what it’s really like living in paris | getting settled + living alone

[@melyandres_]

Whatever you decide to do with your channel is not up to us, do what makes you feel comfortable, happy, and excited. If that means stepping back a bit and producing less videos but feeding your creative juices, then so be it. We’ ll keep watching girl 😊

[@user-mm5cd4kv2t]

Her long form is better though.

[@hillsideacappella]

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NEEDS MORE DETAILS ON THIS GORGEOUS APARTMENT?! The furnishings?! Elena, we are so happy you're loving life in Paris. Keep the content coming- not boring.

[@mindframegallery3128]

I thought she was in Nathaniel Drew's place.

[@DianneSullivan]

Yes I immediately recognised it as Nathaniel Drew’s apartment from the kitchen tiles. His renovation videos were great.

[@hillsideacappella]

@@mindframegallery3128I’ll have to look this up because I’m unfamiliar with him!

[@esikazemese]

@@mindframegallery3128 It definitely is his place.

[@BowmanMoran]

@@mindframegallery3128She is.

[@BarbaraBoholm]

Elena you are never boring,no matter if it is a chatty vlog or travel vlog or just like this a cozy drinking coffee,eating good,walking or cycling around Paris you make my day!!! And you post when you feel like it in your own pace because we are not going anywhere.... You listen to what you need,feel is right!!!💖🫖☕🥧🍵🥐🕯📓📚🖋Warm hugs coming your way

[@caryntonh1037]

I selfishly want even more KZbin content now that you’re in this fun place and fun time in life, but do what feels best. We’ll be here

[@LaSombraa]

Cope

[@MultiJanfi]

Paris content: I'd like to see - museums - cafes and parks with friends - getaways to the country oder seaside - your filming routine - your favorite spots/nice places to run in Paris Looove your videos no matter how "interesting" they are ❤

[@user-mm5cd4kv2t]

also the backside of Paris would be nice to see.

[@lovelybrokenpony]

Boring content? Girl you're always on the move, and you take us with you! That's not boring!

[@carriehagstrom9777]

Being in Paris mean your vlogs would never be boring! Selfishly, I’d love to see long form videos of your experiences there. But obviously, you should do whatever feels right for you!

[@rmereh]

Never bored by the content and does not feel repetitive! :) Personally, I don't actually enjoy the short form reels or a super pre-planned, narrative style YT video as much as I do a more casual vlog like this one (which can feel more intimate and vulnerable), where we're just with you for the day. Excited for more about Paris!

[@AgnesLoredana]

I am never bored with your content! It’s so soothing and inspirational and it really makes me enjoy my day to day life more. I also love the whole aesthetic of your videos, it’s a certain feeling that I get when I am watching them. Contentment, enjoyment…I am sorry to hear you feel like taking a break but I understand. Take good care of you and I hope you will be back soon 🤗

[@slickyyyy]

I love the cafe, lifestyle, park, library content when it comes to Europe bc they value preservation in their architecture which makes for very refreshing content like that. ❤

[@PattyBlogs]

More “days in my life in Paris”! Your work routine, what inspires you, take us with you to cafes, museums, book stores, parks! You’re never boring. Life is so different every day so you just learning and living your life and vlogging is fun to watch! Especially in a place like Paris

[@sxvzz9]

As someone who’s watched your channel for 5+ years, I want to see videos that inspire & excite you! You are the only KZbinr whose long-form content I still watch, but if it isn’t calling to you at this moment then leave it be and we’ll be here when you’re back 🥰

[@Innoodrr]

We all love your story, congratulations

[@helenhuiskes9817]

I absolutely love vlogs in this style that you do, and I'd love to see more of you exploring Paris! Especially if there are days you're just working, I'd love to hear more about how you get through longer, quieter work days in the city since that's a lot of life for many of us! I also love your documentary-style videos :) We'll support whatever you choose to do!!

[@suzanne7787]

Living the way you do was always my goal during school. When I graduated, I thought, 'Now I'm close to having the perfect life,' but I couldn't get a job, and it felt further and further away... But anyway, it's a beautiful place 🫶🏻🍻💗

[@maddiehaan6061]

I think the content you make that we’ve always loved as your viewers is the kind that you feel you have capacity and love for! So short form or long form or a break, whatever brings you what you need is what we’d want for you!

