Hello Evelyn! I'm Georgeana and I'm getting ready for a new chapter in my life very soon. I came across your videos since I'm a huge fan of women who live life in unconventional ways. While I'm old enough to be your grandmother I'm young at heart, and appreciate your courage and teneacity. Keep focused! Be kind to yourself. But don't stop. I think you're smart and brave and you'll do just fine. Thank you for inspiring us all to live our true lives. Be safe! 💕
I really enjoy your content. Sometimes creating a community is more important than being picked up by the algorithm. Even though I really think more people should see what you’re doing here. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 😊
The changes you made in your space are so so lovely, they do make a difference ✨️ I feel like most youtubers will feel a bit disappointed when a video they worked hard for doesn't perform well. Your feelings are valid ❤ I think you're doing a fantastic job with you channel and I know it will keep on growing! Yay for greek mythology! Sending love from Greece 🇬🇷
thank youuu🥰 I've been feeling so much happier now that the space feels more cozy...when I started youtube a video not doing well would make me not want to make another video. But now that's no longer the case because you guys are here rooting for me. ily
Greetings from Berlin :-) Love this vlog! Feeling a little overwhelmed today and making a plan is always a good thing in this case. BTW i am here since the green walled room covid room makeover and its so nice seeing your videos doing so well! I guess so many people can relate to "breaking" out of a career. Im a few years older but do a second education as a software developer now bc its a passion. Best decision in a long time, after many years just working.
I remember your comment on that video!! Thank you for being here since the very start. That's so brave of you to invest in a second education + career change. All the best
small changes to a space, including just tidying up, make such a huge difference. i did that last night with my art supplies. :) seeing you set goals for the last quarter of the year was low key really inspiring cuz at this point of the year i just give up and just wait it out until the new year but there's no reason we change make progress or changes now. thank you! :D
I love your videos :) I love your honesty in each video! Would you consider doing a bookshop/ coffee shop crawl in your local area , or a neighbourhood you enjoy? especially in the autumn that would be really nice to see if you felt like doing something like that? have a lovely day :)
I think you'll love Berlin! I'm from the Netherlands, so still couple hours from Berlin, but have friends there and been many times. What I've seen from you on your channel, Instagram and knowing we're the same age and pretty similar personality (I'm infj), I think you'll absolutely love it too! Excited to follow your journey☺️✨
Thank you🫶 I feel like how I make a video really comes through the screen, so I want to keep the energy positive for you and for me…thanks for being here✨
I love your content and the cozy atmosphere you create in your videos. I just wanted to mention, as a fellow cat lover, that essential oils and candles can be harmful to cats. Cats are sensitive to certain scents and chemicals, and they lack certain enzymes needed to metabolize these substances. So, it might be a good idea to exercise caution when using these items around your cats to ensure their well-being. Thanks for understanding!
hey, you'll be okay. whatever you put your mind and soul into, a Higher power notices that and will grant you the strength and blessings to have it become fruitful. love ya!
I think by this time of the year we all kind of need a reset in some way. Personally I am feeling really burnt out lately (mostly because of work) and I have been wondering how to change that so I can really enjoy the rest of the year and be overall healthier. Your vlogs are so human and heartwarming. Thank you for working so hard to share your moments here, it is a pleasure watch them. ♥
Usually fall is “I’m so far off from the plans I made earlier the year, but it’s so close to next year so maybe just give up and wait?” season for me…but no! We are here to make every day count. I hope you feel recharged and ready to take on the rest of 2023 now✨
And I am just sitting here in Taipei, currently on a 1 month vacation, thinking about if its a cool idea to move here for a year or so and work here while studying mandarin with a bit more dedication. Same thoughts, if I don't do anything about it now it will surely not happen later (I live in Hamburg, Germany btw) I was doing my master thesis and also had a PhD position secured at Sichuan University when the pandemic started and instead of spending 3-4 years in China it was only 3 months. Since then I was really struggling to keep up any motivation for my language studies. But Taiwan is also awesome so far and got 3 more weeks here to make up my mind. Also I think it's totally fine to take your time with the vlogs, rushing out content will cause a lot of stress and probably you will also be less happy with the content you create I imagine. What I like most is that you stayed true to yourself through all the time you have been making videos and the content still has the same vibes as when I subscribed at
I enjoyed your vlog! One mindset i found helpful myself is to Focus on the Process and no on the End Results. For example, the end result of getting views or getting picked up by the algorithm is out of your control. However what is within your control is your processes and how you can continue to grow in them; you may find yourself learning how to edit a video in shorter time or learning better uses of lighting. Those achievements in process are small wins worth celebrating!
