So the bookstores are a little tricky in Switzerland because the main language is not english. The selection I could pick from was limited. It definitely was diverse and I was able to find something, but the airport and train stations had the best selections in my opinion. The books weren’t books i couldnt find in the states. The covers though were different. If you are looking for a more expansive selection and diverse titles and larger volume of work that you cant find in the States. I recommend the UK. They publish way more books per capita than the states. Also everything is in English so You won’t have to worry about any language barriers

Thank you Grandma! Love you too! 🖤

No problem at all, I definitely feel it is important to illustrate and address cultural differences. Especially if a person plans on traveling in a group. I think it is important to know what to expect beforehand. Just to best know how to navigate around the differences. I feel like if I would have known exactly what to expect, I would have came to France a lot sooner. Once i came across differences, i wouldn’t have internalized them. Thank you for sharing this about Spain! I was so close to going to Barcelona on this trip, but I fell in love with Nice, I was like I will go there next year or the year after. This is so good to know for me to plan ahead of time so thank you for sharing so i know what to expect. This helps me have a beautiful experience despite the difference in culture. Thank you for finding my little corner of the internet and commenting! It truly makes my day and keeps me motivated to keep making content. I hope to see you again! 💋

Thank you sooooo much for your support! I am so glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you for spending 20 minutes out of your day with me on my corner of the internet. It really means so much to me and keeps me motivated to keep creating. I hope you have a beautiful day and I will see you next week with another video. 🖤

Wowwwww. This made my Whole entire day! Thank you for spending 20 minutes of your day with me. I do very much hope you enjoyed and I so appreciate your support. Thank you 🙏

I am actually going back before your visit in April! I am going to be spending Christmas there and I am bringing my son with me this time! It will just be me and him! So I will have a much more robust answer in a couple of months. In the meantime, Edinburgh transport system is pretty easy to navigate. I think a big thing that helps is the fact it is in English. lol Most Museums in the UK are free, so you can go to any museum you want free of charge. My comment section in this video has soooooooo many gems. The Scottish people in my comment section have gone above and beyond to open up their home to me. If you have time I would totally scroll through. I am building my itinerary the next time I am there off their recommendations. Lastly, the thing to keep in mind. Edinburgh is HILLLLLYYYY. I would totally recommend a stroller to make things easier. I know as a solo traveler, traveling with a stroller and a baby can be a little tough, but if you are only traveling to Edinburgh and going no where else, I would totally travel with one. I would try to purchase the lightest stroller you can find. Just so its one that can easily collapse and go through public transport. Something like this: www.kolcraft.com/product/kolcraft-cloud-umbrella-stroller/ Your little one might not be able to withstand the hills if she has to walk without a stroller, and you might be too tired to carry her. Also a thing that helps is to plan your trip beforehand. So you arent walking up and down hill, multiple times a day. It helps to do everything up hill at first then move to down hill. There are also some areas that have a lot of steps as the fastest route, so it might not be as walkable with a stroller, so a light weight one is super helpful in case no one is around to help you can easily collapse it and carry the stroller and the baby down the steps. I hope this helps! I can try to follow-up once I go with my son for a more kid-friendly experience! I hope you enjoy Edinburgh as much as I did! Thank you for commenting and finding my side of the internet.

This feedback is super fair! I will be back in December, do you have any recommendations for Edinburgh? I feel like i have gotten so many recommendations for things to do and bookstores, but I haven’t gotten food recommendations. Outside of needing to try the tap water. Lol so i am totally down to experience authentic Scottish cuisine. Give me a couple recommendations and i will try to get one on camera 🥰

Omgosh you will LOVE Europe. Is there any place in particular you are thinking about visiting? If you have time I would take a week-two weeks if your schedule permits and try to visit 2-3 countries. Since Europe is so interconnected you can do so much if you plan it right, and not feel overwhelmed. If you are a slow traveler though I also think this is a great amount of time to thoroughly enjoy one country or major city. Some trips I visit many countries at once and some trips like this one I stayed in one country but went to two cities: Nice and Paris. Both have their pros and cons. Nonetheless, I do hope you and your wife have a beautiful time. Thank you so much for commenting and finding my little corner of the internet!

