Have a great day since it's your birthday

My daughter insisted that I watch your video because I too am going though tough time being depressed as being a single dad with full custody of two kids. I am suffering from severe depression by seeing life passing me by and I can't do what you are now doing, seeing the world. I'm 50 (though people swear that I look 39, I don't know why they say 39 instead of 40?) and I have live over half my life span. Being a single dad is a thankless job, but I love my kids so much that they give me the reason to wake up every day and work 10 to 12 hours a day to support them and make them happy. I just wish that day will come when I get a chance to be happy, just like you. Nadine, you are a very lucky person at the perfect age to do what you are doing. My daughter thinks you're awesome, and I have a lot of respect for you for taking control of your life.

lawrencet83 god help you, stay strong I'm sure your kids will give you back some day❤️

This video couldn't have come at a better time! I was at the top of class in high school and went to university for one year and decided I wanted to travel instead. I worked for one year (and went on two all-inclusive vacations with friends and family) and this Monday I'm going to Australia for 24 days (by myself) on a Contiki tour and staying in a hostel after. Emotions are running high right now between being scared and excited, but seeing how travelling has helped you and how it has helped me so far reassured me it's the right decision! Happy birthday!

You are going to have them most amazing time in Australia! Yes it is normal to be scared as you probably will be until after the 1 day of the trip. And then, I promise you, you will have the time of your life! Tip: say YES to everything you can and open yourself up to meeting new people, (Contiki makes it pretty easy ) xo

Wonderful old friend. 8 years of knowing you through KZread, meeting you, being a friend, sharing stories and memories through this site. I am so impressed with your ability to stay focused on the journey.

Isn't it?!

This was really inspiring. Seriously, the ending especially made me go, "yep, I NEED to change something in my life" because I've been stuck in a rut, depressed, anxious, I haven't had any direction for a few years, Ive been working jobs that I don't care about and quitting them because I feel miserable after a while...the one thing that does make my heart race with excitement and makes me feel joy is travelling, which I don't get to do much really, but I'm wanting to change that. Thank you for this video, and also for your channel. I'm seriously getting inspired to take action and change my life and get on a plane. I've always thought life is way too short to not see the world. It would be a waste to die without getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing different countries and their cultures.

MissDevil1992 for real. watching all her videos made me make the decision to see London for a few days before my volunteer trip in south africa. now im going to brazil for the holidays this year and thailand and back to south africa next year and maybe china if i have the time b/c of work. and because i watched all her packing videos i learned how to pack to make room for all my clothes and stuff hahaha soo inspiring

Great video Nadine very inspirational! Travel is such an important part of our lift and it has inspired us to pack up home and move away from Australia to Canada to go out an experience life. Part of this decision is seeing people like you and vagabrothers, FunForLouis and other KZreadrs just going out there and doing it. Hope to one day meet you in our travels :)

First off happy birthday Nadine! Having been a longtime youtube viewer (account also from 2006), to see you grow and hear you've battled and overcome depression is very encouraging to myself and others. Keep on living, and keep on making videos your proud of. Two thumbs up!

Just amazing... The best Draw my Life i've ever seen on youtube, at least the most sentimental an real one. Very inspiring!!!

I stumbled upon your videos in the last month or so while I was looking for travel videos before I went to Toronto, Canada (just got back this past monday) and you have quickly become one of my inspirations/favorite youtubers. I hope to someday go all/most of the places you've gone. You've been such an inspiration to me :)

Happy Birthday Nadine! I am glad that your life is back to where you wanted it to be. I am following you since your video when you started WoW again. However, you showed me more than WoW videos. Crazy funny videos. I remember supporting you at the Doritos VJ competition. I was really sad when you left youtube. But now I am happy to see that you continue sharing your amazing life! Have a great day!

Thank you. Thank you for doing this. I've watched countless "Draw My Life" videos and they all seem to be the same. "Crappy childhood, crappy home life, find KZread... profit." Yours seems more relate-able. All was well, find TehToob, shit goes astray, make a change... prosper. Very inspiring. I'm at a similar place myself. Things are stagnant and a change is needed. If I had youth on my side, I'd take bigger chances, but... I be old as dirt (well, not THAT old), but it's inspiring to see someone take a huge chance, and have it pay off. Congrats on all your success and all the best in your future travels.

