Hi Ivanna. I am from Mumbai living in Germany. I can speak German properly. Is it only me or did I really understand Dutch a little bit? Are these languages of similar nature? Wow!
As a foreigner my self who have been living in India, Delhi NCR region i can nothing but agree on all points in this video. My absolute favorite part of this country is easily it's people and then the massive variety of Indian food. It's also in this country i found my one true love.
You are so lucky to be living in India 😊 For me too some of the paper work was traumatic when I was moving to India . I even did Siva puja for smooth transition ❤(now I am back in Switzerland)
Actually, every foriegners think the same way as they move out of their own country into some other one and mainly complain about paper work ,Visa regulations and what not. Europe is no better, we feel the same way as you are feeling in India, we think that ,in India,we can get almost everything done on our mobile, but in Europe, we find that , it is so cumbersome and time consuming... This happens to everyone . Unless you are an illegal immigrant in Europe, you will not be welcomed easily ..😁
Wow , i can see you have invested a lot of time in scripting, making, recording, editing the video and we really appreciate your effort to explain India to foreigners. We love you and very proud of you for choosing India
Great video. I really enjoyed it and it brought back a lot of lovely memories for me. I am Australian but lived and worked in India for a few years. Even now I am back in Australia, nothing makes me happier than having a masala chai with a samosa (or pakora) in the afternoon! ha ha
Wow, awesome job on this video Ivana! India has been on the global news a lot because its economic growth has surpassed its huge neighbor up north. Every book that I read on the topic of happiness mentioned the importance of relationships. I am American and feel like the Indian culture is miles a head of the developed world.
I forgot how I came to see your channel. You were at that time was living in Netherland. So, its been more than five years I know about your channel. When you declared that you would be living in India, I was shocked since I never expected this from a foreigner from the west. Also I am more interested in knowing Netherlands and its neighboring countries, rather than Bangalore. But later I found your vlog in India is quite interesting. Hope you get more success and happiness in India.
I was visiting Bengaluru in 2019 and I found your vlogs which were very helpful, thank you. However, I visit India often and did not know how to behave with people and the importance of relationships. I behaved like I was in the UK and now that you have enlightened me with this very useful information. It totally makes sense for me to positively change my behaviour. I am watching this again incase I missed anything.
Congratulations on your milestone.. I left Bangalore/ Mysuru 30 years back.. You are part of the new flavor of India and the Bharatiya at heart like you are creating, makes us oldies nostalgic and want to come back.. Glad to see my world through your eyes/lens..
Hi Ivanaji Congratulations for Completing 5 Year's in INDIA Foreigner by Birth, INDIAN by HEART 💓💓💓 Mumbai Madness is Calling you.... Love from Navi Mumbai 💓💓💓
I think India needs a person to stay for 20 years and also expects someone to be fluent in any Indian languages to be given citizenship status, plus a person of Indian citizenship can't have dual citizenship
@@Love2kCr Foreigners may become Indian citizens by *naturalisation* after residing in the country for at least 12 years and renouncing any previous nationalities. There is no language related criterion.
You are absolutely amazing Ivana, congratulations on completing 5yrs in Bengaluru.I m happy that you pronounce the name of our city perfectly. I also urge you to visit other areas of Bengaluru - the green covers like the Bengaluru university campus where you will find the whole medicinal plant garden called Dhanvanthri Vana ( Dhanvanthri was a famous ancient ayurvedic doctor - Vaidya ) , GKVK campus etc...if you find time ⏲️
I have been watching a lot of your old videos because I'm spending a month in the netherlands soon and now seeing this video I suddenly want to visit India!!
I found you I was studying in Bangalore. But back then it was so difficult for me to understand where you are coming from and why you love india so much while I was feel all suffocating. And now now 5 years later, I walk proud telling and showing people how India has grown on me. Ps: when I was there I saw you at Starbucks but was too shy to peek in and say hi tho.
