which camera and light do u use?
which camera and light do u use? kindly reply.
For the luggage, an important one is also to take a picture of it, my luggage got lost, at that time I didn't speak English well, having a picture of my luggage on my phone saved me that day! I could never have described it without that picture. They found it 10 days after 😅
That is such good advice!!!
I love those behind-the-scenes shots, also great video, thank you, Lucy 💕
🥰😂
The third one is super creepy... ok, I understand hitting on someone when they’re awake, but kissing someone who you’re not together with, while they’re asleep... that’s just a whole new level of creepy...
I have a great travel advices:
1. you should have with you when you're travelling a powerwall set of adapters !
2. have a metalic case for 5 cards (cred cards, debit cards, you name it) with rfid blockage.
It really pisses me off that young women cannot travel anywhere alone without constantly looking over their shoulders for sexual predators. FFS why can't people just leave them alone and allow them to live and enjoy their lives without the constant fear that someone may try to take sexual advantage of them!! Oh, and surprise surprise; I am male and I have every sympathy with the ladies!
Потому что в мире полно идиотов. Для мужчин они тоже опасны
I remember someone had the exact same suitcase as me and I picked theirs, they picked up mine. Didn't realise until I got to the hotel and opened it, luckily I went back to the airport and they were still there so I got it back
Van der Eneste u r very bletchy
I'm sorry for your experience with that man. He was really invading your privacy... This is sexual abuse. I'm really sorry, Lucy.
The ending is hilarious. I just love this lovely lady. Lucy is like the sister or best friend you wish you had.
"Go away! I love you! Bye-bye!" - Hum, somehow sounds like my life...
You are such a cool person. Really well-spoken and classy. Remind me of a wonderful English actress ❤️
Travelling is life 🌸
Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice with us Lucy. I am so in love with your accent and your super smooth voice 😍
whatever topics, I'm really into them! Thank you for sharing these mistakes we should avoid! I'm waiting for more videos and vlogs!
I think the story of the guy kissing you in your sleep is horrible. Even a kiss is a physical attack when you did not accept getting it...
Glad you agree! Still
Makes me shudder to this day!
Yes. Absolutely. You are right. Lucy being so humble is talking like its her fault. Its not. She is such a sweetheart and very very friendly . Sometimes guys takes being friendly as a sign for love or attraction.
An interesting thing is that we see a not invited kiss as an assault, which I agree, because is abusive. But some Disney princesses have been woken up with a kiss from a total stranger, even if princes and we still see that as romantic. How is that?
@@mariastefanian926 yeah, maybe that guy watched to many Dieney Movies ;)
I can totally relate to this feeling and situation unfortunately.
I went to visit a befriended family when I was 15.
Even though I went there often with my family, it felt uncomfortable to be there alone and stay for a week because I noticed that the guy (this story is about) was looking at me in a very unpleasant way. But I didn't mind as my family trusted him (he was 34 I think) and I did too. The problem was also that his kids went to a school trip and his wife has stayed at her sister's home since day 4 so nobody could see that coming.
I even had a room for me so I didn't feel any danger coming up.
But on the fourth night his housekeeper went grocery shopping without taking me as I slept in too long. And when I woke up I saw him millimetres away from me and I was panicked and stunned as I couldn't think, move, do anything. He misused this moment, raped me several times and left me there.
I remember well that I couldn't cry and I couldn't tell anyone that. It literally took me 5 years to tell my parents and my best friend about this incident.
My family realized that there was some problem and it led to no contact with them in future. But every time they asked me about what happened there I couldn't talk. It was hurtful.
Even though you might know people, don't ever trust them. I can talk now about this freely without bursting into tears but this took me a lot of time, literally 5 years to tell somebody and again about 3 years to talk normally about it.
Keep you guys safe, trust your gut, even if everybody says that this environment is safe for you.
Lovely blue color, Lucy! And a great lesson as always 👍 Special thanks for your "emergency bottle of wine" advice. Liked it a lot 😁😁😁❤❤
Thank you, that’ll help me so much in the future♥️ Thank you Lucyyyy
I like to see the bloopers and I repeat it again and again and again, How cute you are, What a lovely couple
Thank you Ms. Lucy for this significant info. that you've share to us. I learn so much from this video of yours.
thanks Lucy you are the best teacher in every way
So helpful, thank you, Lucy.
Thank you for this 24 minutes listening session.
Hysterical! I watched until the end…. Love you two love/birds!
Very useful video.. thanks for your advices 👍🏻
Thanks for your precious information Dear, I really appreciate that! 🥰🙏🏻 💕
Thanks, Lucy!
you're welcome!