[@JM_Architecture]

Elena! Congrats on moving to Paris! We don’t blame you if you need a bit of a YT break. This is a BIG transition! Maybe take the summer to explore the city and share your findings with us in a month or two! best restaurants, coffee shops, museums etc. Whatever direction you take, we’re here for it! 🫶🏼

[@luvrom]

Congratulations on taking the leap! I've been living in Paris for 3 years and I remember those vulnerable early days. Now I'm more comfrotable doing things alone at my own pace: reading, visiting, sitting at a cafe for hours with no pressure to keep ordering or leave. In terms of your content, I'd love to see how it feels to be steeped in Parisian culture after living in the States for so many years.

[@loresantolaya1460]

I would LOVE to see you settle in in Paris, you are living the dream of mine, and just listening how happy you are, and the little things you discover about the city, it brings me so much value and joy. A break for re inspiration is so understandable though, but if you choose to blog your first weeks/months I’ll be here watching

[@LaSombraa]

Take the plunge and move to your dream city 🙏🙏

[@priyankachoudhary-mt4qq]

5 yrs of growing up with you and the vlogs never got boring.wait for them eagerly and watch them leisurely is my most fav thing to do and makes me so truly happy. Please do make the more stylized content ideas that you have but please also keep doing the weekly or weekend vlogs and now that you are in paris, i can watch a long video every day. Thank you for all your creations!

[@SafiyeBal-gt3cn]

Can totally understand and respect if you need a break, but if you’re asking if it’s boring then no! Your videos are cute and qualitative and now you’re in Paris which is super great.

[@is_christie]

Hey Elena, I am enjoying following people who i have been watching for years on yt and seeing the different style and form of content on tiktok and insta. I am also enjoying the excitement of people who have stepped back and are not posting as frequently on yt slowing down to one every month or bi-monthly.

[@Karabob82]

I found your channel 2 years ago when I was planning my first trip to Paris and its been one of my fav channels ever since! Its so hard to find original and beautifully made vlogs. I think theres so much “short” videos out there and what I love about yours is that they are longer but have so much value and beauty! I would def miss them but I also understand what its like to be uninspired!

[@jiangxinzeng7610]

It is too earlier

[@allisonedwards6186]

I have never felt bored watching your content! No matter how simple or extravagant the video is, I think you always bring a certain comforting aura that is so enjoyable to experience. I totally understand the burn out and I know how much you value creating informational/beneficial content for your viewers so do whatever feels best! How is your french coming?? Sounds like you've made a lot of progress!!

[@ft.douchka]

Just seeing you live your life is inspiring! I have been loving watching you explore new places, styles, interests and what (new) things you find important!❤️keep doing you, we love that you share hour life however much and often with us!

[@NapsugarB]

Your videos are NEVER boring, but of course take all the time you need to creatively rejuvenate :) when you feel up to it, I would really love to hear more life chats and deliberations about what it's like being in your mid/late twenties in the world right now - I find those chats so so relatable, and soothing, just because it makes me feel so much less alone. Hope you're enjoying Paris! x

[@matildefreitasleite2442]

Please don't take a break! Your videos inspire me so much. Despite the long journey on KZbin or the lack of creativity I think your videos aren't repetitive because they show different stages of your life. For instante specially for you might seem just the same but it's part of the daily life and of the evolution. You can just post not so regularly! But at the end its your decision :)

[@glimmer1010]

Nooo we love your vlogs, it's long, intimate and familiar. We love you!!

[@mollyjanes8678]

Would love to see - doing things on ur/friends bucket list - paris neighbourhood guides - weekend or week long trip around europe vlogs - what x person spends in a week - ur favs: books, products, films etc.

[@AnuskaDhar]

I swear you always post at exactly the time I need to see your video! Going through a new phase of life as well, so it's comforting to hear your internal monologue going through yours. 💓 If you need to take a proper pause from KZbin to soak it all in, I say go for it, and we'll be excited to see what you feel called to capture when you return!

