[@hannahdigitals]

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!

[@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

[@SK-tp4kg]

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

[@louisahaake]

This came at such a perfect time you have no idea

[@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.

[@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

[@chattienattie98]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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)

[@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!!

[@Janaa27]

[@hpstudio1388]

[@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.

[@pallabi.5]

This video is edited so smoothly😍💚

[@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. ♡

[@corinnewoszczyna6864]

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

[@abigailelenas]

the editing on this video is INSANE!! love love loved it

[@safija8370]

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 🥰🥰🥰

[@caitlinbrown7597]

[@GELzenDragon]

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

[@spiltstudios]

Your videos are a hug for the soul ❤

[@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. 💛

[@sophiedube413]

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

[@anyaecole]

this video and adventure is a masterpiece

[@Ankesadventures]

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

[@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.

[@clairedonnelly9803]

I really enjoyed this thank youuuuu ❤❤

[@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.

[@lolamesser2463]

Really respect your authenticity and honesty!! Thanks for that content!!

[@wherestheparty_]

[@barbaralosch3226]

Thank you for putting so much effort in this Video ❤️

[@alesandracaroline]

Made it to the end! Love the editing and storytelling. Thanks for taking us on an adventure.

[@sofia.eagles5678]

this is literally the most beautiful video 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?