Have been following you since ur first trip to India, Have travelled a lot along with you, its been a ride honestly. Travel Vlog IV is not just a channel for us anymore its an emotion. Proud of you and happy to see that you still love India the same why. Lots of love from North
God Bless You....Bangalore is a very progressive city filled with very positive vibes...I was staying in Amsterdam back in 2012 and in Eindhoven in 2010 for a project with TomTom GPS navigation company...NL is a Very beautiful place..Albert Heijn, Koningsplein was my goto supermarket for all my food needs!!
Love your vlogs! Been watching from Dallas, Texas :) I left India over 25 years ago so not a resident there but i'm originally from Bangalore and I get to relive the city through your experiences 😀😀
In one of the previous videos I have seen you saying how you are obsessed with Mumbai and want to settle down there one day . Now it seems you are too much in love with Bangalore.😍
Hey Ivana! Truly enjoying your content on India! I came across your Lakshadweep tourism vlog recently and it made me curious to explore more of your content! I am happy you appreciate the true warmth, love and essence of India and the people! I am an NRI recently shifted back to my home country and happy to see foreigners as yourself sharing the true side of Bharat! Lots of love, Jai Hind 🙏❤
Congratulations in 5 years in India. Thanks for the video covering various aspects. Hoping to meet you in person some day. Love from Indian in Singapore.
Found ur channel by recommendation maybe because i love foreigners in India or Indian with another country human being couple.Its just the way i spent most of my time honestly brings me smile and some tears ❤
Been watching for almost 5 years now. Saw your trip to Thailand, the sticky rice, your excursions in Rishikesh ... Lovely stuff. Loved your travel vlogs. Your India vlogs are great, too. I always wanted to live in India, though mainly Northern India - I want to see what life's like in the snowy hill towns and villages nearer to the Himalayas. Great stuff! Hope you continue to have success and fun. Hope your father's doing well too - I remember the vlogs you did with him in India, too!
I am planning for a visit to India and watching videos about India on RUclips. Your video was suggested, and it's about Bangalore and it's about the daily life of a foreigner, which promises lots of actually useful info. And thank you for your advice!
6 years ago I bumped into a video of you tasting Indian food and from there I have been following you. In fact 5 years ago when you came to India, I settled to a different city in India for the first time and I used to get so inspired by your videos thinking that you are overcoming all the hurdles and enjoying your life in a different country, so I can definitely manage in a new city atleast 😂😂 .. now I moved to Bangalore and get to try all the hangout places you suggest 😍 .. thank you Ivana for giving me that confidence 5 yrs ago that I can stay in a different city and get settled as well without much hiccups and enjoy each day as it comes ❤️ .. sorry about such a lengthy comment though but pouring all my love and respect for you in this comment section 😘
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing all this about India. I have been following you ever since your Moroccan videos. I have seen you grown so much and have learnt so much from you. I especially love watching you eating as my fav food is Indian food? 🤍💛💚
Ivana, I have been watching your videos for last 3-4 years minimum. They are great. Gives good understanding of how India is seen through the eyes of an European lady , then what's actually portrayed in western media. Keep the good work going on. And, congrats on your 5 years in India.
Congrats on your five-year anniversary! ... One thing I would add to the discussion about working in India (or any country that is not your native country) is the importance of checking to see if your native country and India have a bilateral tax agreement, or one could end up having to pay taxes in both countries on the same earnings. A Google search should get the knowledge acquisition started.
Thanks so much for your insights on living in India. I find it very interesting and always enjoy your views. I’m sure your tips are very helpful. Please keep posting this type of videos !!
