I moved to England from France in my 30s, turned 40 this year, and heading to Japan. It takes courage to start over, love this video

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Amen to that

[@prospectivechaos]

Me a week ago watching one random video: "Wow, she is so lovely." Me today: "Oh, she posted a video. This is a Sunday highlight." In all seriousness I so vibe with your journey and wish you so much peace and happiness 😊

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

YAAAAY! Welcome back!

[@SamuelStevens-ff7wn]

🎉Yes girl.. I couldn't agree more. Her videos really do bring joy. She's a wonderful filmmaker.

[@Islandlivinggal]

Hey there from a person who is living in Thailand on the island for 15 years now. I understand the feeling of not knowing for sure and exploring, life is a process. Good luck!

[@whitneyw298]

I’m grateful God brought me your videos. I’ve been struggling with not feeling like I’ve done enough and where to go after college. Your presence has helped me understand that it’s okay not to rush and take the day as a glory. I’ll get to my goals but I don’t worry about them as frequently now. Thank you for showing your beautiful mindset on life and your walk with God. ❤

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Thank you so much, Whitney. Your comment truly touched my heart. I'm so grateful that my videos have been a source of comfort and inspiration for you. It's a blessing to know that sharing my journey and mindset has helped you find peace in taking things one day at a time. Remember, it's perfectly okay to move at your own pace and trust in God's timing. Your goals will be achieved, and the journey there is just as important and beautiful. Thank you for your kind words and for being a part of this community. Stay blessed and keep shining. ❤

[@Mfoukos]

A woman like you ,that she’s literally can have everything if she wanted ,moved to Thailand for the next step of your life ( doesn’t matter what it is ) ,is a huge respect 🫡🙏🏻

Diffuser is a game changer. Just don't use excess oil and remember to wipe clean & dry between use or mold will form

[@audiob2027]

Don't forget to add the word "ka" at the end of phrases, words in Thai. It expresses politeness and goes a long way with Thais. "Chai ka" Love the content, thank you for sharing!

[@antonio5444]

Antoinette, thank you so much because you're an inspiration for me because I'm going to leave my country and live abroad. So again thank you for recording your journey for us.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You are so welcome. You can do it

[@ingridthompson6512]

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Youre most welcome. Thank you for watching

[@nikkiep23]

Happy Sunday! Yes l can totally relate with the feeling when living abroad. I lived in Europe for 7 years and loved it overall. Now that l'm in my late forties, l'm circling back to the idea of moving abroad again.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

I truly love living abroad

[@fredthomas4916]

Dear Ann waking up each day is a thankful start you are living without the U.S.A. stress everything the sme pressure and stress whitest being expensive Thailand is so friendly an warm keep your journey going See you soon

[@Rodderz1]

I Network with the right expats whenever there. I saw too many who were either too negative or too positive with Rose Tinted Glasses. Like everything in life, the right balance and an open mind to both sides of the argument are important.

[@edwardlawler9487]

Living abroad in the right location is just flat out peaceful. Enjoy life as it’s short and make the best of it stress free one luv

[@Keys2gorgeous]

I just turned 35, and I have been feeling the pull in my spirit to take this journey. I am looking to be in Thailand by December. I'm really looking forward to it. From your videos im gaining more courage.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You can do it!

[@childofgodsfavor6909]

You are spiritually connected with God, which is the greatest part of life. Keep living the vision that God has for you! ☺️Great things are happening with more to come. God bless you!🤗🙏🏾❤

[@onlyinthailandkultan4306]

Hello Antoinette, I recommend meditation. Not trying to change or take anything away, but you are in the land of a Buddhist country. It might be worthwhile. With Love and admiration😊

[@user-mf4jc3zu1p]

Yes i am in bangkok like to meet her

[@jenibo]

If you are a Christian I would caution against. Mediation is a new age practice and can be very dangerous spiritually and mentally. Meditate on the word of God- don’t empty your mind. Blessings ❤

[@amamani9]

I have been watching you for awhile in the background, you are not afraid to Let Go & LIVE LIFE!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

[@cheryldurham6021]

Love the fact that you are able to touch on the areas of transparency and vulnerability. I admire that you challenge yourself to try new things. Keep pushing forward in the land of smiles.

[@danielcarlies5151]

Antoinette, try and see how your body reacts to no coffee ... even caffeine free coffee has caffeine. Sometimes, our body chemistry changes, and we can no longer drink what we used to drink. It could be the cause of anxiety . Tea has caffeine also. So try to use only flavored small brand caffeine free tea. Those actually have no caffeine .

