I love how much effort you put into storytelling through editing

[@ANJAexists]

thank youuu!! it takes forever but gives the video that extra spark :)

[@safe-keeper1042]

Agreed

[@babyrae5355]

These videos are truly BEAUTIFUL. I'm always so excited when you post. Thanks for everything

[@ANJAexists]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@Not_tessa]

This is my new all time favorite video. The story telling, the cinematography, the message, the humor, just everything about it is addicting to watch and immerse myself in. It’s relatable and beautiful and I’m such a fan. It’s a dream of mine to solo travel in this way and to conquer my social fears of traveling solo. I don’t usually comment but I just so moved by this video that I felt the need to say something. Great job! I’ve been watching you for years now and every video you put out is incredible! Thank you for bringing light to my life with your work! ❤️

[@lilyjows]

Such a well edited and thoughtful video. Made me feel at peace 🫶

[@xhesilaxhafa8639]

I cannot believe you decided to visit Albania. I vaguely remember recommending it to a story in your IG. It is always impressive to see how a foreigner sees your country and I love how you have visualized it in such a raw way. Glad you felt the warmth of the people and the crystal blue waters of Himara. Much love!

[@SK-tp4kg]

made me really emotional, especially the grandma part. So many things i wont ever get to experience :')

[@anitaamartinez9991]

seeing your grandma it's a bittersweet moment for me, you saying goodbye was like a wake up call to me. my grandma is 75 years old and she is not half as happy and seemingly healthy as your grandma is in this clips. she is going to be gone soon because of a sickness and seeing yours made me realize what it could have been if my grandmother took more care of herself when she could. i hope you had a great time with her and on this trip!! love u

[@ebbajuvel7528]

All these small clips from all the different places are pure magic. I love how you capture everything so beautifully.

[@katrinavangrouw8843]

There’s something so raw and authentic about this video. I admire your confidence and comfort with yourself.

[@aliceorlik7737]

This was so beautiful. I desperately want to solo travel but I have so much happening here in England that I feel like I can't just run away from. Ugh PLEASE travelling is just so emotional and raw and beautiful. It's life at its finest. You are just being.

[@chattienattie98]

Another compelling video from Anja convincing me to keep fighting through anxiety so I can live the life I desire. Thank you!!! 🙂

[@louisahaake]

This came at such a perfect time you have no idea

[@livelaughlove038]

Why did this not come up on my feed for a whole month 🤦🏼‍♀️ I love Anja’s vids

[@simbapfe]

Hallo Anja, hier ist Nuria :) ich find es so super stark das du deine Angst überwunden hast von 2021 und durch die ganze Weltgeschichte gereist bist. Hat mir super gut getan dich in voller Blüte zu sehen und mal wieder the rawness of your soul zu erleben. Ich find dich und deine Kunst toll. Ich selbst steh grad noch davor wieder allein zu reisen. Habs vor der Pandemie angefangen und jetzt 3 Jahre später mit einiges am Erlebten muss ich für mich schauen ob es dieses Jahr endlich wieder soweit ist. Lots of love. Peace from an also furry sister aus Berlin (loved the scene btw)

[@tabuuu]

This is such an amazing video. I feel so grateful to be taken along with you on your journeys because I'd love to travel myself but simply can't right now and your story telling vibe feels so cozy. Thank you!

[@charlyrivers4497]

exactly what i was feeling

[@mampfuart]

going thru a tough time right now and this video made me so happy and made my day 1000% better. the editing style + the storytelling through it is just so beautiful. great video :)

[@marimencarini]

The end is such a teaching for all editors and vloggers out here hahahaa love u anja

[@Janaa27]

You are so incredibly inspiring. Gonna try to leave my comfort zone more

[@childofgaiia]

Wow, I've been in the exact same hostel in Himara in Albania, when the kittens were only few days old. And I could recognize so many places! So beautiful and emotional This Video is so human and so full of life. Thank you for this

[@jasbrina]

this is maybe my favourite video on youtube, it really makes me feel like ive gone on the adventure with you. what you said about how you've progressed so much in a year in terms of going out and talking to people really comforted me, i'm basically where you were a year ago and it gave me so much hope :) love you and your channel

[@adenordis]

I'm literally in love with the photgraphy, the story-telling and the sound of this video, you've done quite a "chef-d'oeuvre", congrats!

