This is an amazing video! Very detailed and engaging ❤. And yeah, you’re in negril which is in a different parish from Mo bay 😅 but there’s a Riu in both so it’s confusing, LOL
Hello! Yes, you're totally right haha! I basically used Negril and Montego interchangeably (even though I'm aware they're quite different) given Negril is a lesser known town and the nearest major airport is Montego hehe! I'm happy you enjoyed the video and definitely appreciate the kind words - means a lot. I def want to return and maybe visit the RIU in actual Mo Bay haha! Thanks!!!
@@illustratedbySadehaha no worries! Yeah, I hear great things about the Mo bay one also! I hope to visit the Riu for my honeymoon thanks to your video ❤🙏🏽
Amazing and detailed video tour!

Thanks for sharing. This morning I was thinking deeply about friendship. I have no close friends currently. The close friendships I’ve had in high school and college have faded…in some cases we had disagreements and in others the communication faded. With a busy life and career, I haven’t managed to make any new friends that’s I’d be close with in the last few years. I do feel lonely sometimes. I’ve been carry some friendships from high school and college but I don’t feel like they are going anywhere, because I find there’s too much walking on eggshells are them and I think they can be very insecure. So just this morning I made a conscious decision to let go off those friends. They are not good for my soul and for what I’m looking for in friendships, namely closeness, respect, connection, openness and vulnerability and compassion.
Ooo I feel this 💯 Growing up, my friendships have always been super important to me so it’s been heartbreaking when they have faded. I felt like I went through a grieving process as I got older and either some of us moved away, got married, and started families. I wasn’t prepared for that shift initially. But now I have a better understanding that I can still cherish those relationships from my past while also recognizing that expanding past the confines of those friendships is absolutely normal and often necessary for personal growth. And to your point, letting go can be freeing…making space for yourself is pretty powerful so kudos to you. 🙌🏽💯 Thank you SO much for watching and sharing your story. I can relate more than you know. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾 It used to hurt my feelings when a friend or friends stop responding to my text or talk to me, but now I don’t care because I know that God will always be there. ❤🎉 Thanks for sharing this!!
💯 Friends are like the family that you choose so it makes sense that it would be sad when those friendship dynamics change. It’s also something I’m still learning to cope with as I get older and especially learning that it’s ok. 🙌🏽 Thank you so much for watching and for the kind feedback. 🙏🏽
My pleasure and thanks for the inputs! ❤️❤️
Love this so real!!!
Thank you for so much for the kind feedback and thank you for watching. 🙏🏽 Means a lot ☺️
No worries! Im in Australia so you are reaching this far! Great job
I feel like you were talking to me!!! Let me get to cleaning!!!!
😩😂😂🙌🏽
This one's on my list except for.the elevation gains lol
It’s brutal 😩😅 but totally worth it 💪🏽☺️
Thank you. Appreciate your time and those tips. Last thing, Are those tickets in metro can also be use in buses or its a separate ticket when going within madrid or other city? ;)
You have to purchase separate tickets for: the metro (which is only in the city center region); Renfe (which is the long distance-intercity train); and separate tickets for long-distance bus. The metro/subway 🚇 is local. The trains 🚆 are for long distance. Buses 🚍 are for both local and long distances. There may be a metro (local) pass that also covers local buses but if you’re talking a bus long distance, you’ll have to purchase a ticket separately.
Thanks again :)) that is much clearer. Did you tried renfe train , if so, does it need to print the ticket or does it work scanning thru the gate scanner?
@osaabi8371 Of course! Happy to help! I think I had a printed ticket because I had purchased it last minute at the Station Ticket Office. They might have an app but I cannot recall nor am sure, unfortunately. :/
You highlighted my hometown very good 👍🏽😊, I hope you continue to enjoy the city, I miss the food
Hi, Troy! Thanks for the kind feedback and for watching! Baltimore is a vibe. Can’t wait to explore more of Maryland. 🙏🏽☺️
HI Sade, thanks for sharing your experience travelling in Leon. I am planning to go there this summer, its my first time. I dont speak in spanish. What airport did you get off and what is the best transportation from airport to go to Leon, spain? Also, Is it easy to travel within Leon city? Going to Leon city and suburb did you by train or bus? Thanks.
