[@KyurinDiary]

OH HOW GRATEFUL I AM 💚 BLESSED TO HAVE MET U IN THIS LIFE!! I had the best time ever (our talks??? the food??? taking all the cute picsss?? cant ask for more!!!)🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ I cant wait for us to reunite very soon again 🫶🏼

[@via.ilyouu]

GIRL I MISS YOU SO MUCH ALREADY😭 such a blessing to have met you 😭😭🩷😮‍💨🤍😵‍💫🩷

[@Nia_109]

Hyyy!! That's kyurin diary ...woow you guys are friends 🧡 ❤

[@Leedo_hee]

you look so beautiful

[@JaynabBinteiqbal]

i was so shocked when u talked about palestine. you are a real queen for doing this. just know ur one action can help a lot of ppl in gaza. thank u for speakinh up about it gurl. also youre so beautiful omg, you make me all happy and smiley 😍❤

[@Choxia]

She’s amazing I fell more in love her for standing on the right side of history, just being human and talking about how unbelievable monstrous what’s happening to babies and children and women. Ugh I’ll shut up now but ily Via ❤

[@filmedbytahsin]

it’s a basic human thing to do

[@Choxia]

@HelloKitty-hl6ic she’s honestly so cute and genuine ugh 🤍

[@Choxia]

@HelloKitty-hl6ic I know it’s a basic thing but did you see other creators literally not even mentioning the issue? Via is a boss for speaking out early on I swear

[@hxmdnv]

She’s been speaking out abt it for a bit now ever since Oct 7th like TikTok’s and insta stories. We need more of this and address the issues reminding that Oct 7th wasn’t an attack that happened in a vacuum and the collective punishment enforced by the Zionist entity to everyone regardless if they are from an armed group

[@loveyoucutiee]

Just what I needed for a study break, I love these vlogs the vibs, the aesthethic, energy and the way you uphold yourself! Thank you so much for making these vlogs

[@via.ilyouu]

ahh so hardworking girl 😮‍💨🩷🤍

[@akuu1892]

Literally same I love via so much she's genuinely a comfort ytber♡

[@markusstudeli2997]

Taking your first time easy, meeting up with a friend as a guide and not overloading your program seems a good idea. You've explored the easy accessible cities Zürich, Bern, Luzern and St.Gallen. Since you seem to appreciate nature so much, I suggest next time you take it a step further and visit smaller places tucked into mountain valleys like Gruyère, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, Kandersteg, Engelberg, Chur, Zermatt, Grimentz... There's so much more to discover in Switzerland.

[@Seungberryyy-oo5yx]

Truee

[@kali_kali_kali_]

Gruyère and Grimentz are absolutely beautiful :D

[@cosmi.]

I literally feel peace watching your vlogs

[@John_Krone]

I was a month in Switzerland and loved every second of it. Glad you enjoyed

[@evessdiary]

thankyou for the palestine link! it seems most people ignore this war is happening on social media so this means alot , thankyou!

[@zahrazfA]

One thing that I love about Lia is that she never stopped talking about Palestine 🍉 from the begging, the truth is obvious and talking about 🍉 shouldn't be a big deal but since we saw the majority of "celebrities" and "influencers" living their lifes and say nothing like it's not a whole genocide , makes us so grateful for the real influencers who use their fame to show the truth.

[@abalamdepaimon6891]

Exactly ! Palestine needs to stop supporting terrorist hamas building their military operations under schools and hospitals and civilian housings ! If Palestine didn't help TERRORISTS that constantly attack Israel, they could live in peace. So ask yourself, who is to blame ! Hamas openly calls for genocide of Israel, not the other way around. Get your facts straight ZAHRAZFA

[@ashleygonzalez2710]

I finished my final exams and can now enjoy all the videos I've missed. All the homework, the classes, and the work kept me busy and I couldn't watch the videos. NOW I can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner while watching the videos of Via

[@anais9263]

Good job on working hard!

[@Bamaassota]

Me too girllll 🎉❤

[@taehyunslashes]

The country that won Eurovision 😻

[@selmario]

I was literally so happy when they won

[@xristina25]

Nemo top!!!!!( also Greece!🇬🇷)

[@calistafalcontail]

@@selmario That was the biggest freak show ever and this dude in a skirt is nothing but a woketard pick. Eurovision is hated by Europe for a reason.

[@xttvis]

Right??? Nemo was so good! Just wish joost got to win third place atleast😭🙏

[@diiadidii]

Been to Switzerland twice and hoping to be able to go next year too. People and nature around is amazing, it's like all the problems are gone there. Loving the mountains and listening to cows ringing everywhere with the quietness and beautiful surroundings is so peaceful ❤Happy you enjoyed it there so much!!

