RAYYYY GANGGGGG!! long time, no talk (sorry lmao) - I love y'all and hope you enjoy this Solo Euro Summer content! I put my heart and soul into it, so please leave a like and comment if you enjoy! 💞

[@LolNotDarian]

As a fellow Houston girl (who had never been out the country), I just got back from my first solo trip where I went to Japan and seeing your reaction to being in Italy made me light up because I had the SAME feeling lol. It's so surreal and invigorating. Currently watching your video to give me the motivation I need to dive into planning my solo Italy trip. Congrats on such a huge accomplishment!

[@liastorm795]

It’s soooo refreshing watching my fellow black women live their best lives traveling, living in luxury, doing things they enjoy, etc!❤❤❤

Your work is not in vain and May God continue to bless you with many more blessings and opportunities to come. Love you ❤

I’m absolutely loving this content! I went to Italy a few years ago. I didn’t go to Milan though. I went to Florence, Venice, and Rome 🥰. Thanks for showing me what I missed so I know where to go when I go back.

[@TheDessyRayWay]

Ahhh so Great to hear! 🥰🥰 I visited Florence and Rome as well. Loved it!!

[@Princess8595]

Wwoowww! I love this for you. You’re so inspiring. I started solo traveling because of you and it’s very empowering to venture out on your own. I can’t even image how it felt for you to do that in Europe. Thank you taking us with you 😩🫶🏾 we got a little piece of Europe through the camera lol Can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures 💛💛

Love this travel vlog and the luxury shopping. The leather Longchamp was a good choice, the size is perfect, quality and price not unreasonable.

[@UpAndAtEmAddie]

Yes to the luxury purchase! I love making luxury purchases internationally, it’s a great way to commemorate your trip. Also, the level of service exceeds that of the US and the items also cost less (VAT or not).

[@TheDessyRayWay]

Yes yes yes!! You get me

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@JustAGrl007]

Love it! Love it! Love seeing black girls in luxury! (Shout out to @aalona 😊). Yes please go over your experience with VAT tax. I went to Europe last year from my birthday and wanted to buy a Louis Vuitton bag in Paris, but did not get a chance to navigating around the city. I went to Paris and London and that was my first time going to multiple cities outside of America and I was solo. I cannot wait to get back over the pond again.

[@eprohoda]

Good morning! Thank you~excellent recording-so long. 😌

[@TheDessyRayWay]

Hey! Thanks for watching :)

[@UpAndAtEmAddie]

I agree, the pickpockets in Europe are insane. In France, more particularly Paris and Montmartre, they are relentless. You have to have situational awareness and be vigilant otherwise you will “get got”.

[@TheDessyRayWay]

Yes!!

[@FMRite]

I just got back from Milan and didn’t know that was there!!!

[@TheDessyRayWay]

Ahhh next time!!

[@UpAndAtEmAddie]

You packed really well for this trip. Packing light for Europe is hard, but definitely needed because the cobble stone roads, pathways, and stairs are nothing to play with.

[@TheDessyRayWay]

!!!! Say it twice. I had to pat myself on the back lol

[@modune1]

I love your content

Longchamp totes are good for travel. It’s a great carryon bag.

Yes! It fits so much things in

Can you explain more the VAT refund? I'm going to Europe for NYE and I plan on shopping there too

The rain room at the spa reminds me of Lapis Spa at the Fontainebleau in Miami.

Ooooh wow I’m gonna have to check that one out too 👀

In Venice I’m assuming? I’ve been once about 10 years ago as well :)

You definitely disappear for summer in YT, and I love that for you… Did I miss the context behind the solo trip, it don’t matter YOLO BABY😊

[@TheDessyRayWay]

Unfortunately and fortunately right?😭🤣🤣 thanks so much for watching regardless! And no context, just wanted to treat myself for my 30th!

Travel And Enjoy Life. I Lived In Europe For Two Years. I Loved It. I Served In The Military. I Am A Army Veteran. I Was Stationed in Ansbach, Germany. I Traveled All Over Germany.

I’m honestly considering moving for a little bit!

[@UpAndAtEmAddie]

Completely unrelated to this travel vlog but are you still getting filler to reshape your lips? The shape is perfect 😍.

[@TheDessyRayWay]

nope! I did it once and realized I don’t need it lol

[@TheDessyRayWay]

Thank you 🥰

[@KnockOutCutie]

Can we see a video of you packing next time??? I’ve reached my ultimate algorithm lol finally seeing black women who are my age range and classy or demure, may I even add soft spoken. Like not the bad girls club type, no offense to those women. ❤❤❤

[@youngblisslife4308]

Did you pay taxes going through US customs on your items? They got me last time and everyone said I was either racially profiles or should have said no to making purchases. I'm going to Europe again next month and trying to not get got again 🙄.

[@TheDessyRayWay]

I did unfortunately 😭 idk the secret. Some people say it’s depending on if TSA is in a bad mood or not

[@youngblisslife4308]

@@TheDessyRayWay can’t wait to test my theory on this trip but it may have also been that I was coming from Paris and they probably knew it was my bday from my passport. She probably assumed 😒. I’m coming from Amsterdam this time which isn’t really a shopping city. I feel like they might not ask