Hey Nadine! WOW! Thank you for being so brave to share your personal life with the world! I subscribed and watched your videos for months before I bought a ticket to Costa Rica! I ended up staying and surfing in and around the jungles of Pavones for two months. You inspired me! And I learned so much about traveling from your channel!!! Thank you!!! Sean in California

Had no idea you were so depressed. Glad youre better and yesssssssssssss traveling is a good cure!!! LOVES IT! So happy youre back on track and happy with yourself :)

This is one of the best draw my life vids I've seen so far thanks for sharing Nadine!

happy birthday, might be late but better late than never. Pretty cool your still doing what you do, I remember you from way back then in 2006 when I had my old channel. Keep it up nadine. still watching the videos

I love how your whole video and you life story really relates to mine. Im stuck in my life at the moment like its a prison with hardly any friends and depression also. I decided to put a stop in that recently and in 3 weeks I am leaving to Travel Thailand. My budget is not a lot as I am not rich but I hope through KZread and my Blog, one day it will allows me to do what you do. Thank you so much for this video !!! I am following my dreams and thats what matters in life right now. x

Well I for one am glad you're still around and enjoying your life. Happy Birthday Nadine!!!!

Thank you so much for this Nadine

I've honestly been watching your videos THAT long I remember the WoW videos, it's crazy! Always thought they're great. Thanks for this, brings back memories haha :).

I happened upon your channel a few weeks ago. I wanted to escape so I searched "packing tutorials" on KZread. At the time I'd just ended a toxic relationship and was and currently am going through post grad blues. I literally had no idea where to start as far as rebuilding and discovering what I wanted to do or be or live or anything....then I started watching your videos. Even just your packing tutorials gave me some sort of hope there's more out there for me. Then I saw this "Draw My Life" and you shared your story. It was almost word for word identical to mine. , It solidified I was going to be ok. I'm pursuing a teaching English abroad job now. Thank you for being so transparent and encouraging, Nadine. I so appreciate you! :)

love this.. life is not easy that is for sure... things happen but in the end it makes us happy! nice to see a fellow canadian on youtube!!!

i can totally relate to this, thank you! earlier this year i started watching travel vloggers and i watch you regularly. going to thailand for the first time in three weeks.

Happy birthday Nadine!!! I have watched your videos from the beginning and you have always inspired me to do new things. Thanks so much for this video. It was very motivating!

This is exactly what I needed to see, thank you so much Nadine!!

loved this so much:) Thanksfor sharing your story and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! xx

Happy birthday, Nadine! Your videos inspire me to be so much more active and to search for new experiences. Hope one day you can come back to Brazil and I'll meet you.

This has become my favorite video! Thank you for sharing your story!

You do inspire me to travel and make KZread videos Nadine, Happy Birthday and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Nadine! for sharing you' re story! It touch me and surprise me, i'd never tought that you went through that experience in you're life. I feel like a need to get out and take a new challenge in my life. I've been wathching a lot of you're videos, I truly admire you and you're story inspires me. A big hug from Chile!

Happy Birthday Nadine! Minus the siblings and working for KZread, your story is the same as mine...out of college and now I have to figure out what to do with myself. I'm glad you seem to have figured it out.

Happy Birthday Nadine!, Thanks for telling your story. I am glad that you were able to find a way out of your darker time and it is obvious you love your live of exploration. I cant remember how long I have been watching your videos (probably 3 years) but your fun personality has always shone through and your silly videos have cheered me up many times, you are my favourite canadian and at least in my top 3 favourite youtubers! God bless, keep being yourself - You are awesome!

"My parents aren't rich." Girl I get it ❤️👏🏼🙌🏻 haha

Great video Hey Nadine, and happy birthday.

Please am a Ghanaian but searching for a job. And it good to have you.

One of the best Draw My Life tags I've seen

Happy birthday ! When I saw you in a vlog from another youtuber, I remembered you from your older videos. Now I see what you've been up to : Travelling ! I can feel that you are happier ; it is apparent in your videos. Great job for finding a way in your life and being happy. For me, happiness is the prime objective in life and should always be an everlasting goal. I've started travelling in 2003, did a bunch of country and can't stop. The best part is when I check-in at montreal airport and go sit at my gates. I always go early. Every time seems like I'm starting a new life ; just like a dream. I'm so relaxed.... And when I get back, I feel so energized, and I'm storming my life around to find something new to do. hum.... anyway... happy birthday ! Please continu your path and create new one because it's so fun to see you Happy.

Very merry birthday and aboout 8 years of KZread. You were the first channel I subscribed just about three years ago

This inspired me so much Nadine. I've travelled, and I can vouch for it saving me out of dark times too. I've found, thanks to travel, that when dark times come all I have to do is plan to go overseas again and it helps. It gives me a reason to work towards my goal. This September, I'm going to Europe again with my best friend, and we're going to start blogging and vlogging like you. Yes you have to start somewhere. But so many people don't even start! You inside me Nadine, so thank you!

