Pondicherry has French cuisine influence, Goa has Portuguese cuisine influence. British colonized most of the India, but there is no British food influence. This says a lot about British cuisine.
I'm so happy that someone is showing the actual India😫, like every foreign vlogger shows delhi, varanasi, agra or mumbai but you showed the actual beautiful places, hats of to you 🫡
Omgosh such a beautiful city!! I loved the colorful buildings, and the architecture is gorgeous! I’m sure I put on pounds just looking at all those delicious pastries😋. Lastly, I loved your background music…. I really thought I was strolling thru the streets of Paris. Loved it!!❤️❤️
Wow french influcences in india. Love the archetecture, those pastries looked amazing..if you didnt know where you were you could of been in France. French bread is so amazing. 1 per cafè 😅. In the midfle of india you wouldnt expect this. So many diverse cultures, buildings, statues, foods all in one place. French colonies ruled then us brits came into parts of india and ruled unto the indepence ot indoa. Love Hindus and Sikhs people. Love visiting temples, churches and places of historical interest. Nice vlog and intresting as per usual.🩷🥰🩷🌟👍
Thank you, Alan 🥰 but yes - that’s all so true!! There were so many places like this that really surprised me in India!! 😍 the next vlog is the same too, another really unique place!
You probably didnt even think much while writing this... But I cannot even express how good it felt to read something positive being said about us amongst a literal ocean of poisonous hatred and racism.
Me and my wife from Meghalaya spent our honeymoon here for a week, rented a royal Enfield from Chennai, love this area! Can't wait to visit again! Next time you come to India visit the northeast, the living root bridges are amazing!
Ahh that sounds amazing to have a bike in Pondicherry and be able to visit all the other beaches and stuff too! It is so nice there 😍 NE India is really high on my list!!! I’m trying to see if I can fit a trip in in October (when I have off work 🥰🤞)
That's a good time to visit, I would definitely recommend going a different route then most to show a different perspective to the area, PARVATI Temple, Boko, Assam and then drop down into Riangdo, our house is on route 10 not far from St. Joseph's Church, if you are looking for a place to stay we definitely have the hottest shower (maybe the only one,lol) in the area! Some of the most beautiful rice fields I have ever seen in that area. I have photos and some videos if you are interested. Hopefully when we retire 10-15 years we will open our homestay up.
Aww thank you 🥰 I did go to Delhi and Mumbai as well, but I prefer traveling to lesser known places. And India has so many amazing places to travel to! 😍
I am from Puducherry, such a lovely place. I miss them living in Canada now, but I will live back there in my old age days. Miss those street walk and foods.
Omg first time i am watching foreigner showing good and touristic places about India. Other influencers are just love to show poverty of India which is in very small portion of India
Beautiful city and temples are truly gorgeous there. In the northern region of India, the architectural style of temples is quite distinct. Additionally, Christianity in India is very different from that in the West, as it is heavily influenced by Hinduism here.
Thanks for showing India to the world. The way you record ur videos is very raw n original. Govt shld declare or sign you as a tourist ambassador to the west 🤔

Pondicherry City is one of the beautiful Cosmopolitan Coastal City of India with a fusion of French and Tamil Indian Architecture and Culture. In Pondicherry City you can taste Indian, French, Spanish, Italian and Vietnamese Cuisines. Here are bucket list destinations to explore in Pondicherry-(1) Paradise Beach (2) Serenity Beach (3) Veerampattinam Beach (4) Chunnambar Island (5) Bharati Government Park (6) Ousteri Lake (7) French War Memorial (8) Pondicherry Botanical Gardens. Pondicherry City is also popular for its Chocolates and Bakery Food Items. There is another such Coastal Town near Pondicherry City is Tharangambadi in neighboring Tamil Nadu State, which is known as Little Denmark in India with Danish Architectures. Cheers 😊
Never heard of this place - are you sure it is in India ? Look at the contrast - why can't they copy that to other cities, however...it looks so cool...Glad you are keeping well there Nat ...
