up near Idyllwild. Please be careful and always let people know where you’ll be going. A bunch of people recently went missing from the Idyllwild-Pine Cove area and the causes for their disappearances are unknown, so it’s always best to exercise caution.

[@cvaldes114]

Any news on why they disappeared?:(

[@JarrodAlagao]

@@cvaldes114 one of the more popular theories is that it's related to drug cartel activity. At least that's what one of the people who were found believes

[@cvaldes114]

@@JarrodAlagao thanks for clarifying i wanted to go but not anymore

[@Backintime4you]

Wow thank you ! My husband and I were thinking of moving here. Our jobs are in the city and this would be a perfect drive for both of us. I didn’t know people went missing

[@ezymuffin]

California mountain life is the life for me. Really reboots your soul.

[@StockSpotlightPodcast]

Until you see sasquash

[@rebekkam937]

You are so authentic and lovely, Gabriela. I'm watching this from Copenhagen where the corona situation has worsened a lot the past days/weeks and this put me at ease. Thank you, I am so grateful.

[@marilynmoreno9688]

You're a really cool person. You just seem like you would be a really good friend and super humble. Love this video!! Mochi is adorable btw haha

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Thank you so much! That is so sweet. Mochi is the best huh? haha

[@eliandabilities]

As a regular visitor of Idy , it makes me so happy to see people enjoy the town and environment for the first time !! It’s so cool that you love it out there , during the winter the snow is beautiful ❤️

[@brittneyk0158]

A solo getaway! So relaxing! Soooooo BRAVE! Thanks for sharing your time with us! 🙏🏼

[@rockermystic]

I love Idyllwild, we used to go there every summer when I was a kid. Did Mochi get a haircut? He looks so handsome! A word of warning about Moldavite, don't sleep with it on you or near your bed, you can have tons of lucid dreams (sometimes healing, but usually just annoying), and/or wake up with a massive headache. Enjoyed this vlog very much! 💗 (Also a 😍 for Maluma)

[@brettandjackie]

I love Idyllwild. Been there many times, twice just me and the doggo. Very peaceful and serene. Thanks for sharing

[@quantumwombat]

I LOVEEE the Cats soundtrack! Grew up with my mom playing it in the kitchen while she cooked

[@heatherwillis8930]

This is what I need...to go somewhere alone and get back in touch with myself! I will definitely be using your Airbnb link sooner than later. I grew up on JT too. My first concert was with my parents as an 8 yr old at Carowinds seeing him. Great find!

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Yes, it was a simple little getaway but so lovely! Let me know where you end up going!

[@makedam9263]

This was THE best video I’ve watched in video in my entire life! Please make more of this 😭😭 I’ve looked up independent trips and they always go to extravagant places and I just want something chill and in nature as this omg omg so underrated! I wish I was that person that can rewatch videos but I can’t lol ❤️❤️

[@jackiek4159]

Idyllwild is absolutely stunning! 😍 Mochi is sooo adorable too! Loved this vlog so much! 🙌🏻💞

[@fashionquirks]

Beautiful vlog! The place you visited looked like something out of a film, thanks for sharing it with us! Stay safe! 😊

[@clair8776]

What a wholesome, invigorating video. This vacation was more than perfect!!!!! Gave me new life just watching it.

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Thank you, Clair!!

[@sarabrooks4211]

Agh I love your beautiful airy voice. I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been binging all your videos for the past week. I feel like we’re friends. I love your vibe.

[@mishabee932]

I literally bought my first piece of moldivite yesterday!!! Its so cool seeing others open to working with cosmic energies.

[@saraht-ds1ml]

Drink plenty of hot water with squeezed lemon and honey.

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

I think if the fires continue you should go for an extended visit to your family to get away it can’t be good the sound of your voice. Beautiful place by the way take good care of yourself you are much loved.

[@jesselin_7156]

I love your Dita glasses 👓 and high five for that amazing antiglare coating!! I love the vibe and mochi or moshi is so cute. Can you make a video about your experience with him 🐶 and what kind of food you make him. I see you always say you want to make him food. This was amazing 😉 video though totally felt the autumn 🍂 vibe

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Yes, they're great huh! I love my optometrist. Sure, maybe I'll do a Mochi Q&A or something. I make him the Whole Wheat Macaroni and Turkey recipe from Just Food For Dogs!

[@lexialves]

The hobbit that I truly am loves everything about this video

[@evolili4245]

You are gorgeous! And the color of the sweater really suits you, I always thought you were a winter type.

[@melinagonzales2262]

Honestly you are so relaxing to watch

[@lindareese4579]

I'm so happy you get to get out like that...and take your cute dog with you....I like big dogs myself ..German Shepard s....may God bless you..

[@oliviatheresa]

Traveling alone for some peace is always great....I know as a woman sometimes we are nervous about traveling alone but having a dog with you is great and if you let people know where you are and use wisdom and travel safe it can be wonderful! Don't be afraid to be a female and travel....but always be safe🤗

[@elusiveinnocence]

this gives me nostalgia from when i went on a mountain trip to Slade, KY! It is my top favorite trip ive ever been on. This looks gorgeous i’m jealous!!

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Oh wow, I've never been there! If it's anything like Idyllwild, I'd love it!

[@reemyaj]

you uploading regularly was the only good thing that came out of 2020

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Reem Yj *screams* thank you 😭😭😭

[@consquatch7061]

Every October 10 we go to silver pines lodge and stay at the pioneer cabin. It’s nice 👍 and also the owner has dogs so a+ it fits like 5 people

[@Gwendalynn0816]

This blog has helped me relax 😌 🙂 what an awesome getaway.

