For the luggage, an important one is also to take a picture of it, my luggage got lost, at that time I didn't speak English well, having a picture of my luggage on my phone saved me that day! I could never have described it without that picture. They found it 10 days after 😅
I have a great travel advices: 1. you should have with you when you're travelling a powerwall set of adapters ! 2. have a metalic case for 5 cards (cred cards, debit cards, you name it) with rfid blockage.
The third one is super creepy... ok, I understand hitting on someone when they’re awake, but kissing someone who you’re not together with, while they’re asleep... that’s just a whole new level of creepy...
I remember someone had the exact same suitcase as me and I picked theirs, they picked up mine. Didn't realise until I got to the hotel and opened it, luckily I went back to the airport and they were still there so I got it back
So MANY great recommendations!!! So sorry you had an unwanted experience while traveling. I remember I specifically paid for single rooms while traveling for that fear. I had an experience on the train from Genoa to Milan. It was a very threatening experience where my friend and I thought we may end up getting attacked. I literally changed from my long dress into jeans, flannel, hiking boots, hat and pretended to be a guy so it did not look like two women alone in a train car. One of the guys started to come into our cabin and then his friend grabbed him and took him away. Later at the Milan station he saw we were in fact both women and his face became so angry and twisted. We were so glad to have thwarted what could have been a terrible trip!
It really pisses me off that young women cannot travel anywhere alone without constantly looking over their shoulders for sexual predators. FFS why can't people just leave them alone and allow them to live and enjoy their lives without the constant fear that someone may try to take sexual advantage of them!! Oh, and surprise surprise; I am male and I have every sympathy with the ladies!
I didn't expect you to be such a daring explorer ) Her kid's going to clubs with random girls is one of the worst nightmares of any caring mother, I think. Totally agree about emergency money and not only when you're travelling. Surely you don't have to feel sorry about that kiss. If you had been asleep, there is no way to blame yourself. Noone can flirt asleep, that's obvious. Love from Ukraine. )
Pessimistic as I am, I was expecting several "It's just a kiss, don't make a fuzz!" comments. Glad I haven't found a single one so far. If it stays that way, I have to say, that you either have the best audience ever, Lucy, or times are truly about to change in that regard. Good news either way. :-)
7:04-11:20 I agree with Lucy about heeding that instinctive feeling. I will support and back up Lucy regarding this topic, as I add to Lucy’s advice about fallowing instincts, I invite all who read this comment to ponder and consider this fact: The feeling Lucy experienced is greater than an instinct; she felt the power of the Holy Ghost warning her in a still small voice that the man had been plotting ill intentions to take advantage of her. The Holy Ghost warned her about the dangers the man was plotting, and Lucy would have been safe to heed that instinctive prompting. To summarize, when you sense that feeling in your bosom and receive ideas, heed it, and head to safety, also if you feel an impression to do something good for someone else, this is the Holy Ghost communicating in a still small voice in the form of thoughts and feelings that the things you should do are the right thing. Trust that feeling.
I know I'm few months late to comment on this but I have a good tip. As someone who has took many risks traveling at a young age I recommend you to have a silent alarm. That is someone who is going to know who you are with and where you're going to be at all times. It can be a friend that is travelling with you or someone back at home. Send to your silent alarm friend a group picture of the people you're going out and all the details you know about what you're going to do. This person should know EVERYTHING, so choose someone you trust. you and your chosen silent alarm should be in touch from time to time during the night and always check on each other the next morning. If something happens to you (fingers crossed it doesn't) your friend can talk to someone for help. It is so sad we have to do this when we go out, but personally, I felt much safer when I went out abroad or having dates when I was single. Hope it helps.
Do make sure you've got your phone with you wherever you go. It's actually a little bit funny but my aunt needed to go for a pee, she said sth to the driver but either he didn't hear her properly or forgot about it, I'm not sure. My aunt did her thing, then she saw that the bus wasn't there! It was dark, in the middle of nowhere and luckily she got her phone so she could call her friends (friends who were with her on that trip but who were fast asleep at that time :>). The bus turned around and all was well :) But she was quite scared when she realized the bus left! Sorry for any mistakes, I'm still learning tenses :) Ps. I love the ending of this video 😁
" Take risks but don't trust people too much" This is what I needed such a positive veb Lucy .it means a lot Everyone's there for a gd tym not a long time.🙏🙏 valuable words❤️
Oh, Lucy, I'm very sorry for what happened to you! I think many of us girls -if not all, can relate with that mix of feelings. Please, don't blame yourself. He clearly had an agenda, he put you in that situation and knew he was doing wrong, otherwise wouldn't have waited until you were asleep. God, I'm so enraged.
Yes. Absolutely. You are right. Lucy being so humble is talking like its her fault. Its not. She is such a sweetheart and very very friendly . Sometimes guys takes being friendly as a sign for love or attraction.