Hi ! I discovered your channel recently because a french Illustrator on RUclips talked about your vlogs and your channel. She is actually living in Berlin, so I thought it was a nice coincidence that you are considering moving there ! I love your content, wish you all the best 🌠
I've been living in Munich for the past 3 years (Originally from the US) and have some advice/caution for you! Definitely liked Berlin after a visit as it's more artsy, modern a little more diverse. But the language barrier is definitely a struggle as well as the weather (California girl who was used to sunshine year round). Although Berlin is more english friendly than other German cities I feel like it's essential to be close to fluent to live in germany contently haha I only know enough just to get by. It's been quite hard to make friendships and definitely challenging to find a job in marketing and especially freelance/be self employed if you're not a citizen and don't speak a higher level of german. The administrative things are THE WORST here as most things need to be done in person, in german, and through snail mail. All this to say...we're looking to move away as soon as the opportunity presents itself. If you are still considering Berlin, I'd recommend visiting for a longer period if you can, to really get a feel for the city, local life, colder weather and the culture. If you're looking into another city in Europe to move to, I'd recommend Lisbon, Portugal! Friendly people, english friendly, and I think it's easier to get a digital nomad visa over there.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm definitely nervous about moving to Berlin without knowing any German. I'm from a colder part of China and have been through some tough winters, but still, not excited about the 5 months of gloom. tbh the part I'm most nervous about is self employment. as much as admin tasks stress me out now, it would be so much worse in a country I've never been to, and in a language I don't know. A big part of my goal for the rest of the year is to figure out how to get around some of those things. Will keep you posted. Thanks again!
Great advice, even as a European (Lithuania), I struggled during my 5 years living in the south of Germany. Not to discourage Evelyn! Berlin is for sure the best city for internationals in Germany. Amsterdam could also be a good idea, Dutch speak amazing english and the country is pretty modern in terms of bureaucracy as far as I've heard. Whatever you choose, there'll be a lot of opportunities for growth, I'm sure :)
I'm feeling kinda sad and I was just finishing my journaling session, then I saw you posted a new video! It honestly makes me feel better - like a little lighter. Ok I'm gonna resume watching the video. Love you!!
Omg that would be so amazing if you moved to Berlin! As a fellow international that now calls Berlin home(moved in 2017), I think you would definitely love it here, but it’s true that Germany can also be a bit hard to navigate at first due to the bureaucracy and the language. Would be be happy to answer any questions you have! Thank you so much for everything you do- love your cosy and relaxed videos!
Waking up to an Evelyn vlog first thing in the morning is the perfect start to a great day!! Thank you for bringing us along on your journey, I love your videos and am always looking forward to them!
I have been binge watching your content because I find them so relatable as a content creator myself. Also it’s cool to hear that you’re thinking of moving to Berlin, I moved to Berlin few years ago and absolutely love it. Maybe I will run into you at a cafe someday
glad you could relate...even though I've been making videos for 4 years I still feel so new to the industry. So much to learn! Happy to hear you are loving Berlin...I'm a bit nervous about the move tbh, but also looking forward to it. Perhaps we'll run into each other in Berlin:)
Would love to see an update this year on how a week in your life changes as a content creator and organizing tasks for the week. ❤ Creativity is about that first btw, the rest will follow.
Working on an update! It's interesting to see how my workflow changes...I feel like after leaving my job I take more of an ownership of my own time, and have definitely become more intentional about it. Learned so much about time management over the past few months. Can't wait to share with you!
