  1. Ngl I love these debrief vids you do, it’s always insightful and it’s like a nice wrap up at the end. Also as someone in their recent unemployment era too, it is rough out here lol here’s to hoping we both can get a job or some type of funding for future travels, all the best Tina! ❤

  2. TINA is one of my favorite YouTubers. She is so nice and very helpful! Thank you so much, Tina! My sister and I always look forward to your videos. Oh, your theme song is so stuck in my head, lol.

    Also, thank you, Tina, for making a video and addressing my many questions. You're the best! 😃

  3. .This feels like the "behind the scenes" of your travel and i'm having fun!!! Didn't skip anything. 💛💛✨✨

  4. Me and my sister have been watching ur videos for the past 2 years and ur so down to earth and hilarious with your honesty..I’ve been dreaming abt going to Japan but its SOOOO EXPENSIVE that I question if it’s rly worth it…I’m 25 alr idk how ur sister can afford to bring u along lol cuz I can barely get myself there 😭

  5. Vietnam would be cool, but that's easy for me to say because I don't have to deal with seeing any family over there💀

    (unless I have a secret cousin or something. I've already got Filipino cousins and an uncle in Denmark, I could have family anywhere)

  6. Blonde Tina era is my favorite era🌸 please do a Vietnam vlog even if it’s short, it would be so much fun to learn about Vietnam or see what you’re seeing.I think that would be really cool to watch 💜ps On behalf of All your Tina fans tell your sister we are so thankful that she funds your trips. Best sister ever.

  7. I hope you'll have a good time in Vietnam! So nice 🙂
    And I REALLY hope your family wont say stupid body shaming stuff! That is so rude and disgusting. Like, OK people, we know what we look like so shut up. They should just be happy you'll all meet again.

  8. I love all your videos, so chill ^-^
    And seeing a Fall-Outfits haul would be so cool!! Thats the best fashion time 😍 Everything is so cute

  9. The turbulance flying into Tokyo is TERRIFYING! I went to Japan in January and I thought that was my last day on earth LOL

  10. Love your videos no matter the content! ❤ hope you continue with more! 😊