Yessss - it’s definitely India! India is full of SO many amazing places like this aren’t people (myself included) don’t usually expect. It’s one of the reasons I had SUCH a great time exploring India!!! 😍
Thats the French quarter near the beach full of cafes and tourist traps and ashrams and commercial areas- with perfect parallel roads. You go outside that area - its another typical Indian city. I rented a scooter and explored the whole city.
Oh wow. It seems to be a great place. Being an Indian, ive never been there..Gosh...its so nice..I'd definitely will visit. Great vlog. I loved your Shimla video. My wife is from Shimla. I suppose you have visited many places in India..wasn't it difficult for you as a solo traveller? Lot of westerners often say it's not safe . I'm so sorry I asked many questions 😊
I had an amazing time in Shimla!! 😍 and yes, you definitely need to visit Pondicherry sometime!! I actually just posted a video about my experience in India ❤️
@@NataliesPassport I will definitely watch it. And obviously I will give it a thumbs up. What a coincidence that I asked those questions and you already had a video for it. Thank you. Hopefully it helps future traveller's coming to India..especially women.
Hi! Natalie.l knew u've been told to released some vid that explored India and post the latest Songkran festival collaboration vid in Thailand and wondering where were u now?take care ur self.❤❤❤
I was in India January-beginning of April. But I traveled to SO many places that I’m STILL editing videos from India 🙈😅 I moved back to Bangkok right before songkran! So now I’m living (and teaching) again in Bangkok 🥰 Bangkok still feels like home and I missed it the entire year I was gone!!!
Sorry 😭😭 I thought I was going to finish 2 weeks ago. But then I had a work trip (I'm teaching full time again), then when we got back I got the flu so I've done nothing for the last 5 days except feel terrible! I'm going to start working on my Fort Kochi vlog tomorrow 🥰
Visit meghlaya you see world wettest place, most beautiful waterfalls, cleanest river in Asia, blue lagoons, many canonys, rainforest, and kiving root bridge it is heaven ❤
Excatly at 4:48, when Natalie said, she doesn't know french, the next moment we see a board on the right side stating, "French classes" has anyone noticed that!!!😅
😱 oh wow that is surprising! I was also really surprised at how many random dry cities there were in India! And the cities without meat. I had no idea that was a thing until India lol
Surprising... Because you need a separate license to sell alcohol in India. Which is a completely separate thing and a completely different business...
I wish you all the best in your travels; however, Puducherry is not French India. It is merely a part of India that for, whatever reason, the French had control over.
@@NataliesPassport Stick with what you're doing because you're doing it well. At the cost of returning to an elementary error, French influence and French India are two different things. It would be like an Indian quarter in the USA being referred to as Indian America. Again, I wish you the very best.
@@sandeepjayaram9674 Hi Pondicherrian here. Puducherry was actually a part of French trading company (its headquarters actually) during the colonial era. Never a part of British India. We actually have a separate Independence Day and Republic Day. The liberation day is on November 1 (when the French government transferred the territories to Indian government) and Jour de transfer on Aug 16. Officially became part of Indian government in 1962. That’s why we are UT instead of states. So she is not entirely wrong when she said French India.
@@NataliesPassport they are Karikal further south of Puduchery in Tamil Nadu State, Yanam on the coast of Andhra Pradesh ( north of Chennai) and Mahe ( Kerala Coast) and Chandernagar in Bengal. Puduchery the biggest and the seat of French India. Rest are all small with not much French architecture to see and French culture residual. Mahe along Kerala Coast might interest as it’s small but compact. Karikal is even smaller with no real vestiges to see, and Yanam in Andhra Pradesh might have some ( although French tourists tend to go only to Puduchery) . Safe travels!