I hear you! I was self employed most of my adult life (health stuff last few years, work is on pause). It is amazing how our entire week is dictated by our jobs as employees - there is a lot of freedom in being self employed, but also a steep learning curve. I am glad you are learning what works for you and remember it will change over time too! @@tapiocapress
I love your vlogs so much. You are so honest and cool and your videos are very stylish and relaxing to watch. Your videos inspire me a lot to try new things and persevere. Your content is amazing and your transparency is so refreshing. Sending lots of support!!
i really love your channel! it inspires me to get my life together as well, and i love that you go in depth with real life things like accountants, taxes, etc. i feel like i grow with every video i watch of yours. can't wait for all your future videos!
I love your videos. I quit my job in February and am now fulltime freelancing as an illustrator and designer which stressed me out so much in the first months. I moved to a relatively cheap European country in order to not spend all the money I earn (which is definitely less than during my job) and even managing to save some money now. I am stressed from time to time but watching your videos definitely calms me down and I know that I am so much happier than I used to be when I couldn't enjoy my weekends and used to count the hours I had till the working week begins again.
so happy for you! proud of you for taking the big step, and making an incoming doing what you love. I remember the Sunday blues...Feel so lucky it's no longer in my life (hopefully it stays this way). all the best on your journey!
Oh I’m so curious about a pricing strategy, that would be so interesting to see how you develop that. I don’t even have a RUclips but who knows where else in life those skills could be applied.
I really enjoyed hearing about your plans goals for the rest of the year✨. It’s inspiring to see you taking steps to improve and make positive changes in your life🍃. Good luck beautiful!🌸
To begin, I intend to dedicate the remaining part of the year to focus on improving my mental well-being. I've noticed that although I experience moments of happiness, there are times when I feel extremely low. I've realized that during these down periods, I don't allow myself enough mental rest, even though I do take physical breaks. These two days have been tough, especially due to the loss of Matthew Perry. It's strange how someone I've never met could affect me so deeply. (Yes, I watched all 10 seasons of Friends, and he was my favorite character.) Amidst my sadness, I've been attempting to get back into reading, so I decided to read his book. Regarding your desire to post more on RUclips, I want to share something related, yet slightly different. I used to have best friends with whom I would talk every single day, and that felt normal to me. However, as we've grown older, I've come to realize that we don't necessarily need to communicate daily. It took me a while to adapt to this change, but it's okay for each of us to pursue our own activities and then come back to check up on one another or discuss life, ya know? So, I suppose what I'm trying to convey is that it's alright if you don't post consistently or miss a day or two - just like with friends, we will be happy to hear from you whenever you decide to share. Don't over stress (like me, haha)!
Despite my sadness, I found a glimmer of happiness by booking another flight back to Guangzhou next month, so yay, I have something else to look forward to. I consider myself fortunate to have the opportunity to 'escape' whenever, to have a change of scenery, even if it's just for a few days. I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. So, for Berlin, I'd say, got for it!
Just found your channel and I'm in almost exactly the same situation, down to qutting the same job. Just a year older and from a different country, looking forward to see your journey!
Love your vlogs, such a safe space❤ I know staying consistent on YT is not always the easiest and I definitely know the struggle when your videos don’t perform well… it can be defeating at times. How great is it though to have a community to support you. It’s refreshing to see your content, actually motivated me when I’ve been feeling a bit burnt out so thank you. Also enjoy Japan, I’m so excited for you so many good vegan options in Tokyo 😍
Hello from just over the border in HK. One thing to remember 'it is not what you know, it is who you know'... so professionals like lawyers and accountants is the great way to deal with all the red tape we have to do. Good luck, love your channel so just keep being you. 😉
thank you so much! honestly learning to deal with admin has been so stressful...I'm starting to appreciate having legal and HR deal with all of that back in corporate. but very grateful lawyers and accountants are there to help!