hello 👋🏽 thanks for the kind feedback and for watching! Leon is a small quaint town. You’ll have a lovely time. We travelled to other cities during this trip so my entry airport was Madrid. We spent a few days in Salamanca and traveled by bus to Leon. And actually, when departing Leon, I took a direct train back to Madrid so that would be my suggestion - train to/from Leon/Madrid. If you’re planning on traveling to other cities, however, Spain is very commuter-friendly. If there isn’t a train station, there’s likely a bus depot that can get you to your next destination. While in Leon, the city is very walkable. If you plan on visiting the caves while in Leon, we hired a driver who also waited while we took the cave tour and then drove us back to our hostel. Bc Leon is a smaller town, you might find fewer people who speak English (as you saw the free walking tour is in Spanish but still worth it). But not to worry, Google translate always helps. 😅 Happy and safe travels to you!
Thanks for those great tips. How about going within Madrid area, does it need train card bc i plan to go for a month, i am thinking getting a train card to go point to point, if there such unlimited rides good for a month? Also, which hostel in Leon did you go to? Isn't pricey ? Is it worth it? Thanks. :))
Hello there! We stayed at La Madriguera Hostel. It’s been a few years since I last visited but I recall it being fairly reasonably priced and comparable to other hostels of that caliber.
Are you referring to a metro card for Madrid? If you’ll be spending some time there, I think it would make sense to get a monthly or multi-ride pass. For the long distance, intercity trains, however, there are so many that I’d say you can book closer, if not the day of/day before, you depart to the next city if you’re not certain of your travel dates. If you know exactly when you’ll be traveling, then I’d recommend booking in advance to ensure a secured seat. Hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions. 👍🏽
@@illustratedbySade Appreciate a lot your time taking time to answer. Thank you. Btw, Is Salamanca worth staying there? Did you go by metro from madrid airport ? Isnt not that far from centro madrid? Tnx. :))
Awesome video! Great editing and storytelling. It was so cool to see your travels and latest updates!!! Can’t wait to visit Brussels again. Like and support from Bangalore
Hi! Thank you so much for the kind feedback and for watching! Greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽☺️ Happy and Safe travels to you!
HiTthere, I have reviewed your KZread channel and videos in depth and found the video content to be amazing and there is a lot of room to grow. If you allow me I will give you some tips about your videos which will help you a lot to grow your videos 1. Video title, description, thumbnail SEO is not done 2. No use of relevant tags, search ranking keywords 3. Endscreen and card not added 4. No sharing on various social media 5. No SEO score 90+ And all these things are supported by the KZread algorithm So if you solve these tasks properly then the views, comments, shares, subscribes will increase day by day. Thank you
I appreciate that. Thanks for much for watching and for your constructive feedback! 🙏🏽☺️
First, you will get much better results by doing a video SEO yourself
@krisibaribd 👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You can do SEO but you may not have time to do SEO. can i help you
I hope that you are well? I have been watching your channel videos deeply for the last 10 days and I have seen that the channel videos are amazing but the views are not increasing as such. Problems I noticed in the channel's videos that you might find helpful to talk about...... 1. Create Suggest Score 6/20 2. Ranking tags are not used 3. Facebook did not share 4. Endscreen , Cards and chapters did not add 5. Title,description, tags are shots and high ranking tags are not used 6. Video SEO Score 0 /100 7. Video Title KZread Search Results 20/100 Apart from these there are many other issues which if solved quickly will increase your views and subscribes overnight. I can send the problems to your email if you want to see.
I love your eye for detail. What a fun vlog! Come back anytime, you hear! Greetz from Amsterdam xxx
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I def hope to visit again someday soon. 🙏🏽
I loved Laz’s dance moves the most!!
He got that 2 step on lock! 😆
I also had a great time when I went to a temple in Bangkok before! It’s even prettier in the video!💕
Hi! I’m glad you also had an amazing time. Thailand is an incredible country, will so much to explore. Videos and photos don’t do it justice. 🙌🏽 🇹🇭❤️
This is amazing! Thank you so much for making this video. It’s really helpful to hear your perspective! Good luck on your adventures!
Hi! 👋🏽 Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for watching! Happy and safe travels to you as well. 🙏🏽☺️
Useful video, thank you! my gf and I are considering
Hi, my pleasure! Glad you found it helpful and thanks for the kind feedback. Wishing you all the best!
