Is this HIM? 😍😂
@@allyhvis6046 imagine 😂
GURL THIS IS LIKE A WATTPAD STORY IM- 😭😭
omg hi jade i wuv u! hope u and ur family is well
The bad boy from Slovenia and the good girl jade...
@@jiya1042 LMAOOOO
Haha ikr
Damn right
I love this, feels like girl talk with a friend
My ‘casual’ gap year travel fling turned into a now 3 year relationship and moving to Canada to live with him! 😂😂😂 turns out I’m not very good at keeping it casual!!
MY HEART SQUEALED
That’s amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes girl🤩🤩
Girl wow I wish you all the best in life
Oh my goodness!! I'm exactly the same! Summer 2017! Working on getting PR now!
low key thought she was about to come out as lesbian when she said she got to know those girls really well
Bahahahha me too
SAME LOL
God I wish
.... or bisexual
SAMEEE
To all the girls & boys : DO NOT GHOST people , JUST be honest & tell them that the conversation won't go any further !! Do NOT make them wait for ages
me reading this comment after leaving a hella creepy guy on read : 👁👄👁
lmao I'm way too lazy to do that with every person. I just warn em that I get detached very easily so they are prepared n das it
@@georgiefarrington if they're creepy and they make you feel uncomfortable, that's a good idea in my opinion 😳
Jade :: when I was in the south of France solo traveling I saw a really cute french guy at a bus stop, and I went to great lengths to get him my number (the bus arrived before I could) and we eventually had a lovely evening together but I was leaving for paris the next day so I said au revoir forever but he kept texting me french things like “now that I know you exist I don’t know how to go on living my life” etc so on my last day in europe I booked him a spontaneous flight to paris and we spent the night galavanting around town and kissing at the Eiffel Tower. Eventually we got married, steps away from where we met. SOLO TRAVEL LOVE STORIES THAT ARE CINEMATIC DO ACTUALLY HAPPEN EVERYONE! So once quarantine is lifted go out there and see who there is to meet. You never know who’s waiting at a bus stop for you.
OH MY GOD THIS 🥺🥺🥺
Oh my god that is amazing!! It sounds like a Disney story🥺🥺
Omg I want ur life
What !! Omg
this sounds like Before Sunrise omg
This was absolutely riveting
@Imaan Zahra lolololololololololololol
Seeing Ali here, I don't feel as bad as I did, about procrastinating on youtube rn xD
Brother it is a haraam story
why have i immediately imagined Ali watching this video on a 2x speed
Alice obviously I did
literally so shocked it was 2 YEARS SINCE YOU WENT ON A GAP YEAR. feels like yesterday ??? holy moly thats crazy
my single, romance free ass watching this like :)))))))))))))))))) - all jokes aside tho i have waited for you to tell this story!!! my one travel fling also lasted a grand total of 24 hours and ended exactly how yours did but it wasn't quite as romantic and movie-like hahaha
I relate haha
To have a one night stand means to sin!
I already love the Swedish girls and I don’t know them
when jade said he travelled across the country to just spend 1 more day with her...MY HEART JUST HAPPY-CRIED🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
😭😭
I mean maybe he did not "only do it for her". He probably also enjoyed having an adventure. :)
Reminds me of the novel “Just One Day.”
The sun is also a star
Because of you Jade I found out about DiscoverEU and won a ticket last year. I travelled through Eastern Europe and met a guy in Budapest who I’m now together with for 10 months! Please do more storytelling on your trips 🌻
Holy crap that's cool!
Relly from Budapest? I am from here but honestly I have never thought we are so open. I am glad to you.
Róza Bodor he was from Germany
@@svg1768 than I knew it well😅
Oooh how did you meet?
Jade at 18: Solo travelling across Europe, kissing men under the stars, meeting new people
Me at 18: Too scared to walk from my house to the bus stop
I can relate haha! But we gotta start somewhere, right? We all mature at different paces :) but do adventure out of your comfort zone!
This is just GOALS really isn’t it
I agree
Innit
“and that children, is how I met your mother...” HONESTLY THOUGH JADE THAT ANECDOTE WAS IN ANOTHER LEVEL 💝
Major kudos for taking openly about sex and virginity at the end. There was no shame or embarrassment, just straight up facts. I honestly needed that when I was a teen.
I actually didn't understand... sorry if I'm gonna sound too straightforward, did Jade have sex (therefore she lost her virginity) or not?