@@tapiocapress Part of my work is dealing with that side of the business and not a fan but that is just part of the job. Once I get that done then I go back to the parts i like doing. 😁
I found your channel yesterday and I'm currently in the process of binge watching all your content! I love your style of videos and they are so calming and chill
Hellow :3 as a german viewer I can say that Germany feels very comfortable to me. Healthcare is free and the living standarts are quite good. Also Berlin is avery artsy and interesting city. But I do have to say that Germany, especially for foreigners, also has its downsides. It's not very cheap and there is administrative paperwork for EVERYTHING, usually in german, so it can be quite hard to manage all of the settling-in-tasks. Also, depending on the city, people can be rather reserved. In Berlin they are quite open though. The german language is rather hard to learn but if you have friends who speak german and can help you with your paperwork, you'll be up to a great start :3 in the big cities, most of the people speak english, especially young people because it's mandatory in school. Overall, I just wish you the best and hope you find a nice and artsy and exciting place to live at next! Ohh, one last tjing: I can very much recommend Barcelona. It's very international, has a big art scene, cute cafes and is less expensive :333
Just found your channel and this video was so nice! Loved hearing about your goals, and excited to follow along for the journey 😊 is your cat a British shorthair? Want to see her(?) more! 😁🥰
I'm really new at your channel, but you make me feel so comfortable und calm while watching your videos. And it would be so cool if you would move to berlin. I'm also living here und if your in the right district, you would love it! 🤍
as a fellow corporate dropout that started a youtube channel, you are sooo inspiring! can relate a lot with your day in the life ☺️ thank you for sharing
I‘m from germany but i live in munich and currently im traveling trough japan😅. I think you would like it in berlin, it‘s a city for creatives and vegan food😊and it’s extremly multicultural so can work in hip coffee shop without any german knowledge. For me it’s a bit to loud and crowded but that’s probably nothing compared to beijing. But it gotten a lot more expensive in the last few years and i know from friends it’s very hard to find an appartment. I can’t wait to follow you along in your videos❤
Wow, big step about moving to Germany! Id say go visit first to get an impression, but that is a big extra expense 😅 Berlin is lovely btw, and price wise not too expensive compared to everything around it. Lovely video ❤️ thanks for the relaxing content ☺️
Thanks for sharing! I feel very differently about moving abroad this time because it's not "for school" or "for work", it's simply because I want to. Although traveling around a few cities before deciding on one to move to is a great idea, I most likely won't get do it because of my cat...I would also highly recommend it tho, if you have the opportunity!
I think moving to Berlin will be a great idea you won't regret! Berlin is a city kinda different from other German cities and very friendly to internationals. It's the first city I stayed in Germany and I really loved it!! Currently I'm living in the very south of Germany though, a beautiful small town at Bodensee called Konstanz. Anyway I'm sure even if you don't know anyone in Germany yet you will definitely make lots of new friends in Berlin. Looking forward to your updates!!
thanks so much for sharing! Berlin being an international + young city is definitely a huge attraction for me...Very excited to check out the art scene and startup community. Can't wait to start a new chapter there! All the best in Konstanz:)
Yoo those are some sick videos!! Keep up on the great work!! I wanna move somewhere else too haha, for change of sceneries. Can't wait to see your next adventure!
I have heard about the housing market in Berlin and honestly, feel a bit stressed...but it's so hard to find a perfect place (if there is one at all!) I'm open to seeing how life unfolds✨
Viele Grüße aus Berlin. Ü Based on your videos so far, I think you're going to have a great time in Berlin. There are so many places that have vibe similars to yours.
Sounds like exciting and challenging times ahead ! Instead of Japan , why not stay in Berlin for a month or two to see if staying long term is a right fit for you ? Hope you'll do some live streaming either here or on TT .
would love to travel to Berlin for a month, but since I became a cat mom it's been so hard to leave home for longer periods of time...I think Berlin is a great landing point for Europe. If it turns out not to be the right fit, it'll be easier to move around from there, hopefully!
Just visited Berlin in May. It's a modern city with long history, super cool~I think one of the biggest challenges of moving to Europe is that people there don't speak English...felt kinda detached with the locals.