[@rosatorres6430]

Elena hon, we or at least I, live vicariously thru your adventures NEVER boring, ALWAYS interesting, you do YOU. If you feel you need a true break, take it don't overthink it. We'll be here waiting for a refreshed, recharged, and fullfilled Elena!❤

[@zeyneppzeynep1746]

Definitely not boring you're suc an inspiration for young women and live to watch your chill videos your calm energy gives me relaxation that I need. Please keep doing:) ❤

[@Maya-qx8ig]

never boring! I would love more longer form Paris content!! So excited to learn about your travels in Paris :))

[@KayleePedersen]

looove your casual vlogs. they bring me calm 🫶🏼

[@_anonymousse]

yes, you just got here, so we want to see it all through your eyes! But also, you do you... if it distracts from being present and causes you to look back and regret that you were not fully here during this special time, we will be waiting for when it feels like the right time. But also the apartment series it what brought me to your channel, and if you do that in paris it will be so cool to learn about the different neighborhoods and see what parisian apartments look like compared to new york.

[@Amare_studios]

Your videos are one of favorite forms of entertainment during my unwind time. I love the aesthetic vlogs, inspirational monologs, travel videos, and everything that you've been posting! I think it's important to feel inspired though so do whatever you need to

[@josepha133]

I would be interested in "boring" everyday vlogs from Paris from you!

[@JiwonKimlove126]

please keep your youtube!!

[@joseetremblay7977]

Your vlog is always great. The images, music, thoughts. I love everything.

[@RonalddeJong-f7v]

Ooh you are in Nathaniel Drew's apartment! Hope you have a great time, love your vlogs!

[@rishikabhardwaj6371]

oh damn! did she move in ri8 after he left?

[@mindframegallery3128]

I thought the same thing!!!

[@hrnancastillo]

Was looking for this comment, happy to see Im not the only one who noticed

[@janewahlgren1651]

lol I also immediately thought Wait, I’ve seen that apt before! I remember when his mom was there helping him design the kitchen shelves and room layout! 😄🤩

[@janewahlgren1651]

I wish she’d share how she came to be in this apt! 😄

[@TaylorsJourney]

i have been following you for a while! since you were in college and it is so wild to see how far you have come! Also girl I love your adult style now, all you outfits are so elegant. I wish you continued happiness and I hope paris is all you want it to be! Best of luck on your journey beautiful! ❤💕

[@mrigakshidev7136]

i love your videos Elena!! You arre NEVER boring !! you are such an inspiration to me .sending lots of love💙

[@raquelcolon5785]

You are never boring. And please don’t take a long break. But whatever you do, I will be here when you get back. ❤❤❤

[@afloridagalabroad]

A little summer break from KZbin to live the best life in Paris sounds like a fab idea 😊😊

[@rosiewetton4987]

I love seeing everything and anything you post but if it's not creatively stimulating for you, take a breather ❤ I find these kinds of daily vlogging/ slow life videos so calming and comforting so don't be afraid of it being boring! I just wanted to share a couple personal Paris recommendations: - The Petit Palais is free to look around and is gorgeous as you enter, there's also so much to see downstairs -Maslow is a seasonal vegetarian tapas style restaurant and has some amazing bites! Go with a friend or 2 so you can order lots and share!

[@AgnesLoredana]

You’re back! 🤗 I am so happy, I love your content.

[@robbiep.5497]

Been seriously considering moving to another country (preferably somewhere in Europe) in the next few years and have been stuck on where to even begin planning that. A vid about your experience with moving would be so helpful!

[@nadijoe]

Hiii, I’m moving to Paris in August and I’m so excited!! Your videos are making me more and more excited by the day! I would really like to see a day as a local, from getting groceries to staying at home and going out with friends!

[@losingground1430]

I would love a video on moving to another country. How much you need to save, did you have to get a visa? It's my dream to live in another country for a year or more and would love to know what this process looks like.

[@josephlow7075]

!!!

[@newenergymagic5271]

She talked about getting her Paris visa in a previous video. I believe it took 6 months to attain.

[@patriciateague8677]

Don't take a break while in Paris. I'd like to see your vlogs as you go around Paris.