@@solbaatyr3340 no
Jade: it was like I was in a movie
me: BEFORE SUNRISE
Edit: omg I didn't expect this to get so many likes💕
Best movie ever, and it's literally about a day in Vienna!
YES
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
just came down to the comments to see who said it first lol
Yesssssss
I don't normally comment but we really want a seriesss. I cant travel due to reasons and I've watched both the aussie and interrailing vlogs like 4 times through. I feel like when watching the video im living vicariously through you.. love you
Hey Javeria, I'm in the same boat of not being able to travel due to Covid -19 but totally agree Jade's content makes me feel like I'm travelling when I'm really just sitting in my bedroom at home haha! I've also just started a channel all about my travel and my gap year so if you want any more inspo, be sure to check it out!!
It’s so hard to break things off with people, even when you’re not in an actual relationship. I’m a people pleaser and I hate upsetting people. It hurts when you do and it hurts when you don’t, so it’s kinda a lose lose in my experience. I’ve learnt a lot of lessons because I had a long distance relationship, it ended 3 years ago and he passed away in a car accident recently, along with 3 other people I care about in the space of a month. It’s hard to balance just wanting to be friends with someone who wants more, if you give more, they get hopeful, but if you give less, you miss them as a friend and it hurts so badly when they’re gone.
I was grinning like a absolute idiot while watching this entire video LMAO
HAHAHAH SAME
The scene from Vienna sounds like the movie Before Sunrise
I love that movie so much!
That movie is absolutely incredible 😍
YESSS ❤️
yep that's exactly what I thought
“I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away” vibezzzz 💓😌
Remember when everybody thought her travel romance was the American guy she met in Italy?
Oh, I do 🤣
hahaha yes!!!
I love to collaborate with you plus I meet you one day
Hahaha yes I immediately thought about this!!
that caden guy!!
why did I immediately know what this was about
because you're an OG
Same as soon as I saw the notification I was like YES
hahahaha same
Same I guess it actually sticks to my head lol
because this story time has been long awaited
wow Jade is living my Lizzie Mcguire dream
Lmao frrr😂😂 it's so cute
Jade is truly living the fairytale everyone wants 😍
We're all jealous of Gap Year Jade 😔
omg I loved the honesty of this and you opening up was so brave. also can we please just say that Jade spoke about not wanting to lose her virginity whilst travelling in such a grown up and honest way with no shame at all - that's something you don't see a lot
Nothing to be praised about
@@victoriaumukoro116 wdym?
Charlotte Because virginity isn't special. Neither is not being a virgin. If you've had sex of not shouldn't be that big of a deal or something people go around congratulating someone over.
@@thedarkphoenix1640 I'm not congratulating her not losing her virginity I'm congratulating the bravery it takes to talk about it, especially in a society that tends to shame people over "losing their virginity". yes virginity is a load of nonsense especially in a world where not everyone has hetero sex but talking about it to a large platform when people are still judged for it and talking about it in a grown up way with no shame or bragging about it (people esp women are often shamed in both ways) is quite a big thing.
Charlotte Oh I see I interpreted your comment wrong. I apologize
If you come across this comment, remember George Floyd. If you witness racial discrimination/any other form of discrimination then SPEAK OUT! #BlackLivesMatter #ICantBreathe ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻
the reckless one Imagine how traumatising it was for George Floyd. I’m just trying to get his name out there as much as possible, i can’t apologise for that.
Thank you for this. If anyone is reading this comment and feels like they've never critically engaged with their racial identity and how it impacts their place in the world, head over to my Instagram. I made a highlight where I ramble trying to process everything, but ultimately share some necessary resources.
I've just started a workbook called "Me and White Supremacy" by Layla Saad and if you're a white person wondering what you can do, do this. It's a start. Get thinking, get educating, get doing. Donate to charities like NAACP (go match my donation! again, head to IG), Minnesota Freedom Fund, George's family. There is so much work to do and now is not the time for performative sharing or trying to defend your non-racism. I am working to be more actively anti-racist, just as we all should be.
UnJaded Jade Thank you Jade!!!❤️We as white people need to use our privilege to defend and support black and ethnic minority communities from systematic racism and discrimination

😍😍😍
But now we want the Minerva relationshipTEA. You mentioned this in a university video.
