The LESSON I learned the Hard Way...

Unfortunately, I didn't experience this on my first visit, but that's a good reason to go back and it was surprisingly more fun this time. >> This is our boat for the day, and I do have to say it's not bad at all. >> I came together with friends to celebrate life after some hardships I have experienced this year. But let's start on a positive note. We're going on a little boat here. We're going on a yacht. We're going to have some fun, play some games, just uh enjoy Mexico, drink margaritas, and have tacos. All righty. Let me show you our crib. This is Villa Machella. We're a pretty big house with 25 people. Not all staying in this house. We have a second house rented a little bit further up the hill which I will show you as well. But this is pretty sick. All righty. We have all assembled to go to the ferry port. And this ferry port entrance reminds me of the ferry port in Elino. We're just looking for it. And it's basically just this kind of like market entrance. Bit unexpected, but uh I guess some things are just different in different countries. >> Quite a walk. >> Oh, okay. This looks more like a marina. Oh, I remember walking here. I was here three years ago, two and a half years ago, and I remember just walking here by the marina and somebody just started walking with me, trying to hit on me, but uh I was not interested at that time. >> Let's go. >> Yes. Look at those girls. They know what they're doing. Yes. >> All right. This is our boat for the day. And I do have to say it's not bad at all. >> All right, B. It is great. Welcome to our yacht. It's >> How long is it? >> 100 ft. >> 100 ft. We're here on a beautiful day. It's sunny outside. We have a nice breeze coming in. I'm going to take you upstairs. Let's go. We're on the upper deck now. >> Beautiful sunbed that you can lay on and relax. >> Oh, wow. >> Look at these views. Look at the map. That's sick. >> Wow. Wow. Wow. >> It is looking fabulous. Then what what do we have downstairs? >> Follow me. We're going to go back. So, now we're heading into the main cabin. >> Hi, guys. >> We have an amazing chef. >> Oo, it smells so good. >> Kitchen. And this is where the cabin is. >> All right, let's have a day. >> Let's have a day. Moving into moving into what is going on. We actually were celebrating. Um it's a really really great experience. Right now I am looking at a bay that is full of like beautiful villas and it's oh it's gorgeous. It's really gorgeous. Unfortunately I didn't experience this on my first visit to Los Capos but you know here I am. And something that I wanted to talk about is to travel deeper and like just really travel with purpose and like enjoy the moment. If an opportunity comes your way, grab it, do it. Even if you do it alone, I know that a lot of women are afraid to travel by themselves. I personally had so many great experiences traveling by myself. It is something that I can highly highly recommend. It will transform you. It healed me, made me more adventurous. And I had this conversation earlier on with my boyfriend on stage and just like say life is pretty good. And it is pretty good because we are really enjoying the moments and living to the fullest. And it is something that gets lost in the 9 to5 hustle where you have this one vacation year and you know you have so much pressure to make it amazing. But I really want you to step out of that box and just enjoy yourself a little bit. That being said, I will reveal the view. Oh my god, look at that. How did I get a properly here? Got to work harder. Also, super cute hat. Too old for the Caprio. I am definitely too old for him. So here, a lot of people just jumped in the water. We're just chilling. sausage in that whole bite. I came inside the house to have a little one-on-one with you guys. Something that I haven't mentioned is that I'm actually here on a birthday and this is actually my eighth country that I'm visiting within 2 months. I travel to Canada, the US, France, England, Austria, and so on. And one thing that I always need no matter where I am is a reliable insurance because I'm all over the place. I'm doing a lot of activities and I want to make sure that I'm safe while doing so because anything can happen when you're traveling and I had to learn it the hard way when I was in Thailand. Okay, story time because I think I have to elaborate. I was on a free diving trip to Thailand and got an eye infection and it got so bad that I almost went blind. The worst case scenario happened. I was on a remote island very very far away from hospitals and everything and thankfully I had some friends who were there who were taking care of me because I couldn't even eat by myself. I couldn't walk around by myself. I looked like a monster. Like my eyes were so so swollen. But what saved me from the real stress was actually my insurance safety wink because once I got admitted to the hospital, everything was taken care of. Everything was fully refunded. And honestly, having the headache of like not knowing if you are going blind or not and like how you're going to pay for the hospital bills and whatnot. It's quite stressful and gave me a lot of anxiety, but luckily everything was very smooth and I didn't have to worry about it at all. So, I'm under Nomad Insurance Complete Plan, which is a simple all-in-one plan that protects you and keeps your travels worry-f free. It works in over 175 countries, including your home country, so you don't need to separate coverage when you visit home. There are no network restrictions, no deductibles, and it's far more affordable than other international plans I've looked at. Plus, you can even buy it while you're already abroad in case you forget to do so. And something that I have to mention these days is that they have a customer service that is 24/7 led by humans and not by AI. So that is a big plus for me because sometimes you know I lose my patients with AI. So I really appreciate that they have human connections to solve your problems. And safety wing also includes benefits beyond travel and medical coverage like wellness therapies, physiootherapy and even nutrition consultations that are supporting both your physical and your mental health. So yeah, I've been a paying customer for several years and I can highly highly recommend it.

