Why You NEED To Travel Alone 

Monica isn't just a vlogger who just shows how gorgeous her life is. She also shares the ups and downs of her life for being a millennial and that just makes her vlogs more realistic, original and well-made. 🙌💖

Love this, I went to Bali by myself a week ago. Best life choice I have ever made, you really feel like you can accomplish any challenges in life (Corny but true). If you wait for other people you will always be waiting to do what you really want!

Such an important message, not just for younger persons, but for people of all ages. Bravo Ms. Church. Your independence and happiness really shine through in this video.

actually did a solo trip to Seattle and Vancouver a couple weeks ago and i'm from the Netherlands 🙋🏻 honestly everybody should travel by theirselves at least once, being totally alone can actually be really great and empowering 💪🏼

that room is sick as fuck

always admired how you narrarate through out your b footage. I dont see many vloggers going about it in the way you do. You're so underrated Monica, thanks for being a kick ass human

Monica!! I needed this - I'm headed off to college very far from home soon & I'll have to fly by myself when I go home and stuff and I've never done that before so I needed the encouragement :) love you!!

I LOVE travelling alone! It's just perfect, you don't waste time on what someone else wants to do, you only do whatever you want and make the most of the time you have in a place.

Most inspirational vlogger...hands down.

I love your message in this! I started college 2 years ago and have noticed that I spend less time with friends than I did in high school and more time with myself and I love the feeling of taking on challenges by myself

my university offers a study abroad program and i'm going to be going to the uk in september and will be travelling europe alone! woooooo

Traveling alone is one of my favorite things to do. I recently went to Mt. Rushmore and Badlands National Park solo, and it was amazing. I highly recommend doing things by yourself, it truly is a different experience.

I'm 17 and today is the first time I'm staying completely alone for 2 days(at home). Turns out I'm fine, even cooking dinner using youtube))

As an only child, your talk really spoke to me. I am used to doing things by myself, but sometimes I do second guess myself and just want to take the easy way out and chill in my room all day and do nothing. Every time I do push myself out of my comfort zone I am proud of myself which is a really awesome feeling :) Loved this video and your message!

I needed this! I'm So scared all the time to be alone I always have to have people whit me always! and after that speek u did, I got motivision! thx!

i love when you ramble on about life

This is the exact conversation I've been having with myself! Thank you for talking about subjects that really interact with your viewers and make us feel involved. Whatever you're doing keep doing it, Monica! You're an inspiration

Watching this on the way back home. I just traveled completely alone across the country. Such a coincidence or maybe fate haha.

Your song choices in this vlog are so good!

I agree. I went to Europe by myself and I loved it ❤️

I completely agree with this, traveling alone is such a different experience. I'm 17 and just recently traveled to Ireland alone and it was such an amazing time!!!

The Pan Pacific is the most beautiful hotel in Van honestly! !

Ahh this was one of my favorite vlogs. I totally agree with you. Traveling alone and experiencing things alone really does give you a new perspective on them. I love traveling alone because it gives me time to think on my own and really take the time to take everything in around me. Thanks Monica! Loved this

i love how she turns totally random things into a lesson. i love monica so much. she's my idol.

I am so keen to travel alone

Traveling alone is so satisfying and such a different experience! I love it

So glad you keep it real with us. It's always nice to get that push to do what you want to do! So thank you.

It's vlogs like this that make you my favorite vlogger. I'm actually working on starting a channel I've been wanting to start for a long time. You inspire me a lot. Thank you for all you do!

you're an inspiration, and I'm so glad you decided to share it to everyone on the internet. go you!!

I agree with this so much! It's like my mantra. You will never grow and change and evolve as a person if you do not put yourself outside of your comfort zone and do things you've never done before. And solo travel is awesome! I was terrified at first but my favourite part now is that it's a bit like starting fresh every time you leave. No one you meet knows you, they don't know you're past, what you've done or who you are - so you can just be the person you want to be, I'm always trying to be my best version of myself and it's so great to practice this when you travel alone ☺️ Much love from the UK Monica! ❤️❤️ Keep killing it xxx

this is so inspirational. im thinking of going on a trip alone because no one wants to come with me or theyre busy and i got scared because i havent been there before but now im gonna go and im so excited. thank you monica 🖤

Monica, this is so powerful!! I flew to other countries for studying when I was 14. It almost made me tearing up after hearing this. Thanks for sharing and encouraging people to go on this path. It's truly wonderful

Thanks Monica, It is always a good reminder to do things on your own. You never know what you will experience.