Going through the administrative tasks n bureaucracy is def a pain. Good luck n always good to seek professional help:) I’m dealing with the European ones here n I literally had some burnouts…for butternut squashes , I use them to make pie or roast them, season with cumins n paprika, then pair them with cooked polenta:) it’s super comforting haha. Love your videos n you should too. They are perfect ❤ you are so productive ❤️
Watching this eating a buffalo chickpea sandwich from a Pick Up Limes recipe as well haha, I'm not vegan but I am trying to eat a lot less meat and their recipes are great. That soup looked delicious!
that sounds so yummy! I've been making lots of PUL soups/noodles for the fall...their food really feels healing and nourishing✨for those who haven't heard of PUL you can find them @PickUpLimes
Is that cute grey top the 100% wool one from Uniqlo? If so, snap, I bought the same one not long ago! I love it haha. I felt like I had to mention it as seeing it is just one of the many synchronicities I notice in your videos (one that sticks in my mind is you going to HK literally just after the mask mandate lifted, which is exactly when I went!). Anyway, thank you for another cosy and resonant video. I only discovered your channel a few weeks ago but I’m really enjoying everything you’ve put out and it leaves me feeling inspired. Oh, today I also learned we have the same microwave…I guess our taste is impeccable…😅
I think you should use some dish washing gloves for doing the dishes. Constant exposure of that cleaning solution on skin can lead to dryness, cracking etc in the long run.
Looks like you are good to go on books for the remainder of the year. :) I might check out a few of those myself! Have you read 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad?' It is a good read (arguably a MUST read) for people who are starting down the journey of entrepreneurship, going from 'employee' mindset to 'business owner' mindset... You really seem to be making a turn towards making more of a business model out of what you are doing now, while focusing in on finding ways to enjoy yourself as you do it. Congratulations! Showing creativity from the cookie business to the youtube business!
Thanks so much for the book rec Adam! I just finished listening to the your money or your life audio book on Libby (literally just finished yesterday). Will listen to rich dad poor dad next! You are absolutely right, mindset change is so important…learning something new every day!

Hope you are enjoying a cozy fall wherever you are🍁
Loving the content Evelyn, and it's so inspiring to watch your journey!
12:28 I can’t speak for everyone, but I personally think that sounds like a lot of fun. I’d watch for sure.
Would love to see an update this year on how a week in your life changes as a content creator and organizing tasks for the week. ❤ Creativity is about that first btw, the rest will follow.
Working on an update! It's interesting to see how my workflow changes...I feel like after leaving my job I take more of an ownership of my own time, and have definitely become more intentional about it. Learned so much about time management over the past few months. Can't wait to share with you!
I hear you! I was self employed most of my adult life (health stuff last few years, work is on pause). It is amazing how our entire week is dictated by our jobs as employees - there is a lot of freedom in being self employed, but also a steep learning curve. I am glad you are learning what works for you and remember it will change over time too! @@tapiocapress
I love your vlogs so much. You are so honest and cool and your videos are very stylish and relaxing to watch. Your videos inspire me a lot to try new things and persevere. Your content is amazing and your transparency is so refreshing. Sending lots of support!!
i really love your channel! it inspires me to get my life together as well, and i love that you go in depth with real life things like accountants, taxes, etc. i feel like i grow with every video i watch of yours. can't wait for all your future videos!
I love your videos. I quit my job in February and am now fulltime freelancing as an illustrator and designer which stressed me out so much in the first months. I moved to a relatively cheap European country in order to not spend all the money I earn (which is definitely less than during my job) and even managing to save some money now. I am stressed from time to time but watching your videos definitely calms me down and I know that I am so much happier than I used to be when I couldn't enjoy my weekends and used to count the hours I had till the working week begins again.
so happy for you! proud of you for taking the big step, and making an incoming doing what you love. I remember the Sunday blues...Feel so lucky it's no longer in my life (hopefully it stays this way). all the best on your journey!
"Fall is when my plan falls apart" 100% relelatable LOL 😂
hahaha it's that time of the year!
So glad to see your life getting to a better place all along ❤
thank you for coming along with me
Oh I’m so curious about a pricing strategy, that would be so interesting to see how you develop that. I don’t even have a RUclips but who knows where else in life those skills could be applied.
