Bec 🧡🧡🧡 this video was so enjoyable, I loved it. I think we had never seen this side of you because you were always with Eamon, and as an extrovert he's probably the one handling many of the interactions, but I could feel you SO much with every single interaction now that you were solo, as well as every time you held the camera up in public --- My introverted heart felt really in tune with yours. Again, I felt this video so deeply, so thank you for sharing! ☀ Have a wonderful Sunday!
As someone who just uprooted her whole life to move to a new state I completely LOVED this video. A nice reminder to take some chances and not let me fiancé do all the talking and friend meeting for me. Go Bec. Proud of you!!
Ahh I love this!! So many beautiful moments ❤️ So proud of you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and for making the most of your time alone! Fully agree though, life is so so much better shared. Sending you both so much love!
OMG you had litteraly the same experience in the hostel I had 11 years ago, roomates arrived pretty late, mosquitos bites everywhere! 😂 Love you Bec! You are so inspiring! ❤️
My first time to comment here, but I loved this episode for so many reasons, but you have truly inspired me to get back to travel. My last solo trip was 2018 and then Covid happened and I have had no desire to travel since. Till now. Thank you. You are a true inspiration!
This was such an inspiration❤️ Bec you are an inspiration❤️ I love your light so much!!! I’ve never met you in person but I feel like you could be anyones friend in any place you go! You’re such a strong soul and ahhh I just love this!
Bec, as a single introvert, I’ve been travelling solo for over 40 years and I love it! Of course there are some things I don’t do alone for safety reasons. I was quite surprised to learn that solo travel was outside your comfort zone. Frankly, anyone who has been through what you have over the past year has climbed much higher mountains than solo travel. You got this, girl! ❤️ 🇨🇦
So true, so true ! Bec is an inspiration and I am so glad she did this solo trip. She will look back on it and feel so proud of herself. After cancer and treatment I wanted to do things I had avoided for years ...nothing as challenging as this but I was happy with my progress nonetheless. Way to go Bec !!!
This was one of my favorite videos of yours. What parts of Africa do you recommend and what cities in India? Been following these adventures since before the world shut down when you had to abandon ship but this got me so inspired by your journey! When you said you're grateful to be alive I nearly cried. I suffer from bipolar and it's so hard but I too am thankful to be here. Wish I had a friend like you and Eamon are but now I know I can travel solo when I choose so thank you!! Love, Lena
Ohhhhh I burst into tears when you were having your fancy hotel brekky. So happy for you Bec. Have watched your travels for 6 or more years and this moved me.
Hey, Bec, awesome seeing you get out there and live it up on your solo adventure! Just wanted to add a tip that you can download an area of google maps for offline use so that way you can get around without maxing your data. :)
Female solo traveler (in her 60s). Started traveling alone about 7 years ago because I got tired of waiting for someone to go with me. Wouldn't change it for the world (and I have seen the world). Always out of my comfort zone the first day but then I realize I can do this! Went to Milan and Lake Como a year ago this month...absolutely stunning. Can't wait for my next adventure. Congratulations on all you have done this year!
I started traveling alone for the same reason... Nobody would actually go! I like being on my own anyway, but I'm so happy I've been able to have experiences rather than waiting on "one day".
You are absolutely amazing! It’s not easy to go out & do things all alone. Especially when you’ve gotten used to the comfort of a significant other. I can totally feel for you. When I met my husband I was 36 so I was just fine doing things on my own, but now 12 years later, the anxiety kicks in to go & do something all alone. Maybe I need to challenge myself. 😉
I'm a cancer survivor myself 12 years now. I'm so glad you are finding yourself after that experience it changes you in so many ways but they are all for the better version of ourselves! You are truly like a breath of fresh air on your trip alone! LOL had me in tears! Be blessed. :)
Italy is stunning and the Italians are some of the nicest, friendliest people! not to mention the food - oh the food is DIVINE!!! we were just there in September and had the best time! Walking is definitely the best way to see everything and you get to really see the city (and burn all the pasta and gelato 😆). So lovely to see you enjoy yourself Bec! ❤❤
Thank you all SO much for joining me on this solo travel vlog! I still cannot believe I did this 😬 !!! Would you challenge yourself to something this outside your comfort zone?!