Yes, it’s full of traffic and it’s a part of life like any other countries have. Travelling isn’t what problems we have in life, travelling is about to find yourself and explore. Get educated bruh and I heard South Indians are educated. Sorry for you 😊
@@Backpackglobalvlogs dude I m from lajpat nagar, delhi. Kya faltu ki bakchodi hai? It's raining in delhi & there is traffic right now. Faltu ka bakwaas lga rakha he. baarish ho ri he aur traffic v he. Le Hindi me v bol diya.
@@Ninetieschillout you are full of complaining bruh baarish ho rhi h traffic bhi h look what did you comment on which videos. It’s about travelling so what are you u complaining for rain and traffic. Some travellers love rain and traffic too and some are not. So u mean in rainy season and traffic people shouldn’t travel why? Is there any high alert or any notifications by state government? Live a real life bruh. Peace ☮️
Actually 90% of my videos are just recorded on my iPhone (no microphone or anything). The headphone I’m wearing in the video is because I travel alone so I’m always listening to music 😅😅😅🤣❤️
I've been living in Pondicherry for the past 24 years. Such a wonderful place for leisure. How would you describe the place in 2 words?🤩Just want to hear from tourists.
Ahhh in two words?? I’m not sure 🙈 I really liked Pondicherry tho! Walking around there was so nice, plus the architecture and bakeries were amazing! 😍
It was a french colony and people here still can vote for elections in France...imagine if India had colonized some part of France in the past, with all Indian architecture set up, people speaking in indian language , how would the French respond ? I wonder.
@@NataliesPassportso true … ur video releases are like Christmas, would love to see ur vlogs more often. You should rather do longer raw videos with minimum editing
I'm not in India anymore - I'm back living and working in Bangkok. But I still have like 7 videos from my trip to India that I need to edit! I actually went to Himachal at the beginning of my 3 month India trip 😍
😅🙈😅 mmmm I cut my own hair lol. The only money I spend on my hair is getting keratin once or twice a year to keep it straighter. Which I had just done a week or so before this when I was in Delhi 🥰
Pondicherry has French cuisine influence, Goa has Portuguese cuisine influence. British colonized most of the India, but there is no British food influence. This says a lot about British cuisine.
Bengal specially kolkata have british food
Influence
Many hill stations like Shimla have british food influence
Then why you typing in English? Why not in French or Portuguese.
@@NikhilPanchal-ct3cv My comment is about food, not language. Stay on the topic.
🤣🤣🤣 that's so funny! Actually my mom's from England (I'm half British) and I would have to agree with you on the food 🙈❤️
@@NikhilPanchal-ct3cvenglish is language not a cuisine 😅
Puducherry is a hidden gem in India just like Charleston in South Carolina USA.
Auroville ashram is a great place near Puducherry.
I’ve actually never been to Charleston 😱😅 but I agree that Puducherry is such a hidden gem!! I’m so happy I got to see it as it was so unique!

What is noticeable is, it looks much cleaner that the big cities in India.
95% of indians don't have civic sense
A LOT of places in India look much cleaner than the big cities that most people show!!
Never heard of this place - are you sure it is in India ? Look at the contrast - why can't they copy that to other cities, however...it looks so cool...Glad you are keeping well there Nat ...
Because government is corrupt and inefficient, people are not so civilized to maintain those places
Yessss - it’s definitely India! India is full of SO many amazing places like this aren’t people (myself included) don’t usually expect. It’s one of the reasons I had SUCH a great time exploring India!!! 😍
Thats the French quarter near the beach full of cafes and tourist traps and ashrams and commercial areas- with perfect parallel roads.
You go outside that area - its another typical Indian city. I rented a scooter and explored the whole city.
The cathedral in the French town is a replica (a homage, more like) of Notre Dame of Paris.
It’s gorgeous!! 😍 I couldn’t believe how big it was!

You missed to capture the interiors of that church. It’s a French colonial beauty
I wish I could’ve seen it!! But I had no idea what was going on and I don’t like filming religious events as it could be something sensitive.