Thank-you for the video!
So MANY great recommendations!!! So sorry you had an unwanted experience while traveling. I remember I specifically paid for single rooms while traveling for that fear.
I had an experience on the train from Genoa to Milan. It was a very threatening experience where my friend and I thought we may end up getting attacked. I literally changed from my long dress into jeans, flannel, hiking boots, hat and pretended to be a guy so it did not look like two women alone in a train car. One of the guys started to come into our cabin and then his friend grabbed him and took him away. Later at the Milan station he saw we were in fact both women and his face became so angry and twisted. We were so glad to have thwarted what could have been a terrible trip!
" Take risks but don't trust people too much" This is what I needed such a positive veb Lucy .it means a lot
Everyone's there for a gd tym not a long time.🙏🙏 valuable words❤️
I'm leaving for Dublin in two weeks, so thank you so much for your video ! Really helpfull ! Xoxo
This was a really nice video, good to get your insight
Number 3 - the same thing happened to me with a friend (not while travelling). He was doing more than kissing. Violated is the word!
My bank blocked my card 7 times in 7 countries in a row despite telling them each time! As soon as I stopped informing them, it was fine!
I think the last part was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. I literally couldn't stop laughing. You guys looks so lovely.
Unfortunately Lucy, when I was younger I did a lot of similar mistakes but it was really supportive to understand that you are not alone in it. The best phrase you have said was "believe your instincts". I'd say I'll take it into consideration next time. 🤗
I love the ending
I didn't expect you to be such a daring explorer )
Her kid's going to clubs with random girls is one of the worst nightmares of any caring mother, I think.
Totally agree about emergency money and not only when you're travelling.
Surely you don't have to feel sorry about that kiss. If you had been asleep, there is no way to blame yourself. Noone can flirt asleep, that's obvious.
Love from Ukraine. )
Great video lovely Lucy!!! 👍 I always print a physical copy of my ticket!
#1 That's the reason why I print the bording card too after I downloaded it to my iPod touch.
Pessimistic as I am, I was expecting several "It's just a kiss, don't make a fuzz!" comments. Glad I haven't found a single one so far. If it stays that way, I have to say, that you either have the best audience ever, Lucy, or times are truly about to change in that regard. Good news either way. :-)
Hello Lucy, love the way you smile! Keep me updated soon😍
Thank you for the lesson and useful pieces of advice - as amazing as the colour of your dress. (I would like to have this colour dress)
7:04-11:20 I agree with Lucy about heeding that instinctive feeling. I will support and back up Lucy regarding this topic, as I add to Lucy’s advice about fallowing instincts, I invite all who read this comment to ponder and consider this fact: The feeling Lucy experienced is greater than an instinct; she felt the power of the Holy Ghost warning her in a still small voice that the man had been plotting ill intentions to take advantage of her. The Holy Ghost warned her about the dangers the man was plotting, and Lucy would have been safe to heed that instinctive prompting. To summarize, when you sense that feeling in your bosom and receive ideas, heed it, and head to safety, also if you feel an impression to do something good for someone else, this is the Holy Ghost communicating in a still small voice in the form of thoughts and feelings that the things you should do are the right thing. Trust that feeling.
Eyeliner Tutorial pls 😍☝🏼
You are wonderful, Lucy! I feel so sorry for your Berlin-experience 😆🥺
Lots of love from Germany💁🏼♀️💕
Oh I love your vide You always make me. You have Amazing as always...!!
Hello Lucy!! Greetings from Greece ❤️
the ending was super funny😂
Thank you
For easy retrieval, the simple solution is to tie some eye catching or colourful ribbons to the handles of your luggage or buy luggage covers. Make sure you get the right dimensions.