[@inespk]

Noooo! Please don’t stop posting your videos! I look forward to them! But I understand this is your life and you must do what is best for you, you should enjoy it how you see fit. ❤

[@cherdallas]

I think a series similar to your Buzzed In one in Paris would be so cute! I'd love to learn more ab the different neighborhoods

[@matildefreitasleite2442]

So great to see you upgrading and growing in life and to see your dreams becoming true!

[@olimpiahillmore]

this is just what i needed, love your content!!! Really shows how you can still enjoy yourself and do calming and fun activities! Love your longer form videos! Thank you for sharing💛❤

[@kinsersprint11]

Elena what ever you do its only up to you and what ever makes you happy and safe that's all that matters in life so please stay safe and God Bless You 🙏🙏 🙏

[@linzlu7051]

Elena, if you are feeling like you need a break do it!! But I love your simple videos of you doing stuff around town, reflections on life, you taking care of yourself and having sweet moments by yourself and w friends!!

[@ellataylor1957]

No such thing as boring content on this channel! I don't know if this can help, but I thought your Manhattan series was great, and it would be awesome to let others show you around different Parisian arrondissements or even regions in France!

[@ritikas3006]

I love your sunshine kitchen and the wall photos are so well arranged. I wish to be in Paris someday in my life.

[@lindaisv]

You're vlogs are definetily not boring!!!

[@victorialaf]

Hey personally I love your vlog. I find them really inspiring and creative. I feel like a longer video on youtube shows us way more about you life in paris then a short form on tiktok

[@shaimashaikh6860]

Ah! No!! Your KZbin videos are theeee best! Been watching you since your Cali days, don't ever stop!!

[@marleenhoek1604]

I love love love Paris. I feel like a break might give you some creative ideas (our brain needs downtime!). I would love to see more of -museums in Paris - different neighbourhoods and their history/visiting appartments - cultural differences you've noticed I feel like you shine best when you can deep dive in to history/culture. So i hope you can give yourself some time to do exactly that and find your flow again🙌

[@sarahRA86]

Agree, self discipline is the best gift you can give yourself

[@alfredalcala8916]

Paris, the art of it all! You can make it better. Look forward to your new adventures.

[@meghanmartin8492]

Don’t let your mindset limit you with French!! A lot of language learning is really about mindset, and it sounds like you have a bit of a fixed mindset about not feeling naturally good at learning languages. I moved to Spain as an English speaker and working on shifting my mindset to a growth mindset has made a huge different in fluency. Channel the confidence of a white man speaking a second language and you will fly 🦅

[@Fringinto]

Hiiii, as a French (from the south east not Paris), living in Toronto for the past 10 years and sharing my own experience on social ... I LOOOOOVE watching other people move to my country! About your French, let's be honest it's a hard language, but now you are surrounded by French you'll learn faster. I moved to Toronto with a broken English and after 6 months I was already feeling so much better. I actually about the reality of moving somewhere speaking fluently the language. You might feel lonely sometimes because you don't understand everything around you, even stupid because you can't respond as fast as you would in English. But just want you to know: its normal and I felt the same! But now I'm fluent in English and can't imagine a life where I didn't speak English! Sending love and support from Toronto!

[@Arushhiiii]

Finally the wait is over, Elena has posted💕💕🎀

[@styledosage784]

would love to see maybe daytrips around france, fave spots in paris, how you meet friends, differences of paris vs nyc, stuff like that! I’m also going there for a week soon so love seeing this content for inspo ❤

[@glennowen3334]

wow... she got even more beautiful over the years i've been watching her videos.

[@andreeavasiac]

I agree with what others are saying, give yourself time to adjust and rest, you need it ❤

[@iloverednails]

What do you mean you make boring content? This vlog is the proof that you are the contrary. So so cool, especially the fact you took us on a few days vlog.

[@martacreates]

Omg seeing you and Moya together😍😍😍 two of my favorite KZbinrs!!!!

