      I'm in my 70s. And, because what I've experienced on this planet, I PRAY, PRAY, PRAY that she can STAY a free spirit. There is a saying of Prophet Muhammad's:
      "You should go through this life as if you're just passing through."
      My teen years in the U.S. were the very opposite, because there was so much social turmoil then.
      TO ISABELL AFRO: STAY AS YOU ARE!!! NEVER CHANGE!!! Continue to dance yo ASS off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      That’s literally why she went. Did you not listening to the story? She paid (some outland is some of money trust me because I’ve looked into it) they target these first world nations from usually rich/upper middle-class white women. Then charge insane amounts of money for them to go out there and build houses or sometimes spread gospel.
      ((OooOoo yes they are usually groups of like 20+ so The individual is organizing these things are making like $200,000 in a month and they build like one house for a poor family))
      They live in small tents essentially and give the “volunteers” almost nothing to eat. But they pay $7-10,000 to go out there for something like six weeks. Yrs ago that was the cost I’m sure it’s probably higher now. (((this money would have gone over 1,000x further if had just sent it to individual families & projects))) The point is that you’re paying for the experience and a post a bunch of photos on your social media about how you care about the world and you’re helping people less fortunate than yourself.
      For that same amount I was able to build wells for 3 ENTIRE villages & a school.

    Isabell,
    I had seen some of your videos before, and I came across this video of how you ended up where you are. I absolutely love your heart for people of all backgrounds and the way you connect with people. You are such an inspiration, and I am thankful that when I see you, I do not see color, but rather a young woman with a gift. God has blessed you tremendously!
    I also want to commend your parents. When you stated that they loaned you the money to travel, I realized that they had set you up to be responsible and self-sufficient. The fact that you went back to Denmark to work to pay them back is commendable. Here in the United States, there is sadly a culture of entitled children and young adults with no vision, no sense of purpose, and no desire to work hard for what they want. You show to the world that you work hard to have the life you desire and that you don't do it on the backs of anyone else.
    I believe that God created each and every one of us for a purpose. We can not try to tell others what their purpose is or should be, but we should strive to know what WE OURSELVES are here for. I have to say I believe you may very well be living in your purpose, that being to serve as a beautiful, kind, and loving bridge between cultures and continents.
    I applaud and respect you, and thank you so very much for sharing your story and your gift with the world.

      Which is why what isabella did is considered brave.

    I have been disabled half my life.
    I got hooked when Isabella was dancing in the street and the caption was almost got hit by a car.
    These videos bring so much joy to me. I get the thrill of travel and joy of dance.
    I can't wait for the how they met and fell in love video. Because,
    Isabella and Ray have also reminded me of the joy of young love.
    The way you two look at each other when you dance makes me happy, it feels like you were meant to be.
    I start my day watching a few shorts. Isabella and Ray dancing starts my day , and its the last thing I watch at night.

    I’m 50 years old and live in Australia 🇦🇺 and I love watching your videos, they are not just for young people! Us older folk, like to live vicariously through your journey. It’s fascinating to see how other people live their lives, and it often sparks me into thinking how I would live if given another chance to be young again. I definitely would have travelled before starting a family, and seen more of the world. I have only travelled to America and ended up living in New York for 8 years. We are home in Australia now, and I wish I had the money to travel, but I don’t, and I can’t work to earn money now either. This is where watching CZcamsrs, fulfil a tiny part of my dreams, so thank you for sharing. The next best thing to travelling yourself, is watching someone else do it, the internet can be a wonderful thing. Much love and respect 🩷

Now I haven't missed any of your videos after getting over myself and respecting your talent. After hearing your story today I have a new respect for you and what you do, what kept me hooked was your interaction with the kids. I love the work you and your boyfriend are doing and you have my support from Washington DC USA ❤
