    Looool at “thinking about the husband I just made up”. This is so accurate, the confidence and just knee jerk “yep I’m married” is a mood

    Cool cool cool- midway through I thought " This girl is so dope! I hope we cross paths when I'm living in Paris." By the END, I thought ' Right so, we about to be the best of friends." hahah That guy approaching you was freaking priceless and with noooooo hesitation, your reply when he asked if you were married??? So prime. You are a legend among us, frfr

    I feel like I would love to move to a new country, change my life, visit new places, new restaurants, new activities and things to do... BUT IM LEGIT SCARED to end up alone... not being able to make new friends and all that stuff its what's stopping me from doing it... oh and also the fact that im 15 lol and im still in high school but ive been thinking about moving abroad when I finish high School but like I said im scared of ending up alone... anyway cool video Tylah! I just discovered your channel like 20 minutes ago and it is AMAZING!! you're so funny and charismatic!

    • @TylahAli
      @TylahAli  Před 4 lety +6

      Camilo Franco the fact that you are 15 and are thinking about this is already so amazing. you will be fine :) i know it! it is such an amazing experience i wish i knew about at your age, it will change your life. you will never be alone. there are people to meet everywhere you go. and on the odd chance that you are alone, you will find peace in that. i always went places alone, got lunch at restaurants by myself etc. and i fell more in love with myself than i ever had before. no matter what happens you’ll come out a better person. one you didn’t know existed before and one you will never let go of again♥️

      Camilo Franco Just think that if you are going and starting new in a country, there are so many others who will be doing the same! you’ll meet people from all over. and so many who want to make new friends. you’ll never be alone :) i’m glad i can help 🥰

    What do you mean by "I feel safer here than in the United States?", is it related to your skin color?

      I’m interested in being an Au pair this summer and I looked into your videos and saw that you choose Au pair world. I was wondering why you choose that company and how did you know if they were scamming you. I started using this website called “Global work and travel Au pairs” and my parents said it seemed like a scam so I cut contact. I don’t want to run into that again so I was wondering if you could help.
      Thank you!

      Chloé Grace I chose APW because I knew 2 personal friends who had became Au Pairs through that website. When it came to verifying my host family I honestly just trusted them since I facetimed the whole family before. I looked my host parents up on linkedin to make sure they were real people 😂. I met so many other people after moving to france that also went through APW so it’s definitely reputable. The families have to pay and the au pairs applying dont