[@andreamaloney4404]

I’ve always wanted to see Paris from your point of view and I absolutely look forward to your KZbin videos ❤❤❤

[@courtneycardini]

I have been watching since the CA days, and I am excited to see what your next chapter will bring! ❤

[@camicayenne]

I was just re watching your old vlogs because you haven't uploaded in a while and here you are! 🥹

[@denissegonzalez3545]

No please dont stop i love just vlogs I love to see paris

[@AdriWiid]

I personally watch your videos for scenic moments with relaxing music 😍⚘♡

[@EsmeeVisuals]

The first few seconds of the video made me subscribe to your channel, your content is not boring at allllll

[@little-paper-plane]

Always excited when I see a new Elena Taber vlog 🫶 love whatever you post

[@raquelyeomans]

I’d love to hear more about your experience applying for your French visa!

[@elytejano]

we're not going anywhere!! take all the time off you need. have fun exploring Paris 🥐✨

[@kd2533]

I stayed in Paris on too much of tight budget in awful accommodation which hindered my experience. So nice seeing someone else's enjoyable time

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Enjoyed this quick video. So many wonderful shots. I loved the garden where you went for tea, and loved that bookstore, wow!. I too recently started a new journey. After many years in NYC I now find myself on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I have no idea what I'm going to do, I will just take it one day at a time and see what happens. Good luck to both of us.

[@shannonkirkpatrick6161]

I love the travel vlogs! And just seeing daily life in other parts of the world :)

[@smurfchildlol]

Selfishly I would love to see more content of your travels. I have been feeling the urge to move and your videos have contributed to my decision to move across the country and start fresh in a new place.

[@akinmelek]

you are not boring with your content. I would love Instagram videos as well, but watching you, just being yourself on KZbin, and going through life, is really inspiring and relatable. Please give us more Paris content, it is lovely :) Also maybe you can make some content, how do you choose your clothing items? You have quite good taste, and it's not that because you're trendy, it is basically you know what goes well with your personality, and body. And I think everyone has something to learn from that :) Anyways, you are doing great, being very inspiring and real, and I love your content :)

[@PrecursorLegend]

I’m very new to this channel (your moving out of NYC video was recommended to me) but it’s immediately apparent that you fit right in in Paris. Like you actually seem Parisian.

[@carolinehenson5505]

hi elena

[@omarsulaiman8456]

Doing more videos on the history and culture of France would be cool. Perhaps one comparing the cafe scene between New York and Paris?

[@monique_tech]

The white top you're wearing while doing some home work and thrifting is BEAUTIFUL I need to know where it's from heellppp

[@canamcghee4709]

if the long-form vlogs on YT aren't sparking joy for u these days, maybe it could be so fun to see you doing some sit-down podcasty style videos, potentially with any of the friends you're making!! (who knows, they could even be in franglais 👀)

[@SimEssence]

If you feel the need to step back then you have to take care of yourself first, but your content is never boring and I love this style of videos that you create

[@JuanLemusGonza]

I love the background music that you have chosen for this video!

[@marthaespitia514]

Really cute apartment! It'd be nice to see more places to go in the city

[@sandrasvsa]

I’ve always loved your vlogs, living vicariously through you 😊 - hope you enjoy Paris to its max and can’t wait to see your journey unravel - thanks for sharing always!!

[@MarshaCampbell-f5z]

I’m new to your channel and as I watch you at the start of this video acclimatize I’m thinking it would be nice if you met Moya… and lo and behold who pops into frame. I am glad she is in your circle of Parisian friends. So excited for you embarking on this new life’s journey. Btw, loving your apartment, charming in every way minus the walk up. Certainly not cramped. Thank you for sharing.

[@melina.344]

I’d love to see daily vlogs of you in Paris!!

[@carlf.9035]

Hi Elena, youre right Paris can be a lonely city. People are surprised when they go their for longer periods. Maybe doing the vlogs can help fill those spaces in time. Just my thoughts but of course do what makes you feel comfortable and what works for you best.

[@lolamost3100]

I visited Paris last year and I loved it. It is my dream to one day I can move to France. You’re so lucky enjoy🩷

[@Erablexpotionmagique]

I was so looking forward to your new video!!! your apartment is gorgeous love the vive and I am excited to see your more Paris contents!!!
