Italy🌿 what I *actually* eat in a week! ( food freedom ) 🌷ep.012

[@woolfairy1]

No judgement at all! Integrity is what’s important, not perfection. Being authentic is the path to self acceptance. You’re doing awesome. Have a wonderful time in Europe!

[@juliaayers111]

Thank you for your beautiful words💛

[@mmschwartz84]

Thank you for admitting to eating cheese, as I often struggle when I am traveling/eating out. Mistakes go with the territory, but I think it is so awesome for you to just roll with it and not starve or make a huge deal when things aren't just as you might have wanted. Italy is beautiful and I can't wait to go back someday soon. Ciao!❤

[@kecrn4132]

I would not call eating cheese a mistake….

[@numivis7807]

[@GlitterySawa]

Definitely No Judgement! I'm traveling to India for Work 75 % of their population is Vegetarian, and trying to find Dairy Free is DIFFICULT. It's extremely difficult when you have a language barrier, They understand no milk but then forget that butter/ghee has dairy. So trying your best when traveling, is all you can do, and sometimes you have to accept that you need to be authentic and do what you need and accept that sometimes mistakes happen either by your hand or due to things out of your control. Just keep thriving and doing your best, and your community is here to support you

I'm really glad you enjoyed the little city I grew up in. Trento is a lovely place and it's amazing you chose to visit it. It warmed my heart watching such familiar streets and squares in your video since now I live abroad. Safe travels Julia!

[@elizabethgavrilova8181]

Loved watching your Italy adventures! I went in May and can't wait to go back. Also I love that you give yourself grace , because nobody is perfect, nobody is a robot, we all have feelings, mixed emotions, ups and downs and that's just life. Take it day by day.😊

[@martagarzon6024]

after years of following you i can say it makes me endlessly happy to see you grow this much. You truly are an angel on this earth, and your here to provide inspiration to others, thats for sure. i wish you always find new beautiful things to fight for as time goes by. also glad life is bringing light to you - you deserve it all. Remember: there's no growth without struggle. Love you, Julia. :)

[@kecrn4132]

So beautifully said! And so perfectly true! You are a beautiful person, Julia❤

[@legomars1]

Keep on being real and authentic. It's needed in this KZbin space.

[@benedettacappelletti3997]

as an italian, i’m so happy that you enjoyed Italy❤❤ and for the vegan products in the small cities: is very common italy to find people vegan or vegetarian so we have a lot of products

[@Kawillingham]

You’re such an authentically beautiful human being ❤️❤️❤️❤️ appreciate your honesty so much!

[@tacotacopineapple]

Re: knives while traveling. I take a small whetstone with me while traveling if I don’t have my own knives and I sharpen theirs! Perhaps a bit neurotic but I’d argue it’s more convenient than chopping my finger with a dull knife! And they don’t weigh a lot. I recommend!

[@clairebear1318]

It must be very hard traveling when your a vegan. I am not a vegan but I dont judge your food choices. You are doing the best you can with what you have right now. Dont be hard on yourself, we love you girly!!! :)

[@DarlinMarleneVeVo]

I also had a breakdown this week! it's totally okay to have those days, what's important is to keep going as you said. Thank you for also sharing these moments. Loved this vid

[@mirchen01]

Love that you are so honest and open with us ❤

[@annak1542]

Welcome to Greece! I can tell you're here because of the classic, beautifully deafening tzitzikia (cadidae) song around in the trees! Excited for you to enjoy Greece!

[@mariellaascenzo9773]

I can’t belive you were in Trento!!!! I live very close to the city 😢

[@oliviaefthimiou8856]

Love you Julia, You are amazing in your gorgeous humanness. Thanks for reminding us to love our imperfections, pain and joy all in one xox

[@marta5802]

i love to see you in my country!! kisses from Italy, we love you and I hope that you can enjoy all of this beauty💛☀️

[@justmeemi6350]

Im a vegan too, currently in South Africa and I’ve already eaten dairy twice here without wanting to… It happens, we all try our best - and that is more than enough ❤

[@ThornPrincess8]

Sending so much love, light and happiness to you Julia💛

[@Silversoundscool]

First !!! Love you Julia keep it up, I’ve been watching for adleast 2 years at this point and you are always such a happy woman and it radiates 😁😁😁

[@christinac.2477]

The background noise just reminds me of cicadas here in the south 😆 Enjoyed catching up with you Julia. You're an amazing inspiration 😘

[@ciberblue]

no judgment at all, I loved your journey sm, amazing!!!

