I followed her since I was 23 and now I'm 28. Sorelle literally raised me and I'm feeling so glad to be exposed by the kind messages she give out to the world.

Travelling, in retrospect, might seem like a waste of money... But when you consider the experiences and lessons you learn from it, you see the true value of what it brings. Memories, culture, people, environments and most importantly, freedom. Travelling allows us to embark on adventures and, ultimately, seek inspiration and grow as an individual and human being.
Thats so inspiring! I'm 35 and doing the same thing, and intermittently navigating that voice that says I'm crazy, and that it's too late. We got this!

We're travelling through Central America at the moment and we've found a massive discrepancy between the way some countries are portrayed compared to how they actually are. So many people skip visiting El Salvador because they're scared that it's too dangerous, but it's an amazing country. Definitely agree that you should go out there and experience places for yourself
Before I started to travel actively by hitchhiking and couchsurfing at the age of 23, I had a totally different perception of how people are. It was a life-changing experience to discover how kind and helpful people are towards strangers. I did traveling without money for several months a year and I most of the time got a place to sleep and food to eat wherever I went. I am happy I dared to do that since I wouldn't be able to afford the trips to the destinations I reached otherwise.

As someone who wants to travel the world, this video helped immensely. I agree that people live in fear and that the world is kinder than we realize. Number 14 is my favorite and the reason I love meeting new people❤️ Lots of love from México
I'm an anthropologist and I think it is so wonderful to see situations like this where people are doing anthropology and might not even know it! These are such beautiful insights into the human existence and it's a message that needs to be spread. You are so inspiring and have impacted my life already. It is incredible how much you impact people who you could consider "strangers" but somehow it feels like we truly are all connected. Thank you for being you.
It took me 4 years of living abroad to learn what part of me was actually me and what was my family's expectations weighing me down. I totally agree that long-term travel allows you to learn who you are!
@@jimmoses6617 Hi! Thanks for your kind words. I absolutely see that all my parents did for me was out of love, and they have definitely lifted me up too. That being said, it's also good to make peace with the fact that everyone creates expectations for others and mistakes can be made even when you love someone. I know many parents do the best they can with what they have. That doesn't mean it isn't important to create space for people to find their individuality too, and that's what I was commenting about. Take care! :)
I miss travelling SO much, and I completely agree with you Sorelle! I haven't been lucky enough to travel to 50 countries yet (only 11 so far!), BUT I did learn a lot about myself and others in my journeys! Travelling does make you more in tune with yourself and others, it makes you more open to different people and cultures. I've been to a couple "more dangerous" countries, and honestly it's not really dangerous as long as you respect local values and lifestyle. You also develop a sense of awareness if someone might want to hurt you and it helps you make the right decisions to avoid dangerous situations. Of course, I'm not saying someone can fully become immune to danger, but developing that sense of awareness and being able to understand where others might be coming from helps tremendously. Also, volunteering when traveling is AWESOME! I volunteered at an animal shelter in Thailand for 3 months, and it was the best time of my life. I met amazing people from all around the world, learned so much about the culture and had amazing experiences. Although I was able to rent my own housing while there, the shelter I worked at did provide housing to a limited number of volunteers. I do recommend anyone who's afraid of travelling to explore volunteer opportunities! Hope this helps anyone who is looking to take the leap!
Tbh, "start from scratch" is a tricky one for me. i was so eager to travel the world but I found myself always starting from scratch in many aspects of my life that it kinda hurt that I don't have a feeling of home and stability. Now I love where I live, I know I can find even a better place for me but I so wanna give it all before I move. I don't wanna keep on being stuck in that starting from scratch loop. I don't know if I even make sense!