[@mae-wn9ht]

also i really love the respect that you have for people, the way you blur their faces. i think that that is another cool thing about you.

[@c.d.1901]

Anxiety can be such a difficult to manage (because really we just have to learn to live with anxiety) and I love watching your videos seeing how you have learnt to truly LIVE life despite still having anxiety!! We have good days and we have bad days and I see from you that I can't let bad days stop me from trying to get more good days!!! Thank you so much!!!!💝

[@priskagrunwald8858]

Glad you loved our country. I hope you inspired more people to visit this beautiful place. Enjoy nature, city adventure, shopping and good food. It’s safe and easy to get around with public transfer. Yes might not be the cheapest place however you can find good deals too. We might across a bit introvert but we‘re not. Come and visit us🤗

[@x_mys]

idk why but when I see you smiling I just become happy😊💓💓 thank you so much for making me happy with your videos💗😊

[@snehadahiya-wm3wt]

Yay!! Our girl posted🎀

[@Nebuhalanezar]

Thanks for visiting our beautiful country. I hope you‘ll be back sometime! There’s a lot more to see here!

[@davidbalmer473]

Via, I just came across this video of yours by chance. I have been here for 35 years now, and because of my cool childhood, being born in New Jersey and then living in Idaho, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maine, Colorado, Oregon, Colorado again, Washington, and finally California, I really appreciate this little place with 4 official language regions. I know all 26 cantons, the closeness of it all and my nonstop discoveries of cute little places. Yes, I know Germany, France, Austria, Italy, and Liechtenstein too, because they are all so close. Happy that you also see what EYE see.

[@nandiko123]

I'm having a really bad mental health week, but watching Via have such a soulful, calm and wonderful time made me feel better. I think I need to book a holiday to Switzerland 😂❤

[@saltedcaramelz]

And the little things, you feel like a kindrer soul with the way you get excited or how nature calms you down and THE WATER. I love the sound of water and water in itself too! And speaking for palestine, making me proud to be your fan! And just your vibe, the way you talk, your passion, you’re so full of life, it makes me happy. From a fellow girlie trying to enjoy life again, thank you for your comforting adorable videos 🥰🌸

Please never stop smiling wherever you go and whatever you are doing, Via. I know it is hard sometimes, but your smile is gold.

As a Swiss I can tell you the two things I miss most when going to the States is good coffee and good bread! Plus fresh vegetables and fruits you can find here in every store not just certain stores like wholefoods in the US. Thank you for making this wonderful video ❤

[@P4nem___Et___C1rcenses]

Huhu! Glad you enjoyed your stay here :-) greetings from a Swiss

[@snehaTewari-k4w]

Via I love your outfits, it like the perfect balance of elegance and edgyness street style. It is always just perfect🤌

[@rhaihzel]

As a Swiss person I am so glad you enjoyed your time here! ❤ If you come again, you NEED to go to the mountains, they are breath-taking. Also I recommend eating french fries in the mountains, they just hit different there ya know? During the summer months you can also go on something called an alpine coaster, it's really fun. I highly recommend trying it if you get the chance. Thank you for making this video, because I am actually someone who's afraid of travelling but you motivate me to go out there and try new things. ❤

[@javeenzala5419]

TYSM for visiting my beautiful Country 🫶💕

[@Gugu-ff8kc]

I got so happy when went to Bern😄i lived here my whole life, theres more things that you couldve seen but im glad u enjoyed it😊

[@ZeWekThor]

Funny thing. The train you mentiond that glides like a snake is actually called the Cobra Tram (those are the newer ones which are close to the ground and thus accessible for wheelchairs unlike the old ones which have stairs).

[@y0.sh0]

I always get so amazed everytime creators I watch travel to Switzerland since this country surely is known, but still not thaaaaat many people talk about it or travel here (i can understand since it is expensive) soo i am even happier watching this vlog now ^^ thank you for coming and hoping you'll visit us here again soon!

[@netunismo]

via, please make a tutorial on how you edit your videos 💔 all the editing is so well done and cute that it genuinely always makes me want to watch until the end

[@lillalimon189]

Your travel diaries are always so calming, love them 🤍 Also, you should travel to hannover in germany some day! It's the city with the most greenery in the whole country. As a local I can really recommend the parks and lakes!

[@rainbowstar589]

Tysm for supporting Palestine ❤

[@faulle8083]

i love switzerland. im usually in towns in the alps so its cool to see the city aspect!