That was it with a quick Nelly's travel hack. And now back to the vlog. We're back at the villa. We are cooking up lunch and we're having my boyfriend's famous Moroccan. >> How do we feel about it? >> I am so excited. >> I wish the camera >> How do you feel about it? >> Oh, it's my favorite. I wish the camera could capture the smell, but it doesn't. It smells like >> It smells like flavor. >> Flavor, zing, like spice, garlic. So much going on. >> So much goodness, but no pepper. >> Chopping it up. >> I'm just a s chef. Yeah, just taking >> very important job. Very important role. >> Okay. Lunch was a huge success. We had some really, really great Moroccan chicken. Everybody loved it and h really great experience to cook together for almost 30 people. We're 25 people, I think. And as you can see, I'm all ready for the games. We're going to play some games. We have a full afternoon of just getting to know each other, playing games, and just having fun. So, to take you along. >> Okay. So there's two people from the same team and you start here, egg toss it, and then the next one you go take a step back, egg toss it again, and it just goes really far. So you end up throwing an egg like that. >> No, >> sometimes it'll break in your hand. Sometimes it'll like It's all about the momentum. >> Like I should have worn a bikini. So, we're strategizing about how we're going to not supposed to break the egg. >> Gentle hands. Gentle hands. Very important. Hey, we found a spot. We're going to do it down by the beach. Ready? Mark, get set. All right. Now take two big steps back. All right, take a step back. Okay, step back. Okay, I'm out. Didn't catch the egg, but team blue is still in. All right. READY. >> OKAY, this part goes to team green, but we did really well. I have to say I managed to stay up until the end. So, not too bad at all. A lot of fun though. 1 2 3 girls. I like Okay, next one is the rope. We have to pull on the rope. It's girls versus girls. Boys versus boys. Definitely have some strong girls here. So, I think this could be a win for us. >> Warm up. Let's go. >> We are We are warmed up. >> Let's go. And who are we winning this? >> No shot. We're losing. No shot. >> There's some bullying happening here. I had such a good time in Los Caros and I'm ending the year with this celebration of life. At the same time, I'm reflecting on the past year, and it hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows. As you know, life happens. At the beginning of this year, I had some severe health issues that made it almost impossible for me to function properly. Once I recovered from that, I had to deal with some private issues that I would say threw me off for quite some time. And of course, a lot of things didn't go according to plan and I didn't achieve all of the things that I wanted to achieve this year. And since we're approaching the new year and the New Year's resolution kicking in, I just wanted to let you know that it is okay that you didn't achieve everything that you wanted to achieve this year. What matters the most is that you kept going. For some reason, I went back to some old videos and read the comments and I couldn't help it but feel this immense gratitude of how far I've come. Sometimes it seems like we didn't achieve a lot, but then you look back and you're just like, "Holy guacamole, I did that." I'm currently at that stage where I I reflect a lot about the past year and I definitely had my fair share of hardships and battles that I fought privately and quietly. But everything happened exactly the way it had to happen. I had people that believed in me that I've never met and hopefully I do the same to you to a certain extent by showing you that after rain there will always be sunshine. On that note, thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you so much for the support for, you know, watching my videos, sharing it with your family and friends, leaving some encouraging comments. It does not go unnoticed. I try to respond to all of your comments. I wish you all a merry Christmas and I'll see you guys in the new year.