I travelled to China for business by myself. Spent a month there looking at factories that made products I was interested in. Went by train and plane to different areas, none of them touristy. It was my first time going over sea. The most marvelous experience met so many happy "ordinary people". Had lots of fun when my translation app stopped working and had to mime things. I laughed a lot. I was amazed at how creative I could get and what power a simple smile and expression of gratitude could achieve. The people delighted me with their kindness and help. It is never to late to expand your experiences I was 55 at the time. I am amazed at how many people have asked me "wasn't I scared being by myself in a country where I didn't speak the language and very few spoke mine" and the answer is "nope". I found it very freeing, highly recommend giving it a try if it is something that interests you.
I don't get post notifications often, and when I see that it's you that uploaded, I HAVE to see what you have gifted to your viewers. This is such a breath of fresh air to listen to in our current climate, where so many humans are turning against one another for a plethora of reasons. I also believe that everybody is good in their core. Inherently good and inherently human, but it's life that can hinder that, and people forget who they are. Sending you so, so much love, Sorelle. Thank you for this video and this message. ♡
I just came back from both Kenya and Tanzania! Every word in this video is exactly how I feel and have felt and will continue to express to others! Your videos are truly amazing and inspirational 💜
hi Sorelle! i found your channel about a month ago, and as a very lost and confused 20 year old who feels as though she lost herself and her spark, the energy you emit through your videos and the messages you share have been rekindling my fire for this life. thank you for inspiring me and many many others. you are awesome
New creator here and I must say that your videos are a piece of art. The thumbnails, clips you use and your delivery style! Also, I’m doing your advanced selfie course and enjoying it so much! The only pre recorded course that I get excited to watch. You are a gem, Sorelle! 🙌🏽
I agree especially on all points about people: they are happier, they are the same but unique, they are kind - mostly: Anyway my naive self also had to learn several times on my trips, that NOT all people have good intentions - After all this 1 percent also has their reason for their bad intention. Well, fear stops gripping you, but other fears appear and want to be worked on after that trip and influence further decisions and travels. It is a big school out there!
I hope that many people follow your advice about travel. I have only traveled to five different countries in my life. And you are right about the people. The vast majority of people welcome you to their country. They seem to want to help you in any way they can. People are always eager to hear stories of your travels. I only wish I could travel more.
I've only been to about 5 countries and I can say this is 100% accurate. One of the biggest takeaways I got from traveling (growing up in a family kind of obsessed with making money) is you do not need a lot to be happy. Some of the happiest people I've ever met lived in tiny huts with 5 others and had what some would call "nothing".
I so so so agree with you! People call me naive when I tell them the world can be kind. I never said that it always will be, I’m just saying it is kinder than we give it credit for. If anything, I find it pretty naive to think the world is always out there to get you. Thank you, as always. For believing in the kindness of others. ♥️
She's right about travel,and really,anonymity. When you get away from your group a bit, you can learn who you are,and you can mess up without having everyone judge you at once
100% agree..... Also, three things to have and a 4th if you have it.... 1. Empathy 2. Intelligence 3. Accepting 4. A smile that shines like a beacon in the dark
the travel one really hit i packed my bags to go work somewhere for just 2 weeks and 3 months later still away packed just 2 bags that's all don't really care what i wear don't have any expenses except for some small fixed cost at home
Thank you for another great video! I studied abroad for several months this past spring and I definitely learned some of these lessons. After I graduate I plan to make long term travel a priority. I seek exploration of cultures and environments and it brings me immense joy and energy. Ah I love humans and learning about one another. So beautiful!
I've been to about 60 countries from 20-28 years old now. Most of these videos on CZcams about travelling are 99% bullshit. You are one of the VERY few creators on here that i could listen to and understand indefinitely. Well done for telling it how it is and pushing yourself out there and seeing what its like for yourself! It takes a lot of energy too to present and show that information in a clear way and a patient matter! something i still struggle with the patience part XD keep it up! new sub for sure
I stumbled upon with your channel because the "randomness" of CZcams algorithm, I really like your message, your energy and aesthetics of your videos and pictures. I thought you were just another finance CZcamsr but you are far more than that. You are the stereotype of the people I'm am comfort to have around me. Best wishes
Everyone has their story. Listen. We can always learn if we are open to. Sometimes that needs an inner push, but its worth it. What I learned in my journey is, that, I can always make me home. I can practise little habits all over the word, if I feel lost, to remind me that even though everything is changing around me, I am still here and can make myself feel safe 💖 Becouse I sometimes its overwhelming, when everything slips away and changes. But it will be fine, I promise.