Your life sounds literally like my dream life! I bet you have felt like you have lived several lifetimes. I am so happy you have got to experience the world and thank you for your kind words! Have you ever been to italy? That is my next new country I will be visiting and if you have can you provide any recommendations. I will be staying in Lecco, and flying into Milan, I think realistically I can visit Milan or Rome. Not both. If you have been to either please let me know which one you suggest as my first time visiting. Thank you for finding my little corner of the internet! I do hope you enjoy it here. You definitely brightened my day with your kind words.

@@TaylorsJourney Thanks for your kindness, and yes, at least 3 or 4 lifetimes...LOL. It's been a great 58 years so far, truly thankful for every one of them! My first trip to Italy was in 1987, as a young Marine. Naples, Palermo and Sigonella. Over the last 15 years, add Venice, Rimini, Bologna, Milan, Paris, Rome and Como...so yes I've been to Italy. 😅 You've picked an amazing place to stay. I've never been to Lecco but having been in and around Lake Como, of course I've heard all about it. As for Rome or Milan, both will definitely keep you busy. Really, it depends on the purpose of the trip/visit. Rome is a huge tourism spot, probably more so than Milan and is just bigger. Both have great architecture, museums and food, of course. Milan however, is in my opinion, just a tad more laid back and luxurious in it's vibe so with that it's probably going to cost a bit more for accommodations...but also worth it. Since you're staying in Lecco, Milan is definitely closer but Rome is pretty much a "must see" type of destination. Rome has a more crazy nightlife though I feel that is not your 'jam.' But, it also has more history and art, which I feel gives it the slight advantage when it comes to one of your fav things...BOOKS! And how EPIC would a train ride be, through the countryside from Milan to Rome. 👍 (I'm really not helping to make this decision any easier, my bad. lol) In either case though, you can't go wrong. No matter which city you pick, it's sure to be an amazing trip. 💖

@@tima.478 Oh wow, Thank you so much for this feedback! I apologize for the delay, my actual day job has been very, VERY busy. But omgosh.. you are right both of these destinations sound perfect. I was almost set on Milan based on your recommendation until you mentioned Rome has the advantage with books. That makes the decision difficult to make. My little sister is supposed to be celebrating her birthday in Paris, which is why I have to pick one or the other, but her plans haven't been set in stone. In the event she doesn't go. I think I will pick both. The train ride idea sounds amazing because my little one lovesssss trains. I will keep you posted on what ends up happening. Nonetheless, whether I go to both this year, I will definitely try to see them both at some point in my lifetime especially with Rome being a must see like you recommended. Thank you so much for providing this information! I am so so sooo grateful and thank you for your patience while I was took a while to respond.

@@TaylorsJourney You're very welcome and no problem, just glad I could help...even If it was to *help* make the decision less easy! LOL Like you said, will be an epic trip no matter what. 💖 Nothing ventured, nothing gained... ✌

My friend, I love you. 🖤

Right?! Lolol i did not notice him Until post when editing and i was like 😂😂😂😂😂 sir it would be a dishonor to cut you from the footage lolol

You and me both!! lol I am back in Atlanta and as i edit these videos I feel like it was all a fever dream. I totally will go back! It sounds like you know a little French, so I truly hope you go! The city I was in, is called Nice. Despite its beaches being to die for it is most notably know for its art. There are many art museums there if you are interested in the arts in addition to the beach. 🖤

Welcome to our little corner of the internet, so glad you stumbled into my space! I just recently have gotten into travel. I started in March of 2023. For this video in particular, this is part of my France series. The places I went was Paris, Nice, and Versailles. Honestly, I loved every single city. All were different. I offered different vibes. All were beautiful and rich with history and culture. I usually spend most of my travel time in the UK. I frequent London 3-4 times a year. My favorite country is Scotland. The people are what make this country my favorite, but my favorite city Hands Down is London (in Europe). NYC is my favorite city on earth. I am an American to my core. lol Nothing tops NYC. This Fall/Winter I have Japan and Italy entering the chat of my travel plans. So more is coming. I have been more places but I feel this comment is getting far too long, but I think if you stay here and come by to my corner every now and then. I think you will have a good time.