Ivana, you are magic & your videos are fascinating. Your presentations 👏are always #1 and very educational. I really don't remember how you popped up on my phone but everyday I go on RUclips to check for your latest because I learn a lot from you and India; a country some of my ancestors migrated from centuries ago. I live in the Caribbean. Thank you for sharing your adventures wherever you go! Keep it coming, you lovely person❤️
Congratulations Ivana for completing 5yrs in India....I started following you while I was in Blgr for a short term in 2019...I bumped into your vlogs and fell in love with you...l liked it that you were showing the positive side of India ...all your vlogs are very interesting and informative... recently I was in Europe and before going to Paris I made sure to re-watch your Paris vlog....it helped me so much while moving around in the city...thank you dear...wish you many more years of happiness in India ....GBU ❤️😘
Congrats on 5 year anniversary.. Your comment on how I first found out about you really made me think.. i guess it was aroind 4 years back.. Have followed your journey.. be it initially travelling videos.. your brother.. festival celebrations like the one on Holi.. your bengaluru life.. your dad's visit.. or your jodhpur jaisalmer breakdown... bambi vids.. etc. You are a geniune creator who truly loves what you do.. like your reasoning for practical decisions in your life.. so kinda like your channel for some real talk and sanity in my youtube feeds.. keep up the good work. Best of luck for your future endeavours.
You are a true inspiration. You caught my attention when you were new in India. I was curious about how people start off a new life in a new country. You really need to be strong and determined. Can you make everyday routine videos of a daily life in India?
I just came across your video as I watch many videos on RUclips.. and you had a video about Bengaluru, my city, so started watching.. I am very happy that you are staying in India since 5 years.. I have immense love and respect for the way you make videos about our country.. our country has much more to offer.. be it food, clothes, culture, language, science, art, music, spirituality, many many things.. I love them all.. it is very very rich.. wish you a happy stay ❤❤
The story is not same sister in all Indian cities. The safest place in India shall be Chennai, next- anywhere in Kerala and then Karnataka. Bengaluru is a pretty safe place but isn't all white because of a lot of flow from north India for employment aspirations. Doesn't mean locals are 100% sensible. As you go north, the cities become more unsafe. Always be cautious anyways. You've spent 5 years and I don't think we'll ever know better than you do as you're constantly moving. My intention was, just don't measure India based on one city's experience.
I found you from your review of Ashiqui2, I saw some videos back then, and today just randomly thought to catch up to how you are doing! congratulations on 5 years here!
Hi Ivana…very elaborate and informative video, will be helpful to many. Use to love your travel videos back then when you visited kerala (especially kochi), rajasthan, rishikesh and leh-ladakh etc. was very interesting.Hope to see a long travel series of urs soon.
As a person who shifted to Bangalore from Delhi myself,the points you made were so on point & refreshing with a flexible perspective.And IF at all you wish to meet new people n catch up for a new place in Bangalore ,around indiranagar or Whitefield.(In a non creepy,socialising way) count me in :)
It is a very beautifully compiled video, I really liked it, Bengaluru is just one of the best cities in India, but to really experience the greatness of this country there are so many cities to enjoy, all of which are unique by itself. Thanks for promoting our country with very positive views, and congratulation for having completed staying for 5 years in Bangaluru on your official assignment.
I think I was introduced to your channel through your gujarat trip and the rann Utsav. Love this video of yours. You have a very easy going way of communication. Wishing you many many more years of exploring India.
Hi Ivana, I came across your channel by chance, while I was watching content about India. I absolutely love your channel, your insights, and your tips. Thanks for this!