Yesssss! I love the way you think Sorelle. You're an experiential student of philosophy, and sociology of course. Love your work. I built houses for homeless families in Mexico. The kids got to choose the paint colours. That experience made my year.
I cannot express enough about the truth regarding "the world is kind". Thank you for saying this for what many of us travelers learn to realize. The world is lovely. People are amazing.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm far away from visiting 50 countries, but the hardest was the first one. I've set on a new journey of exploration since, every year and not regret investing in travelling (even though the world around me has a different opinion). Just like you said, you get to really find out who you are, you realise that people everywhere are more welcoming, kind and happier than you ever thought they are and that a lot of our preconceptions about a country or a people are false.
Thank you for saying all of this out loud! I travelled less than you are , but still been in 24 countries, lived in 4 different countries thought my life and recently moved again. from one coast to another, just because I can. And I cannot agree more, people are kind, helping and loving majority of the time. And the best thing I could do for my self for my own character design and for my relationship with my family is to spend a really long period of time away from them ( I love them, but I found that I couldn't hear my own thought so clearly when I was too close to them ) and living in different places allowed me to see different cultures, religions and helped me to have an open and curious mind and I think overall made me a better person. So again, thank you for sharing yours stories.
Even traveling your own country can widen your view on life immensely. I am from Russia, and for the last year I invested almost all of my travels to explore Caucasian mountains. 8 trips so far to different republics, and holy shit, it's eye opening! Just try and immerse yourself in different cultures, it's so so important for a clearer view on the world and how we are living.
Sometimes a good way to boost confidence is through ignorance. Agree to do something new and out of your comfort zone. Don't sweat every detail, just the important ones. When you get there, you'll be forced to figure it out because you wont have any other choice. By the end, you'll be confident that you can do that thing again. Knowing you can figure something out is just as valuable as figuring it out.
I learned the same thing, that the world is kind more than evil, but when people stay inside and listen to fear propaganda it’s easy to see why there is so much fear, but when we let go of fear and go out the world of kindness opens up
All of this! So much yes. I'm leaving the states on a one way ticket to turkey in a week (😁😬😁) and I've been blessed with the opportunity to show an 8 year old and a 12 year old that travel is possible, and by telling them stories about past travels that the world is so much bigger than what they've been exposed to. Which is beautiful, especially when one of their parents is stuck in that fear mindset. We have an effect on the people we share with!
Ha! I just came across this video, thanks CZcams algorithm! Every word she says is absolutely true. I've traveled to 48 countries and I promote almost exactly what she says in the video. I've been living by myself since I was 10. First in a boarding school and then university and now for a job. I absolutely love my family. We might not be together, but we're super close, which I've noticed is a rarity these days. Travelling has definitely changed me as a person and I wouldn't have it any other way. One thing which I would like to add here is "travelling alone". (Maybe it is implied in the video, but...) I've travelled with friends and it is not the same. Most people won't talk to you because you're with someone. When you're alone, random strangers will approach you and you're free to do the same. Some of my best experiences are because I was alone there. When you think about it, you are never ever alone really. The world is an absolutely gorgeous place and like Sorelle said, 99% of them are really kindhearted people. You'll be fine. ♥️
"Critical thinking is a luxury" Going from privileged and worry-free to worrying about my next meal or next month's rent made me truly understand this statement. Love this video!
I don't know haw too say it but I think l like you...this world is full of fear, fake, lies. We are a lot that we are thinking like you but like you said it's hard too make a change in the world. You are amazing ❤️ 👏 👏👏 👏
Loved all of these!!! It is absolutely true that traveling changes your mindset. I grew up never traveling or leaving the country, and once I set out my world changed. I've learned so much and can honestly say that is been the best thing I could have done.