Hehe, I feel so smug knowing this - you are truly LIVING xo
YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE I TOLD 🥺 take us back to the cafe and tea hehe
You're such a good story teller i felt like i was there whilst you were explaining it you should definitely tell more of your stories
🥺🥺 thank you!!
hehehehe
Hi eve
I saw this and I was like: SCREW STUDYING FOR MY EXAMS I NEEEEED THIS TEA
Also this really makes me miss my bf because apparently starting a LDR 1.5 weeks before both of our countries went in lockdown sounded like a great idea 🙃😂
Sounds like she was in a coming of age movie...
Netflix noah centimeter vibes
@@warona2274 what? :)
Okay Jade, you inspired me to travel all of Europe last year. And like you, I found someone!
We were in Venice Florence and Rome at the same times, and we met in Florence having similar paths all the way along! We met in Rome again for another night where we just fell for each other. Her name is Mary Jane, she's American, I'm from the UK.
We kept in touch, I flew out to see her last December, we're officially a couple, and I'm taking her back to Florence someday!
You inspired me to go travelling, you inspired me to push myself and meet new people, and I owe it to you that I met this girl that I now care dearly for. Thank you Jade 💕
I really want her to see this, it would mean the world to help me out 🥺
Um where do I find someone like this guy!
Viens à Paris mademoiselle
12:37 I met up with my LDR boyfriend for the first time recently in York
After hearing about you guys in Vienna, you HAVE to watch Before Sunrise (it's about a couple who meet and spend a night in Vienna). The whole basis of the film is their conversation and it's so beautiful ✨
This story sounds exactly like the movie “Before Sunrise” by Richard Linklater
my favourite movie ever. i was thinking the same thing haha
That's what I was thinking too!!Best romantic movie of all time
YES
YES
I'm going insane this is the most incredible story, I'm so bloody glad you got this experience Jade 💗💗
🥺 thank you so much!!
Lol my gap year has basically been cancelled and my love life is nonexistent
Same 😔
Me too. Gap year travel consists in leaving the house to go to the grocery store occasionally . 😔
But then again I would hate to be in my first year of Uni with all of this chaos going on. so even if I'm sad about having to forfeit the things I wanted to do this year, I guess it's still a blessing that I decided to take a year off.😊
Grace Elizabeth me too urgh so frustrating
Kayla Starr I feel this. So annoying because I started work a couple of months ago to save to go away during the summer just before uni in the new academic year. Am so glad I went with my gut though and wasn’t at uni this year because I think I would’ve been more frustrated having half the year cancelled lol
Where are you guys from? Aren’t European countries opening their borders again?
the universe really works in mysterious ways FML THIS MADE MY HEART FLUTTER :’) its like a wattpad story man thanks for sharing this with us jade!!! i relate to your people pleasing thing im the worst at that and have been trying to get better so the fact that you strongly emphasising that honesty is better than leading people on with a lie hit me hard :’)
Awh Jade this sounded amazing and so magical! I genuinely felt like a was listening to a friend watching this! I was meant to go inter-railing this summer but because of covid its now been cancelled but I feel like I can living vicariously through your experiences haha! xx
I totally get the end of the video too - I just had a breakup and I'm finding it hard to stop messaging him because we are still friends, but I know it's not right and it wasn't a successful relationship, and it's better to just be clear about things! :)
its sooo annoying that as women we cant take have the whole travelling experience in some places (night life and all) because there are high chances of something happening. and its so hard to convince the parents oof
I feel you girllll
I'm pretty sure that men in those same places can also be mugged or murdered.
@@timowthie there's something called statistics.
@@timowthie pretty sure you never soo concerned about those men until i said that crimes against women are common :)
Jade, so happy that you enjoyed Vienna. Your day in Vienna reminds me of the film 'Before Sunrise' in which the two main characters spend one day spontaneously exploring Vienna and then part ways. I'd really recommend this film, for anyone who hasn't seen it. Also: do you remember the restaurant's name? Greetings from Vienna :)
omgt Jade I love you like throughout the whole video I was like "YESSS JADE GET ITTTTT" but omggg I can't believe you ghosted him ahh I feel so bad for him ahahah
😭😭😭😭
same, ghosting is the worst! like just tell people 😅
voldemort poor guyyyyyy like he travelled all the way to Vienna to see her 😭😭
@@Guresu I knowww! god, I wish I had met him 😅
I’m getting big mamma mia vibes from this. It sounds so beautiful and perfect and such a lovely memory
The wattpad girl in me is screaming.... Jade smile got so bright when he talked about this guy
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UP
Your English study videos helped me get the beat grades I could manage in English. Now I’ve wrote a book a few months later! 💕
I should be doing my chem assignment but i guess this is more important😂
Ps.love you and your videos Jade😢💛
Me too lol
Hope you successfully finished your assignment))
IT IS ACCTUALLY
What the hell Jade can't believe this was 2 years ago!! Feels like yesterday!!!
