Oh my goodness Emma, your words while talking about not wanting the urban sprawl and longing for LESS made me cry. It spoke to me so much and you articulated it so beautifully. I feel exactly the same. I am SO blessed to live in a small town in Maine, USA- a place with natural spaces down the road and wilderness not far away. I sincerely hope that you find your happiness and are able to move away from urban life. (Also, I want that section of your voiceover written down so I can read it and consume it over and over again, like poetry.) “one grows sick on the excess” “give me the grass…the wide open, and the foamy wake, and the whales”. I mean come ON, my SOUL 😍😍😍

I'm sitting here crying over the beauty of this vlog and some things you were saying. I moved to a small irish farm a couple of years ago but at the moment have to go back to germany over the winter (jobwise). People keep telling me that I should be grateful, because there's so much more happening in germany, clubs, theatres, cafes, everyone is always involved in so many projects. And yes, I can appreciate all of it but I don't miss it when I don't have it. My life here in ireland consists of waking up with the birds, being outside all day working on the farm, reading a book, going to bed. Not what most people would find very exciting but to me it is everything ❤ I wish you all the best in your journey of finding such a place for yourself!
@PaulinaReadsssАй бұрын
The best travel vlog I have seen. Idk why but I cried when you were talking about why you like the countryside and all that one can find there! It made me feel so at peace. Your voice and it’s smoothness makes me feel so comfortable, the music choice for the video was perfect, the video shots they all make perfect sense and tell a story by its own… everything of this video is right. Thank you for making art and sharing it with us! You inspire! 🫶🏼

I visited St. John’s for 10 days in 2018. I had had a rough surgery earlier that year, one which I’ve never recovered fully from. I spent all of my money and flew there from Ireland to stay with a friend and that trip has had such a profound impact on me. It felt for me like the dividing line between fighting sickness and disability, and coming home and settling into and accepting a new way of living, knowing I’d never return to work or a life that feels ‘normal’ again. Thanks so much for allowing me to revisit. I’m so glad you loved your trip 💙

Emma, you captured how I feel so eloquently! This video along with what you said bought tears to my eyes and a longing so intense that I could only clutch my heart and hope of a quiet life amidst nature one day. Having lived all my life in the city, such holidays feel like homecoming and going back to the urban life feels so difficult afterwards! P.S. Newfoundland seems like absolute heaven and I hope one day we can both live our dreams in a place like this!❤