[@Anna-vq1tq]

Anja, your video touched me to the core,it made me realize how much I want to travel so freely, without a plan and to random countries. Your videos are so special and unique, I love your style. But especially this video struck me and gave so much positivity and inspiration, it’s beyond words,thank you!! You, just the way you are, amazing and pure person, there’s so much love and light in you. I’m so glad you exist and wish you all the best. Thank you!!

[@pollydia1900]

This was to be honest one of the most beautiful vlogs i‘ve ever seen, and i mean it. It just expresses such joy, ease and independence. I watched it till the end and im really proud of you for going on such trips!!❤

[@bellaleilani5628]

This video was an absolute piece of art. I haven't met you, but I hope one day to. I can't wait to start traveling to other countries soon.🧚‍♀️ Thank you for all the love you pour into you art!

[@lottevree]

You can just see all the little decisions you made in the editing process 🥰. And it turned out so well and lovely. It was cute, raw, funny and aesthetic all at the same time. Well done Anja 💕

[@saiyawilliams4962]

this video is beautiful. traveling is such a gift, your honesty throughout the process of it all is touching.

[@Anekablooms]

[@nrozenbrand]

So cinematic, I love it. Especially the part with your grandmother ♥️ felt like I was watching the start of a movie

[@bridgetf88]

[@briannaleigh1317]

[@rebeccaleighi.]

I'm a South African! I hope you enjoyed your stay! This video was amazing and it was so comforting❤ Your ouma seems so sweet ❤

[@CelineBelia]

i cried like a baby watching this

[@Uhliviuh9815]

This is seriously my comfort video - I keep coming back to it. It inspires me to travel so much :)

[@stargirl11zz]

this video actually feel like a warm hug, AND THOSE KITTYS OMGGG

[@frankab.3579]

i feel so inspired by your videos, this is really just therapy for my soul, it takes the stress out of me

[@anjaa7532]

I live in serbia and the fact that you visited croatia and Montenegro, just melts my heart cuz it is so close to me

[@elizabethdewetter7251]

You are such a beautiful soul! I’m so inspired by you

[@dokilkamja4183]

This is so comforting and showing life in a real way without filter - just beautiful

[@bgeorgiam]

anja you are truly one of my comfort creators, you put so much love into what you do and i receive so much joy out of it. thank you.

[@rebeccasrandomness3045]

This one of the best travel vlogs I've ever watched no lie, from start to finish it captured every little moment so well and your story telling and little diary entries really added to it and made it all deeply relatable and lovely!!

[@phoebe3515]

I spent 3 months travelling the balkens in 2019. Albania was my favourite country, so glad you visited! You stayed in the same hostels i did. So cool to watch someone experience the same places

[@coradollenberg2001]

this video is healing my soul. thank you!

[@aspiringcrone]

A friend and I are planning a trip to Turkey and Greece this summer and I really want to extend it to a few more countries, but I'm scared to do it alone. This is so inspiring!

[@mymelody03]

im crying and i have no idea why. Your videos are so beautiful, Anja!

[@sonjatampe391]

I don't know why but your editing made me tear up several times. I just turned 27 two months ago and I feel like you're doing what I wished I would be doing with 18+ . Wasted 4 years in university and decided it wasn't what i wanted. now i'm doing vocational training and i'm in year 2 of 3. I have my dog and my boyfriend of 9 years at home and I wished I had more time and resources to travel.

[@safija8370]

Omg I'm so glad you got to see the Balkans and enjoy our hot summers, I loved the vlog it makes me miss summer so much!

[@sunflowervibes7230]

can’t imagine how much work this video must’ve been! but it was worth it!! soo beautiful and powerful :))

[@sososoboringv5718]

i've been watching you for a long time now and u cant stop amazing me, i wish to meet you some day! Anja you are so brave, i'm stuck in the chapter of my life where i'm even scared to go by myself for a nature walk and there you are, traveling alone without a phone... U are inspiring. Kisses from Spaiinn

[@bellagarcia7156]

i love these longer style videos, you put so much effort & passion. i love it 🫶🏼

[@TaeNi95]

Yoooo that has to be the most wholesome and honest and even most healing video of 2023. I wish I could travel again (I did a roadtrip in june 2022 as well, in italy). This video is a masterpiece, weiter so 🥰🥰🥰

[@florinaschade2479]

I love this so so much!! Its so pretty, how you put the old videos of you after the same spots!! Its so lovely

[@kelseytilleydesigns]

Just when you think Anja’s vlogs can’t get any better. She goes and makes it better ❤

[@tabbieharris9849]

Thank you for this from one solo traveller to another - making me fall in love with my travels all over again :)

[@roxyroxy2310]

You‘re a beautiful soul Anja 🫶🏻

[@schelbyrenea]

I'm so happy and so proud of you! You're living the dream.