Hi Sorelle, I watch all your videos but listen to me, I have never felt moved as I did while watching this video. The lessons you shared with us are extremely valuable and I literally feel like crying that I haven't done anything in these 27 years of my life. I have always felt caged in my mind and somewhat by my family. I so want to change myself but Its difficult to find the courage. I really really wish to be mentored by you in any way possible because just learning from you will change me and bring more out of me. This will be my deepest wish. Thank you for sharing everything. I obviously know many people must have been inspired by you but I am your die-hard fan, woman. I just love you for everything. I am sure I will cry hard when I will get a chance to meet you.
Awwww, OMG, THIS IS SOO BEAUTIFUL AND ADORABLE MY LOVEE !! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO AND I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH MY ANGELL !! I’M SOO EXTREMELYYY PROUD OF YOU ALWAYS MY LOVEEE !! SENDING YOU LOADS OF LOVEE, BLESSINGS, POSITIVE ENERGY AND BIG HUGS !! MAY GOD BLESS YOU SOO ABUNDANTLY MY BEAUTIFUL SOUL !! ❤️❤️❤️🥺🦋
I sweaaar to good, this vids going to go viral! So lovedddd to listen all through till the end so muchhh love Sorelle here from almost the starting, love everything about you💗
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I just had a conversation with Sorelle! Could my day be any better?🥺❤️ You & Lana Blakely are hands down the most precious CZcamsrs, please keep blessing us with your authentic content💗💗
Dear Sorelle, you popped up in my feed recently and I want to thank you for making this video. Instead of me telling those exact things to everyone who asks me about my thoughts about my traveling experiences, I shall just send them this video!!! It is 100% how I talk, from the content to the mini rant about governments, hehe ... thank you. I think the universe sent you on those expansive travels so that you have the intrinsic motivation and understanding to use your skills and reach for making true and lasting changes to the world, in whatever area you choose to reign next (assuming it will be the financial education channel). It tested your commitment to growth and now that you have proven yourself through the money gains and the willingness to get to know yourself through the dark night (more like 2-3 years) of the soul, it will reward you 1000fold. Welcome to the other side, it is beautiful here. Say hi if you want any strategic support in that. xox
This was so positive and nurturing and felt like so much more than lessons. Your analysis of life and humans and yourself is so beautiful and I will always aspire to reach that ❤️
Great insights Sorelle. I've shared this video with every single one of my children, nieces, and nephews. It's so important to understand your place in the world and that cannot be achieved without traveling and exposing yourself to other cultures.
I enjoy your videos as they reenforce my viewpoints. As a world traveler I don’t allow culture shock to affect me. I accept the differences and learn from them. It’s amazing how a smile is the same everywhere. ❤️🇺🇸
Another amazing and up to the point video Sorelle! For me moving abroad was probably the best thing I ever did in my life so far and made me such a better person! I totally see your point now that money is not evil and it will magnify the real person you are, so in this sense I love the fact that you create such influential videos to reduce ignorance and hate! The last point is also so big! I think I am also finding that even though it may sound a bit counterintuitive, the more I travel and the more I meet new cultures and people, the more I get to know my own self too.
What a beautiful video! I agree with you on all of these things. Traveling can really give you so much. So many people think the world is filled with people who want to hurt you, of course there will always be those too, but quite often people let negativity and fear stop them from experiencing something beautiful. The world has so much to give! 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for the positivity in this video. Deep down i knew the world is good, but media always tries to promote fear and anxiety. Thank you for giving me hope!
Don't live a life of fear- agreed- I must admit after 120 countries and 35 years travelling around , I have never been robbed or assaulted. Having said that, I have not been to El Salvador- out of perception- Will definitely visit after watching your surfing videos!!
I've been binge watching your videos on both channels after stumbling across your finance channel and enjoying everything you put out. You have such a calming voice and presence and I love it. Keep up the great work and keep sharing the knowledge!