Good info. Love your vlogs on india discovered your content here on YT in 2018. When I was trying to find out about Rishikesh. Cannot wait to come back to beautiful india. Definitely would like to live here. Absolutely love India the culture, diversity, the food and the people. 🕉🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏿🕉
Though i have only seen and known you virtually but you feel like family. Congratulations for completing 5 years and i wish you to complete 50 more comfortable and enjoyable years in this country we call home. Love you girl..keep going..❤️❤️
Congratulations for 5 years in India, Ivana ♥️♥️ Btw i can totally understand the concern regarding how to dress up in India 😅 We Indian girls have diversity in our wardrobe for the same reason. Because we cannot dress up the same way everywhere. *Be like Romans in the Rome* 💁 So Yeah. About dating..ugh 🤣 We don't have any fixed dating culture in India tbh. We just go with the flow. If you find someone you love...then good. If not, then ask your parents (arranged marriage ofc 🤣🤣). Relationships are definitely very very important in India...be it personal life or professional life. FOOD is the BEST PART of living in India FOR SURE 🤤🤤 You can NEVER get out of options 💅💯 Btw, Ivana..you should travel to other parts of India now.. where you haven't been till now. P.S: Your point regarding Safety is 💯💯 Just be vigilant. Don't take risk. Be respectful. Keep your inner consciousness active. It's a country of 1.4 billion population. No one should generalise such a huge population 🙌
You just popped up on my you tube feed some years back and since then i have been watching most of your content. It's wonderful to witness your journey! Stay blessed 💞
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Our attention span has reduced. 10 minutes videos are the maximum I watch. 20 minutes only if interesting documentary. Do what suits your channel 🤗
I had to give a break and watch. Too much to take in at a time though i am living in Bangalore. Don't want to miss even a single word and expression from Ivana
Sister new train named Rrts is coming to Delhi and is gonna integrate within some months... If possible try to make a video about it also , looking forward for more awesome videos about India's nature beauty... Good luck sister
Hi Ivana, So the 1st time I came across your Video was when you were staying at Kabir's place and exploring Mumbai. I started following you from Jet airways Business class Video, as I used to work for Jet airways back then. Its been about 7yrs and its always great to come across your videos.
I found your videos before you had moved to India. It was the videos of you travelling in New Delhi (I think). I found them incredibly funny loved your sense of humour and instantly subscribed to you then! 🤗
I first time saw your jab we met and yeh jawaani hai deewani reaction 2 years ago on RUclips recommendations and that's how I connected with your channel ❤
i remember you said in your video that you stopped talking tea. because you get anxiety in the next morning. now in this 1 video you taken tea 2-3 times. how did you get rid anxiety next morning?
I have a question, of course, only if you happen to have the information and can talk about it in your videos☺️: is the situation similar (personal connections matter) in the other industries as well , e.g. academia, NGO etc. as in business (which would of course be completely natural and understandable, considering everything- you have covered that part really well in your video, great for foreigners that might find that more difficult to understand, simply because sometimes situation is reversed and certain industries cannot find workers)? And (only if you happen to know and are in a situation to share, of course ☺️)can linkedin in your experience help in any way? And to answer your question, I found your channel during the lockdown(2021), I was supposed to be in India for the second time, instead, due to lockdown, I was watching my old photos (from the first trip) and youtube. And then I found out that you not only travel, but also live in India. And back than it didn't even occur to me that I could somehow move there ( so, your channel was a discovery for me in that sense). Good luck on your 5 years in India! Looking forward to future videos about your experience in India!
Yes relationships are everything everywhere, is some industries more than others but it's always a crucial component of work&career. While cold emailing/calling worked decently for me in NL, it barely works in India. Thank you so much for your support and hope you get to realize your dream too!
As you are living in Bengaluru, pay a visit to Mangalore, the coast of Karnataka and udupi, when you are at Mangalore please visit ideal cafe or pabbas to try the best ice cream you will ever eat (buy chocolate Fantasy or tiramisu)
Very often when we live in another country it’s no the big drama events so much as smalll detail. A local neighbourhood we get comfortable on. A surpudubg garden. A good seat to watch from. I love it that you really have an eye for things. You watch carefully. Expensive one day basic another.
How did we meet = Your videos started popping up on my feeds during covid times and they seemed to be something that I could connect with. Although you are a foreigner, you are very similar to Indian girls (my friends and colleagues). Hence watching your blogs felt like I was talking to them!! And this is one very well made video!!
Congratulations Ivana ...I like u r vlogs and am following u r channel more than 3 years . U r recommendations and experiences are quit genuine and honest. Especially i like u r dimples and falling love with u r beautiful smile every time. Keep it up and keep smiling ❤️😍
Even some Indians struggle for the same problem in jobs. My learning through out everywhere is look for US lead companies. It cuts through hierarchy and relationships issues. It's the same problem in Australia, where they would decline that you are not part of culture. I used to have the same problem in Bangalore where Tamils hired Tamils, Malayalam, Telugu would do the same. I found Karnataka a bit forgiving and ability to cross language boundaries.