Whenever I get this comment it is truly music to my ears, so thank you for this. Songs in order occurrence: 1. The Memory of Strangers by Yonder Dale (My personal favorite on this vlog) 2. A Young Boy's Folly by Jon Bjork 3. Holding on to Hope by Megan Wofford (this is also the outro song) If you are into this vibe of music, I recommend my Edinburgh videos, London Videos, and Switzerland Videos. There soundtracks are similar. Have a great day!

Omggggoshhhhh. This just made my whole day! I miss you! I feel like since im not on snapchat anymore i dont get to do our check ins as often 😢

Girl thank you! How have you been!!!

Thank you for your comment! I am an apple user so I use apple maps but i think it is pretty similar to google maps so you should be fine! In Switzerland some of the trains are not 24 hours. I would purchase your ticket in advance if you are flying into one city and taking the train to another, look online to see the times trains run from zurich to your final destination. If you arrive in Zurich late you may have to wait to the next morning to take a train to your final destination. I have a video called navigating public transportation if you are interested on the fine details. Best of luck to you and I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL trip. ❤

@@TaylorsJourney thank you so muchhh for replying!! Will do

@@KalisahBinthadiof course! I loveeee switzerland so i am so happy you are going! 🥰

Hello! 💕💕

Thank you so much! Literally I spent allll of my twenties in school and I was like my 30ssss are alll about livinggggg lol because I am FINALLY done with school. Praise, Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit okayyyyy

Thank you mommy! That is so sweet!! 💘

Mom youre sweet! Thank you so much, i really hope so because i wasnt able to spend as much time on the video as i liked

The tap water will be the first thing I try and I can't wait! December can't come fast enough me and my little one are tentatively planning to spend Christmas there. 🥰

Shes my best friend. Lolol she really looks out for me. 😂

Thanks Dani, youre sweet. ❤

@@TaylorsJourney your welcomee!! just catching up on the vidss 🙈

@@DaniFilms._girl there are soooo many lolol and theyve gotten longer with time thats why it takes me hoursss to edit lol

@@TaylorsJourney yeah i see that😂😂

I am watching a travel video on libson now! I had no idea how pretty portugal is. Its definitely on my list for travel next year because its gorgeoussss

I am so glad to have you here on my corner of the internet! If you enjoyed Paris my Nice vlogs are next and they are a realllll treat. 💖

I was shooting myself in the foot for not catching this sooner. My editing software does not have autocorrect which is something I am embarrassingly completely reliant on. I now take more time to manually spellcheck all of my lower thirds (text on screen). 😓

Yes! Please!!! I just randomly booked it because it was the only tour open for me to schedule the time i was there, but I am so glad, God was looking out for me because wheewwww. Three hours was wild.

@@DrTreMD omgoshhh Tre Dont make me blush. I was up all night the past two nights editing this video! So thank you for your kind words because GIRL. Lol i was about to throw the laptop away last night. 😂 I did not learn French and you definitely can get by without it in Paris and Nice. I will say I did have my sister give me a crash course and I started using it. I feel like if you know basic conversation youre good. I do know if you dont know it well. Dont bother. Lol they will prefer you to speak English. Not because they are being rude but mostly because France is soooo busy. If you know english its just quicker to get things done. Then struggle over the language barrier if you both speak English.

I am so sad I did not know about the tap water beforehand! Like I had no idea, and I am so sad I didn't get to try it. I will be back in December during the Christmas season so I am going to try it then and will get it all on camera. I am most excited for my obtaining my retribution. lol You are correct about it not being mentioned in England. I am in London quite frequently and I usually default to bottled water. Thank you for your tip for the bookstore. Do you happen to know the name of it? I would love to go and check it out the next time I am there. I will be in Edinburgh for Three days. I want to pack as much as I can in during those three days. Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet and providing your tips! I cannot wait to implement them on my next trip to your beautiful city. 💕

Oh, and visit Armchair Books in Edinburgh, it's the most traditional bookstore with real 1800s vibes, have a look on Google