5 minutes in and I find your video very insightful
Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback! 🙏🏽 much appreciated
❤I loved your video, thank you. I have a question: If I, as a woman, travel to Bahrain to visit my boyfriend who lives there, will I have any problem staying at his house even if we are not married?
Hi, there! Thanks for watching and for your kind feedback! 🙏🏽😊 You’ll find that Bahrain is more progressive than Saudi, so the answer is no issues at all. I’d see young couples out enjoying their evening at cafes or the movies. Women do dress more conservatively and you won’t really see people showing PDA but for the most part, people mind their business like they would in any other place. As long as you don’t plan on having a baby while unmarried, visiting your bf should be no problem hehe! You’ll love Bahrain. It’s chill and super safe. They have incredible restaurants, a few bars/night clubs, and lots of malls for shopping. More foreigners live there than local people, so it’s quite diverse. Most people speak English. It’s great and you’ll have an amazing time. ☺️🙌🏽
@@illustratedbySade, gracias 😅❤
Hello! I have watched your KZread channel and several videos. Your channel has many videos but not enough views and subscribers. Your channel should be optimized, your videos are very good but your video optimization is not perfect Example: According to VidiQ analysis: Video SEO score is 0 out of 100 - which should be 80+, no SEO friendly tags are added, no social media sharing platform. Because of this, your video is not reaching interested people. If you solve this problem, your channel will get more views, subscribers and monetization very quickly. If you intend to use your channel for professional purposes, you should immediately optimize your KZread videos for SEO. As a video SEO expert, I am interested in SEO optimizing your channel videos. I noticed some errors in your "new york diaries | fun weekend w/friends, "Tea Around Town" bus tour + brooklyn Olivia Dean concert" videos. I'll be waiting for your response. Thank you.
Hi, there! 👋🏽 thank you soooo much for watching and for your feedback! I’ve def taken note and intend on going back to implement changes to increase my SEO scores. I’ve mostly been focusing on just producing good content but I understand that SEO is important as well. Thank you! 🙏🏽
I also saw that and understood that your content is good but the videos are not SEO. You can SEO the videos if you want. By doing this the views will increase organically day by day and even the videos will continue to rank. Thanks for your reply.
Oh i am British I lived in beautiful Bahrain for over 20 years its amazing safe and chilled, You can dress what you want at the beach or at the club but be a little conservative during the daytime as they take pride in cleanliness and style.
Hi! Yes, Bahrain is amazing. I lived there for 2 years and it quickly felt like home. 🙌🏽
@@illustratedbySade Awesome, I miss Ricks for the breakfast
Hey Sade, do you have any information what it is like for senior to live in Kodaikanal? How does the weather impact arthritis? How about the elevation and impact on the respiratory system. I am not a senior yet. :) but planning for my retirement in next 10 yrs.
Hello! Thanks for watching and for your comment. I have not visited Kodaikanal so my knowledge is very limited; however, my good friend in this video has and has advised that it is beautiful and with lots of trees and green landscapes. The town is more rural so possibly less vehicular pollution than you might get in the larger cities, which should reduce any negative impact to your respiratory system. She says that the weather can get humid and hot in the warmer months. So keep that mine as well with respect to any arthritic ailments. The warmer weather might be better on your joints but definitely best to consult a medical professional. Overall, though, I’m told wonderful things about the beauty of Kodaikanal. My friend said that you should be very happy there should you choose it as your future home. I hope this helps and best of luck to you and your future endeavors! 🙏🏽☺️
@@illustratedbySade Thank you for the info. For some reason, from videos I have seen I fell in love with south India. My ancestors are from various parts of India but not South India. Would love to visit south India one day before I retire to explore. The visa situation to live in India is problematic because you can only stay 6 mths at a time in the country then stay out for 2 mths then come back for another 6mths and the cycle repeats. I don’t think I can afford fly back and forth and when I retire, who wants to fly back and forth. I don’t know any immigration officer in India to ask what is an alternative.
@roja7426 I’ve also heard that the landscapes of the south our breathtaking. Super excited for your journey back to your motherland! Since it’s your ancestral home, perhaps there are options for you to request citizenship? I hope everything works out! 🙏🏽
🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏽🙏🏽☺️
That transition though 👏🏽😭
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽☺️
Thanks Sade! Your tips and sharing your experiences have given me more confidence on traveling solo as a woman in Sri Lanka!

Crap
