- Welcome to Lahore! In this travel vlog, I venture out on my own - as a solo female traveler - to explore this city, all through the lens of Couchsurfing. 🇵🇰✨
Thank you, your support means the world 💛
🌟 Journey Highlights:
*Couchsurfing Experience: Discover the beauty of Pakistani hospitality as I share snippets of my stay with amazing locals, showing the generosity and kindness that makes Lahore so special.
*Vegetarian Food Tour: My Couchsurfing host takes me out on a vegetarian food tour, trying out all kinds of Pakistani local delicacies.
*Exploring Old Lahore: I explore the Walled City of Lahore, including the Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, Delhi Gate, and the Wazir Khan Mosque. Join me as I wander through Lahore’s vibrant streets.
*Exploring Modern Lahore: Witness the modern side of Lahore, with visits to coffee shops and beautiful parks.
🌞 About Me:
I'm Flora, a female adventurer passionate about hiking, nature, and exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations. My goal is to show what it's truly like to travel in Pakistan - specifically as a female foreigner - and show that it isn’t like what Western media portrays it to be.

Thanks for exploring a positive side of our beautiful country ❤️
@@user-jo4qp8wm6q you keep on thinking 🤔😉
You are very friendly people bro
As an indian Muslims i share a lot of gratitudes king 😮
The teacher with his message about the country was my favorite part of the video! I am going to Pakistan next week and cannot wait to talk to some of the locals and experience the culture!
Don't come now, Its summer and temperature used to be above 40 Celsius in central and southern Pakistan. Yes, if you want to enjoy only Northern areas then its a good time. By the way October and November are the best months to visit whole Pakistan. Cordially Welcome to My Pakistan ❤❤🇵🇰🌹
@@dr.saifuddin7096 I just came back last week. The people, landscape and the Pakistani hospitality are unmatched! It was EXTREMELY hot in Lahore but the locals took good care of me :)
@@LukaszGraniczek 😊😊
Things that makes your vlogs different than others;
You put an artistic effort to your vlogs.
Just as they do in documentaries you put that pinch of histories of a place.
You show the way you feel which is so real of being exposed to different cultures.
It's not just doing a commentary on your vlogs it's like being there present with no cameras and just expressing the way you feel , feels like you are unaware of being filmed.
It reminds me when my father's cousin who used to work in Swedin married a Swedish lady. When they used to come here in Pakistan for weddings or something, we would be so excited to meet and see his wife like literally everytime 😂😂 we were kids. I remember one time my cousin was like "I want to take picture with her" And we literally followed her the entire wedding to ask her for a picture but we were shy and couldn't do so. Well at last, my sister went and finally asked her to take a selfie with her😭😭😂 idk why we used to be so excited and curious.
memories ❤
I don't think Lahore has ever been depicted so nicely as it is in this video
Both the classical and modern nature of Lahore
I've also been to Lahore, it's such an amazing city full of culture!
And really enjoyed your video again, you're such a great story teller, so far I enjoyed every single one of your videos🤗
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you so much! 🙏
@@floragonning❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@floragonning💜🌹💜 EIFFEL TOWER & TRAFALGER SQUARE IN BAHRIA TOWN LAHORE VISIT 👈
I don't know you're just different than other vloggers. The way you portray things, explain them into words, show the beauty of the place wherever you go. You just bring the vibe with you.
Love from Nepal. ❤
Hope you'll be here someday as well.
Can’t wait to go back to nepal and do some epic hikes!!
Love Pakistan from Iran ❤️🇮🇷🇵🇰
The teacher was so cute. What a wholesome spiel 🥹💕🙏🏽
Beautiful dynamic footage of a wonderful country. I love your way of filming. It's not boring but exciting. 🙏
Thanks for showing the real beauty of Pakistan 💓
That's teacher 🖤 Hats off to him
Such a legend!
I really admire how your blog dives into interacting with people and understanding their unique cultures. It's such a great approach! I'd love to see even more depth in these interactions, learning about their day-to-day lives and how things work in their environment.
Those chats with locals don't just spice up your travel experiences; they add a whole new exciting layer to your content! Engaging with them not only energizes your adventures but also helps in breaking any barriers when meeting new people.