Awwwww. A few years back no one would have ever described me as calming (my old videos were nothing like that) so I really like this compliment :) thank you :)
They say FEAR is your greatest enemy for a reason! At the end of the day we are all individuals and yes at the core all the same. But recent developments are a bit of a concern so going out to travel is so important to broaden the mind!
I just discovered you 2 weeks ago via your finance chanel. I'm really impressed by the quantity and quality of what you're sharing. So many gurus and "magic recipes" on youtube, you're defenetly not one of them. You really seem to talk from experience, read a lot.. your thought on most subjects really resonates on me. Greetings from Paris.
You have to admit, you have a very friendly face and that does help. I'm not saying people are not kind, it's more like some people will more easily invoke sympathy in others and that big smile of your will certainly not tell me the contrary :)
So relatable!! My dream is to travel all around the world, I've been to 9 countries so far but still counting! Thank you for such an inspirational vid!! 🥰❤
Hi sorelle, can you make a video on how to start backpacking/traveling abroad for beginners who want to leave their country for say 6 mos or so? Tips on this and how much one should save for this type of journey. Thanks so much!
Hey Sorelle :) Come to Bulgaria. We have really bad reputation also. But here is beautiful, cheap for you and we still have farmer culture with amazing food.
I followed her since I was 23 and now I'm 28. Sorelle literally raised me and I'm feeling so glad to be exposed by the kind messages she give out to the world.
Oh man. Wow. That’s amazing!!! So glad I’ve been part of your journey!!
Amazing❤️ I’m 23 now and I just know that I’m gonna be here on Sorelle’s channel(s) for a long time☺️
I feel so glad to have heard her messages too
"Critical thinking is a luxury". Wow. I've never thought of that before. Thank you for another wonderful video!

THANK YOU SO MUCH SORELLE!!! WITH EVERY VIDEO YOU HAVE BEEN A CATALYST IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF MY LIFE directly!!!
I've been to about 60 countries from 20-28 years old now. Most of these videos on CZcams about travelling are 99% bullshit. You are one of the VERY few creators on here that i could listen to and understand indefinitely. Well done for telling it how it is and pushing yourself out there and seeing what its like for yourself!
It takes a lot of energy too to present and show that information in a clear way and a patient matter! something i still struggle with the patience part XD keep it up! new sub for sure
I stumbled upon with your channel because the "randomness" of CZcams algorithm, I really like your message, your energy and aesthetics of your videos and pictures. I thought you were just another finance CZcamsr but you are far more than that. You are the stereotype of the people I'm am comfort to have around me. Best wishes
She's how the world is suppose to be
Bless your heart 🥰
Dream come true all those different cultures you have been able to engulf yourself in. This is one of my favourite videos on CZcams ❤❤❤
Have to say...my fav is the 14th point. What are some of your best lessons from travel (even if it's local travel)?
haha I see you winking at the lightworkers, testing the waters 😉 we are here to shine 🙌
so true! that last one... just great
I've learned that I can do hard (seemingly impossible) things. And that my heart is so much more elastic than I often give it credit for.
Totally agree. 14 is the best one.
Everyone has their story. Listen. We can always learn if we are open to. Sometimes that needs an inner push, but its worth it.
What I learned in my journey is, that, I can always make me home. I can practise little habits all over the word, if I feel lost, to remind me that even though everything is changing around me, I am still here and can make myself feel safe 💖 Becouse I sometimes its overwhelming, when everything slips away and changes. But it will be fine, I promise.
Yesssss! I love the way you think Sorelle. You're an experiential student of philosophy, and sociology of course. Love your work.
I built houses for homeless families in Mexico. The kids got to choose the paint colours. That experience made my year.
I cannot express enough about the truth regarding "the world is kind". Thank you for saying this for what many of us travelers learn to realize. The world is lovely. People are amazing.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm far away from visiting 50 countries, but the hardest was the first one. I've set on a new journey of exploration since, every year and not regret investing in travelling (even though the world around me has a different opinion). Just like you said, you get to really find out who you are, you realise that people everywhere are more welcoming, kind and happier than you ever thought they are and that a lot of our preconceptions about a country or a people are false.