Worked for 1 year in Bangalore in 2019 and fell in love with this city then went back to my home town in covid and missed Bangalore so much then started watching videos on banglore and then I found your channel and then I can’t resist and came back to Banglore. Your suggestion for cafes and all are amazing, actually you are more local to Banglore than me so your suggestion are great help Also thanks for sharing real Banglore and India 🇮🇳 in your vlogs highly appreciate it.❤

You are a true inspiration. You caught my attention when you were new in India. I was curious about how people start off a new life in a new country. You really need to be strong and determined. Can you make everyday routine videos of a daily life in India?
Awww thank you! Yes that would be a great idea
I just came across your video as I watch many videos on RUclips.. and you had a video about Bengaluru, my city, so started watching.. I am very happy that you are staying in India since 5 years.. I have immense love and respect for the way you make videos about our country.. our country has much more to offer.. be it food, clothes, culture, language, science, art, music, spirituality, many many things.. I love them all.. it is very very rich.. wish you a happy stay ❤❤
Awew thank you so much!
Hi Ivana dear
Your positive energy is rubbing off on us
You are inspiring a lot of us
Love your content
Love from South Africa
Thank you so much!
The story is not same sister in all Indian cities. The safest place in India shall be Chennai, next- anywhere in Kerala and then Karnataka. Bengaluru is a pretty safe place but isn't all white because of a lot of flow from north India for employment aspirations. Doesn't mean locals are 100% sensible.
As you go north, the cities become more unsafe. Always be cautious anyways. You've spent 5 years and I don't think we'll ever know better than you do as you're constantly moving.
My intention was, just don't measure India based on one city's experience.
I found you from your review of Ashiqui2, I saw some videos back then, and today just randomly thought to catch up to how you are doing! congratulations on 5 years here!
Hi Ivana…very elaborate and informative video, will be helpful to many.
Use to love your travel videos back then when you visited kerala (especially kochi), rajasthan, rishikesh and leh-ladakh etc. was very interesting.Hope to see a long travel series of urs soon.
Thank you! 😃
As a person who shifted to Bangalore from Delhi myself,the points you made were so on point & refreshing with a flexible perspective.And IF at all you wish to meet new people n catch up for a new place in Bangalore ,around indiranagar or Whitefield.(In a non creepy,socialising way) count me in :)
Aw that's so sweet!!!!
Ivana, you have given me confidence in traveling alone. Truly you are an Angel. My morning coffee and Video from Ivana makes my day 💖
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for showcasing all the parts of our country.
Wow can't believe i have been following the channel since 3 years and it was absolutely an epic journey. Keep it going ♥️
Thank you! Will do!
It is a very beautifully compiled video, I really liked it, Bengaluru is just one of the best cities in India, but to really experience the greatness of this country there are so many cities to enjoy, all of which are unique by itself. Thanks for promoting our country with very positive views, and congratulation for having completed staying for 5 years in Bangaluru on your official assignment.
Congratulations on 5 years in Bangalore ❤️🤗
Get all that chai, you are a native now 😊
Thank you so much 😀
I found you 4 years ago when I was planning to visit Cochin and I believe at that time you were living in Cochin. Since then, I am a fan.
I think I was introduced to your channel through your gujarat trip and the rann Utsav. Love this video of yours. You have a very easy going way of communication. Wishing you many many more years of exploring India.
So nice of you, thank you!
Hi Ivana, I came across your channel by chance, while I was watching content about India. I absolutely love your channel, your insights, and your tips. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much!!
Good info. Love your vlogs on india discovered your content here on YT in 2018. When I was trying to find out about Rishikesh. Cannot wait to come back to beautiful india. Definitely would like to live here. Absolutely love India the culture, diversity, the food and the people. 🕉🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏿🕉
Awww thank you!