An interesting thing is that we see a not invited kiss as an assault, which I agree, because is abusive. But some Disney princesses have been woken up with a kiss from a total stranger, even if princes and we still see that as romantic. How is that?
I can totally relate to this feeling and situation unfortunately. I went to visit a befriended family when I was 15. Even though I went there often with my family, it felt uncomfortable to be there alone and stay for a week because I noticed that the guy (this story is about) was looking at me in a very unpleasant way. But I didn't mind as my family trusted him (he was 34 I think) and I did too. The problem was also that his kids went to a school trip and his wife has stayed at her sister's home since day 4 so nobody could see that coming. I even had a room for me so I didn't feel any danger coming up. But on the fourth night his housekeeper went grocery shopping without taking me as I slept in too long. And when I woke up I saw him millimetres away from me and I was panicked and stunned as I couldn't think, move, do anything. He misused this moment, raped me several times and left me there. I remember well that I couldn't cry and I couldn't tell anyone that. It literally took me 5 years to tell my parents and my best friend about this incident. My family realized that there was some problem and it led to no contact with them in future. But every time they asked me about what happened there I couldn't talk. It was hurtful. Even though you might know people, don't ever trust them. I can talk now about this freely without bursting into tears but this took me a lot of time, literally 5 years to tell somebody and again about 3 years to talk normally about it. Keep you guys safe, trust your gut, even if everybody says that this environment is safe for you.
I think the last part was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. I literally couldn't stop laughing. You guys looks so lovely. Unfortunately Lucy, when I was younger I did a lot of similar mistakes but it was really supportive to understand that you are not alone in it. The best phrase you have said was "believe your instincts". I'd say I'll take it into consideration next time. 🤗
Number 3 - the same thing happened to me with a friend (not while travelling). He was doing more than kissing. Violated is the word! My bank blocked my card 7 times in 7 countries in a row despite telling them each time! As soon as I stopped informing them, it was fine!
I feel you Lucy 😕 When I stayed for a couple of nights in hostel, I had such a terrible memory from one night because one guy tried to rape me when I was asleep... so yeah I know how it does feel 😕
Arrrrgh god. I am so so so sorry that this happened to you, my heart rate just increased reading this. You must have been petrified. Sending all of my love xx
For easy retrieval, the simple solution is to tie some eye catching or colourful ribbons to the handles of your luggage or buy luggage covers. Make sure you get the right dimensions.
I remember when I was in the ninth grade I had once gone on a vacation with my family. There was this guy on the train who kept staring at me the whole time. I was really uncomfortable but I didn't say anything to anyone. We arrived the destination and I thought that I'd be free and relaxed. So happily, we went to the beach and I was totally horrified seeing that guy again. I remember we stayed there for 2 days and I saw that person both the days. I wish I could go back in the past and scold myself for being such a coward. The day we'd to return, I actually hoped that I'd never see him again. However,I was wrong. He was there again. I remember that at a particular station, the train halted and he stood outside my window seat and tried clicking my picture but I turned away. After that,we arrived home and I've never seen him again.I regret not telling anyone about it and would like to ask everyone to NOT BE SCARED and speak out. It's been more than five years now but it still makes me regret and horrified at the thought of what could have happened. Also.. PLEASE TRUST YOUR GUT FEELINGS as Lucy said. Stay safe!
That happened to me when I went to a club with my boyfriend's sister.i trusted her and didn't think she would leave at the club on my own I genuinely thought that she had gone to the ladies but she disappeared with some guy she had met.that was a horrible experience but having said that at least this happened here and not aboard which would of been ten times worst!

Actually I like Schönefeld airport much more than Tegel airport. :D And I think it is better connected to the city... :)
Two days ago youtube suggested me your video on English with Lucy and now baduuums I am watching your vlog. You are really so pleasant and cute and your pronunciation and is euphonious😍😍😍. Thank you so much for content (I am not sure which channel is more useful to my English😅)
Ha Ha. I took S9 from Schönefeld to Berlin City Center just last week. You must have taken a Regional train, because the S-Bahn ends in Schönefeld. Read the signs! In Wünsdorf btw was the head quarter of the Sovjet Army in Eastern Germany. Last year in Vienna I missed my bag on the belt, caroussel. There was just another bag looking exactly like mine driving around, but it wasn‘t mine! What a nightmare, someone must have grabbed my bag. I took the wrong bag and went to the missing luggage desk. When I started to explain what happend an old lady appeared with my bag. I wondered how she could even lift my bag (usually 23kg). Here bag was very light. How could she not feel the weight difference? Adrenalin? At least she noticed her mistake before she left the Airport. I was happy. So, a red belt around the bag is a good idea! 😀
Even if you slept totally naked and uncovered that would not justify someone assaulting you. Rape culture always points at what a woman might have done wrong to invite a man's attention but it wasn't your fault and it's not okay. I'm sorry that happened to you
Hey Lucy! Like your genuine and natural style. Weird suggestion: Considering you're funny (in a good way of course) It would be fun (and funny) if you made a video about everyday-like situations. Kind of your own Lucy version of Michael McIntyre. Very easy to make such a suggestion...I know but if you did I'm sure I'd be funny. It could be like a list of ten " silly things I do". Anyway, you have a fun personality and thank you for sharing.
