REAL reason WHY I LEFT everything and went back to AUSTRIA 🇦🇹 Returning home to Austria was everything I wanted for my 40th birthday.
I left everything behind, and booked a family get away at an Austrian chalet near Graz. This trip was all about reconnecting with loved ones, from simple mornings in the mountains to an unexpected encounter with friendly alpacas at a local farm to bonding time with family - it was the perfect gift for myself.
Beyond the quiet moments, I am sharing how I marked this milestone year with a surprise celebration with my family. Whether you are curious about an Austrian travel escape or just need a reminder to prioritize the people who matter most, this vlog captures bits and pieces of my life behind the scenes when I'm actually not traveling for work, but rather giving you an insight to my private life.

A new chapter of my life is starting,
so I dropped everything and flew back to Austria.
I decided to reunite with the people I love the most.
It's my sister.
Because sometimes all you need is a little family time.
And one thing
is for sure,
I couldn't hold
back tears anymore.
To Austria.
Wow, what a view.
Look
This is going to be the view of the weekend
and I'm actually here to celebrate my 40th birthday
at
this.
with my family. So we just arrived at our destination.
I booked us a beautiful chalet here
Thank you.
and I'm just going to look for the key
but I will check in with you in a second.
All right, home!
Oh my god,
it's cute!
It is so cute. Okay, I'm going to give you guys
a full room tour later once we settled in, but
But
what the heck, what a view! Look at this.
Yep, beautiful. Whoa. All right, this is the house.
It's my sister.
Wow, look at us, look at us.
We have to put on our glasses.
Are we sisters or not?
Wow, wow, wow, this is my bedroom view.
Beautiful Austria. I can see everybody downstairs.
Hello. This is basically the upstairs area where
we are sleeping. It's so cute.
It's just like so beautiful when you wake up and you look out
of the window and you just see this. Like what the heck?
So beautiful. So I basically decided to
come to Austria just to spend it with my cousins
and my sister and it's just so beautiful to
you know relive these moments of the sleepovers
that we had as cousins where we just slept on
mattresses but now we're just like doing it uh adult style
in a really beautiful destination
and uh yeah i'm going to freshen up i'm going
to have my little morning routine i have a
bathroom here that is so cute it's open
so you just see that beautiful view at all times
and then i'm going to go downstairs
because we're going to have breakfast together
Okay, I realized lately
that I haven't really posted much from my personal life.
I know that we are always doing travel in this vlog,
but I definitely wanted to implement
some, I don't know, just random life situations
so that I can connect with you a little bit
deeper, just talk what's on my mind,
what I'm thinking about, and yeah, even something
like, you know, brushing my teeth with you guys.
You guys?
Ha ha ha!
Not sure if you want to see me spitting water but okay here we are.
But yeah since we are already
here doing my morning routine with you guys I wanted
to share something that I have been using
that makes such a huge difference
and it is part of my glow up my smile. And believe it or not but
I reached an age where I get excited about stuff like water flossers.
This is the one from YouSmile
that I've been using and the reason why I'm using it
is because I eat snacks like these peanut
These peanut snips, this is my childhood snack
and it's super delicious but it sticks to my teeth so
I definitely need to get everything out that is in the back
of my mouth that you can't see or maybe
see I don't know but yeah let's get it out.
And obviously I brush my teeth every night but you
know there's just so much stuff that lands between
the teeth that I can't get out with my toothbrush
so I need a little helper to reach those spots
and also get everything clean in between.
That's so right.
And fun fact, my smile is actually what made
my boyfriend fall in love with me. So
I think it's such an important feature in your face
that you cannot neglect it. And oral hygiene
is obviously super important
when you have a partner because nobody wants to
kiss someone with a bad oral hygiene, right?
Definitely not me. So I'm making sure we're all good.
And what I like about this one is it has
five different pressure levels. So you can just
adjust it depending on what feels comfortable
for you. And the S-shaped nozzle makes it much more easier
to get into those awkward areas between
your teeth and all the way to the back.
And by the way, I love self-care so much. I had such a major
glow up just through taking care of myself,
adding things to my morning and evening routine. So
So, I don't know, I just added to the...
The glow that I have today,
so definitely recommend it if you want to give it a try.
I'll link it down below
so you can try out the YouSmile C30 for yourself.
I personally love it and I love how it makes me feel
when I'm just smiling so confidently.
And yeah, let me know in the comment section down below
if you want to see a little bit
more of my self-care and glow up routine.
I think I want to switch a little bit more into lifestyle just
because I feel like I'm entering
a different era of my life so comment down below
and let me know. But for now
let's continue with the day ahead.
A little longer than a few minutes later.
Okie dokie, it is the second day.
I honestly lost track of time and we were just catching up and just
really reconnecting,
trying to be present and not worrying too much about vlogging.
The first day was pretty much a success.
My sister put in a lot of effort with the preparations.
Best sister in the world.
The world?
Look, we're twinning.
Thank you.
The house is freaking amazing.
I think we're all having a good time.
There's a quiet room over there.
We also have a pretty big pool down here.
There's a jacuzzi in this area.
So we're just chilling over here.
Our bedroom is up there.
So it gives this beautiful view of the whole valley.
So, so gorgeous.
And right now we're just preparing a little picture session.
My sister wants me to pop a bottle.
We're just going to open this one for my 40th.