@AlleyAL58 I agree, This world is constantly changing and people seem to change as well….there are still nice and caring people in this world but just please be careful and stay safe out there 🙂
This is similar to what I did last week, I came early for a business trip and stayed at a hostel over the weekend and then moved to a hotel the rest of the week - made me really appreciate the hotel. Pros and cons of solo travel but I like being able to do exactly what I want, but its all about the people so shout out to the American and Canadian girls I met on the bus and my coulleges from around Europe. Love from Sweden / Switzerland
Looks amazing. I recently completed 72 days travelling mostly alone from Spain to Paris- Brighton- London- Scotland for a wildlife cruise- Shetland Islands- Newcastle ferry to Amsterdam. A few places in Germany then met a friend for a river cruise to Budapest. Was alone for 60 days & no planes. Am 58 & my darling husband died January 2022 that's why I was alone
Loved this video Bec, I did a few solo trips after a long time of not doing much at all. It was some of the most interesting experiences I've had. I'm so glad you are healing and healthy. X
Bec, that was one of the most beautiful videos ever! Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent and grateful and nervous and sad and joyful and showing us what a strong, independent woman you are. I'm, too, and so thankful you are alive! I cried right along with you.
Love this, I loved watching and am still enjoying the warm fuzzy feelings from the end of the video!!!! BUT I also had a protective mama bear issue shouting at my computer "what??!!?? oh nooooooooo" as soon as you booked the hostile. Nevermind push out the chesticles cause she'll figure it out. Back to the gorgeous views beautifully captured on the bus/train ride. The Amalfi coast is my dream location I swear if I put my nose any closer to the screen I would have been shocked. Oh la la!!! Full disclosure I was also speaking out loud saying get it girl. Get that gelato. Get that hotel. Get outside for the sunset. Get room service. Get it!!! I also knew there would be a surreal emotionally charged moment. As you looked out the window sitting at the table alone I held my breath having faced death myself those quiet moments alone are much more. Happy tears, pinch yourself, take it all in. Yes it is real, yes you are done surviving you are thriving, you are living in the moment. That location and the fancy dress moment was perfect. Don't you dare leave that place without Eamon. Get your person!!! Eamon did not disappoint. I hope he kissed you in that glass elevator. Who knew cheering for strangers could be so amazing. Much love from the Bruce Peninsula!
I def teared up for you a few times. Life is precious and it’s inspiring to see you living to the fullest, pushing your comfort zone and always having love 💕 The reunion with Eamon was so sweet too.
Hi Bics I'm jeN I really enjoyed watching your blogs since your 1st video I think I have already watch all of your uploads 🤗 you inspired me alot I'm 26 having a ovarian cancer stage 3 and my 1st chemo was just last week you inspired me alot to keep on moving looking forward for more videos from you Love Jen ❤️🤗😘
Well done Bec, you two are amazing! In February of this year, after 2 years of not being able to leave the country to see my daughter and grandchildren in Florida I at the age of 69 left Nova Scotia with my 6 year old Yorkie and drove by myself to Fort Lauderdale area. It took me 4 days to cover 3400 kilometres. I had never done anything like that before, I like you always leaned on my husband or someone else. What a feeling of empowerment!! My immediate family had some concerns, but we had driven the same route multiple times before. I left early in the morning, stopped driving before dark, took multiple breaks for gas, for the dog and myself. I would not hesitate to do it again, not sure if hubby will be able to go this winter or not. However at the age of 70 now I feel like I can do anything! I am healthy and active so I should be good. Heck I just completed a challenge and walked 112 kilometres in 11 days. I guess what I am saying is you can do anything you want even if you are fearful, you just have to want it badly enough!
