In 2017, I decide to leave high school a year early and take a gap year... and it was the best decision I've ever made. I became worldly, I got over my small-town mentality, and I am more confident than ever.

I really think I was born in the wrong country. I am so addicted to your accent. 😶

Hi Lucy. It's so comforting and healing to listen to you and your journey. I love that "sometimes people go and gap year to find what they do want to do. but i would say that you end up just realizing all of the things you don't want to do", "16 year old Lucy would have had no idea who 22 year old Lucy was going to be", and "whatever comes, will come". I have been thinking of a gap year for 6 months. Now, I have finished my term, and is at the roundabouts. I get a lot of courage and belief and energy from your video. Thank you for all of that. I really appreciate your efforts and fearlessness. Wish you the best and I wish to come back and update on my gap year later :))

[@LucyAlllan]

Hey Hannah, If you do a gap year please come back to this video, I would love to hear about it :)!!!

[@hannahsgapping]

@@LucyAlllan haha sure 😚😚

[@indigoa5591]

Love your video❤ I really really admire the choice and changes you have made after you step out to take a gap year. Unfortunately it’s not that common to take a gap year in my country. So sad, I think I need some time to figure out what’s the next step and what the future could be.

Loving this video Lucy! ❤ Wish I had this type of information at my fingertips ten years ago when I graduated high school 😢😔 I worked straight outta HS and somehow 'lost'(?) my dreams along the way and lived a mundane life; pandemic hit, unfortunately lost my job and now three years later am working two jobs trying to support myself and my family (read, black tax😮‍💨). Only last year when I started watching you, did I start slowly, slowly but surely start to dream again and am saving bit by bit for a trip somewhere sometime in the future (if the universe hasn't fetched me yet 🙈). xx

[@LucyAlllan]

You got this!! Maybe your dream right now is spending time with your family and working hard and you're big moment is yet to come :)

[@afonsoschafermeier2634]

Thank you so much!! But shiii,I m completly falling in love with your voice

[@tricolore31]

Keep up the meaningful videos man. Love your lifestyle. I'd like to travel like you someday

[@LucyAlllan]

:)!

[@polyxenigiamaga5318]

You make me feel so powerful and accepted. ❤

[@LucyAlllan]

Ahhh this is the best comment !!🥹

[@BanshanMarwein]

Never thought of a year gap, after watching this video I got inspired to try it out, sounds like a cool idea especially if we plan to travel and discover 🎉❤ , cheers for the idea Lucy 😊

[@LucyAlllan]

Takes a lot of saving up, or hard work during it but it's super beneficial :)

[@dr_zenap]

؟

[@majunascimento5661]

I liked this video because it made me think about lot of things of life

[@LucyAlllan]

the goal!! :)

[@samosborne]

Damn the perfect sponsor for you type of content 😍

[@LucyAlllan]

Right! Been waiting for this moment haha ♥️

[@mimuqod]

Looooooved it

[@LucyAlllan]

:)

[@victorrsouz]

All the premises of this girl only makes sense to people who have money. There's nothing here for the ones in their "gap years" who would be saving so they could get to college, or just survive while they, for some reason, couldn't just continue their education.

[@LucyAlllan]

Hey! I appreciate the comment but I beg to differ. I started working at 15 and I was working full time during that gap year, travelling on weekends before I saved up enough to do 6 weeks travelling europe at the end of it.

[@victorrsouz]

@@LucyAlllan well, it's okay. You truly don't have to represent everyone in your videos. But I for one, for reasons I don't really have to get into but overall fall under the umbrella of being broke, could never walk your path, no matter how amazing it seems.

[@marionxah]

I am in my gap year atm, but i am getting lazy hahah. But i am going interaill in some weeks

[@LucyAlllan]

Have a great trip!

[@joandarc441]

Would you visit Australia 🦘 and visit the iconic Steve Irwin Zoo???😊😊😊

[@redhidinghood9337]

I had 3 gap years and it ain't fun

[@DudeMan-xs3db]

And then I just chundered EVERYWHERE

[@colleen8927]

Is this sign God??🥲 I am currently in Uni and I was literally thinking and telling my mom yesterday about my need of taking a gap year to go work and craft my business plan.🥰😊

[@LucyAlllan]

it must be a sign!!!

[@Vanillaqyoo]