I've lived in Vancouver for 4 years and I always see videos from youtubers who were in the same places I always go and I've never met anyone. Fingers crossed I get to run into you sometime and tell you how motivating you are to me and how much I relate to your day to day thoughts. ❤️

I definitely agree about traveling alone, and being comfortable being by yourself. I just moved from Stockholm to Barcelona all by myself one month ago, and it has been the best decision of my life! I have learned so much and just started appreciating everything a lot more.

In solitude, there is growth. Thanks for sharing your experience MC!

I couldn't agree more -- I traveled to the philippines alone for three weeks and it was the best experience of my life. I also love doing things alone from time to time just so you're on your own schedule!

im freaking in love with your vlogs and the way you capture things with your camera

I love your Vancouver vlogs because I recognize most of the places in your shots and it brings back such good memories of my hometown

I was in a funk where I had a hard time being positive and i watched this video and it made me so happy for you. Which made me happy. Which made me happy for me. Thank you.

So motivational! I needed to hear this! Thanks ❤️

first of all i love it when you just sit down and talk to the camera because its always inspirational and i just love it. Secondly I'm so pumped for your new gymnastics channel!!

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL !!! I get so happy when I get your notifications ❤️

Thank you Monica for making this video! I travel by myself all the time and some people think it's odd! I love travelling by myself because I get to do exactly what I want to do and when I want to do it!!

You made my city look absolutely stunning! I love the way you see angles and shots

I needed this little pep talk! Thank you Monica💕

Traveling alone soon... exploring new cities and new countries, this video gave me more confidence to do so. Subscribed. Someone needed to say it. Glad it was a self-empowered woman who did. Thank you, Monica!

Love all of your videos. Your style of vlogging is unique. This video, especially, was amazing; it is probably one of my favorites! Thank you Monica for your videos because I look forward to watching your videos every single week. :)

I was on live TV in Germany for 1 hour and it was amazing! When you have an opportunity like this you should totally do that! Great that you did it Monica! 😊

Wow , great vlog as always , Monica! You are such an inspiration to many of us out there girl , so keep on doing your thang! Love ya!🤗💖

I really like the music you incorporate into your videos. Especially this one! So relaxing, and feels like I'm traveling with you!

Monica is so motivating and inspirational! I feel like nowadays it's not that easy to find these people on the internet. Glad Monica is doing what she wants to do in life!

Your vlogs always inspire me to do something amazing. So thanks for that, Monica. I never forget why I'm subscribed to you because every single video reminds me.

I can't even begin to explain how much I relate to this right now. I've always been close to home -- I even commute to college. However this summer I was given the opportunity to go across the country to be an intern. I was terrified of not knowing anyone and traveling across the country for the first time ever, and alone. But I knew it was something I had to do -- and I did it. And now I'm having the absolute time of my life in Seattle this summer and I'm so happy that I went on this journey alone; it has been extremely fulfilling. All of my fears about this experience haven't been a problem. I've been able to meet and make friends with so many new people and learn so much. If anyone reading this is worried about going out and doing something on their own, don't! The feeling of accomplishing something you fear, alone, will give you the most fulfilling feeling and confidence you'll ever experience

I enjoyed this video !! That little pep talk is what I needed.

This is very inspiring Monica. Go out and get your dreams!

Your vlogs are such a motivation! I just feel better every time I watch any ☺️

Your vlogs are so unbelievably inspiring!!!

Monica you're great! Really liked this vid. More life talk videos please ? I can dig it. Also cool edit with the hotel door and music. Very satisfying haha

I've been struggling with going places on my own, and this summer I decided I need to start! So thank you for this video, it has helped me with getting out there and doing things I want to do even if I'm alone doing it!

your vids are so raw, i like it.

omg Monica thank you for the talk, I'm currently waiting in my car for my job interview schedule, and your words encourage me to not being afraid even tho I'm by my self, thank you thank you thank you

Love your weekly vlogs! They're like watching a short film, so amazing

I'm taking a two week trip across the country alone in a month, this video has got me excited! Love your vlogs

Monica i love your videos so much, you are such an inspiring person and i hope that you achieve all your goals and dreams, love you!!!!

Loveee the message of this video. We're in the same stage of life. I just became a nurse and am moving away from home and everything I know. I realized that it's time for me to really be independent and live my life the way I want to! I'm so happy you're realizing that same thing :)

I love your vlogs, they make me feel so motivated and empowered!

love this 💜 i never get sick of your vlogs, you're so creative and i love your little sit down talks :)

Yes Monica!! Empowerment!! I loved this ❤️

I'm so excited for the new channel!