Do make sure you've got your phone with you wherever you go. It's actually a little bit funny but my aunt needed to go for a pee, she said sth to the driver but either he didn't hear her properly or forgot about it, I'm not sure. My aunt did her thing, then she saw that the bus wasn't there! It was dark, in the middle of nowhere and luckily she got her phone so she could call her friends (friends who were with her on that trip but who were fast asleep at that time :>). The bus turned around and all was well :) But she was quite scared when she realized the bus left! Sorry for any mistakes, I'm still learning tenses :) Ps. I love the ending of this video 😁
Your video is very informative
Thanks
ahaha the end is so funny😂
Two days ago youtube suggested me your video on English with Lucy and now baduuums I am watching your vlog. You are really so pleasant and cute and your pronunciation and is euphonious😍😍😍. Thank you so much for content (I am not sure which channel is more useful to my English😅)
Thank you a lot for influencing lessons
It's one of my dreams to get a heart from Lucy!! And a reply would be a cherry on top
🍒
From experience
Your hair- so stunning
I feel you Lucy 😕 When I stayed for a couple of nights in hostel, I had such a terrible memory from one night because one guy tried to rape me when I was asleep... so yeah I know how it does feel 😕
Arrrrgh god. I am so so so sorry that this happened to you, my heart rate just increased reading this. You must have been petrified. Sending all of my love xx
Lucy Bella Earl thank you so much ❤️
Love the word "kaput" it is the cognate of the German word "kaputt". Also they mean the same thing :D
Over packing... my friend and I had to purchase 2 new cases as we over enjoyed the shopping in New York and Vancouver...
the end is totally the best
Thanks for sharing with us your travelling experience and the kind reminders if untoward happened. We really appreciate it and grateful for everything. I do love the last part when we saw your fiancee.....💖👍😊
Lucy, please, make a video of how you do your make up ❤️
"just fuck off now" hahahahah sorry I know you were probably genuinely annoyed in that moment but it was hilarious 😂😂
Great and useful btw :)
Beautiful!
I love your personal channel
Thanks for the video. You and Will are so cute at the end :)
Oh, Lucy, I'm very sorry for what happened to you! I think many of us girls -if not all, can relate with that mix of feelings. Please, don't blame yourself. He clearly had an agenda, he put you in that situation and knew he was doing wrong, otherwise wouldn't have waited until you were asleep. God, I'm so enraged.
I know I'm few months late to comment on this but I have a good tip. As someone who has took many risks traveling at a young age I recommend you to have a silent alarm. That is someone who is going to know who you are with and where you're going to be at all times. It can be a friend that is travelling with you or someone back at home. Send to your silent alarm friend a group picture of the people you're going out and all the details you know about what you're going to do. This person should know EVERYTHING, so choose someone you trust. you and your chosen silent alarm should be in touch from time to time during the night and always check on each other the next morning. If something happens to you (fingers crossed it doesn't) your friend can talk to someone for help.
It is so sad we have to do this when we go out, but personally, I felt much safer when I went out abroad or having dates when I was single.
Hope it helps.
I remember when I was in the ninth grade I had once gone on a vacation with my family. There was this guy on the train who kept staring at me the whole time. I was really uncomfortable but I didn't say anything to anyone. We arrived the destination and I thought that I'd be free and relaxed. So happily, we went to the beach and I was totally horrified seeing that guy again. I remember we stayed there for 2 days and I saw that person both the days. I wish I could go back in the past and scold myself for being such a coward. The day we'd to return, I actually hoped that I'd never see him again. However,I was wrong. He was there again. I remember that at a particular station, the train halted and he stood outside my window seat and tried clicking my picture but I turned away. After that,we arrived home and I've never seen him again.I regret not telling anyone about it and would like to ask everyone to NOT BE SCARED and speak out. It's been more than five years now but it still makes me regret and horrified at the thought of what could have happened. Also.. PLEASE TRUST YOUR GUT FEELINGS as Lucy said. Stay safe!
Hey Lucy! Like your genuine and natural style. Weird suggestion: Considering you're funny (in a good way of course) It would be fun (and funny) if you made a video about everyday-like situations. Kind of your own Lucy version of Michael McIntyre. Very easy to make such a suggestion...I know but if you did I'm sure I'd be funny. It could be like a list of ten " silly things I do". Anyway, you have a fun personality and thank you for sharing.
N° 9 absolutely right.
Nice video thank uo for sharing us ur travelling experience 💗💗 but too much ads in between 😣
Thank you for sharing this, but could I consult that how would you deal with jet lag? Because sometimes I need to travel over multiple time zones (like from the UK to Japan), and this made me dizzy and feel sick.
Greetings from L.A.!
In the end, it was very funny teacher because of Mr. William😆
Love you ❤
Hi Lucy. When I was young, I used to read Blyton's ‘Secret Seven' and ‘Adventure' novel series. I believed it would come to my use someday, but would it?
