    Whatever you decide to do with your channel is not up to us, do what makes you feel comfortable, happy, and excited. If that means stepping back a bit and producing less videos but feeding your creative juices, then so be it. We’ ll keep watching girl 😊

Excited for more about Paris!

    Congratulations on taking the leap! I've been living in Paris for 3 years and I remember those vulnerable early days. Now I'm more comfrotable doing things alone at my own pace: reading, visiting, sitting at a cafe for hours with no pressure to keep ordering or leave. In terms of your content, I'd love to see how it feels to be steeped in Parisian culture after living in the States for so many years.

    I found your channel 2 years ago when I was planning my first trip to Paris and its been one of my fav channels ever since! Its so hard to find original and beautifully made vlogs. I think theres so much “short” videos out there and what I love about yours is that they are longer but have so much value and beauty! I would def miss them but I also understand what its like to be uninspired!

    Please don't take a break! Your videos inspire me so much. Despite the long journey on KZread or the lack of creativity I think your videos aren't repetitive because they show different stages of your life. For instante specially for you might seem just the same but it's part of the daily life and of the evolution. You can just post not so regularly! But at the end its your decision :)

    Hiiii, as a French (from the south east not Paris), living in Toronto for the past 10 years and sharing my own experience on social ... I LOOOOOVE watching other people move to my country! About your French, let's be honest it's a hard language, but now you are surrounded by French you'll learn faster. I moved to Toronto with a broken English and after 6 months I was already feeling so much better. I actually about the reality of moving somewhere speaking fluently the language. You might feel lonely sometimes because you don't understand everything around you, even stupid because you can't respond as fast as you would in English. But just want you to know: its normal and I felt the same! But now I'm fluent in English and can't imagine a life where I didn't speak English! Sending love and support from Toronto!

    Don’t let your mindset limit you with French!! A lot of language learning is really about mindset, and it sounds like you have a bit of a fixed mindset about not feeling naturally good at learning languages. I moved to Spain as an English speaker and working on shifting my mindset to a growth mindset has made a huge different in fluency. Channel the confidence of a white man speaking a second language and you will fly 🦅

Please give us more Paris content, it is lovely :) Also maybe you can make some content, how do you choose your clothing items? You have quite good taste, and it's not that because you're trendy, it is basically you know what goes well with your personality, and body. And I think everyone has something to learn from that :) Anyways, you are doing great, being very inspiring and real, and I love your content :)