I was diagnosed with cancer at 27 in 2020 and thankfully currently in remission. I feel like even though I live a very different life compared to you guys, I love that you share your feelings and journey of your recovery! I am so happy and proud that you are living everyday with such a grateful and happy heart! Bec, you inspire me everyday to look at the brighter side of life! ❤️
Awe thank you for sharing your story Hannah ❤. I am so happy you are experiencing life after cancer and all of the amazing lessons we can learn from that ❤
The sunset view from that balcony was so beautiful it literally brought tears to my eyes. Because seeing it thru you was amazing but my heart knew that due to my own physical limitations it was another place I would never experience after my accident. And followed by the conversation from you about being grateful to be alive, I bawled. It reminded me that even though I will probably never experience that view that took my breath away personally, I am still alive and that I survived something that could have ended my life. Thank you for reminding me to not see the things I don’t have but to be thankful that I have the most important thing, my life, and I shouldn’t take that for granted. ❤
Wow Tammy! Your words really touched me and I am happy my adventures touched you in such a positive way! Sending virtual hugs for healing, strength and love! 🤗🥰🤗🥰
I’m literally crying as I watch this…for many reasons…just thinking of your journey with Lee, your journey with cancer, your solo journey traveling, your giving spirit, the very necessary time to be alone and stop and allow all your emotions to surface (even though I know you are always in touch with your emotions but connecting with them when alone for an extended period hits different) and also I’m just full of joy for you and Eamon that you have each other and always live in appreciation of that love but after the past two years, I’m sure it’s so much more ever present - the awareness. Sending you both big hugs and thanks for allowing us into this special time of your life. When I saw you get the pedicure and book the Lake Como room…I kept thinking…your family and Eamon must have been so happy to see you treat yourself. Finally, I just wanted to say that it looks like you maybe didn’t get to explore Bergamo…it’s such a cute town so if you haven’t toured it, definitely go up the tram and walk around next time you fly out of there.
Yes all of this exactly! I’ve wanted to leave a comment saying exactly this but could never find the words, you said it perfectly though. Both Eamon and Bec inspire me to show gratitude, be giving and overall just be the best version of myself I can be. Absolutely love them and their videos
Thank you for this super sweet, super thoughtful comment Leigh 💛🌞. It’s definitely been a challenging couple of years but we have so much gratitude and appreciation for our love (the thing that keeps us going!)
Loved this episode so much...Bec, you conquered cancer, now you should already know you can conquer anything!!! You made the most of your solo venture, and it definitely inspired other women to know they can do it too. 🤟
This video was simply beautiful and left me smiling uncontrollably throughout! The reunion at the end got me choked up. Cheers to you Bec! So happy for you! Treat yo self!!
Fellow introvert here. Any time I travel I am always reminded that i don’t understand how people can just make new friends in the cities they are traveling because forcing myself to be outgoing enough is terrifying and not even something I am comfortable with in my daily life. This is so inspiring. I’m making friends during my next travels. I’m doing it
@Melissa T. Other introverts probably aren't going to want to pal around with strangers though. Talking to strangers is one thing, making real friends is something else. Eamon has a real skill with this, although last week the other guy came to him.
I'm a big time introvert and the only time I talk to people on flights is if I'm sitting next to a parent with a kid or a person with an animal. Otherwise I read the whole time.
You can do it! Also just remember other travelers are introverted too! The most rewarding experiences that I have had are the ones that make me uncomfortable. [not unsafe feeling, but uncomfortable].
This was the sweetest - ever! As a solo female traveler who loves hostels and public transportation, I totally enjoyed this video. I appreciate you stepping out, taking charge, and having a good time!
Looks like you and Eamon had a great time. Europe is just a great place to travel. The history is so rich in each and every country that you go through. We lived in Europe for 16 years and loved it. If I was young enough to do it again I would. But now travel is limited for the booth of us because of are age. Not because the want is gone but are health declines as you get older so live your life like you will never grow old and you will always have great memories of all the places you have visited and traveled. Have a great time and be careful and have fun.
I adore Eamon but I think this is one of my favourite videos of yours. I smiled pretty much all the way through it. Seriously Bec, you are an incredible human being xxxxx
I loooove that you did this bec!! We’re all used to seeing BRvidrs travel around the world being carefree, it feels great knowing someone like you who has travelled a great deal experiences the same kind of stress as I do and yet you still do it
These past episodes bring me back to old Eamon and Bec and i forgot how much i missed it cause the content has still been amazing but so different. Love these so much and how empowering this episode is❤ Favourite people
As someone who has been through serious illness as well and come out the other side, I really felt it when you wept a little over breakfast because you are just so grateful to be alive. It is a heavy thing to say and it is beautiful. Look after yourself Bec!
