moya, I'm 28 and i came across your channel a few months ago when i was coming out a 4 year relationship. it started me thinking about all the things i've said no to in my life out of fear & a guarding of stability & safety as a disabled, introverted person. but i've found it both so calming and so reassuring watching your openness online & your seeking out of new adventures. it encouraged me to start a channel of my own, documenting my disability, & to make plans to do some solo travel & live abroad for the first time, which i plan to do from the autumn. thank you, it's truly been life altering seeing glimpses of the beautiful life you're creating
I just came out of a 3 and half relationship as a disabled/neurospicy introvert and I have no clue what to do! you've gained a subscriber as I would love to support your journey!
@@babushkka this was so nice, thank you Sonya! It's a strange limbo to be in, feels like losing a partner and carer. But I'm sure there's lots of wonderful things on the horizon for us both :)
!! thank you so much for your comment and eeeek wising you all the best for this next chapter and abroad!!! i'm sure it is going to be amazing and i hope so many beautiful experiences and people come into your life xx thank you so much for being here!
@@moyamawhinney thank you moya, means a lot
Omg the first person I see with my name, Jamila :)
your energy is so contagious, when those girls just started talking to you in the embroidery course it you can see how much your vibes attract other peoplee!
awwww !! this is so cute hehehe thank you!!
oh man now that you said the vibes were weird at the villa I need to know what made the experience so weird!!
Same!
hiii!! just not worth the money (have stayed in much nicer places for a fraction of the price!!), felt like we were intruding on the family/people who live there and also one of the rooms we stayed in was dirty and lowkey haunted vibes hahaha - I just would not personally recommend and was not a relaxing stay ... I think our expectations were so high from seeing it online so maybe if you go in with this knowledge it would be better :// hope this helps!
I feel so grateful to have discovered your channel during lockdown watching u being a uni student to being an adult figuring life out sharing bits and peices of your daily life the editing the warmth you are literally everyone's comfort person out there!!..♡♡♡
wooooow omg thank you for being here ... ur support means so much!! biggest hugs hehe
MOYA im so proud of everything you’ve been able to accomplish in such a short time in Paris💓💓 !! every video you craft is so comforting. truly learning a thing or two of ur vlogging
wow I LOVE U. you are literally the sweetest always thank u!!!
moya's vlogs are literally always about food, where to eat and what to eat. and i love it
loveeee ur energy so much
MOYA YOU MADE ME CRY !!! I moved from Japan to The Netherlands very recently and your advice from your bed is hitting me so hard, like I literally cried a bit, cuz I have no friends or family in The Netherlands and my mother tongue is not English or Duch either which giving me a little bit stress, but I feel so much better that you're on the same boat and seeing you are thriving getting out from your comfort zone is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beautiful moments 💗
Thats so brave of you!!! You'll find all the friends and love
omg wishing u all the best!!!!!!! that is a crazy far move and hope u know u will always have an internet friend here
hiii!! dutchie here :) wow! that’s a brave move! i will send you a dm on insta. love to connect!! 🫶🏼💌
AS SOON AS I SAW: I CLICKED. moya you are living my dream life. i dream of moving to paris and i love living vicariously through you. you inspire me to keep me learning French and try and move to Paris some day
AHHH u got this!!! sending so much love hehehe thank u for being here!!!
@@moyamawhinney ofc! wishing u love from the United States
I literally gasped when I saw that you were at an A.P.C. event - this is such a special brand and I was so excited to see you there stitching your little heart out. So amazing!
I think when you mentioned about getting out of your comfort zone I really resonated with that, I constantly fear being judged for trying to learn languages or meeting people but I think like you said if it’s meant to be it will happen
moya, your vlogs are like a comforting hug
moya, you're such an inspiration. im so glad to have found your channel during covid, thanks for taking us along your journey 🥹
I’m obsessed with you and your lifestyle

I moved to Paris a couple of years ago and constantly think about how to make friends as a 22 year old - freshman adult. It can be difficult to do on your own and especially with a language barrier, but it's nice to hear your thoughts on it as well! Genuine people over everything.
freshman adult!!! sending love to youuuu xx
moya, you are such a light! i am preparing to move to paris for about a year in the fall -- so your message about openness while meeting new people in a new place is sooooo relevant to me. thank you for simply just being you and putting out so much love through your videos. we feel it, and in turn, we emanate it.