I really enjoyed hearing about your plans goals for the rest of the year✨. It’s inspiring to see you taking steps to improve and make positive changes in your life🍃. Good luck beautiful!🌸
tysm🫶 making videos about those goals really help me take action towards them…thank you for being a part of the journey✨
To begin, I intend to dedicate the remaining part of the year to focus on improving my mental well-being. I've noticed that although I experience moments of happiness, there are times when I feel extremely low. I've realized that during these down periods, I don't allow myself enough mental rest, even though I do take physical breaks. These two days have been tough, especially due to the loss of Matthew Perry. It's strange how someone I've never met could affect me so deeply. (Yes, I watched all 10 seasons of Friends, and he was my favorite character.) Amidst my sadness, I've been attempting to get back into reading, so I decided to read his book.
Regarding your desire to post more on RUclips, I want to share something related, yet slightly different. I used to have best friends with whom I would talk every single day, and that felt normal to me. However, as we've grown older, I've come to realize that we don't necessarily need to communicate daily. It took me a while to adapt to this change, but it's okay for each of us to pursue our own activities and then come back to check up on one another or discuss life, ya know? So, I suppose what I'm trying to convey is that it's alright if you don't post consistently or miss a day or two - just like with friends, we will be happy to hear from you whenever you decide to share. Don't over stress (like me, haha)!
Despite my sadness, I found a glimmer of happiness by booking another flight back to Guangzhou next month, so yay, I have something else to look forward to. I consider myself fortunate to have the opportunity to 'escape' whenever, to have a change of scenery, even if it's just for a few days. I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. So, for Berlin, I'd say, got for it!
Take it slowly and enjoy the journey. Love your content. Here to support you 💕
Appreciate you🫶✨
Thanks for making the video! 🙂Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching💕
I loved this video ❤
glad you enjoyed it🫶✨
Just found your channel and I'm in almost exactly the same situation, down to qutting the same job. Just a year older and from a different country, looking forward to see your journey!
Thank you for being you! Your persona and energy are amazing! Also thank you for the book talk-I wanna read before the coffee gets cold now! :)
Love your vlogs, such a safe space❤ I know staying consistent on YT is not always the easiest and I definitely know the struggle when your videos don’t perform well… it can be defeating at times. How great is it though to have a community to support you. It’s refreshing to see your content, actually motivated me when I’ve been feeling a bit burnt out so thank you. Also enjoy Japan, I’m so excited for you so many good vegan options in Tokyo 😍
so so grateful for you guys
Hello from just over the border in HK. One thing to remember 'it is not what you know, it is who you know'... so professionals like lawyers and accountants is the great way to deal with all the red tape we have to do. Good luck, love your channel so just keep being you. 😉
thank you so much! honestly learning to deal with admin has been so stressful...I'm starting to appreciate having legal and HR deal with all of that back in corporate. but very grateful lawyers and accountants are there to help!
@@tapiocapress Part of my work is dealing with that side of the business and not a fan but that is just part of the job. Once I get that done then I go back to the parts i like doing. 😁
@@robertmcrostie that's a great mindset! All the best:)
I love your videos so much! I’m so glad I found your channel, it’s been so inspiring and just such a comfort. Keep doing you!!!
thank you🥰
I found your channel yesterday and I'm currently in the process of binge watching all your content! I love your style of videos and they are so calming and chill
Hellow :3 as a german viewer I can say that Germany feels very comfortable to me. Healthcare is free and the living standarts are quite good. Also Berlin is avery artsy and interesting city. But I do have to say that Germany, especially for foreigners, also has its downsides. It's not very cheap and there is administrative paperwork for EVERYTHING, usually in german, so it can be quite hard to manage all of the settling-in-tasks. Also, depending on the city, people can be rather reserved. In Berlin they are quite open though. The german language is rather hard to learn but if you have friends who speak german and can help you with your paperwork, you'll be up to a great start :3 in the big cities, most of the people speak english, especially young people because it's mandatory in school. Overall, I just wish you the best and hope you find a nice and artsy and exciting place to live at next! Ohh, one last tjing: I can very much recommend Barcelona. It's very international, has a big art scene, cute cafes and is less expensive :333
Love your blog, Evelyn! Berlin is a great place if you can afford it.
Just found your channel and this video was so nice! Loved hearing about your goals, and excited to follow along for the journey 😊 is your cat a British shorthair? Want to see her(?) more! 😁🥰
Really enjoy your videos! Very interesting and thought provoking. Excited to follow you on your new adventures and self-discovery!