I am speechless, seriously this vlog was so brilliant, inspiring, encouraging, I love how you are always up to something, not afraid, pursuing your dreams and have a clear vision of what you what to do. And the best things come out of it, always. Just incredible.

I swear I love you. I love your realness. I love how you are you and don't act like something you're. So hard to find now a days especially in this RU-vid world. ❤

Ahhh I've been contemplating booking a solo Europe trip from my home in Australia for years and this video has literally pushed me to the edge and I'm officially going to a travel agent tomorrow 😬

DANGGG i loved this. I NEEDED this. thank you monica for inspiring us all xxx

So true about the traveling thing! Loved the rant!

Love your vlogs. Just discovered your channel yesterday. Keep em coming😊

You're a huge inspiration to me Monica! We're the same age but I'm living in the UK, and I'm about to travel alone to Croatia next weekend. I've done a few things alone but have had all those fears recently...not any more!! 🙌🏼 Thank you xx

You also have a clean lucid way of explaining your thoughts. Tbh I think you have many characteristics that are so envied by lots of people. You have a powerful ability to move others to better themselves as well. Love your mindset and character, Monica. Keep bringing the light (:

that is such a good point! I am traveling alone and it is just the best!

This video was so inspiring to watch! Thank you for this, Monica 💛

I watched this video when your first uploaded it a year ago, I was going through a horribly anxious time in my life and this video has changed so much. I was at the point where I couldn’t even buy groceries because I couldn’t bring myself to go to the store alone. You completely rationalised my fear and I’ve made soo many small steps. The other day I booked a solo trip to Europe from Australia. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but this video honestly changed my life. Thank you Monica x

Love your videos! Thanks for making them and all the time and effort your spend on them :)

I really needed this! Im going to college soon & im going to have to take the train by myself when i come home and fly by myself if i really need to! Thank you for this video! It encouraged me to do what you're doing & made me want to travel to a beautiful place alone❤️❤️ love you!

This hits home! Thanks for always motivating me with your words and editing style. LOVE YOU :)

SO needed to hear this!

Love travelling by myself! I moved to Vancouver BC in 2015 and knew no one at all. I love just exploring and being able to experience it and process it without having to communicate. In saying that I also love to travel with friends and family - showing them my favourite spots and discovering new places together that will always remind you of them and that time

Love how the light didn't even stop you! You were on a roll. Solo travel is super empowering. Can't wait to see the gymnastics channel :)

I completely agree! You need to learn how to be alone 🙌🏻🙌🏻 it’s the most empowering thing.

Dang, really awesome edits and story-telling. Good job Monica!

You're so inspiring Monica, you actually inspired me to go for it and finally buy a camera that shot video. Like you, I've had a vision in my head for years for a project I want to do. And this year I finally decided to go for it and get the ball rolling. And I love it. I love filming and editing, I've wanted to do it forever and never worked up the courage to start. Thank you Monica.

Couldn’t agree more. Flew solo halfway across the country to Seattle back in November ‘17. Trip turned out to be my all time favorite

Love it. Packing for London, Edinburgh, and Dublin this Thursday - alone! Couldn't agree more :)

I love this! So inspiring and I can relate sooo much to this! Being dependent on yourself is a really important thing. 👏🏽

Hear, hear! I had the opportunity to travel for work and it was super last minute. Definitely felt like a leap of faith but as you said, empowering. You can do your own thing and be accountable for your decisions.

This was exactly what I needed. I hope to travel the world one day, and I've been so afraid of going alone. This has made me feel so much better about doing so, waiting for others will just limit me. 💙 Glad I subscribed 😍

i love your vlogs monica. the creativity , the inspiration , the passion. its all there. and thats something i admire about you. this vlog in particularly is very cozy and inspiring

I needed to watch your video. Tomorrow morning I'm boarding a bust bound for New York city. I'm by myself and I WAS afraid. I was afraid of being alone. Of being lost. Of coming out of my shell. I found your video and it has given me the courage to not be afraid. Tomorrow I'll arrive in New York with a hunger for adventure like no one else. Thank you for helping me see that alone isn't lonely.

This is what I needed to hear. I got the opportunity to go to Bali for an internship for a month but I will be traveling alone. I’m so scared but some of your words really put me at ease. Thank you Monica ☺️

it's ridiculous how I just travelled alone to a different city all by myself and I found this video. that's amazing!

I really really really appreciate this, I am going through a really hard time and I just needed this.