JAAADE I CANT STOP SMILING THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I feel like I was there with you
I love how you called him Ljubljana guy! That's exactly how I retell my travel guy stories as well
I remember watching your interrailing vlogs when they came out!
she's an OG 🥺
I do too!! Actually went to Slovenia last year (so a year after the vlogs) and it is so fun watching these clips with different eyes haha
omg this is some mamma mia 2 / before sunrise energy!! i am (or was depending on ms rona) meant to be interrailing this year, i wanna be radiating this energy when i travel ✨
taja shania I was supposed to be interrailing and travelling rn but because of the virus obviously I can’t so no travel romance for me :(
Aw jade I was smiling throughout the whole of this video
Don’t worry about it we’re all young and learning. The fact you learnt from this experience shows growth and maturity
6:06 This is SO WEIRD! There are absolutely no coincidences, everything happens for a reason!!
Tabitha Ford awww is someone in need of a movie like romantic experience too? It’s ok, bring it in
chill out Tabitha
@Tabitha Ford i'd give you dawah, i sincerely would. perhaps this'll put you out of your misery or dreadful existence of cluelessness.
Tabitha Ford Lmao
Tabitha Ford crazy how wrong you are. Everything does happen for a reason, destiny is very much real.
The moment I saw the title I dropped everything to watch this! Jade you're such a good story teller! You make me want to go travelling alone!
Jade: uploads
Everyone: rushes to the comments
Me: damn im 5 minutes too late!!
I love this story so much. I didn't have a fling while backpacking, I think I need a little more time getting used to people and you normally don't get that time when you're backpacking. But it's so nice you saw him on 3 different locations
Thanks so much for sharing!! Yeah it felt oddly like... fate? That we just kept running into each other
To everyone who sees this i wish you an amazing weekend!! Have an absolutely amazing time you deserve it!!
Thank you!!
don’t think i’ve ever sat through a full story time video without getting bored, but with jade it hits different 😍 i was so excited throughout this video it was like catching up with an old friend!! also it was such a romantic story even though i kinda felt bad for the guy at the end 🥺❤️ maybe send a message to give him closure?
honestly, the idea of spending a whole day with someone in Vienna gives me before sunrise vibes...
Legiiiit
sigh
2 years ago.
this happened 2 years ago.
I'm a new subscriber so I only came across your channel this year. (but honestly, best timing if you ask me, I love your videos, and theyre so inspiring especially as I'm graduating school in 2023!)
but this felt like a gossip session well overdue, except I'm just late to the party XD
Oh my gosh I loved this! This was such a girl chat sesh honestly. Literally felt like I was experiencing this with you. Thanks for the great video Jade xx
JADE LITERALLY POSTED DURING JACK'S PREMIERE 🤣🤣
this means war
@@neve2500 same lol
I know right hahaha
What would you love me to write for you to take a look at my stuff? (genuine question)
Learning to be honest with people and yourself as a people pleaser is probably one of the biggest lessons you can learn I think. Also this is actually an amazing story you’re making me want to travel so badly:((
i’m literally in year 10 and already want to plan my gap year 😂🤦♀️
Hey Hannah, You're deffo in the right place then - Jade has the BEST gap year content! I've also just started a channel all about my gap year so if you want any more inspo, be sure to check it out!!
What age is year 10? I’m in Ireland hehe
Christina Manning i’m 15 ahah
ME TOO!!! I can’t wait 😂😂
Evie me too! Also called Evie haha
This was my favourite of all your videos!! A cute storytime that isn't clickbait or overdramatic but honest, realistic and teaching others at the same time xxxx
AWWW OMG yes! The video we've all been waiting for!!
I've been watching all your travel vlogs again the last few weeks and I thought it was so hilarious that everyone in the comments suspected every single friend you made as being the one you kissed. But now we know the real tea!!
the tea is finally SPILT
I'm from Slovenia and I love this story. I'm glad you got to make some wonderful memories here!