Visit meghlaya you see world wettest place, most beautiful waterfalls, cleanest river in Asia, blue lagoons, many canonys, rainforest, and kiving root bridge it is heaven ❤
I really want to go there! 😍
@@NataliesPassportyessss plsssss❤❤❤❤
Excatly at 4:48, when Natalie said, she doesn't know french, the next moment we see a board on the right side stating, "French classes" has anyone noticed that!!!😅
🙈😅 maybe if I stayed longer I could’ve taken a class or two 🤗
It isn’t required for you, Natalie, as you already have the knowledge of universal language 😊
U should also visit uk [ uttrakhand]
I’d love to one day! 😍
She stayed in Rishikesh for I think one month. Check her rishikesh vlog
Pondicherry had beer available in its Pizza Hut when I went last. Pretty uncommon for India.
😱 oh wow that is surprising! I was also really surprised at how many random dry cities there were in India! And the cities without meat. I had no idea that was a thing until India lol
Surprising... Because you need a separate license to sell alcohol in India. Which is a completely separate thing and a completely different business...
u must be talking abt Non-alcoholic ones I guess
@@sports-pirate Nope.
Englsh Gir you are So Lucky watching all India
🥰🥰🥰
Natalie is a beautiful soul.
Thank you 🥰
love u👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️
I like content you traveling around the world's
Thank youuu ❤️❤️ I’m so behind on editing tho 😭🥺
@@NataliesPassport so good
Nice video 😊
Thank you 🥰
If u eat. 1.plate idly and 1.plate poori with cost if 100rs full day u will not feel hungry and health also
Ohhh I love idly! 😍
The east coast is so weird with no sunset 😅
Lol I’m sure the sunrises would be amazing tho! 😍
I wish you all the best in your travels; however, Puducherry is not French India. It is merely a part of India that for, whatever reason, the French had control over.
I don’t know the reason either, but the French influence is still there which is really cool to see cuz I didn’t expect that in India! 😍
@@NataliesPassport Stick with what you're doing because you're doing it well. At the cost of returning to an elementary error, French influence and French India are two different things. It would be like an Indian quarter in the USA being referred to as Indian America. Again, I wish you the very best.

Hi
Pondicherrian here.
Puducherry was actually a part of French trading company (its headquarters actually) during the colonial era. Never a part of British India.
We actually have a separate Independence Day and Republic Day. The liberation day is on November 1 (when the French government transferred the territories to Indian government) and Jour de transfer on Aug 16. Officially became part of Indian government in 1962. That’s why we are UT instead of states. So she is not entirely wrong when she said French India.
My wife's hometown Pondicherry
Such a cool hometown! 😍 does she speak French?!
There are 2 other former French enclaves in India besides Puducherry
Ohh I’d love to see them too!
@@NataliesPassport
they are Karikal further south of Puduchery in Tamil Nadu State, Yanam on the coast of Andhra Pradesh ( north of Chennai) and Mahe ( Kerala Coast) and Chandernagar in Bengal.
Puduchery the biggest and the seat of French India. Rest are all small with not much French architecture to see and French culture residual. Mahe along Kerala Coast might interest as it’s small but compact. Karikal is even smaller with no real vestiges to see, and Yanam in Andhra Pradesh might have some ( although French tourists tend to go only to Puduchery) . Safe travels!
If you are still in india, thank god you are not in delhi today. It's raining and is full of traffic.
Her videos are too late like 2-3 months late
Yes, it’s full of traffic and it’s a part of life like any other countries have. Travelling isn’t what problems we have in life, travelling is about to find yourself and explore. Get educated bruh and I heard South Indians are educated. Sorry for you 😊
@@Backpackglobalvlogs dude I m from lajpat nagar, delhi. Kya faltu ki bakchodi hai? It's raining in delhi & there is traffic right now. Faltu ka bakwaas lga rakha he. baarish ho ri he aur traffic v he. Le Hindi me v bol diya.