And oh, I must say, the way you seamlessly blend into different cultures is amazing! Your knack for adopting local customs and dressing the part is really admirable. These little touches make you fit right in and truly experience the culture. Keep up the fantastic work-it's these genuine gestures that make your journey so captivating and relatable!
Greetings from Pakistan. Amazing vlog! The quality of your vlogs has reached a stage where we have to eagerly wait for the next episode to be posted / uploaded. Brilliant stuff indeed and the articulation of words is out of this world. I hope this journey comprising of Pakistani episodes never ends. Best wishes for the channel. With warm regards.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! 🙏✨
Your grace despite uncomfortable experiences is commendable! A lot of the locals are just very happy to see foreigners in the area, and I’d like to believe there is no malice associated with it. Thank you for visiting and portraying a very honest opinion of our country!
Also visit some of the top Shopping Malls in Lahore · 1. Emporium Mall · 2. Packages Mall · 3. Fortress Stadium · 4. Amanah Mall · 5. The Mall of Lahore.
The Way you collect footages and classical, cinematic Shorts is very impressive. Also i like your way of editing and story telling.
Thank you so much! ✨ Haha the blue dress is actually from Packages mall! I love the malls in Lahore, they’re amazing; wish I could’ve filmed some of it
I have seen a bunch of people making Vlogs but your way of Vlogging is just beyond. From your videos i can see how much effort you put in making of your videos. You are really very impressive❤
Thank you so much, I appreciate you noticing 🫶🙏✨
@@floragonning❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love you from India
Amazing city with so much history.... Glad you be able to cover Lahore
Thanks for showing the positive aspect of Pakistan. Means the world to us.
Your vlogs are so soothing to watch. Love your editing style and storytelling.
Thank you! 🙏✨
I get so emotion watching vlogs on my native city while Living abroad…. Love my Pakistan …
Thanks for showing me my city again ❤❤
Absolutely loved the way you highlight Lahore's diversity! Your storytelling beautifully captured my city's unique cultures and traditions. But I feel you just barely scratched the surface, or maybe I just want more Lahore videos 😅
PS: Feels like you are missing a lot on the food side by just sticking to vegetarian options, but if you must and seeing as you like Dahl, try Mian G Restaurant's special Dahl prepared in Desi Ghee, it would be the best dahl that you have had till date 💯
Leuk dat je zo open staat om Lahore te bezoeken! Ik ga er dit jaar ook naar toe!
Zindabad Pakistan ! Awesome travel vlog. Honest and compelling ethics of ocial interacting.
Your story telling and editing it’s soo cinematic and beautiful ❤
Thank you for visiting and showing the real picture of pakistan. Truly you're doing a great job and going to have millions of subscribers in future😃.
Best wishes 👍👍
Beautiful vlog. I have massive appreciation for your patience.
I love your video - the way you edit it as well as your insights! Thanks for offering your pov😊 I'm visiting Pakistan soon so your video makes me feel a tad bit more excited!!
Flora, really enjoyed your journey tours throughout Pakistan - well done for showing the various cultures from my TV living room. Thank you 😊
great seeing you showcasing the true Lahore and Pakistan.
Next time go for the traditional lahori breakfast they are yum 😋
Wonderful footage of Lahore; all of your videos on Pakistan have put my mind at ease to visit this beautiful country in 2024. Keep up all the wonderful work you do, it is immensely appreciated.
Just loved the way I experienced the vlog as I myself am going through all that experience. You are such a beautiful girl with beautiful mind too.
I love the artistic touch and background music you add. It gives richness and uniqueness to your travel vlogs.
Your way of storytelling bounds people to watch till end 😊 Good job 🎉
Never been to Lahore but this video tempting me to visit Lahore such a wonderful video
Thank you very much for showing positive face of my country and people God bless you ❤
Love the way you are,, and some poetic kinda vibe from you i can feel it,,
It was a nice to see you exploring the hospitality of Pakistan people
I teared up listening to the teacher. I am very aware about the misconceptions other countries could have and when you realise the warmth of the people in Pakistan it just instantly makes you want to go and discover this place. Thank you
Recently took a tour of old Lahore, it was so culturally enriching. So many stories each story worth making a movie about
I love your storytelling.. felt like i am with you enjoying the wonder of the place.