WE WERE ALL waiting for this video Jade😂😂✨Love how cute your travel romance was, even if it was temporary🥺❤️I haven’t been travelling yet but I think I would be very similar to your mindset with this story!
same!
this video felt so personal and nice, i loved it! thank you for your openness about this topic. i would also love to hear about your views on stuff like polyamory, open relationships, sexuality.. it's so important to be educated about these kinds of topics and to be able to have an open conversation about this with people :)
This is random Jade but... You've helped me grow so much and all your study videos have helped me so so much. Thank you, and I hope you and your family are safe💖
I'm actually from Slovenia and when I heard you say "Ljubljana, Slovenia" I just got so excited!!! this video made me so happy! 😄
Is this that kiss story aaaGh
"who does that"
me in my head: Stalkers 😂
Girllll I have been waiting for this story since your wonderful travel vlogs ✨ this is so cute 🥰
I first saw your video where you learned french in 2 weeks, which was really inspiring and now I want to do the same thing. Now a few days later, I am watching more and more videos from your channel and your interrail story is so cool!!
OK SO GET READY FOR SOME PERSONAL TEA.
So for context Im a boy, it was 8th grade, I had gone to a leadership camp in the mountains, kinda like a summer camp, it was cool and all but in one of the events I meet this one boy named Nick, see nick was cute, funny and just overall a likeable person, the camp only lasted 2 days sadly but I tried my best to spend the most time with him I could, and it was such an innocent crush because before this I had never liked a boy before and thought I only liked girl so I was unsure of what I was feeling towards him but it felt right and I recall this particular moment where everyone was listening to someone giving a speech and we were all sitting on the floor and Nick came in and sat next to me, I felt so special that out of everyone he picked me to sit with and we talk during the speech, we also happened to sleep in the same cabin! So that was cool, lol but ya I remember the last day I woke up and everyone was playing basketball and so was nick so I was just watching him🥺 and i even join for a bit but later we were all outside after eating and I knew that I wasn’t gonna see him again because I didn’t get to ask him for his insta or something so I just took a picture of him from the back, and I still have it- this was in 2018. And well nick, thank you being my first boy crush, u were everything I ever wanted, even though I never got to see you again the memory of your face never left my brain, I hope your doing well.❤️
what if your nick actually sees this? lol
i have also been so bored at home that i’ve watched your travel vlogs twice! i am so happy that they are now going to be extended in a way!
This. IS GOLD. I’m so happy for you Jade🥺😁❤️🥳
Jade you are so smart ❤️ i love you so much. Emotionally intelligence is also realizing the mistakes weve made before and I so appreciate the fact that youre talking about how bad ghosting is!! and the importance of being honest!! I wish ive had my fav youtuber to say this when i was 18 :( hahah had to learn the hard way!!!
Omg I sat down with lunch and didnt expect to love this so much. It literally felt like I was catching up with a friend 🥰
Watching your videos literally make my day. I love how positive and nice you are 🙃
I suggest EVERYONE to take at least a couple of months to travel alone somewhere. It is such an incredible experience to meet travel buddies in the hostels and explore on your own. You really learn how to become independent and how to trust your gut. People might say that taking a gap year will discourage you from going back to school/uni, but that is not true at all! I was extremely excited and motivated after my travels, and I felt more sure of myself in terms of what I wanted to do with my life. Travelling gives you a lot of time for self-reflection
I love your openness and honesty in this video jade!
Jade really be out here living her best life u go girl
omg that's just soooo romantic😭 I enjoyed this story like so much I would also immensely love it if it comes out as series!!!
This felt like my best friend spilling the tea, while I'm shouting back with "no way, he didn‘t!!" :D
I've never enjoyed watching a storytime this much before for sure hahahaha. I would LOVE to hear more gap year storytimes!!
Literally last night before I went to bed, for the first time in a year, I remembered Jade saying that she met someone/kissed someone on this trip. Had not thought about that for ages. And I thought to myself, would love to hear more. This morning, THERE'S THIS VIDEO!! That is a miracle.
oh WOW
I just sounds like the film «before sunrise » omg. The story is also in Vienna this is crazy
I was thinking the same thing !!
i can so relate to the people pleaser thing! I am not a player, and I am not a bad person, I just don't want to hurt people and so I seem as to be leading them on while I don't know how to say no
Omg yesssss the video I've been waiting for! I applaud you for having the guts to talk about something that's personal to you. You go Jade!