I am so excited to see more! I will be back in December and will be spending my Christmas holiday in Scotland. I will be returning to Edinburgh but also will be taking a stop in Glasgow because so many of the commenters mentioned I should go there next. I am fortunate enough to have a work conference in Glasgow next June, so I will prolong that trip and visit even more cities. I have definitely fallen in love your country. Thank you for your kind words and finding my corner of the internet! I cannot wait for the many more memories to make. 💕🌸🌺💐

Ohh emmm geee. I just googled it! You are totally right this looks beautiful. I could probably spend the whole entire day there. I will definitely try to visit the next time I am in town. Thank you for providing this recommendation!

I am still kicking myself for not knowing this when I was there. I won't make the same mistake on my next trip. I will be there in December so I am hoping the next time I am there it is snowing. I am very excited. ❤️🌸

@@TaylorsJourney There’s more of a chance that there will be snow in the highlands , Inverness etc , than in the lowlands . I hope you have a great journey and enjoy yourself .

Thank you so much! This makes me so happy. I am glad to hear another person call it good because whenever I tried to buy the first book in the states it was never in stock. This is very promising news! I am now actually excited, and I am going to push it up on my TBR. 😇 Also thank you so so soooo much about your comments regarding my content. I am so happy you are enjoying it. It makes my heart so full. Thank you for taking the time to say this. I am so glad you found my little corner of the internet and I hope you stay along for the ride! 🌸🌺💐❤️

Thank you so much! You are so very kind. I am glad you like my vlogging style. It truly brings my little heart joy. Have a beautiful day and thank you for stumbling upon my corner of the internet. 💕🌸🌺

Thank you so much. It truly was a magical city that still lives with me. I am planning a trip this coming December and to bring my little one, so some of the magic can rub off on him as well. 💕 I also cannot wait to try the water it is what I am most excited for. lol

Thank you for explaining! Another subscriber mentioned this as well. It makes it difficult for me though, because I do not always arrive in the UK around the time my most anticipated books are released. I have solved this though through waterstones. I have a membership and they ship internationally, so I just pre-order the hardbacks. I will say.. the European way has rubbed off on me. lol I can't remember the last time I have bought a hardback book, I have gravitated to paperback mostly because they are lighter so when I travel I can buy more paperback books than hardback. Now even in the states, I forget Hardbacks exists and I buy paperbacks lol

I know I am so sad! I have told my other subscribers this is what I am the most excited for when I come back to experience. ❤️

Here is the link to my Airbnb: www.airbnb.com/rooms/625120745805305966?source_impression_id=p3_1722766765_P3-hEi4Zc1Yvbb5t Just copy and paste it. I stayed in Grassmarket it was perfect I could walk everywhere! Also thank you for your nice words regarding the music selection i take a lot of time finding the right audio so that makes me very happy to hear. 💕

Thanks so much n you're welcome. The music really conveys the mood of Edinburgh.

Apart from the centre of the city, there are a few places outside which are worth a visit Portobello beach Craigmillar Castle Musselburgh You'll miss out on seeing the Gala day celebrations as they are at the end of the school year and are definitely outside the main cities and are a mix of graduation and celebration, in Loanhead, at least, the members of the "royal court" build some beautiful, unique and sometimes really incredible displays in their front gardens, with prizes for the best decorations

@krisssmith78, @cookiemonster1409 's comment is why i LOVE Edinburgh. The people are hands down my favorite part about the city (and the water lolol). All jokes aside, the people. You will love Edinburgh, and will be blown away by the architectural charm this city offers. I am JEALOUS you are going in October. That is my favorite month of the year so I do hope you enjoy every moment. If you have the time please comb through my comments on my Edinburgh videos. The natives have left so so soooooo much knowledge and recommendations for food, bookstores, historical landmarks, other cities to visit, best time to visit, lodging and so much more. I cannot recommend my comment section enough for you to get a true authentic experience during your time in Scotland. Best of luck to you and I please do let me know how much you loved it! Once you return from your trip.

Your city made me feel like a princess in a fairytale. You are so fortunate to call it home. Thank you for your kind words and cannot wait to comeback later this year. 💕
