[@sjquigao3900]

All of your travel vids have pushed me to just bite the bullet and booked a one way to my dreamland! Iceland here I come 😍

[@ElenaTaber]

NO WAY!! THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!! YOU GO GIRL

[@alessm2206]

wow that sounds amazing!!

[@dpie4859]

I have travelled all over the world and nothing beats Europe when it comes to beautiful architecture and nature, history, different cultures, great infrastructure and hotels, BEST food! Love it.

[@andreailene8007]

I would love to see what all you packed in that small bag for a trip of this length and location! I’m terrible at packing and could use some advice ❤️

[@meaghankehoe3233]

2:06 fun fact! My family owns the hotel flying the high Swiss flag!!!

[@dulce7267]

Meaghan Kehoe I thought that my family owned it...

[@dulce7267]

[@sandhyachristine7173]

O wow it beautiful

[@claudiafernandez2735]

Solo traveling is something that I've never really considered doing myself, and even if I did I saw it as too scary. But seeing you on this trip has made me think I can, and actually consider going solo traveling in the future. So thank you for showing that things don't always have to be scary and you can enjoy them even so!

[@Aisha-ix6qz]

I literally live for your aesthetic 😍

[@dawnforlife]

[@AynBernos]

I'M ON TIME!!!!! Your Europe videos are making me excited for my own trip!!

[@jonellman3388]

I am currently in Lugano and I'm completely in love. I'm a New Yorker who also spent his childhood in Geneva Switzerland, I thought I knew this country but Ticino generally is INCREDIBLE. I feel like your stay was too short because there's A LOT to do. There's SO MUCH HISTORY, amazing food, incredible mountains and valleys, and so many activities like Canyoning, biking through the surrounding municipalities like Bellinzona, para gliding, bungee jumping...They have a bunch of festivals and other cultural activities. Just the architecture is fascinating. Give it another try!

[@anikahaile]

I love how you are just on your own and enjoying your time, I look up to that so much !!

[@annebarboza]

your life is such a dream, stay humble and grateful you're very inspiring, love from the Philippines

[@erinsvlogs2917]

I’ve just recently started watching your videos and I have to say that the quality and editing is some of the best that I’ve come across on KZbin! I really enjoy watching your travel vlogs especially! Keep it up Elena!

[@ElenaTaber]

Thank you so so much!

[@alyssalewis4376]

this is MY DREAM! I seriously admire you so much for doing this. questions: 1. how much would your suggest saving before going? 2. what shoes did you bring? 3. how much clothing did you bring?

[@oliviaanastasiaxoo]

I just wanted to say that I traveled everywhere during the summer w nike Air Force 1s bc they basically can be styled with anything, even to be worn when clubbing.

[@khalidalali186]

Did the same thing with my Air Force 1. Wore them for cycling, trekking, hiking, running, and everyday walking in Italy, The Netherlands, Switzerland, France, and Germany.

[@cazzyb]

quick reminder to never give up on your dreams (if this still is a dream!) wishing you a happy day :)

[@Brooklyngilberto]

I find it so cool about how much you know about the history, no alot of people care about those details but i think its so cool!

[@emma_pearl]

I’m a big fan Elena and I keep rewatching these videos of yours to prepare myself to travel solo!! Totally don’t know what I’m doing or how to get around but thanks for being an amazing inspiration 🤍

[@elainekim2704]

I really enjoy your Vlog especially your travel blogs because it’s so amazing to see all the sites and it’s really nice to see someone who actually gives good and reliable tips for people who want to travel some day

[@jo_jo_lene]

Elena! I find your content so refreshing. I love the fact that you are a major history nerd! I'm doing a solo trip to Spain in a couple days and you've inspired me to learn more about the history of Barcelona and it's statues/monuments. I'm so excited!

[@gracedec3419]

This kinda ~series~ has so fuelled my wanderlust!

[@AudomideA]

I wake up watching your video early. I like this

[@faqirm6317]

Enjoyed your videos of Lucerne, Lugano and Milan. They are all stunning locations. Carry on travel beautiful young lady.

[@DredWarryr]

I really would love to see more videos of you geeking out on history, hopefully others do too. Fantastic video as always.

[@siaragrace1576]

I have never got to travel anywhere but you inspire me to go travel everywhere. thx girl lov u ✨💕

[@cfield1468]

Thank you for sharing Switzerland. It has been on my bucket list for 10 yrs. unfortunately I am very ill and will not be able to ever experience it. Your trip made me feel like I was traveling along side of you. So grateful for the experience Bless you in your travels. Keep on doing you 👍❤️🇺🇸

[@sandhyachristine7173]

Omg. I love to travel and I rlly want to travel a lot when I'm older. I used to be terrified of the idea of backpacking alone but this video makes me so excited for the idea of just being on ur own schedule and being kind of "self centered". ❤️❤️

[@kenziegarza4508]

I would love to see a video about what you pack in your backpack for a solo trip!

[@nickname8539]

5:28 this is the station where i get the train almost every day to go to uni!! It's soooo weird seeing you there, I wish I could have met you ahah

[@documentprogress]

Dude! I learned something new. I've lived in Italy for 4 years and never knew about the storage lockers at the train stations.

[@ansuanil2709]

Hey Elena! Love your videos!! I would love to hear about your overall experiences, but also like how you saved up for it/were able to do it on a budget/tips and tricks, as wells as the upsides and downsides of the places you stayed at as well as hostels and such.

