Travel United Kingdom: Oxford

[@Ludmila707]

Sonia, you are a great inspiration. I'm studying to be a Travel Agent at Belgrano Univerisity in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I love watching your videos because I can practice my English listening skills, and I can also learn about different touristic places around the world. I'm going to suggest this channel to my classmates. Kind regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@Metr0Wolf]

I live seven miles away from here and honestly it is a magical place, so many hidden treasures. I should cherish what I have so close to me.

[@gemmagoodman8531]

It's always interesting hearing people talk about Oxford. I was born here, I work here, I've never lived anywhere else. The walking tours really do only show a tiny part of the city. Otherwise it really is like anywhere else... Horrendous traffic, crime, poverty, homelessness. The students and tourists do bring in money and business, but generally living here isn't that big of a deal. It's the second most expensive city in the Uk in terms of living costs.

[@sara-adenafriedrich5011]

I actually stumbled upon your channel toady as I am packing to study abroad in Oxford. I have been really excited as I constantly suffer from fernweh but this made me even more excited 😃

[@JeanMiranda]

Your video brought back some sweet memories... I went to Oxford to years ago for a language course and spent three wonderful weeks there, but I'll tell you that I could spend my lifetime in Oxford. The place is really magical. Sometimes I even dream about it. Hope to get back there one day... Cheers from Brazil!

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be a very fun place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

[@SpencerSpellman]

Love this Sonia. The philosopher in me has always wanted to go to Oxford. Maybe on my UK trip next fall.

[@TheCagapewend]

Sonia, i love this. I wanna just come here, sit down all day, take photos and then write about it :)

[@evoGage]

This channel deserve well more views! Always well produced & presented.

[@kandath]

Thank you, Sonia for your whirlwind tour of Oxford, England where I was lucky enough to spend 25 years of my life. Your short and wonderful video brought back nostalgic memories, especially as I am away from this unique city now. You should have bicycled at Oxford, lol.

[@soniastravels]

Would love to attend classes in oxford! :)

[@XshellbearX]

Yay, I'm so glad you came to Oxford!! I'm lucky enough to live and work there, it's so beautiful!

[@SpencerSpellman]

Thanks Sonia! I'll definitely be blogging about it. Spent most of last summer in Europe and the UK and loved it, but didn't get to Oxford.

[@soniastravels]

Thanks for the ideas! We'll keep them in mind..

[@anshumankumar4993]

10 years ago!! :O :O Your story is too good!

[@MimMdance]

Beautiful place! And with some interesting history too. 2:41 Is that staircase where a Harry Potter scene from the first film was filmed though? Really looks like it.

[@suni639]

Amazing! You went to my home town! I love going back to Oxford! Don’t quite know how you had such nice weather though!

[@allmine111]

It would have been great if you had seen the exam periods where all the students are dressed very formally for a few hour exam. Love it!

[@alawrence2007]

I love it when Sonia goes somewhere I've already been. :)

[@JessRushworth]

Next time you're in the UK, head to Liverpool! It's rich in culture, full of crazy people and things to do. I think you'd love the quirkiness :) I love your videos!

[@soniastravels]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@sophiehussain3696]

They're not regular students, this is one of the best university's

[@shelleyhenkell5400]

Hey Sonia, have you ever done a vlog on daypacks/backpacks/crossbody bags to carry during the day on your travels? I noticed the shoulder bag/backpack you had in this video & I'm always on the lookout for a good "day bag." Thanks, and love your videos! --Shelley

[@coronadorosy1]

Hello, Sonia. I LOVE your videos. watching the part where you learn portuguese and then listening to your spanish, you're so PERFECT!! I'm Bolivian i now reside in the USA (i've been living here for 13 years), anyway, I love to travel, and the way you describe a tourist with a traveler i agree with you all the way. lastly, i think you should go to Bolivia or even travel all of South America, ITS SO GORGEOUS!!!! Good luck! and keep up the great work!!! :)

[@PowerPc94]

Sonia this is awesome, thank you for your videos. I love them. :)

[@nya5934]

Oxford is beautiful

[@madileneK]

your videos are so great! can tell a lot of hard work goes into them :)

[@emmavenice22]

I LOVED Oxford when I visited!!

[@the7thprime]

1:35 the location where they filmed Harry Potter 4, the scene when Malfoy gets turned into a Ferret.

[@RainbowCharms58]

Thought it looked familiar!

[@quelleplage]

I go to school there!! It's crazy that you were there! :)

[@soniastravels]

Would love to know how your trip goes :)

[@carlylespicks]

Gotta love it! Personality overload! :)

[@TedNghiem]

Would you attend some of the classes in Oxford? :)

[@AlasdairILoveOxford]

PS Sonia's last bit of advice is to be heeded, when she says, avoid coming here with a group and arrive early or stay on till the end of the day, as the city gets VERY crowded during middle of the day. By the way, New college and the Divinity school are also wonderful attractions and Harry Potter film sites but without the very expensive entry fee to Christchurch and its crazy queues.

[@taylorr2506]

Love your videos!!!!!! :) make a spring traveling tips!!!!!! Also I need help on how to pack my dogs supplies for traveling and my toiletries.

[@masas911]

You should be watched by millions , alos you should go to south east Asia ... there are some beautiful places over there

[@MR7MID]

your videos make me want to travel

[@soniastravels]

Haha. Thanks! :)

[@LibertadPedraza]

Me encantan tus videos!! quisiera saber que haces con tus mascotas cuando vas de viaje? como haces cuando viajas sin ellos, y si viajas con tus perros? Yo tengo un cachorrito y me gustaria saber que puedo hacer ;D GRACIAS!!