Bangalore is a perfect place for anyone to live .
It's truly a lovely city!
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial I hope you visit mangalore too to see beautiful beaches ,temple and churches .
Though i have only seen and known you virtually but you feel like family. Congratulations for completing 5 years and i wish you to complete 50 more comfortable and enjoyable years in this country we call home. Love you girl..keep going..❤️❤️
Wow, thank you, that's so sweet!
Congratulations for 5 years in India, Ivana ♥️♥️
Btw i can totally understand the concern regarding how to dress up in India 😅
We Indian girls have diversity in our wardrobe for the same reason.
Because we cannot dress up the same way everywhere.
*Be like Romans in the Rome* 💁
So Yeah.
About dating..ugh 🤣
We don't have any fixed dating culture in India tbh.
We just go with the flow. If you find someone you love...then good.
If not, then ask your parents (arranged marriage ofc 🤣🤣).
Relationships are definitely very very important in India...be it personal life or professional life.
FOOD is the BEST PART of living in India FOR SURE 🤤🤤
You can NEVER get out of options 💅💯
Btw, Ivana..you should travel to other parts of India now.. where you haven't been till now.
P.S: Your point regarding Safety is 💯💯
Just be vigilant. Don't take risk. Be respectful. Keep your inner consciousness active.
It's a country of 1.4 billion population. No one should generalise such a huge population 🙌
You just popped up on my you tube feed some years back and since then i have been watching most of your content. It's wonderful to witness your journey! Stay blessed 💞
Awww this makes me so happy! Thank you for joining the journey😁
Relationships to get a job/business are needed here in France as well. One cannot do without them here too if they really wanna advance.
That's so much information in one video. This could be two videos of around 12 minutes each.
I even cut out a whole degment about travel🫠 Who knows, maybe there'll be a part 2
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Our attention span has reduced. 10 minutes videos are the maximum I watch. 20 minutes only if interesting documentary. Do what suits your channel 🤗
I had to give a break and watch. Too much to take in at a time though i am living in Bangalore. Don't want to miss even a single word and expression from Ivana
@@rajib8231 I watched it in one go but felt tired. I think we have evolved as impatient humans because of short videos.
@@sudhakar7889 yes i suppose 🤓
Hope India never bore you & keeps exciting you forever 😊❤🙏
Sister new train named Rrts is coming to Delhi and is gonna integrate within some months...
If possible try to make a video about it also , looking forward for more awesome videos about India's nature beauty...
Good luck sister
That's amazing!
Thank you for enjoying the food of India ❤
Hi Ivana, So the 1st time I came across your Video was when you were staying at Kabir's place and exploring Mumbai. I started following you from Jet airways Business class Video, as I used to work for Jet airways back then. Its been about 7yrs and its always great to come across your videos.
Woah that's amazing!!! Thank you so much for joining the journey all these years
Groetjes.. Van uit Suriname.. India is een mini wereld op aarde
Groetjes terug!
Hi, IVANA! Thanks so much for the video! Could yo name the dish on 23:27? These bowls look so yummy))
Beautiful as always ❤️ Awesome video
At the moment when she was eating Pani puri I was like" wait a sec, pls stop , why I'm not having pani puri right now 🥺"... that made me hungry 😔😔
I found your videos before you had moved to India. It was the videos of you travelling in New Delhi (I think). I found them incredibly funny loved your sense of humour and instantly subscribed to you then! 🤗
Informative vlog thank you Ivana n wishing you the very best for 2023
Thank you! You too!
I’m looking forward to settling in blore Your vlogs are the positivity I need Much gratitude n thanks
Great going for 5 years in India- Congrats
Thank you!
I first time saw your jab we met and yeh jawaani hai deewani reaction 2 years ago on RUclips recommendations and that's how I connected with your channel ❤
i remember you said in your video that you stopped talking tea. because you get anxiety in the next morning. now in this 1 video you taken tea 2-3 times. how did you get rid anxiety next morning?