[@tc-cf3hv]

i have no idea how your videos are so relaxing..always look fwd to your videos

[@amamani9]

I love your Journey, Live Life to the fullest embrace Self in Everyway, Every Day, YOU GO GIRL!!!

[@NextCelebrity]

Love seeing these Bangkok vlogs! Can’t wait to visit and see all what Thailand has to offer! Peace and blessings

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Thank you. Stay tuned for the Thailand trip

[@AGilbert_81]

Congratulations...you're 90% ahead of the rest of us, so keep on moving. As a prepper, i would suggest investing in a portable power supply station of a 1000w or more. Anker, Bluetti etc.

Speed Dating/Friending sounds like an adventure and would be an inspiration for introverts like myself. As a seasoned soul, I would love to see more networking and game night events that reflect on Grown and Sexy generation. I swear it's hard to find unless it's a dance scene.

[@nosizwemvusi5874]

Hi Antoinette, and Mom if you are in the comment section, (hey girl hey!) When you put the scriptures up, in my mind's eye I saw the "word" in black rimmed frames with white mats or some style of raffia matting like your new plant basket, but still black rimmed frames. And then they were tiered like stairs from left to right, going from top to bottom. Hope this helps, stay inspirational as usual.

[@SweetMissMikka]

So inspirational ❤

[@NaomiLaBonita]

I have an 8oz French press. I bought it because I don't drink much coffee and my coffeeholic husband uses it (over his 32oz press) and loves it 😅

[@breeskilove4817]

The scripture murals, how about framing them with colored frames for a pop of color. I live in a different city than I grew up in. Most of my friends are through work. When the panorama happened I realize that although sometimes I get lonely, I enjoy my own company. I guess I’m a selective extrovert 😂😂😂

[@SamuelStevens-ff7wn]

You could line the inside of the wicker tub with some plastic, poke some holes for water drainage and remove the plant from its current pot. Oh, and the diffuser looks so nice :) Thanks for another lovely video.

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

Thanks for the tips.

[@939nchs]

You can travel to and live in every different country, town, city, state, province etc. but wherever you go……you take YOU with you! Honey, people are really the same everywhere you go and reestablish yourself. Different cultures exist all over the world everywhere. Learn to love and accept YOURSELF. Stop trying to run away from YOU.❤

[@lee-sn5qi]

She's not running 😊

I'm 45 year's old and don't know where my life is going nobody truly but God we can and hope so there's no age limit to this question why people ask like everyone should have a set plan for their future or life no doesn't work that way unfortunately for many people 😊

Hey. Welcome

I just found your channel two or three weeks ago and love your vibe. I would've loved to have seen your weight loss journey. I lived in Korea and Qatar and loved both experiences. I wouldn't mind moving back. I have eight countries I'm considering moving to, two in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central America. I need to shave it down to four and then vet those locations before I make a decision.

Wow just ran into your video and very good content showing your life here in Bangkok. As the father of three girls (some of who have lived abroad with me at time) I want them to embrace the idea of living abroad. I have lived in Bangkok for 5 years and the UAE as well. When you are bored or lonely reach out. I passed your video onto a friend who shares your love for living in the van and camper as well.

can wait to start my life in my 30 vlogs

[@user-pz4vb9cu8u]

I too felt lonely while traveling abroad during my 3-year sabbatical but the expats and locals I've met in the cities I was visiting definitely made the experience worth while to the point where I'd do it again, now. Almost two years later.... I wonder could my issue have been related the fact that I rarely traveled domestically growing up and that I've never traveled internationally until a few years prior to my sabbatical. Do people who grew up traveling all over the world from childhood to adulthood that decides to relocate internationally have the same feelings of fear, loneliness, etc? I figured because my experience was not something of the norm in my bubble that it's why I initially struggled but for someone where traveling and living abroad is common to them.... how is their experience.

Should you have any questions about the two, feel free to email me [e-mail]. I look forward to hearing from you.

[@general67]

You appear to be quite lonely out there.. is there a love interest out there? being in another country is great,,im all for it but being lonely can make any situation depressing.. question: as a black woman out there is there much of a social life for you?

[@AntoinetteYvonne]

You mentioned the word, "appear" which is the key word here. What people see online from creators is curated content, and my life is no different. While companionship or, as you put it, a "love interest," can be important, it is not always the answer to feelings of loneliness. Loneliness can be experienced regardless of relationship status. I take it you're new to my channel as I showcase my life connecting and surrounding myself with diverse communities here. Either way... welcome.