Love you saying it’s a bunch of Fake News and talking about Lightworkers. You’re a beautiful human. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for saying all of this out loud! I travelled less than you are , but still been in 24 countries, lived in 4 different countries thought my life and recently moved again. from one coast to another, just because I can. And I cannot agree more, people are kind, helping and loving majority of the time. And the best thing I could do for my self for my own character design and for my relationship with my family is to spend a really long period of time away from them ( I love them, but I found that I couldn't hear my own thought so clearly when I was too close to them ) and living in different places allowed me to see different cultures, religions and helped me to have an open and curious mind and I think overall made me a better person. So again, thank you for sharing yours stories.
Even traveling your own country can widen your view on life immensely. I am from Russia, and for the last year I invested almost all of my travels to explore Caucasian mountains. 8 trips so far to different republics, and holy shit, it's eye opening!
Just try and immerse yourself in different cultures, it's so so important for a clearer view on the world and how we are living.
Which was the most enjoyable?
@@scottslotterbeck3796 Dagestan was surprisingly great, hospitable people, tasty food, beautiful nature and mountains.
Sometimes a good way to boost confidence is through ignorance. Agree to do something new and out of your comfort zone. Don't sweat every detail, just the important ones. When you get there, you'll be forced to figure it out because you wont have any other choice. By the end, you'll be confident that you can do that thing again. Knowing you can figure something out is just as valuable as figuring it out.
I learned the same thing, that the world is kind more than evil, but when people stay inside and listen to fear propaganda it’s easy to see why there is so much fear, but when we let go of fear and go out the world of kindness opens up
All of this! So much yes. I'm leaving the states on a one way ticket to turkey in a week (😁😬😁) and I've been blessed with the opportunity to show an 8 year old and a 12 year old that travel is possible, and by telling them stories about past travels that the world is so much bigger than what they've been exposed to. Which is beautiful, especially when one of their parents is stuck in that fear mindset. We have an effect on the people we share with!
Ha! I just came across this video, thanks CZcams algorithm! Every word she says is absolutely true. I've traveled to 48 countries and I promote almost exactly what she says in the video. I've been living by myself since I was 10. First in a boarding school and then university and now for a job. I absolutely love my family. We might not be together, but we're super close, which I've noticed is a rarity these days.
Travelling has definitely changed me as a person and I wouldn't have it any other way. One thing which I would like to add here is "travelling alone". (Maybe it is implied in the video, but...) I've travelled with friends and it is not the same. Most people won't talk to you because you're with someone. When you're alone, random strangers will approach you and you're free to do the same. Some of my best experiences are because I was alone there. When you think about it, you are never ever alone really. The world is an absolutely gorgeous place and like Sorelle said, 99% of them are really kindhearted people. You'll be fine. ♥️
Masz piękną duszyczke i taką szczerą, niczym nie zakłòconą radość z życia. Piekne. Pozdrawiam:)
I am 3 years late to this video. Holy moly - so inspiring. Thank you.
So good! I've been practicing getting out of my comfort zone and am very much looking forward to travelling the way you described soon!
Yipeeee!!
i absolutely loved seeing pictures of little sorelle!!!💓
She cute ;)
2:50 this made me emotional. Thank you.
Lies lie and more lies for more fear. Divide and conquer at its finest. 100% correct! The world is waking and will be filled with love soon!
You better believe it! No turning it back now!
"Critical thinking is a luxury"
Going from privileged and worry-free to worrying about my next meal or next month's rent made me truly understand this statement. Love this video!
What a great video! The world would be a better place if everyone watched this.
9:27 Hi Sorelle, can you make a video on how "these volunteer places" will pay for your ticket, and give some examples? That would be awesome. Thanks!