I'm really new at your channel, but you make me feel so comfortable und calm while watching your videos.
And it would be so cool if you would move to berlin. I'm also living here und if your in the right district, you would love it! 🤍
as a fellow corporate dropout that started a youtube channel, you are sooo inspiring! can relate a lot with your day in the life ☺️ thank you for sharing
oh! and as a digital marketer / brand person, I’m happy to talk KPIs ☺️
would you actually😍 could you please send me a DM? Would love to connect (which reminds me I need to checked DMs...so bad at it) tysm
Loving your vlog! Please dont stress yourself out with the content you produce, just do you and ur audience will find u.
this made me feel like I need to do some cleaning
Haha there you go! ~Influenced~ to start a fall reset😉 good luck!
YESSS love this and you
❤️❤️❤️
I‘m from germany but i live in munich and currently im traveling trough japan😅. I think you would like it in berlin, it‘s a city for creatives and vegan food😊and it’s extremly multicultural so can work in hip coffee shop without any german knowledge. For me it’s a bit to loud and crowded but that’s probably nothing compared to beijing. But it gotten a lot more expensive in the last few years and i know from friends it’s very hard to find an appartment. I can’t wait to follow you along in your videos❤
Wow! Love that shelf. I'm looking for something similar for my tiny kitchen. Where is it from, if I may ask? :)
Wow, big step about moving to Germany! Id say go visit first to get an impression, but that is a big extra expense 😅 Berlin is lovely btw, and price wise not too expensive compared to everything around it.
Lovely video ❤️ thanks for the relaxing content ☺️
Thanks for sharing! I feel very differently about moving abroad this time because it's not "for school" or "for work", it's simply because I want to. Although traveling around a few cities before deciding on one to move to is a great idea, I most likely won't get do it because of my cat...I would also highly recommend it tho, if you have the opportunity!
I love your videos so much! Keep going! I'm rooting for you to grow your channel ❤
I think moving to Berlin will be a great idea you won't regret! Berlin is a city kinda different from other German cities and very friendly to internationals. It's the first city I stayed in Germany and I really loved it!! Currently I'm living in the very south of Germany though, a beautiful small town at Bodensee called Konstanz. Anyway I'm sure even if you don't know anyone in Germany yet you will definitely make lots of new friends in Berlin. Looking forward to your updates!!
thanks so much for sharing! Berlin being an international + young city is definitely a huge attraction for me...Very excited to check out the art scene and startup community. Can't wait to start a new chapter there! All the best in Konstanz:)
Loving your content !!! Best of luck ☀
where did you get you tear off calendar from? brings back memories from my childhood, they're not that common in the states, love your videos!
Yoo those are some sick videos!! Keep up on the great work!! I wanna move somewhere else too haha, for change of sceneries. Can't wait to see your next adventure!
Come to Germany 😊 no doubt you'll have a great time in Berlin! Hope everything goes well for you regardless of your goals!
thank you!! that's really reassuring to hear
I love your vlogs! I am from Europe, life has become sooo expensive here, I'm not sure I would recommend moving here 😔
I have heard about the housing market in Berlin and honestly, feel a bit stressed...but it's so hard to find a perfect place (if there is one at all!) I'm open to seeing how life unfolds✨
love ur content keep doing what ur doing ❤
Viele Grüße aus Berlin. Ü
Based on your videos so far, I think you're going to have a great time in Berlin. There are so many places that have vibe similars to yours.
Very interested to see the build up before living overseas! (I'm in a similar boat)
heyyy, could you show more about your city? sending you good energies from Brazil 🤍
Sounds like exciting and challenging times ahead ! Instead of Japan , why not stay in Berlin for a month or two to see if staying long term is a right fit for you ?
Hope you'll do some live streaming either here or on TT .
would love to travel to Berlin for a month, but since I became a cat mom it's been so hard to leave home for longer periods of time...I think Berlin is a great landing point for Europe. If it turns out not to be the right fit, it'll be easier to move around from there, hopefully!
Just visited Berlin in May. It's a modern city with long history, super cool~I think one of the biggest challenges of moving to Europe is that people there don't speak English...felt kinda detached with the locals.