ahhhh!!!!! wishing you all the best for your move!!! so freaking exciting and im sure ill see u soon heheh xx
Thank you for your videos it’s so inspiring and beautiful. You are truly my comfort person and your videos my comfort place, I love you so much ⭐️❤️🩹🤩
I have loved watching all your Paris videos so far Moya; you were living my dream and I just got the news this past weekend that I’ll be moving to Paris in September for my masters 🥹 seeing you navigate your life in Paris by yourself has made moving to my dream city slightly less scary so thank you!
omg!!!! CONGRATULATIONS THAT IS SOOOO COOL!! if u ever see me plz say hi
i'm moving countries a week from today so really appreciated the chat about making friends! x
Sweetest Moya, I’ve been here for so long and I’ve watched you grow and gain the recognition that you deserve. you’re amazing and your videos continue to inspire me and i truly adore your wholesomeness and realness. Lots of love all the way from saudi. - Lulu
SWEET LULU u made my morning I hope u have a wonderful week xxxx
i’ve been waitching your youtube channel for months now, and i am always so excited when you post a new video! you’re such a lovely person, keep doing it moya🩷 sending a lot of love
omg thank u melissa !!!
Another beautiful vlog Moya ❤ I'm sorry that you felt weird during your trip, it's good that you shared your experience so more people are aware, you're definitely not complaining. The ditto remix was A VIBE ✨️
DITTTOOOOOO
Moya always exiting to see what you have been up to in Paris and I hope we can get to see you travel to South Korea sooooon, take care!
you inspire me to live life without expectations and limitations, being present in the everyday is the journey to fulfillment, thank you moya for capturing what so many of us feel but cannot articulate
:')))) thank you so so much!!!!!!!
i needed this so much!! I’m moving to Paris at the end of the year and I cant waittt
thank you so much for sharing the idea of an abundance mindset!!
You’re videos are always inspiring Moya. I’ve been in France for 3 years now and am definitely struggling on finding friends here, ever since moving here I have become socially awkward but seeing you get out and interact with everyone is always a motivation for me to do the same❤
awww yay!! honestly making the first step is always the hardest but soooo many of us are in the same boat here! I think there is a strong expat community and hope u find ur people soon!! xxx
I'm prolly one of the few straight guys that tune into the girlz vlogs loll ~ This side of youtube is just mad wholesome🍄i love paris + Moya's easy on the eyes
Love watching u thrive in Paris
literally get so excited every time you upload ahhh
awwww THANK U
after watching you for years wanting to start yt and be like you I FINALLY DID IT😭🤍ur my forever icon Moya
I feel the best "friend" pick up line is to compliment them on something you admire about them...either their personality or something physical like their outfit or makeup!

Love this🤍🤍 just made the move to Lyon for uni so appreciate the reassurance this video gives xx

YES, a few genuine & deep connections > tons of superficial & shallow connections. I have 3 solid friends and I love them with all my heart
Your channel is growing fairly quickly! Your vlogs are so beautiful in so many ways and I really enjoy watching. The only thing that would make it even better would be 2 videos a week! 🥰
awwww thank u!!!! dude I wish but I edit so slowly :;))
a kind of visual diary i wanna have 🌼 i've started vlogging bc of you and just capturing beautiful moments in my life that after 10 years i'll look back and remember the memories i've shared with the people close to my heart.
right same!
omggg saaame! I'm here to support girls ♥️

YAY I LOVE UUUUUU
@@moyamawhinney I LOVE U TOO BEST GIRL!!!!!!
Love this, thank you for posting such a nice video❤❤❤❤
💞💞
love always!!!
I wish to know where Moya gets her gorgeous tops 😩😩😍😍😍 always so fun and chique yet simple
You talking about making new friends was really great. I want to move to LA soon which isn't far from wehre I live now but I don't have a job that could sustain me. So im trying to make the most of still living in my hometown and the idea of making new friends is so hard
Thank you for this video! Perfect timing because I’m moving out in 2 months :)
Yay another upload 💕
lots of loveee
I love your video’s 😊
i’ve never been so early, hello!!
i love these videos! been a fan of these for over a year now and have never commented. i quit drinking almost 2 months ago and it was at a very transitional period of my life dealing with moving and alot of things really but also trying to keep my life at a tranquil state. it was pretty strange to see that you were also in a similar state in your last video being that i was also doing the same thing from figuring out interior designing of the home to quitting drinking and perfecting another language that is not your native language. keep up the videos and remember to keep the inner peace inside to be priority.
please make a food video with the best places to eat in Paris with cafes, restaurants and bakeries 🙏
love to see you thriving in paris🫶🏻 I personally felt super lonely in paris and really struggled to make friends, I lived there jan-march when it was cold & rainy all the time and feel like the weather has such a huge impact on it and everyone’s mood - I left feeling like it’s just not my city but might have to try again someday
Moya, thank you for this beautiful words, they were really needed❤️🍃
awww thank you!!!!