To be honest, I am so happy I made my way to Austria
to just spend it with the people that I love the most
and just spend some quality time with them.
You know, it's just like, it's just a weekend,
but I feel like it's a pretty good bonding time.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
I'll show you around a little bit later.
There are alpacas down there, so we're going to feed them.
My sister's dog is here as well.
We're going for a walk later and yeah, celebration goes on.
Okey dokey!
I don't know if you can see it,
but I have a lot of hair on my head right now.
I'm starting to speak now.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Wow, wow, wow.
I'm getting a nosebleed.
Hey, hey, hey.
Five,
four,
three,
two, one.
Check, check.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Mic check.
One, two.
Pop, pop, pop.
After having the celebratory drinks,
we decided to go down to the alpacas to say hi and also to
feed them because they're part of this property.
So the owner said we have some food so we can feed
them and that's what we're going to do.
We're going to say hi and look at them. They have a
six month old alpaca. Six weeks? Oh, six weeks.
Hello. Hi. So cute. We have some food. Hi.
Hi!
Look at these haircuts.
My cousins went
in but I am not sure.
I will keep a safe distance because apparently they are spitting.
It's happening.
Hey you buddies. We are just saying hi. That's all.
What I really like about this property
is that there is such a huge garden
and I just found some plums right here on this tree.
Look, look, look here!
I found another one
and they're all ripe.
Okay, I have a few, that's fine.
We decided to take
a little walk here because it is
so beautiful. We have a lot of cute houses around us.
There are some goats, some donkeys,
some cows, so it's really really beautiful. We have comfy sunset vibes.
Going on. We're going uphill. Hopefully it's going downhill soon but
yeah we're just doing the most Austrian thing.
Going for a walk. Got some snacks.
Good to see you.
Who wants Kiki?
Dips on the raspberry. Go. Yeah. Nice.
He said it's like Easter.
It's like Easter.
I'm going to send it off.
It's so fast, isn't it?
Yeah, this is it.
okay obviously we are all fascinated by the goats and ponies and
all of the animals that we are seeing on this stroll.
Hello!
hello hi
What comes through here?
there was one house that looked like i don't know
a house from the apocalypse
Apocalypse, apocalypse, apocalypse, apocalypse.
what anyways walking dead really really creepy
but uh this one is cute hi pony
Good morning.
I feel like this one would be perfect.
So, Nelly has to sit down.
I guess she's a photo album.
Oh, where is it?
Oh, the microphone.
Sit
down.
Sit down.
Oh, are we doing sound cleaning?
Yes.
It's a group meditation.
Yes, sir.
Sit down, girl.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Is it a video?
Yes.
Who edited this?
You will see.
And it's amazing.
Well, I hid a few weapons around the office,
just in case.
You never
know what's
coming.
My name is Michael Scott.
And he told me that we're getting a new employee.
Her name is Nelly.
And apparently, she's very talented.
Yeah, to be honest with you, I think she's going to take my job.
I love that the camera is moving so much.
Let me show you.
Okay.
Hahahaha
You can barely tell she's the oldest one in the new cohort.
Usually when people come here, I hate them.
They take my parking spot.
I've wanted this job since I was a little girl.
It's a part of generational trauma.
Her peers.
So from all of us, happy birthday.
And don't worry,
40 isn't really that old.
That was better than in the office.
That was better than the original one?
We didn't publish it.
I'm going
to pay it to you.
Take left to right.
That's a plus.
It's okay, it's okay.
No fire.
This is from everyone.
It's like a little basketball game.
All the things from home.
Oh my god.
Marshmallow. Perfumes.
Okay, I'll try that. Wow, we have a suju.
That's true.
I'll put it in my bag. Smoky. Kiki! Oh wow, something that was seen.
Yeah.
I'm still trying to type.
I can't.
Like my childhood. And then we have broken games now.
You're trying to type?
I can't.
I can't.
I'm trying to type?
We have worked on that from the beginning.
You're trying to type?
I can't.
I can't.
Who's crying there again?
I can't.
I'm trying to type.
I'm trying to type?
There is a question that I'm not going to answer as well.
So, your answer?
Oh my god, that's so good. Oh, she did it.
My answer is no.
Everything you say is the answer.
It is not?
I think it is not.
No?
No?
Yay!
Your answer is?
Nothing.
Nothing.
It has to be the color version.
Okay.
So, what is your answer?
I thought she was going to merge you into it.
Nothing.
Okay.
Then we'll start talking.
Oh, yeah.
Great.
She was just about to buy a pink one.
Yeah, I know. I told my sister about it.
Oh.
Oh.
What a fool.
Please, yeah.
Otherwise she will like, in Bali she's going to go,
like, I did it myself.
Oh, no.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's been a long, long time.
There, from the very beginning, my first best friend.
While we spent our teenage years goofing around,
partying, and probably doing things
our parents would rather not go out.
You helped me build my own role model
of what a woman can be.
Strong, bold, disciplined,
focused, and independent.
A woman who knows what she stands for,
and who refuses to compromise on the principles she has worked
so hard to establish.
Those are the qualities I admire deeply and honestly they
are qualities I hope I can pass on because
when I think about the kind
of woman I hope she becomes I realize I want her.
So on to the 40s
and think 30 more years.
Okay this is sick what
the hell this looks like
a freaking feast
I promise,
I promise.