Lovely video - Hello from Denmark ❤️
If you feel like moving abroad, go for it! Honestly if I had a university degree, I'd not hesitate and I'd move to Asia!
early!! have a good fall :-)
Thank youuu! hope you are enjoying fall too🍂✨
positive comment for the algorithm
Going through the administrative tasks n bureaucracy is def a pain. Good luck n always good to seek professional help:) I’m dealing with the European ones here n I literally had some burnouts…for butternut squashes , I use them to make pie or roast them, season with cumins n paprika, then pair them with cooked polenta:) it’s super comforting haha. Love your videos n you should too. They are perfect ❤ you are so productive ❤️
Good luck with your admin tasks! I love butternut squash…you are giving me some really ideas haha
A shout-out to pickuplimes?! I love it!
Watching this eating a buffalo chickpea sandwich from a Pick Up Limes recipe as well haha, I'm not vegan but I am trying to eat a lot less meat and their recipes are great. That soup looked delicious!
that sounds so yummy! I've been making lots of PUL soups/noodles for the fall...their food really feels healing and nourishing✨for those who haven't heard of PUL you can find them @PickUpLimes
Love your content ❤ You’re doing great! 加油!
Thank you so much✨谢谢🥰
Wdym better viewing experience. You alone is the best view alreadyyyyy 😅
Wish i was there to help you out..Great content EVELYN
do you still do the cookie things?
Thanks for asking! I’m taking a break from cookies for now to recover from burnout… but I am thinking of ways to share recipes with you! Stay tuned:)
💜💜💜
Hi Evelyn, can you share with us how you film and how you edit your videos? What kind of equipment do you use? Thanks!
Making a “how I edit” video for you! (I know I’ve been saying it forever) but I have it in my planner for late Nov/early Dec. stay tuned:)
Check Barcelona it’s easy to be legal and weather is amazing beach food
Barcelona is one of my top places to visit once I move to Europe! Would love to visit and see if it feels like home
Hope u can move to Berlin and show us your life there 😊
Is that cute grey top the 100% wool one from Uniqlo? If so, snap, I bought the same one not long ago! I love it haha.
I felt like I had to mention it as seeing it is just one of the many synchronicities I notice in your videos (one that sticks in my mind is you going to HK literally just after the mask mandate lifted, which is exactly when I went!). Anyway, thank you for another cosy and resonant video. I only discovered your channel a few weeks ago but I’m really enjoying everything you’ve put out and it leaves me feeling inspired. Oh, today I also learned we have the same microwave…I guess our taste is impeccable…😅
Hahaha that’s crazy! I think it is the Uniqlo one😂 and I’ve had that microwave for years and love it so much! Twins!
Hello! I will be visiting Guangzhou next week. Do you have recommendations on accommodation as I would like to save some money from that
omg it was the cat that was snoring 😭
it was actually the pug 😉 her name is Baozi. I didn't realize she was so loud haha
Hi Evelyn, can you also let us more about how to immigrate to Berlin? What kind of visa do you need to get to move there? Thanks!
Will share more about that as i figure things out! Thanks for asking:)
I think you will like Berlin. 😊
I think so too! I heard it’s in some ways similar to Beijing…excited to experience the city!
@@tapiocapress now that makes me curious about Beijing. I need to watch your old vids.
I think you should use some dish washing gloves for doing the dishes. Constant exposure of that cleaning solution on skin can lead to dryness, cracking etc in the long run.
Looks like you are good to go on books for the remainder of the year. :) I might check out a few of those myself!
Have you read 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad?'
It is a good read (arguably a MUST read) for people who are starting down the journey of entrepreneurship, going from 'employee' mindset to 'business owner' mindset... You really seem to be making a turn towards making more of a business model out of what you are doing now, while focusing in on finding ways to enjoy yourself as you do it. Congratulations! Showing creativity from the cookie business to the youtube business!
Thanks so much for the book rec Adam! I just finished listening to the your money or your life audio book on Libby (literally just finished yesterday). Will listen to rich dad poor dad next! You are absolutely right, mindset change is so important…learning something new every day!
❤❤❤