Amazing inspiring video Nadine. Good to see you found something you really enjoy!

hope you have had a lovely birthday! sorry to hear about your major depression. i myself get bouts of depression and even if i just travel somewhere in my own country really helps allot. im hoping to be going to amsterdam in the new year all by myself lol

Wow... you were talking about your struggles and that's literally what I'm barely starting to be able to pull myself out of. I've been feeling like I need to just GO somewhere, anywhere, and I'm saving a lot so I can go away for a week or 2 and just be somewhere new. Thank you so much for making this, it's really inspired me again! I want to find that program thing you were talking about so I can go away and work and travel and be somewhere new ♡

Such a strong person Nadine. Happy Birthday. I believe this video will help so many of your fans. Great video and thank you for sharing it with us @heynadine

I can't thank you enough for this video :) you have inspired me. Exactly how I am feeling after graduating college - depressed, feeling stuck, & unfulfilled…i needed your encouragement to push me out of my comfort zone - I WILL get out there and travel. thank you

Thank you for this video! Happy to say that my plane leaves 29 of august next month. Unfortunitly this is not my first depression I had one way whorse before and got better. This time its gonna be travel and writing on the way thats gonna do this for me. It gives me confidence that my hope for getting better on the travel is not something out of reach! Hey Nadine your awesome!

Advanced happy birthday nadine, you are such an inspiration. Someday I will travel the world too. And Your advice video about how to plan tours properly are really informative. Finally got a structure for my dream europe tour

thanks Nadine, great storey, and we all like to hear about you, me and my husband are struggling to find our "life plan" at the moment, travel is not cheap, the hardest part for us would be giving up great jobs to go and do more travel.

I'm so glad this video exists! Thank you so much for sharing your story and inspiring me (and everyone) to live! Have a nice day Nadine :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NADINE! Much love from New West 😊

Relate :/ I didn't have a plan during university graduation. It took me a while to know what to do. Thank you for your videos.

I just found your channel thru Raga's channel. I loved this video. I am so happy that you found a way to be happy.

Happy Birthday Nadine! I can't wait to come with you on your next travel.

Thanks for being baring yourself to the world! Wow, I went through the whole engineering, comp-sci, travel , what do I want to do thing too!

Happy Birthday Nadine. I love your draw my life video!!!!

I had the same. Traveling made me realise that there is another way, where I can feel happy. Whenever I feel down, I look at my souvenirs and photos and remember that where I am now is not permanent. I am only 17 years old so I cannot travel that much, but i save up every little bit so I can go away on holidays

Such an inspiring video! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to travel and to start making adventures of my own!

Hey Nadine, even though I'm watching this three years later it still feels relevant and important for me to tell you that you're incredible.Everything that you've shared here is completely inspiring me to continue my life and get out there and make the difference I've always dreamed of.Going through something so challenging in your life is a huge lesson that helps you to create a better life for yourself, and seeing that you did so, it encourages me to be the same.Traveling gives me a reason to keep going, to keep setting up new goals for myself. To always seek for more.I hope to be like that one day,You're inspiring.Love you❤

Happy birthday! I hope it was as fabulous as You Are! & safe travels! :)

Happy birthday Nadine! Your story really inspired me because i'm 21, still in uni (2 years left) but I still don't know what to do after school. I'm not one of those people who knew at an early age what they wanted in life, or their dream job. But knowing that you've been through this and find a way out to this situation, really gave me hope, so thanks !!! kisses from France :)

This was a truly inspirational video! Thank you for sharing your story. Happy Birthday!!!

Love your story, very inspiring! Happy birthday

Thank you for the inspiration Nadine! Your video really gave me the motivation to want to travel and see the world!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nadine!! This was a video that's so relevant to me !! This was inspiring and it made my day a whole lot better!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful story =) Can't wait to see more !!

Traveling really is a way of self-discovery. I totally agree with you. I felt the same way after graduation, what the hell is my purpose in life, what kind of real job should I do. Traveling is a perfect way to find out what floats your boat so to speak.

The end made me cry!! So inspiring!

Nadine, i can relate to this video so much! I am literally at that point of figuring out my potentials and traveling really eased the pain I was in a couple of months ago. I am still pretty lost as to what I am supposed to do when I graduate but I know, me being the positive person I am, will have it all figured out when the time comes!:) thanks for sharing this video xo

Thank you for sharing your inspiring story Nadine! I am so excited to travel more. Happy belated birthday

yay! I'm from New Zealand and I'm glad that you enjoyed it here!! :D I'm only 16 but when I'm a little older I am definitely going to travel as much as I can! :)

great video! I've had half a draw my life video film for about a year now, hopefully watching yours make me wanna finish it, also hope you had a good birthday! :D

thank you for reminding me that I have to change something. I've travelled a lot, but I wasn't ready, I was still hating myself too much. now, I'm hoping to get a job for a while, save as much as I can, hopefully find some people I can connect with and then I'll try again. thank you for being here and putting yourself out here like this. I'm all here for these honest videos

I am so glad you shared your story. Going out and seeing new places works wonders for me too :)

Nadine you have inspired me to go traveling and go on road trips and just take in every experience thank you for that i love you

I don't know why but I never would have thought our stories were so similar. The main similarity being that I was completely lost too but travel helped me get out of the rut I was in. I left home and travelled America & Canada for 2 months completely alone after I finished school in 2008 and it really was the beginning of me becoming who I am today. It totally changed my life. So glad this video came up on my suggestions

Happy birthday, I hope you have a great one. I love your videos they're great :)

Great video. I went thru the same thing after graduating university. Now I live in LA and its hard to make friends here. But its funny that KZread makes me feel so much better about so many things. Weird how KZread can change lives! Great video.