@@Ninetieschillout you are full of complaining bruh baarish ho rhi h traffic bhi h look what did you comment on which videos. It’s about travelling so what are you u complaining for rain and traffic. Some travellers love rain and traffic too and some are not. So u mean in rainy season and traffic people shouldn’t travel why? Is there any high alert or any notifications by state government? Live a real life bruh. Peace ☮️
@@Backpackglobalvlogs Jaa be gawar kya moo lagu tere. Frustrated fellow. Abe Jaa. 👍
ayo we've got Vanessa Carlton's visit to India

I wanted to visit Bangalore, but I ran out of time 😭 hopefully one day! ❤️
@@NataliesPassport hopefully 🤞🏻next time for sure.
I am from pondicherry
Love it there 😍
Is it safe to visit pondicherry now
I would hope so?! When I was there it seemed SUPER safe! 😍
Just wondering when Pondy was unsafe?
❤
❤️❤️
Plz visit our Hyderabad city more than 400 years of great history 😊
I haven’t been there yet! Hopefully one day 🥰
When r u coming to Kerala?
My next video is from Kochi! 😍 another amazing city in India!!!
Which earbuds are you using to record your audio ?
Actually 90% of my videos are just recorded on my iPhone (no microphone or anything). The headphone I’m wearing in the video is because I travel alone so I’m always listening to music 😅😅😅🤣❤️
I've been living in Pondicherry for the past 24 years. Such a wonderful place for leisure. How would you describe the place in 2 words?🤩Just want to hear from tourists.
Ahhh in two words?? I’m not sure 🙈 I really liked Pondicherry tho! Walking around there was so nice, plus the architecture and bakeries were amazing! 😍
Visit portuguese colony in goa
Former** Portuguese colony
Not currently Portuguese Colony. Check yours fact. Goa is a State/Province of India.
Ohhh I went to Goa for a few days, but I don't think I saw that area! ❤️
13:21 It's Tamil not Hindi... Love the video btw!
Thank you 🥰
You should go to goa for beach life
I did spend a few days in Goa as well! 😍
It was a french colony and people here still can vote for elections in France...imagine if India had colonized some part of France in the past, with all Indian architecture set up, people speaking in indian language , how would the French respond ? I wonder.
😱 wow I had no idea people in Pondicherry could vote in France!! No idea how it would work viceversa, but I even find that shocking!
Hii
Can you please tell.me .hows the whether now, when did you actually visit pondicherry
I was there back in February actually 🙈 I’m just so behind on editing 😭
@@NataliesPassportso true … ur video releases are like Christmas, would love to see ur vlogs more often. You should rather do longer raw videos with minimum editing
Please visit Varanasi ❤
I did! It was one of the last stops during my trip 🥰
Natalie you are damn beautiful ❤️ 😍 i really like your accent ❤
Aww thank you 🥰🥰
You are still in india? I thought you after Himachal Pradesh vlog.
I'm not in India anymore - I'm back living and working in Bangkok. But I still have like 7 videos from my trip to India that I need to edit! I actually went to Himachal at the beginning of my 3 month India trip 😍
Next time you come mumbai please visit mahim church & bandra mount marry church
Ohhh I don’t think I visited either of those! Next time 🥰
@@NataliesPassport ok we will meet in bangkok
Hey Natalie, while the streets are cute, u are cuter!
😂
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Pondicherry, Puducherry, Chandannagar was French colony for so long.8:23 They could be gay couple.
I loved seeing the French influence there! 😍
What is your hair care tips … since you travel a lot
😅🙈😅 mmmm I cut my own hair lol. The only money I spend on my hair is getting keratin once or twice a year to keep it straighter. Which I had just done a week or so before this when I was in Delhi 🥰
@@NataliesPassport thanks . I am 15 yr old boy and due to hair fall issue thinking of shaving my head for good hair but it’s scary
Where your cape Lois Lane?
😅😅😅