I don't know haw too say it but I think l like you...this world is full of fear, fake, lies. We are a lot that we are thinking like you but like you said it's hard too make a change in the world. You are amazing ❤️ 👏 👏👏 👏
Loved all of these!!! It is absolutely true that traveling changes your mindset. I grew up never traveling or leaving the country, and once I set out my world changed. I've learned so much and can honestly say that is been the best thing I could have done.
5:00 so true ... this is a topic of its own
Hi Sorelle,
I watch all your videos but listen to me, I have never felt moved as I did while watching this video. The lessons you shared with us are extremely valuable and I literally feel like crying that I haven't done anything in these 27 years of my life. I have always felt caged in my mind and somewhat by my family. I so want to change myself but Its difficult to find the courage. I really really wish to be mentored by you in any way possible because just learning from you will change me and bring more out of me. This will be my deepest wish.
Thank you for sharing everything. I obviously know many people must have been inspired by you but I am your die-hard fan, woman.
I just love you for everything. I am sure I will cry hard when I will get a chance to meet you.
Awwww, OMG, THIS IS SOO BEAUTIFUL AND ADORABLE MY LOVEE !! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO AND I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH MY ANGELL !! I’M SOO EXTREMELYYY PROUD OF YOU ALWAYS MY LOVEEE !! SENDING YOU LOADS OF LOVEE, BLESSINGS, POSITIVE ENERGY AND BIG HUGS !! MAY GOD BLESS YOU SOO ABUNDANTLY MY BEAUTIFUL SOUL !! ❤️❤️❤️🥺🦋
Literally tearing up at the thought of a love based world. This would make a good online community group ;)
Your work is so inspiring! Very geniune, authentic and so much value! True gem....thank you so much for what you are providing :)
8:07 👍
Absolutely
Very wise woman. God bless you!
I sweaaar to good, this vids going to go viral! So lovedddd to listen all through till the end so muchhh love Sorelle here from almost the starting, love everything about you💗
Thanks precious human!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I just had a conversation with Sorelle! Could my day be any better?🥺❤️ You & Lana Blakely are hands down the most precious CZcamsrs, please keep blessing us with your authentic content💗💗
Dear Sorelle, you popped up in my feed recently and I want to thank you for making this video. Instead of me telling those exact things to everyone who asks me about my thoughts about my traveling experiences, I shall just send them this video!!! It is 100% how I talk, from the content to the mini rant about governments, hehe ... thank you.
I think the universe sent you on those expansive travels so that you have the intrinsic motivation and understanding to use your skills and reach for making true and lasting changes to the world, in whatever area you choose to reign next (assuming it will be the financial education channel). It tested your commitment to growth and now that you have proven yourself through the money gains and the willingness to get to know yourself through the dark night (more like 2-3 years) of the soul, it will reward you 1000fold. Welcome to the other side, it is beautiful here.
Say hi if you want any strategic support in that. xox
This was so positive and nurturing and felt like so much more than lessons. Your analysis of life and humans and yourself is so beautiful and I will always aspire to reach that ❤️
🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻
Great insights Sorelle. I've shared this video with every single one of my children, nieces, and nephews. It's so important to understand your place in the world and that cannot be achieved without traveling and exposing yourself to other cultures.
This is adorable. Thank you for sharing. Glad you enjoyed it!!
I enjoy your videos as they reenforce my viewpoints. As a world traveler I don’t allow culture shock to affect me. I accept the differences and learn from them. It’s amazing how a smile is the same everywhere. ❤️🇺🇸
I'm just binging your videos now.... we share so many principles!!! I'll get up and go do actual things in a bit though... so glad I found you!
I'm so glad you found me toooo!!! :)
Another amazing and up to the point video Sorelle! For me moving abroad was probably the best thing I ever did in my life so far and made me such a better person! I totally see your point now that money is not evil and it will magnify the real person you are, so in this sense I love the fact that you create such influential videos to reduce ignorance and hate! The last point is also so big! I think I am also finding that even though it may sound a bit counterintuitive, the more I travel and the more I meet new cultures and people, the more I get to know my own self too.
