    This was my favorite video you've ever uploaded. Thank you for sharing a piece of your culture and family history with us! I've been watching you for five years and I'm always impressed by the content you create. In this video, it was clear how much time you spent putting everything together, and all the moments you captured felt so intentional and real. ❤

    💛💛💛💛💛 This vlog is so good. So informative. So diverse. I'm talking family time, fashion, Food, business, music, culture. Everything! The looks were serving. No crumbs were left. The part where your mom was talking about singing off key sent me to another universe 🤣! Such a great summary of what seems like an amazing trip.

    I can totally relate to being surpirsed by the community orientedness in other countries. When i visit the philippines i am always so grateful for my extended family whom i either just met or havent seen in many years willing to really care for us on our trip. First time i was in the philippines in a long time my uncle picked me up from the airport and drove 8 hours! And then 8 hours back to my sick grandma who i was visiting. The hospitality of strangers or long lost family members/friends is an amazing beautiful thing im so grateful for. It does inspire me to act that way towards my friends in my day to day life!

    As a Stockholm resident I couldn't stop thinking about how you Eras tour tourists got so incredibly lucky with the weather! You really got the best possible Stockholm experience. Sunny, warm and lively. Hope you enjoyed the trip. It's a very beautiful city when it wants to be.
    regarding the winter question: It gets really depressing but we cope by creating our own light. We have this big christmas tradition of putting a lot of christmas lights in our apartment windows from like early december all the way to january. So if you walk around town on a dark december afternoon you'll see all these stars and candles and other kinds of lights in every window. It doesn't replace the sun but it at least adds a nice ambience in the otherwise gloomy time of the year

    This was so heartwarming and culturally relatable to watch, I can definitely relate to living with the differences between an individualistic and collectivist culture and community caring, as I'm east African born in London. So happy for you that you got to have an insight into your dad's upbringing wish that for myself some day! 💕

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před měsícem +1

      Thank you! And yes - the culture is just very different

    Hi Natalie - thoroughly enjoyed this vlog! Thank you for bringing us along. What a wonderful tradition your family has of going on vacation every year together (taking note that I too would love to do this one day with my husband and kids [when they come]). I’m glad you got to experience Romania and connect with your father’s roots - what a treat! I imagine it made it all that much sweeter to experience it along him. Oh and your reunion with your beloved nanny - had me tearing up! So heartwarming!
    P.S. El Catrin in Geneva, Switzerland has amazing Mexican food!

    We actually had really good Mexican food in Budapest! I was soooo excited when we found it because at the time I had been visiting Romania for 2 months (my parents are also from Romania) and was craving something other than Romanian food! I’m used to the US where we have all the cuisines so eating the same thing for 2 months was rough.

    As someone who comes from a huge family, the fact you all went on a trip that’s awesome! It’s very hard to travel together when your family hits like 10+ people so watching this reminds me when my family was a family of 8 and trying to travel

  • @alicekmam

    Agreed with your comments about immigrant parents having a different POV about life! and yes, that's passed down to us, through stories and seeing their realities especially as I'm getting older... i have started to understand my parents more and more. Thankyou for sharing with us this special experience! I hope we get to see your moms side of Honduras one day too :)

    • @NatalieBarbu

      I used to go every summer! I’ll most likely be back this summer for a bit too :)

    Couldn't agree more with your sentiments about understanding your dad better after visiting his country. I went back to Nigeria recently with my dad (he’s from there) and I felt the same

    LOVE this video Natalie! Crying when you spoke about your dad. Thank you for sharing,it was so special.
    I've traveled through most of Romania and it is a beautiful country. It has a dark past and the people had alot to overcome, that is why they are kind.
    Please go back and visit Bucharest, it is little Paris, I think you will like it. ❤❤

    Hi Natalie, thank you for mentioning the sense of community people tend to have in European countries. Many immigrants find it very difficult to establish relationships of any kind with Americans. Americans are kind and welcoming to strangers but, unfortunately, it is hard to forge deep relationships with them.