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this. :) I am so sorry for what happened to you (referring to no. 3) :(
You pronounced "Schönefeld" the right way. :) Unfortunately people in Berlin & Brandenburg (that's the county Wünsdorf is located.) happen to be shy or unfriendly against strangers. I live in Potsdam (also Brandenburg) and a lot of tourists come here. For example, the bus drivers cannot speak English fluently and therefore cannot help non-native speakers. Sometimes I feel really ashamed by them being so unfriendly to tourists. :( Sorry you were treated like this when you have been stranded in Wünsdorf. :O
I love the ending! :D
Love😍😍😍 lucy. I am from vietnam😊
Actually I like Schönefeld airport much more than Tegel airport. :D And I think it is better connected to the city... :)
That's exactly what I thought
The kiss kind of reminds me of Thomas from Downton Abbey kissing Jimmy in his sleep who was really disgusted afterwards but out of different reasons.
I feel sorry for you though, Lucy no one should be kissed in their sleep or in general by a person they don't want to be kissed by, it is already assault.
Speaking of Downton Abbey I recently saw an actress from Downton, Sophie McShera, narrated a book for Audible which is often your sponsor. I don't recall what the book is called but it's a psychological thriller.
Your hair is gorgeous girl😍😍🤩😘i love it
My airport has charging stations in transit!
That happened to me when I went to a club with my boyfriend's sister.i trusted her and didn't think she would leave at the club on my own I genuinely thought that she had gone to the ladies but she disappeared with some guy she had met.that was a horrible experience but having said that at least this happened here and not aboard which would of been ten times worst!
Hi Lucy, I'm Wendy from Singapore. I love the English language and I love your personality!
You were looking for a way to express that terrible situation. Would it be right to say, 'That man insulted your modesty'?
Home tour and your eye makeup video please 🌺
the ending :D
Weren't there any plugs at the airport you landed in to charge the battery?
Hello again my fav... I've missed you😊
No. 7: my BF is using it for chilli powder :D - Overall - I was a flight attendant travelling around the whole globe and I was usually walking alone. Nothing bad ever happened to me, but you have to trust your instict (as Lucy said) and you should be always 1. sober :), 2. open-minded and 3. alert, at least. Knock on the wood, so far, except of some taxi drivers trying to cheat you in Bangkok and few unpleasant meetings with drunken homeless people in Seattle, nothing happened! (Please, feel free to correct my English, I'll appreciate it :))
Heyyyy Lucy, where are you? Please come back!! Missed you so much
I always strap a fuchsia thread to my black suitcase, it never fails
I got stranded in Germany on a Sunday because they stopped running the bus service at 6 PM and I failed to realize that. My fault for not being able to translate properly, it was printed on the schedule. I had to take a taxi to where I was going because there was no other way to get there, besides walking.
thank you Lucy Bella for that Video! I'm planning to travel alone so this helps me. I always searching for tipps for travelling solo. Do you have tipps for people who want to take a airplane for the first time? I never was on an airportyet and I'm a bit scared of that. I don't know how everything works..
I think the best thing to do is to tell the people who work at the airport that it is your first time, so they can direct you in a clear way! Best of luck ❤️
Wahaha...what happened with William 🤣🤣🤣
Ha Ha. I took S9 from Schönefeld to Berlin City Center just last week. You must have taken a Regional train, because the S-Bahn ends in Schönefeld. Read the signs! In Wünsdorf btw was the head quarter of the Sovjet Army in Eastern Germany.
Last year in Vienna I missed my bag on the belt, caroussel. There was just another bag looking exactly like mine driving around, but it wasn‘t mine! What a nightmare, someone must have grabbed my bag. I took the wrong bag and went to the missing luggage desk. When I started to explain what happend an old lady appeared with my bag. I wondered how she could even lift my bag (usually 23kg). Here bag was very light. How could she not feel the weight difference? Adrenalin? At least she noticed her mistake before she left the Airport. I was happy. So, a red belt around the bag is a good idea! 😀
WILLIAM! NAUGTHY! NAUGTHY! LUCY, WILLIAM NEEDS TO LEARN TO RESPECT WHEN YOU ARE WORKING. NO INTERRUPTIONS!!!
I really don't mind Will barging in in all of your videos. Toobbad, didn't get to see his face..lol!
I think it's good that you are the way you are, stay that way. you are a beautiful young lady. Greetings Lauren Mcreen😊❤️
22:40, did I hear sausage?
Japan travel tips:
1.SLURP noodles as loud as you can cuz that means it's YUMMY
2.if you open stuff in a store you must buy it
That's why I always travel with my mom :)
Oh Lucy thanks for your video it was so useful for me! Actually I have one question.. In point number 9. what you are saying is " warn your bank account before you go abroad? Are you using the verb warn or may I have mistaken it for another one? Would you please be so kind to correct me? 🙏Thanks in advance! Your CZcams channels are now my new addiction 🤷🏼♀️