Nice to see u in Pakistan and your v log is fantastic full with cultural n historical seen. U see how well coming people are stay blessed flora ❤
Your vlogs are some of the best, I've seen ever made in Pakistan!
I love the way you express your feelings while you’re discovering these amazing places. There’s always positivity in all aspects.
Lahore is in more than in my bucket list, it’s a dream for me to go there one day.
The more I learn about Pakistan, the more I want to visit it. It’s such an underrated country with a unique culture and the kindest and most generous people I’ve ever met.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous journeys.
Born in UK but lived in Lahore for a long time. Not been back for over 20 years.
So jealous....
Miss the food.
I hope you enjoyed your time. Good luck
Flora! your hard work and dedication truly shine, turning everyday moments into extraordinary content with passion and commitment that's impossible to ignore 🖤
Yup, you are right! Usually, locals don’t see foreigners visiting pakistan. That is why they ask for picture when they see foreigners. 😂❤️🇵🇰
Feel like a pure cenima great editing and showing us the true Pakistan perception
Loved every second of the video. You captured the beauty and culture of Lahore very splendidly and seeing that this is just the start of your travel logs channel, I'd say it's really top-notch content.
It's amazing that you're loving the life and enjoying your time here but I would still request you to be alert to your surroundings. You can say no to whoever you want whether it's for taking pictures or a small chat. Just trust your guts and don't make yourself uncomfortable. Much love.
I think there is a lot of positive to learn about Pakistan, but we have only been learned about the negative sides.
@@MinaMKorsvoll I won't deny that there are negatives of course. It's just that the Western media have exaggerated them so much that as soon as people hear Pakistan's name, they think of barren deserts with bomb wrecks all around lol. Pakistan is blessed with tourism spots and with little effort by leadership of the country, it can be one of the top places for tourists.
@@mohammadadnan5988 Pakistan is not worse than the rest of the world, and you are absolutely right. You have beautiful nature, as we also have in Norway.
Your storytelling abilities are just second to none!! Everybody needs to learn from your vlogging skills and English expressions you use to describe your thoughts. Awesome....❤
I really appreciate your work. you are true ambassador of Pakistan beauty hope you will show more areas of Pakistan to world🥰🥰💞
Nicely depicted and narrated. Welcome to our country and do plan to visit some other cities of punjab like Sialkot , a city famous for its sports, surgical and other industrial goods.
Your way of making videos and telling stories are Netflix worthy🙌
I watch Vlogs of many people but i wait only for your videos.
I have seen bunch of people making vloge but your way of vlogging is beyond from your Vlog.i can see how much effort you put in making videos.
And now am waiting for your next Vlog ❤❤❤
Your videos warm my heart. As an American we do not see much positivity in our media. Thank you for showing me the beauty and warmth of Pakistan, I hope to visit someday.
Thanks for showing beauty of Lahore.Love from Lahore.My family also have a warm welcome for your future visit.I am software engineer by professional but your filming ,story telling style is encouriging me to do vlogging .Hopefully I will start vlogs as hobby for part time.Thanks again and have a lot of love .
Humbled by the way you adopted our culture ☺️i hope you have good time here,Thank you for visiting ❤

They don't want picture because you are foreigner but because in Pakistan you're a celebrity.
If anyone wants to be celebrity, Habibi come to Pakistan.

This was Amazing.❤
you are not only foreigner now but also a celebrity thats why people are attracted to take a picture with you ..stay blessed stay happy and enjoy your moments
Me encantó este video.Pensaba q Pakistán es un país muy atrasado cultural y socialmente..pero veo q no es así! Tb la gente es muy simpática y amable.No veo que insulten o discriminen a esta muchacha por no cubrirse la cabeza en espacios públicos.
Realmente veo mucha normalidad y civilización!Nadie está persiguiendo a nadie ni la Sharía anda molestando y acosando mujeres !Además veo tb qué es un país moderno! Qué bueno...estoy aliviada! Me encantará visitar este país con mis hijos! Magnífico video! Gracias por compartirlo.Saludos y bendiciones al pueblo paquistaní desde München ❤