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před měsícem +1

      Thanks for sharing! I can totally see how that’s the case of relationships too.

  • @katsiano
    @katsiano Před 24 dny +1

    So happy you enjoyed your time here! I would just make a small clarification - you said Stockholm has less than 1 million people but that's in Stockholm city proper, in the Stockholm metro area (stockholm county) there's around 2.4 million people :)
    regarding winter, a lot of people struggle with seasonal depression. i make sure to load up on vitamin d as a non-native swede, but my very swedish partner (he's half swedish half finnish) has never had any issues with vitamin d deficiency and doesn't have any issues with the darkness haha. the biggest tip is usually to find a winter hobby to give you something to look forward to in the winter, but swedes really do seem to emerge from hibernation in the spring/summer and try and soak up as much sun as possible!

  • @LinneaElviraJ
    @LinneaElviraJ Před měsícem

    Welcome to Sweden! And welcome back in the future 😍 I'm so shocked that about 70% were sitting down where you stood, I was at the tour all three Sweden-nights and everyone around me stood for the most part of the nights and danced and sang their hearts out, crazy 🤯

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před měsícem

      I think it must have been my section because the stadium was loud!! But my section was not as into it😂

    • @vahdetahodzic
      @vahdetahodzic Před měsícem

      Im going to the eras tour alone in Vienna and Im so so afraid that my section will be sitting... what should I do then, have fun or sit with them 😅

    I enjoyed you singing out loud with your sister at the concert :). Great traveling adventures and video. Wondering when you went to Romania and said it's definitely different than what you were expecting -how so.

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před 29 dny

      Thank you so much! I’m not exactly sure how different - it just was not exactly what I was picturing!

    the working to live vs living to work is soooo true. i grew up in silicon valley and live in amsterdam now and the difference is really stark. vienna is my fav city in europe, it's so underrated tbh! and you're so right about the mexican food in europe, i've tried to find good mexican in every european city i've been to and its very lackluster lol

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před měsícem

      I wish I had more time in Vienna to really see what it was like! And yes people just have such better work life balance

    • @erik....
      @erik.... Před 29 dny

      Stockholm has like 3 or 4 good really good mexican restaurants with the most amazing birria tacos you can find.

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před 29 dny

      I missed them :( I love Birria tacos

  • @ellataylor1957
    @ellataylor1957 Před 29 dny

    Swedish meatballs are served with lingonberry, not cranberry!
    Also winters are not as great as the summers but the key is to just book in nice activities (fika, dinners, exhibit visits, runs) to make life fun.
    Glad that you enjoyed your trip and thanks for sharing!❤

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před 29 dny

      Oh lol I thought they were cranberries 😂

      @movewithbailey Před měsícem

      also I watch your vids while I"m eating so I'm finishing this one rn and not me almost crying when you're talking ab seeing where your dad came from compared to now. i went to the "villages" / countryside of Bosnia and Croatia when I was 13 with my dad to see where my grandparents and aunts/ uncles were from and we had extended family who I had never met before greet us with the same generosity (and my dad was even born in the US), and it was so eye opening + the slow living made a huge impact on me. you'll remember this trip forever!! glad you're documenting it

    Who wants to eat Mexican when you’re on a European trip 🤔🤔 taste what that country/city has to offer.

    • @NatalieBarbu
      @NatalieBarbu  Před měsícem +1

      I did try what the country has to offer but sorry I get tired of it after a little while. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • @realjx313
    @realjx313 Před měsícem +1

    Go abroad for a few years as right now you don't really understand anything.
    As for communist times in Romania, economic hardship is just economic hardship but what actually mattered , what was fundamentally different , was the fear of authority - you can't understand it, unless you have lived in such a system. And BTW, from an economic point of view, the 60s were good, the 70s were ok, the 80s were bad and late 80s terrible.
    Oh and the US and opportunities thingy, is just PR and a lie.