[@ahhhhh8047]

One of the most amazing videos I’ve ever watched!

[@kiera1882]

Im revisiting this video and several others of yours, i love them and you so much and they comfort me in ways i cant explain. Youre so pure and sweet seeming and i enjoy watching you grow and discover things about yourself. Im striving to be able to travel and see the world, and its comforting to see people around my age like you and leah be able to do it and not spend a fortune (the cost is always something that intimidates me) Speaking of, would you ever do a video in regards to travel tips and how to travel cheaply?

[@autumn_nights392]

Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos Anja. They are my favourite thing here on the world wide webss🥰💛

[@Ankesadventures]

Loved those journal entries (but had to pause the video always to be able to read them)

[@kim.possible.]

This is making me miss my ouma 🥺 I’m currently living in Thailand and I’m also afraid when I said goodbye it was the last time I saw my ouma who is also 93❤

[@SonnyXXInvisible]

your videos make me feel so happy and cozy and reflective about my life. thank you!

[@sarahcrowley3861]

This was genuinely so good. I want to travel so bad after college, and this video has inspired me so much. I’ve always been scared of the idea of traveling alone and getting lost/not knowing what to do… but this is the life I want to experience and you did sooo good in showing it. 💛

[@Hillary429]

I loved your little journal entries/poems, very beautiful little thoughts that helped us understand how you were feeling, wonderful addition to the vlog

[@gabbyblack9973]

thank you so much for documenting all of this and creating a beautiful video. I've been going through a really rough period of life and am doing something similar this summer and have been nothing but anxious about all of the things that could go wrong while travelling, but seeing how at peace you seem gives me hope that it will be okay.

[@anyaecole]

this video and adventure is a masterpiece

[@GELzenDragon]

From start to finish, just so much awesome artistic authentic Anja!!

[@ellstration]

ANJA, I'm in the very same situation like you are/were. I felt alone home, wished for more creative free spirited peeps in my life, most of my friendships felt one sided. Then I started traveling and I'm starting to actually meet these souls I was craving for. Like you mentioned, sometimes it's just for this trip but dang are those moments beautiful and transformative. Also, you've the face of your oma. ♡

[@hpstudio1388]

when anja posts it makes my day so much better her videos feel so real i really appreciate that💜

[@livstantonn]

This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I'm going to the Balkans soon and haven't seen much of Montenegro on KZbin (at least in this real style), so this was perfect!!

[@sophiedube413]

this was a 100/10 video, i watched it entranced and full of dreams

[@120Franzi]

I have been traveling for almost 5 months now and I can so deeply relate to especially the written words at the beginning of the video. Traveling can be so beautiful and amazing and also so romanticized. You get sick and lonely and still I would do it over again. And while I am watching your video I a getting more excited again to travel on. Thank you.

[@corinnewoszczyna6864]

This was so beautiful; thank you for uploading this. I feel so inspired and happy

[@jas-min.]

I always feel like I can experience all these beautiful things because of you

[@wiesblaauw]

I love this. I've been wanting to travel on my own for a while now, but have been really struggling with the idea that i have only myself. Thank you for giving me the confidence that i can pull this off.

[@lmvdam]

things i love about this: the creativity and cinematogrophy, the vulnerability and honesty, the inspiration to backpack solo too !

[@sofia.eagles5678]

this is literally the most beautiful video i’ve ever watched

[@laura7688]

anja you are such a special human, thank you for sharing your journey ❤

[@abigailelenas]

[@AnaBeatriz-wu9ll]

Loved this, felt like a movie and I loved how you recreated the videos in your grandma's house

[@erikauka_]

seeing that you visited my country makes me so happy! hi from croatia!!

[@isobel3306]

This is such a gorgeous video as always but I died laughing when you were talking about the older guy hitting on you and holding onto your hand 🥲😂

[@Kathi_irie]

Hallo Anja ❤️ Ich liebe deine Videos und genieße deine Reiseberichte und deinen Abenteuersinn ☺️ Du hast uns jetzt Rückblicke von deinem Sommer gezeigt. Bist du jetzt auch noch auf Reise? Wenn ja, in welchem Land bist du momentan? Lots of love from Germany, I admire your openess and braveness to live your life and go solo travel and meet new friends all over the world :) Can't wait for your next video!