I love you so so much helped me since 2020 my big sister 🌷💐
MOYA STAY SAFE WITH THE RIOTSSS
i aspire to be like you; making friends so easily. im such an introvert 😭
Hey Moya, I went to Biarritz last year for the first time and really disliked the people there, who seemed very xenophobic, unwelcoming and racist towards Asians like myself and my family who I went with. Ruined my birthday holiday there, just wondering if you picked up similar vibes hence the lack of vlogging on your trip...
Wait why was the villa bad it looked beautiful! I was so confused when you put the little remark on the screen
hiii yes!! I commented about it above so will just copy it here :') - just not worth the money (have stayed in much nicer places for a fraction of the price!!), felt like we were intruding on the family/people who live there and also one of the rooms we stayed in was dirty and lowkey haunted vibes hahaha - I just would not personally recommend and was not a relaxing stay ... I think our expectations were so high from seeing it online so maybe if you go in with this knowledge or you are happy to spend the money it would be better :// hope this helps!
Hi! I am moving to Paris soon and I have been living in London for the past five years. I would love it if you could make a video comparing your experiences in terms of friends, school/work, the living standards (accessibility, prices, access to health, walkability (idk if it's a word lol), and dating. I am French but most of my friends are also in Ldn, but my sister and some friends of mine live in Paris, so I am wondering what my experience could be like and if you had any tip :)
ooooo maybe!! I feel like im so pro paris right now that it might not be a fair judgement hahaa but wishing you all the best for your move!! I will say the biggest Paris pros for me has been the walkability (hehe), lower prices (still expensive but not as bad as london omfg) and work / life balance xx
Yayyyyyyy!!
Moya I am so happy for you that you enjoy Paris with friends 🫶🏻🤩
your vid’s get me through omg
sending loveeee :'))))
omg no way i got here when it was posted only a minute ago
Moya ! I go to a weekly spoken word night in Paris that's for English speakers and they have the warmest, most lovely vibes - there's a couple around and you should definitely check them out x
omg thats so cool!!! yes lmk hehehe
@@moyamawhinney there's one, spoken word paris, at la cave cafe and another called paris lit up at culture rapid!
you are very brave ❤
France is burning 🥵
your videos are my favorite
you should really try chef thai that is just next to shifu... best pad thai I've had in Paris!!
omg will do hehehe
Norwegian wood is the first book that made me ball my fucking eyes out like a baby. I reread it from time to time and never fail to cry.
so true babe
hoping i could visit the south of france in the future
VERY NICE VIDEO MOYA ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤💯💋💋💋💋CIAO BELLA ❣
murakami !!! libro que lleva en su nombre tema de THE BEATLES
Do you happen to have a link to any song playlists you've made on CZcams or Spotify? I really enjoy many of the songs you overlay on your videos 🫶
I feel you Moya. I moved from Argentina to Spain (similar culture and same language) and now I moved to Austria and all you said in this video it's totally true. I can't agree more. By the way, what camera is the one you use for film? (the small one). Thank you Moya!!!
Same!! I would love to know because I struggle filming with my camera or phone in certain public spaces and would love to be able to! By the way, buena suerte en Austria!! :) I'm a Spanish who moved to the UK. Love to see so many people moving abroad
hey!! loved the video, as always!! was just wondering what wide lens camera you use? loved the visuals :))
omg moya I think you forgot to edit your subs count ! a few more than 5k of us are subscribed x love the video as always
hey moya! i'm really curious about villa magan, it's been on my wishlist for quiet a while since it just seems to have such a beautiful decor and vibe, i really like the basque country and was planning on going there next time, would you mind sharing your experience as to why it was a bit off ? thanks xxx (also i've been living in paris for 6 years would love to bump into you oneday!)
hiii yes!! I commented about it above so will just copy it here :') but hope to see u soon!!! if u ever see me plz say hi
I’m a straight 20 year old who loves your videos 😂
omg hahaha
Hello Moya. I wanted to know what camera do you use to film your videos? You inspire me to take little videos of each moment and it would be really nice to know about that. Thank youu!!💕
Ohh Moya, where is that brown top from you had on to the festival? 💓