Crying happy tears. The ending is so sweet, you walking out the door and opening your arms as the camera pulls out into the world. It’s like you’re in a new beginning, new doors opening, walking with your head held high and arms wide open for whatever comes!!! So much love for you and Eamon!!
Dearest Bec, as my husband and I sat down to indulge in your solo trip, we couldn’t help but feel so elated for you!! You have come so far in the last year and are so deserving of this epic adventure!! Power on girl!! You are a true inspiration! We love you both so much!
I have been following your channel for years, have watched all of your videos, and this is by far my favorite. It's so down-to-earth, real, and relatable. What's more is it is validating in so many ways. Thank you for being vulnerable and for being you.
Having survived more than 6 years of being told I was dying and going through some extremely difficult moments I can attest that life after is not always easy even in the greatest moments. It is hard to reconcile with the beauty of life when in the back of your head you are reminded that it could taken from you in a flash. These emotions sometimes overtake you in the weirdest moments and people who have not lived it cannot understand. Continue to be inspired to reach for the impossible.
This video is everything. Bec, you are radiant and absolutely fearless. Your journey lately has been a challenge but my goodness you're bossed it! And....that hotel at the end, just wow! No wonder you were emotional. Eamon that challenge was genius! The scene at the end where you were reunited made me feel so happy. You're both inspirational incredible humans. Sending oceans of love from the sleepy Dorset countryside Xx
Oh, Bec, that was such a powerful vlog. Keep doing this. You are encouraging single women, and those who move through the world with a s.o., to be brave and spread their travel solo wings. I'm sure it's a blast to travel with Eamon, but girl, you were glowing on this trip. Thanks for showing us the way! ❤
Congratulations Bec, this was so incredibly amazing to watch. To see you shine so bright after the year you've had :) thank you for being such an inspiration :)
I loved this SO much. Thank you for being so open, vulnerable, and real. Your last words really resonated with me, "I'm thankful to be alive." THIS. Thank you, thank you for this incredibly powerful video.
Well done, Bec! I had no doubt that you, with your high vibrational energy, would conquer your fears. ❤️ I LOVE travelling alone. I conquered my first experience of vanlife from July to October of this year. Travelling from BC to Ontario then to the maritimes and then back to BC. 🇨🇦 It was so empowering that I cannot wait until the spring, to do it all over again! ❤️
Im crying. My heart is so full. I LOVED watching this Bec. You are such a wonderful story teller, I feel like I could’ve watched this adventure for hours. Have the best best time in Lake Como you two xx
I smiled through the whole video. Even though my wife and I are in our 60’s we travel like you did. We don’t plan ahead, walk every where, immerse ourselves in the culture and most importantly we make a new friend every day. ❤️🇨🇦
Loved your bravery! Although after what you have been through this past year I can't imagine anything that is beyond your strength and voyage. You go girl!
Hey Bec! You made me tear up, traveling by yourself, filming, enjoying yourself… God knows you earned it. Also had a couple of days of van life solo, empowering and challenging experience (introvert here 🙋🏼♀️)! Sending you love from the Bulgarian roads.
I am very proud of you Bec! As well i find it super inspiring leaving the own comfort zone intentional. As I’m on a journey (in a spiritual and self growing way :D) learning to find my own happiness, your solo trip video really helped me and it felt like a safe space for me. Thank you so much for inspiring me and you did such a great job at putting yourself out of your own comfort zoome ❤❤
Sooo proud of you Bec! Traveling alone international can be nerve racking but also character building and . . . I don’t quite have the words right now but I feel you lady.
This video hit me hard. I lost my husband a couple of years ago and eating out, alone, was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Lots of tears shed but also some good memories as I ate at our favorite places. And you are right, doing hard things makes you stronger and makes you appreciate more the people who are still in your life. You are very inspiring, thank you.
I've hear so many bad things about Ryan Air, cheap or not I will not fly Ryan Air, cause Bec is right they they will gouge you on lots of extra, but they also have a high flight cancelation rate here in Europe.