[@Kleigh8484]

Yes of course we are here for your food Julia but more importantly, we keep coming back for your beautiful, authentic self... we are in those trials and tribulations with you x

[@FloraRodgersOfficial]

Beautiful video! Bringing tears to my eyes ❤

[@celestecruickshank597]

Your videos are getting better and better and better wow! We’re so proud of you! ❤

[@missmeriama8207]

I really enjoyed watching this video have a great time julia🤍

[@IzzyBittencourt]

I looooove how you admitted to not being sure about what you ate, and that maybe/definitely you ate cheese. I am aways trying to remind myself to not be self conscious about some things because when you eat out you can never be sure! plus wasting food is always....... a waste!

[@juliaayers111]

Here to share the reality and make people feel less self conscious of these things 💛💛💛

[@nimaveze]

you got this julia!

[@victoriacoruja]

ok but how did you find the CUTEST guy in the world? aaaa i'm in love, hope you keep in touch and we can see him around here again 😄

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Julia happy Saturday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@elenaficarra3950]

I love this video!

[@julee.8117]

hehe that sound is not from birds but from Cicadas right? :) They are loud all day long :D in France they started around 9-10am and stopped around sunset. Actually I brought a small sharp knife on the plane (but not in handluggage of corse) a lot of times because I hate these Airbnb/Hostel not sharp knifes as well :D Or bring a knife sharpener :)

[@fiveelo246]

Hi Julia! I came across your channel while searching for vegan content, and I'm absolutely obsessed with your videos! I love your vibe and honesty. English isn't my native language, so I had to watch the video several times to fully understand, but I'm definitely going to keep watching your content! Thank you for sharing your life and positive energy with me. ☺️☺️ Sending love from South Korea. ❤

[@juliaayers111]

Hey love!! Thank you so much for you support, I’m so happy you found me and we can connect through my content! Sending you lots of love 💛✨🥰🌞

[@zazruby9799]

I hope you will feel better soon even it’a totally normal to have these kind of feelings, all the more after a break up 💪🏼😘 I always have the same problem with the knives 😅😆 I think it’s not made for real cookers 😌😂

Ven a Colombia por favor

[@mastandstars]

That white dress is absolutely beautiful! Was the fellow traveler a Canadian?

[@cristinaambu5447]

Hi from Italy, the pesto that you put in the gnocchi isn't vegan😅

[@lvisexx4478]

watching this while i am about to move to milan makes me so exited! Love your videos

[@purseypurslane]

Julia I can't wait until you go back to Canada or places north -- I'm so OVER the summer heat and am ready to be inspired to wear layers and eat hearty food. You are very employable, can work anywhere -- you'd be great in a farmers market or store, or just keep making money here at KZbin! Get out of Europe and come back to the good old North America!

[@Sunny__69]

I still consider myself as a vegan even if i eat back meat and fish Im ill and my body was in pain. A wonderfull person told me that its important to support animals, but staying alive is way more efficient to save the world. So i try to take care of myself Send love to you all ❤

[@lawwIiet]

are you kidding

[@Sunny__69]

@@lawwIiet yes. I'm ill enough to reconsider things. I decided to become a vegan because of eating disorder, and this nearly led me to death twice. At the hospital, they told me that i could stay vegan, i could be vegan later. But priority was to come back to life. 5 years later, its still painful to eat peacefully. I most of the time eat vegan food, but when ED comes back, i just need to eat. Please try not to judge without knowing 😉

[@AthenaRelihan]

I would get a cheap knife sharpener and carry that with you, even an expensive knife is useless if it's blunt, chances are those knives just need sharpening

[@meggosling8451]

All for veganism, but you gotta have a cheeky margarita pizza if you're in Rome!

[@AllBeingsAreLoveAmen]

you are having a better life than 80% plus of people on this effed up world, rejoice!!!!!!!!!!!! pray for GESARA medbeds replicators and spaceships and sanity and love to be revealed:) amen

[@rebeccabutler2476]

From an actual vegan of more than 11 years (before anybody knew what it meant, although now it seems that still nobody knows) - Julia ist not a vegan and never was. I'm sorry but it's really starting to piss me off that you play so loosely with this term. You mentioned multiple times that you occasionally eat honey - that fact alone excludes you from being a vegan. The term veganism was created to show that there is a way of living and eating that excludes animal exploitation in the most way possible. You eat honey. You don't care if you eat animal products eating out. You don't care making your food in the same unwashed pan in which an animal's body part was cooked seconds prior. It is one thing eating something non vegan on complete accident and not realizing it. But you keep eating animal products when you know for a fact, that they are animal products. Not wasting food isn't vegan. Actually not eating the non vegan food is what vegan ist. What you are doing is not wasting food - which is good - but it has absolutely nothing to do with veganism. So please stop calling yourself a vegan and stop including the word in your titles. It's misleading. There is a great word you can accurately use and it's called plantbased.

Julia, We could have gotten rid of the bugs in the back of your voiceover. Need a sound engineer?