Thanks for sharing. It's difficult to imagine you ever being depressed. And Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday! This video was very inspiring!

Awesome video! It's great to learn about you! You're such a good inspiration for me! Love you

I miss these kinds of videos from you. I like these more than the traveling stuff.

I can relate to this so much! Feeling stuck in a major rut and feeling so lost and down about it. I'm desperate to travel, hopefully one day soon! Thanks for this video Nadine!

Happy birthday, Nadine. I did kind of realise what you were going through when you stopped posting on YT just after graduating. I'm so glad you found your way out of it, but believe me, I almost fell off my chair in surprise when in your video you said "I'm in New Zealand". That was a momentous moment.

my dad taught me how to play golf too. we use to go to the course every weekend. i joined a junior team and we did pretty well. i still like to play and my dad and i will go play a round to see who's best. he always wins. he has a lot more experienced than i do.

I love how honest you are in this video, veery inspiring keeep going girl! :)

Amazing story! You have come so far Nadine! :)

Hi Nadine! I'm new to your channel, but really excited to find it after this video. This morning, I went searching for female travel vloggers and when I saw your name I remembered you from some recent Louis videos! Our stories seem eerily similar--down to the straight A's and theatre in high school. Like you said, a lot of us do go through these same struggles. My life is at about 6:50 right now--past the worst of the nose dive, but living with my parents and pinching every possible penny for upcoming adventures. I traveled quite a bit while still in school, so I already know it's my cure. :) Anyhow, thanks for this video and for your whole message--it's the one I want to spend my life sharing too. Happiest of birthdays! I look forward to keeping up with you!

Happy Birthday Nadine and great video. Watching your videos back in 2010 (when you were in Jamaica with Charles and Alli) was part of what inspired me to start traveling. I haven't made it to New Zealand yet but it's still on the list :)

Amazing Jon!! Seriously thank you for sticking with me all these years and GO to NZ. it's like the best place EVER!

I love this vid, I can't thank you enough for sharing your experiences with us! I had severe depression and anxiety for about two years, now that I am a lot better I am picking up the pieces and dealing with the aftermath (extreme weight gain, loss of most of my 'friends', poor grades etc.). I have always wanted to travel and now at 22 it is finally happening, I've saved up the money and l am going to the Netherlands to study for a month and I am going to try to stay overseas for as long as possible. I am leaving the day after Christmas day and I can't wait! I am hoping it changes my life like it changed yours :).

Happy Birthday, Nadine! Thanks for making this. I too went through similar things as you. It's nice to know there are other people in this world that can relate. I hope you have a fantastic day! :)

Thanks for sharing your story! I've been in a small depressive state ever since I moved to another country but had to move back to my native country due to my dad's job, and ever since nothing's made me happy. I'm behind with college, I suffer from social anxiety, I live such a boring life with so many routines.. I wish I could nothing else but travelling. I haven't done much so far, but I plan to go to Europe next year, so hopefully it'll happen!

thank you for being such an inspiring person ❤

Happy Birthday Nadine! Your story is absolutely wonderful! I love travelling myself and i hope i'd be able to take a year off after i graduate dentistry and just travel the world

Hey Nadine

Lovely....Happy Birthday!!

unlike many draw my life videos this one made sense, this was honest and real

Hey Nadine! I totally understand that this wonderful video has been aimed towards young, vibrant youth ... However, I wanted to share with you that this video has inspired a late-thirties lost and uninspired gal. We have similar experiences. Booking my next adventure tomorrow. I might even start vlogging my experience. Thank you! Keep up the great work! Btw, I'm in BC too!

Some people underestimate the power of traveling and visiting new places, the insight it can give you on life is priceless! Oh, happy birthday btw :)

You did inspire me❤️ god bless you nadine!

You are such an inspiration!

I am in the exact same situation right now. I'm living at home and working part-time to try to pay off student debt, so traveling isn't really an option. This video made it seem that much more appealing though. I'm happy you've been able to come out of your depression!

Happy birthday! :) (love this video

Happy birthday nadine!! Glad I found you :)

i love you nadine.. thank you so much for sharing your story with us..

Omg! Omg! AMAZING VIDEO, I really like your video😍😍 ✈✈ and... HAPPY BIRTHDAY 😃🎈🎁🎉✈✈ I would like travel with you😊✈✈