[@neleria1180]

Elena, the vibes of your videos just make me appreciate life so much more, thanks for that

[@raghad4476]

I LOVE YOUR VIBE

[@stkyriakoulisdr]

I actually spent a few good months in 2016 being an Erasmus student in Lugano and I went solo backpacking in Luzern as well as Milano. This video made me jump around like a dog while giving me tears. Too bad you weren't able to make a small detour to Locarno on your way from Luzern. There is an island in the lake there and an abbey on the top of the hill that are really worth anyone's time.

[@kaitlynnightingale]

Please do a video solely dedicated to how to travel on your own! I love your channel, this is for sure something that I want to do one day!

[@lindsaylawrence2175]

i’m so glad i found ur channel it’s literally everything and so aesthetically pleasing

[@jocelynf139]

Chronicle of a Death Foretold is sooo good!!

[@michaelakavalsky691]

please do a video on your outfits and hair!! literally loved every outfit you wore xxx

[@ariane1263]

You‘re so lucky you got to do this before lockdown 🥰

[@jabarooisboring]

i'd love to see more info/a separate video of what you packed for a solo backpacking trip like this- what toiletries and how much clothing for how long you were exploring!! i'm very curious abt the logistics of traveling alone, also did you stay in air bnb, hotels, hostels, or a mix?

[@herbertfitzgerald7173]

Literally every spot she went to in Lucerne is where I went when I was there and wow I miss Europe

[@lyric.jackson]

Hi Elena! I do have a few questions: 1: How and where do you exchange money for each country? 2: Where do you stay? 3: Tips on language language barriers 4: What do you eat? Or what cheap options are there? 5: What's in your backpack? 6: How do you know where to go and how to get there when exploring? Lot's of love!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MelDiyx]

im in love w the aesthetic of this vlog

[@smallworld6398]

Nice! Guys there's another bridge very near to the Chapel bridge in Lucerne the Spreuerbrücke , in many ways more interesting than the Chapel bridge and the Bourbaki panorama is also wonderful!

[@rosellepeck146]

So amazing how you planned your solo backpacking trip! Would be interesting to see a video showing how you planned it all or any tips or ticks for backpackers X

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Okay, seeing that little turtle made my day. I LOVE TURTLES SO MUCH! Amazing vlog as usual!

[@boochefisher]

You should show a backpacking video about what you packed/how?!! How did you coordinate so many great outfits out of a tiny bag???

[@horseshowgrl1]

Pretty sure I saw somewhere that you’re filming a what I packed for backpacking Europe and I’m so pumped for it. We need to know how you fit it all in your Osprey and all the deets of where things are from cause girl your travel style is killing it!!!!❤️

[@shaanali6965]

[@sarahanna2410]

[@moneeralalawi2387]

Thanks for sharing this now on I have a clue when I go to Italy , one of my favorite blogs to watch and Iam inspired for everything you do ,

[@isabellekeenum5069]

omg lucerne was my favorite place when i travelled to switzerland. this made me miss it so much

[@NatJediMASTER]

I so wish I could travel like this. I have a chronic illness that can make traveling an absolute nightmare so even if I do get the money to do it, I don’t think it would be worth it for me to even go. I love watching your videos though even though they make me a little sad knowing that I probably won’t ever get to experience these things myself. Videos like this give me just a little taste ❤️

[@carissawyh]

Girl, you're living the solo travelling teen life. So exciting and inspiring! Planning my trip next year.. Really looking forward to it. Italy will have to be left for another time though.

[@nouraalderaibi3805]

omg lugano is literally my home i go there every summer i hope you enjoyed you're stay

[@faby507]

thank you very much for the interest in our history❤️ lots of people just because we didn’t had “big wars” don’t consider Switzerland as a country with interesting stories to tell... Kisses from the italian part of Switzerland ☺️

[@KhaJani16]

For the Tipps-Video: How much Money so you spend/need for everything? How and when you Organize where you sleep and eat and what you want to see? Where do you have your belongings, Like Money, Passport,...? 😊

[@21guitarworld]

So gorgeous. And the cities too

[@alexandraclen8353]

I absolutely love your style!! Can you please do a travel lookbook or essentials?

[@jarak7354]

I love how she made some research to the places and actually tries to explore the culture and stuff.

[@vinayakkalra2026]

I love watching your videos sooooo much! You have such a positive and happy vibe :)

[@jokosupriyanto9991]

Hi ..solo travell is awesome...we can go anywhere as we want. Switzerland has a lot of coolest places to visit... They re such as lauterbraunen.. grindelwald..etc..

[@bryangianinazzi]

So happy that you enjoyed your time in Switzerland and especially in my City! LUGANO! Great great channel by the way!😊

[@stellaleonie]

I'm from southern germany and been to switzerland and italy A LOT due to that. But still it all seems so beautiful to me! Go visit the Lake of Constance Elena! The northern/german shore is really worth a visit! xo

[@aiveganramen]

Yay!! Another Elena video ☺️ these make my day!!! They make me want to get out of San Diego

[@rachellecabading3706]

I love History as well! I don’t think any of my friends love history, but I don’t really care. There are times when I feel like I’m the grandma of the group, but there’s just something about History that makes me feel very interested in it

[@erinmerenich1254]

Living for these vlogs!!!