I have a gut feeling that you found soulmate in india
In Mother India herself yes!
I have a question, of course, only if you happen to have the information and can talk about it in your videos☺️: is the situation similar (personal connections matter) in the other industries as well , e.g. academia, NGO etc. as in business (which would of course be completely natural and understandable, considering everything- you have covered that part really well in your video, great for foreigners that might find that more difficult to understand, simply because sometimes situation is reversed and certain industries cannot find workers)? And (only if you happen to know and are in a situation to share, of course ☺️)can linkedin in your experience help in any way? And to answer your question, I found your channel during the lockdown(2021), I was supposed to be in India for the second time, instead, due to lockdown, I was watching my old photos (from the first trip) and youtube. And then I found out that you not only travel, but also live in India. And back than it didn't even occur to me that I could somehow move there ( so, your channel was a discovery for me in that sense). Good luck on your 5 years in India! Looking forward to future videos about your experience in India!
Yes relationships are everything everywhere, is some industries more than others but it's always a crucial component of work&career. While cold emailing/calling worked decently for me in NL, it barely works in India.
Thank you so much for your support and hope you get to realize your dream too!
As you are living in Bengaluru, pay a visit to Mangalore, the coast of Karnataka and udupi, when you are at Mangalore please visit ideal cafe or pabbas to try the best ice cream you will ever eat (buy chocolate Fantasy or tiramisu)
Already been, check the 2022 India playlist and enjoy!
Love from Kerala 🥰 Ivana mamm 😉🥳
All the love back!
Very often when we live in another country it’s no the big drama events so much as smalll detail. A local neighbourhood we get comfortable on. A surpudubg garden. A good seat to watch from. I love it that you really have an eye for things. You watch carefully. Expensive one day basic another.
This is so so true! Even the smallest things make my heart jump with joy.
I think from blogs and also from your Ted talk or some kind of speech
How did we meet = Your videos started popping up on my feeds during covid times and they seemed to be something that I could connect with. Although you are a foreigner, you are very similar to Indian girls (my friends and colleagues). Hence watching your blogs felt like I was talking to them!!
And this is one very well made video!!
Aw thanks!
Congratulations Ivana ...I like u r vlogs and am following u r channel more than 3 years . U r recommendations and experiences are quit genuine and honest. Especially i like u r dimples and falling love with u r beautiful smile every time. Keep it up and keep smiling ❤️😍
Thank you so much 🙂
Even some Indians struggle for the same problem in jobs. My learning through out everywhere is look for US lead companies. It cuts through hierarchy and relationships issues. It's the same problem in Australia, where they would decline that you are not part of culture. I used to have the same problem in Bangalore where Tamils hired Tamils, Malayalam, Telugu would do the same. I found Karnataka a bit forgiving and ability to cross language boundaries.
Great videos.... All the best for your channel
congrats queen ❤
hi ivana , please do a subscribers meetup .Last time the meetup in the charlie animal shelter was nice :)
Hi ivana.where is dear bambi? I found your vlogs on youtube while watching travel vlogs...since then we are 'youtube-friends' !
Yay that's awesome! Bambi is living her best life hahah I sometimes show her on Instagram but should make an update video soon as well
Congrats !!!
Worked for 1 year in Bangalore in 2019 and fell in love with this city then went back to my home town in covid and missed Bangalore so much then started watching videos on banglore and then I found your channel and then I can’t resist and came back to Banglore.
Your suggestion for cafes and all are amazing, actually you are more local to Banglore than me so your suggestion are great help
Also thanks for sharing real Banglore and India 🇮🇳 in your vlogs highly appreciate it.❤
Aw this makes me so happy! Welcome back to Namma Ooru!
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial Thanks 🙏
I found your video just few days back and I'm enjoying watching ❤💖🥰👌👌👌
Cheers to your 5 years!
Thank you!