The kiss kind of reminds me of Thomas from Downton Abbey kissing Jimmy in his sleep who was really disgusted afterwards but out of different reasons. I feel sorry for you though, Lucy no one should be kissed in their sleep or in general by a person they don't want to be kissed by, it is already assault. Speaking of Downton Abbey I recently saw an actress from Downton, Sophie McShera, narrated a book for Audible which is often your sponsor. I don't recall what the book is called but it's a psychological thriller.
I got stranded in Germany on a Sunday because they stopped running the bus service at 6 PM and I failed to realize that. My fault for not being able to translate properly, it was printed on the schedule. I had to take a taxi to where I was going because there was no other way to get there, besides walking.
No. 7: my BF is using it for chilli powder :D - Overall - I was a flight attendant travelling around the whole globe and I was usually walking alone. Nothing bad ever happened to me, but you have to trust your instict (as Lucy said) and you should be always 1. sober :), 2. open-minded and 3. alert, at least. Knock on the wood, so far, except of some taxi drivers trying to cheat you in Bangkok and few unpleasant meetings with drunken homeless people in Seattle, nothing happened! (Please, feel free to correct my English, I'll appreciate it :))
Thank you for sharing this. :) I am so sorry for what happened to you (referring to no. 3) :( You pronounced "Schönefeld" the right way. :) Unfortunately people in Berlin & Brandenburg (that's the county Wünsdorf is located.) happen to be shy or unfriendly against strangers. I live in Potsdam (also Brandenburg) and a lot of tourists come here. For example, the bus drivers cannot speak English fluently and therefore cannot help non-native speakers. Sometimes I feel really ashamed by them being so unfriendly to tourists. :( Sorry you were treated like this when you have been stranded in Wünsdorf. :O I love the ending! :D
Thank you for sharing this, but could I consult that how would you deal with jet lag? Because sometimes I need to travel over multiple time zones (like from the UK to Japan), and this made me dizzy and feel sick.
Thanks for sharing with us your travelling experience and the kind reminders if untoward happened. We really appreciate it and grateful for everything. I do love the last part when we saw your fiancee.....💖👍😊
@, yes please! There is a story about kaputt I'd like to share. Back in the days very early this millennium when BBC refurbished Broadcasting House in W1 there were mostly German engineers doing the *pleased to omit unsuitable swearwords* work. Things were kaputt all the time. Back then a Welsh project lead at BBC happened to explain to a German engineer kaputt actually has become an English term. "Das ist kaputt!" had replaced "This needs to be fixed!". Just another random story from an engineer so far. Up to now I considered this to be an urban legend. But hearing not just a native speaker but a teacher using kaputt as if it were the most natural way to describe something broken is just mind-blowing. So Brexit is a thing? Forget it! We have already taken control over your language. 🤣 To put this clear! I am joking. About Brexit that is. Being not exactly too happy about it. But, not my beer! To say not my business in the most German way is: Nicht mein Bier!
Just guessing... it might be because of her living in Spain... kaputt is used more freely as slang in Spain for anything that does not function properly anymore... and hence could be used to reffer to a phone battery's death. Nevertheless, great to know its proper use! Thank you!

@@unnamedchannel2202, thanks for sharing this story!
One day i was traveling to India so I just realized that everyone suitcase was black and i chose the wrong one so i returned it but someone kissing you when you are asleep it is just messed up
a friend of mine has a fake engagement ring she wears when travelling alone to help ward off unwanted attention. shouldn’t have to resort to this, but there it is.
Hi Lucy, I'm Wendy from Singapore. I love the English language and I love your personality! You were looking for a way to express that terrible situation. Would it be right to say, 'That man insulted your modesty'?
I was traveling from my Miami to VA and a old lady came over and ask my mommy to help her carry her bag and I say to my mommy do not do it. Hours later came over FBI and turn out the old lady had illegal's drug on her bag and the police took her to jail.
Oh Lucy thanks for your video it was so useful for me! Actually I have one question.. In point number 9. what you are saying is " warn your bank account before you go abroad? Are you using the verb warn or may I have mistaken it for another one? Would you please be so kind to correct me? 🙏Thanks in advance! Your RU-vid channels are now my new addiction 🤷🏼♀️