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

So happy to hear that!

[@aarondoherty8762]

This is the exact video I needed right now. Thankyou for that💕

[@danieladragomir9494]

Dear Francesca I discovered your lovely personality in the video with the fairy dust fragrance (and honey all I can say you are so humble and relaxing to watch,Mochi as well😍 he is a cutie) With this wideo you got me to appreciate the small things in life❤🍁☕💯 Don't ever change!! Hugs and kisses from Italy 🤗🤗 I would love if you would do vlogmass or some kind of holiday decoration /decor in future videos.

[@nehaprasad9866]

I love these kinda videos...and you reached Meredith(soul navigation) have been obsessed with her for an year and half. Take care

[@saraht-ds1ml]

Get a dehumidifier, or a humidifier that will also help. ❤️

[@pebblessal8389]

Really enjoyed watching your getaway video it looked amazing !!!!! Also love your choice of books ❤️

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Why thank you!

[@pinkfabulous248]

Great vlog. So scary about fires! 🤗🤗🤗

[@smariec184]

Now I need a get way! Love the 4 day none washed hair lol it actually looked really pretty with the side swept bangs.

[@Charlotte33724]

your videos make me so happy

[@mgut1985]

Very nice and peaceful vlog! Thank u!

[@cordeliagrayyy]

i was that coffee snob lol, but I drink mine black so the flavor really matters. I have the same issue with water, drinking unsweet pure leaf black tea has been a life saver for me in terms of cutting out sugar and calories and keeping my skin clear. I don't know why but soda breaks me out terribly

[@justyoutubing4285]

*MOVIE-LIKE* 😍😌😊. I even felt sad in the end (sniff)... and Mochi💚 didn't help 😆. Really liked this vlog. #Perfect

[@drea.m4161]

Idk you but I fucking love you after this video

[@aymannagib4135]

Gabriela that’s amazing you know what’s most crazy thing you are Leo and this time is scorpion thing 😂

[@komoru]

You don't realize how bad the air quality is in L.A. until you go up to the Idyllwild.

[@laina6219]

Very nice vid, happy for you :) Making me want to run away to my ranch up in Coloma CA... since Covid broke out havent been to my ranch

[@andreashinsg]

I wish we have that here in Singapore! I love watching your videos :)

[@Lana-or5dz]

Aaw! Reminds me of me and my doggie. I take her with me every where

[@maggiewhite971]

loved every minute of this

[@RinaRunaway]

You go girl!

[@JarrodAlagao]

I came here from watching a video about the recently missing people in the area. This is all tripping me out right now lol

[@GypsyRose5273]

Paranoia can trip you out like that. For the love of all...people are so gullible and easily scared into paranoia.

[@danielwalker1502]

I enjoyed your blog I have a moldavite pendant to I bought it in Seattle at the bottom of the Space Needle in a little shop 10 / so years ago it is not made from this Earth they are really cool

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

So awesome!!

[@danielwalker1502]

I believe my grandparents owned a cabin in Idyllwild and when we were kids we went there it looks a lot like the cabin you stayed in not for sure but I'm glad you had a nice stay it is a place that always made me feel like home the family sold the cabin 15 or 20 years ago

[@Elise.Celeste.]

You have some good music taste! Next time you should totally leave the songs in the description, it fits well with the aesthetics might I add lol, hope everyone is having a great day spread the love 💕

[@chelseydowney2374]

That looks beautiful I love nature too!!

[@oliviabell9691]

As far as water, what about LaCroix Pure? That's the one that doesn't have any questionable "natural flavor" in it. It's just carbonated water. It makes it super easy for me to drink water. I like the fizz. If the aluminum cans bother you, I totally understand, there are other sparkling waters that come in glass bottles too, I'm sure you know that. A bit more expensive, but maybe worth it, if it helps get you hydrated. Anyway, just tryin to help. I don't like plain water either.

[@ravenswood118]

Everyone freaks out about Twin Peaks and the fact that I haven't seen it, this is the first time I've heard someone say they hate it haha, I wonder if I'd like it

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

Yeah, I mean, I'll give it another chance maybe but it didn't hook me right off the bat. lol But yeah, too many years of people being shocked I hadn't seen it!

[@arosmytu2157]

Another guy just recently disappeared up there they found his car burned on a trail up there 😓

You should get a covid test. I just found out I have it & had very mild symptoms.

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

eyecandie2004 I’ve been tested twice in the past week and a half; I wrote that in the description of my video :) I would’ve never traveled had I not been tested.

[@eyecandie2004]

Gabriela Francesca oh good sorry. I was just surprised I have it since I didn’t have a cough or no fever just body aches and a headache

[@GabrielaFrancescaCarrillo]

@@eyecandie2004 Yes, I was so terrified I had it when I first was experiencing those symptoms. I hope it continues to be mild for you; I'm so sorry you have it! Rest up and take care of yourself!

but why solo? why not invite family

You are so independent

Hi apple cider vinegar with warm water, and some honey three times a day will help you with your asthma, and throat. Ok. It's guaranteed. 🙏

Turmeric cayenne pepper lemon some cloves, fresh ginger fresh garlic one onion boiled up with water drink with honey

I think you should save your voice a bit and you are throat then wouldn't be hurting as much