Yesssss!!! All of the yes!!
What a beautiful video! I agree with you on all of these things. Traveling can really give you so much. So many people think the world is filled with people who want to hurt you, of course there will always be those too, but quite often people let negativity and fear stop them from experiencing something beautiful. The world has so much to give! 🙌🏼
Amen!!!
Thank you so much for the positivity in this video. Deep down i knew the world is good, but media always tries to promote fear and anxiety. Thank you for giving me hope!
Ppl r great, it's the governments which brings upon fear/hate.
Music and laughter will save this world. Great smile Sorelle, cheers from Canada.
You really are a breath of fresh air and joy young lady 🥂
Absolutely love this! Manifesting this for all of us because we deserve to live abundant lives💕💕
Last one was a magnificent insight
Don't live a life of fear- agreed- I must admit after 120 countries and 35 years travelling around , I have never been robbed or assaulted. Having said that, I have not been to El Salvador- out of perception- Will definitely visit after watching your surfing videos!!
I was pickpocketed in Moscow and Bucharest, but nothing valuable was taken.
Your beautiful smile is contagious and you have kind eyes! I agree wholeheartedly!! Many blessings ❤️
Thanks Lady!!! :)
I've been binge watching your videos on both channels after stumbling across your finance channel and enjoying everything you put out. You have such a calming voice and presence and I love it. Keep up the great work and keep sharing the knowledge!
Awwwww. A few years back no one would have ever described me as calming (my old videos were nothing like that) so I really like this compliment :) thank you :)
They say FEAR is your greatest enemy for a reason! At the end of the day we are all individuals and yes at the core all the same. But recent developments are a bit of a concern so going out to travel is so important to broaden the mind!
I just discovered you 2 weeks ago via your finance chanel. I'm really impressed by the quantity and quality of what you're sharing. So many gurus and "magic recipes" on youtube, you're defenetly not one of them. You really seem to talk from experience, read a lot.. your thought on most subjects really resonates on me.
Greetings from Paris.
Best summarisation of travelling wisdoms until now. Really recognizable.
Was scripting an inspirational video for my channel and your video just gave me more inspiration for this type of lifestyle to write about 😭❤️
Hey yaaay!!! Super awesome. Good luck with the scripting fellow traveler :)
@@SorelleAmore 🥰🥰🥰
You have to admit, you have a very friendly face and that does help. I'm not saying people are not kind, it's more like some people will more easily invoke sympathy in others and that big smile of your will certainly not tell me the contrary :)
Six-pack thumb hooked me in.
Congratulations. Beautiful, beautiful message. I really liked it!
May there be light & love Sorelle - Thank You !
Love the video. Cheers to all the lightworkers out there 😍
Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching :)
I love Reykjavik. I would love to live there. And... it is not that cold.
What a wise young woman.
a quarter of the world! yay!
Great, nice topic to debate with your friend Eva zu Beck about counting the countries :D
Very very good show. The issues you address are very real..
This video is too good 🤠 I think it is one of the best videos on travel YT❤️
So relatable!! My dream is to travel all around the world, I've been to 9 countries so far but still counting! Thank you for such an inspirational vid!! 🥰❤
Keep at it! Best thing to spend money on :)
Hi sorelle, can you make a video on how to start backpacking/traveling abroad for beginners who want to leave their country for say 6 mos or so? Tips on this and how much one should save for this type of journey. Thanks so much!
Try Europe. Or Iceland.
You're so inspiring!❤️❤️❤️and greetings from Tarnow
Wait whaaa??? Tarnow?? My family lived there. Grandma and grandpa and my dad grew up there. Wild!
@@SorelleAmore the world is so small!!! amazing coincidence😍😍
You are so on point! Sorelle!
Hey Sorelle :) Come to Bulgaria. We have really bad reputation also. But here is beautiful, cheap for you and we still have farmer culture with amazing food.