[@toothpastekiss822]

I am a student at Oxford university - Sonia is right - there is nothing more annoying than tourists asking me to take a photo of them in front of my college when I'm late to a tutorial (our word for classes)!

[@JonnyKahann]

if ur still in oxford, check out 4500 miles it's an indian restaurant

[@amandagong]

hey! can you do a video on traveling to london tips video?

[@br1an419]

I've also wondered why her channel does not have more viewers/subscribers.

[@Mcbs513]

:O I would loooove to go there one day!!

[@sarfraznazi6881]

Hi I want to talk you about this

[@susalkasarahi]

Totally saw some Harry Potter sets!

[@angelacheung147]

I went there with a large group tour, the crowd was kind of pissing me off

[@danielarivera9445]

Can you do a blog of wifi

[@ImAmazing1397]

I really wanna go to school here! high expectations but still, i can dream! lol

[@jorgegil22]

Lily. I´m afraid you are showing envy. I saw a couple of your videos and the difference as far as quality and content is awsome

[@electriquephoto]

Wonderful! :)

[@ytilibaliavification]

if you like that you should go to cambridge

[@shab21296]

how early is "very early"?

[@gnfb]

"Ordinary students ordinary school" i think you said ?? I really don't think going to school in Oxford can be classed as ordinary with pass students names such as Hawking, Auden, Blair, Boult and the list goes on. Quote: The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University", or simply "Oxford"), located in the English city of Oxford, is the oldest surviving university in the English-speaking world and is regarded as one of the world's leading academic institutions.

[@peiji.elanor]

I know I'll be inspired, if I went to that school :p

[@gjs671]

I really love watching your videos! You should travel to India :)

[@jorgegil22]

OK, I understand your frustration, I´m sorry you were rejected. Maybe you can try again with better luck.

[@saii8560]

I LOVE OXFORD

[@mrrohit8797]

nice

[@soniastravels]

:)

[@tinealily]

1) It's not school. 2) you can't walk 'back to the University' - there is no physical University. I could go on...

[@TheGuitaristemily]

i live near here

[@marshalll.8920]

why sounds engineers matters, also this was strangely vague.

[@16shatterglass]

Now I wish I was smart enough to go here xD

[@DerSpazzvogel]

Haha - me, too :-D

[@violet9jo]

Lol I live in oxford and I've never been into any of these places 😂😂

[@thinkforaminute]

Argh camera tapping! (At least you tone down the volume in the beginning.) Nice video, though!

[@Angel77777771]

You replied to the wrong person...

[@valrulz320]

You should go to India :D

[@vkolmes]

1:17 mr. Bean car

[@tinealily]

I'm showing envy, but not of the videos - I'm an Oxford reject.

[@Cmi1267]

Come to Cambridge Sonia! And I have to remind you again with your annoying tapping! Cheers!

[@pcmb8057]

[@louiscantwell9101]

Yeah the magic really is alive luckily you haven't seen the rest of Oxford!

[@caitlyntaylor8370]

+louis Cantwell ikr, i feel so happy for people who get to see this part of oxford and get to ignore places like blackbird leys.

[@MissHijabaholic]

Urgh lived there n oxford for most my life and I hate it

[@BeastGaming1337]

First

[@doneyhon4227]

This country is the most boring of Europe. I've visited it, I found nothing to do. London was a crap city like New York. I really prefere Paris and Rome.

[@garply101]

Doney Hon Well that's subjective. What kind of things do you look to do? London and New York are the world's only Alpha++ cities.

[@doneyhon4227]

garply101 So what? A ranking made on subjective criterion is not better than my subjective opinion. Paris is Alpha+ and third in your anglo-saxon ranking (unfair ranking as always when you see the activity in the big Paris compared to the big London). I'm from Finland and apologize me if I find London boring. Their is nothing to do for a tourist. Perhaps it's fine for a business man from the finance, but for a tourist it's kinda boring. The truth is that Paris is the beginning of a marvelous trip in history. Paris itself is a masterpiece. Each details are different and important. The architecture of London is just utilirian and well... one thing just looks like another thing. Plus, Paris is the center of France and continental Europe with all these good public transports (their is nothing but the taxi in GB to travel in good conditions). France is huge, has a lot of big touristic cities. You can use a car on their autoroute or the TGV to visit them. It's clean and always beautiful from region to region. London is the beginning of nothing. You go to London and...it's finished. The other cities are full of crap and you find nothing but a sad environment and crap roads. People are poor in the countryside of England. A trip to Paris is always a begining of a lot of new things. The countryside are not poor and always gorgeous. Why do you think that France has 84 millions of tourists when UK has only 34. London claims 2/3 of this figure. London is completely overrated. See this intense debate about the most overrated cities in Europe: www.travellerspoint.com/forum.cfm?thread=38655 All are agree. London is overrated. But never Paris. I see you coming with your francophobia, but don't try. I've visited the whole Europe and I know the truth about your country. The false figures from your country are a huge propaganda to hide the truth and the whole Europe knows that London is nothing more than a financial casino center with no taste. A huge part of the city is full of crap. The rest of the country is poor. The living standards in France far higher and you can see it in their cities. I can compare France to Finland about our living standards but not with UK. And we see this gap in the cities...

[@garply101]

I'm not reading all that. I really couldn't give a shit to be honest.

[@doneyhon4227]

garply101 So let me having my personal opinion without commenting it.

[@doneyhon4227]

garply101 I have an inferiority complex... but you insult me. So, who has this inferiority complex. See the figures, your incomes are very small for a finnish like me. Is it the reason why you insult me?
