Rome: Creepy men and roses!

[cycober]

can someone please tell me the name of the tune at 0:50 ?

[bobsle6ta]

why TF was i subscribed to that ?

[Jalanko13]

WHERE THE FUCK ARE HER LIPS?!?!?!?!!?

[JakobLazarus]

I think I stayed in that same hostel!



[TheTraveller1415]

Fantastic video Linz. And good thinking :-)

[TheAmbitiousFish]

good that you didn't sit down, Linz. H prolly woulda bought you a drink.....

.... And then used the Roman version of Roofies on you. >.>

[Mak3xBelieve]

same thing happened to me with a rose!

[HeiOlenMika]

And again 7:24 that church is in Assassin's Creed The Brotherhood... And I'm gonna be so jealous to you because you saw that place too... ^~^

[HeiOlenMika]

OMG!!! 2:15 the colosseum or what ever that place is... BUT IT IS IN ASSASSINS CREED THE BROTHERHOOD!!! And your are great too Linz! :D

[xaprilwindsx]

i had an apartment right near the trevi fountain

[claudiacloclo2]

u went to Rome and u only went to 1 church LOL

[vanye2]

I would have done the same thing!!

[Markofthetrainedpimp]

Lol I just watched the video where Phil confessed his love for you and you were just talking about sitting down with some strange foreigner because you were sure he wasn't going to kill you XD

[sarah9902]

the same thing happened to me at the spanish steps... i had no money, so my friend had to pay up for it :P so annoying..!

[igotchatube]

Your such a D.A. You should never leave your home!

[MsDrewAblank]

Amen! to the anti-sidewalk standers...etc.

punch them in the face! you are totally right to not sit down with the guy.

[MsDrewAblank]

Amen! to the anti-sidewalk standers...etc.

punch them in the face!

[MsDrewAblank]

Amen! to the anti-sidewalk standers...etc.

[AirNomad123]

wow i told my 11th grade english teacher i would never use or need the word flippant...until now! you are a terrible person=]

[LilySkye]

The same thing happened to me with the rose when I went to Rome :P

[satchboogyfan]

Cmon girl where's your sun glasses

Trust your instincts

If I person is creeping out getaway

Worste case you just saved your life by keep moving, best case you taught a guy not to be so creepy

[TheJustfngr8]

Always follow your instincts!! If it creeps you out there is a reason & you should never put manners before personal safety :)

[coal1987]

@TheJustfngr8 very well said 

[MacTheQueen]

I noticed when I went to rome all the Americans do the tours. We were like "Pft fuck that it's cheaper to look yourself" xD

[cerysiscomfortablex]

@Nirah it's fine :) if you watch Phil's vlogs, she's in them a lot. Plus if you follow her on twitter, she's talking about them moving so :)

[Alimira1000]

....i cant believe you would feel sorry for him. He was creepy.....and probably a stalker

[cycober]

i can't believe you actually felt sorry for not sitting to to "talk" for 40minuts with that stranger . have u watched the movie taken?

[josh1212121]

you did the right thing by avoiding him. just cause he seems nice doesnt mean wont hurt you. personally i would have kicked him in the nuts if i were you

[rachelcorinnetv]

You are really making me want to go to London by myself! I've wanted to go for so long, but I don't know of anyone else who has time/money to go.

[CriscoToe]

ha right when you said a guy gave you a rose i knew what was going to happen :) i was visiting my friend in spain when a gypsie did the same thing to me and ended up getting mugged. glad you got out ok!!

[OneLikeNoOne91]

which music did u choose for that video?!?!?! i mean at 0:45 oh my god!!! that's so embarassing! u should have chose "roma,nun fa la stupida sta sera"! i'm from Italy,so i know what i say! ='(

[Ghaleon69]

Apparently you need to watch the movie "Taken" :P

[Nirah]

Are Linz and Phil still together?

[cerysiscomfortablex]

@Nirah yes :)

[Nirah]

@cerysiscomfortablex Thanks :) Lindsey actually mentioned in a video not too long ago that they are still together and she doesn't know why everyone thought they weren't. I was just curious cuz they'd spent a long time apart and hadn't mentioned one another in a while

[Nirah]

@trentWHY And that's exactly what the creepy guys tell you

[leoofbodom]

there are some really creepys european guys. greece and countries of that type are the worst. they see a white girl, they follow her. weirdos

[Gitanu07]

italians are like that 

[lsp94]

type in gift before youtube in the url!

[redlightning0001]

3:13 there's a dinosaur in the back ground - that's why Italy is awesome XD

[decemberangel92]

creepy guys can really take away from a cool vacation.

[Renzouku]

Wow, I don't have the guts to travel alone in a foreign place. Besides having no sense of direction, I am rather oblivious, so I need someone with me to keep me from getting lost. There are also a lot of pick-pockets in Italy. I remember the people in Rome trying to sell us flowers, but man... that guy who followed you sounds really creepy. You did the right thing. Good choice about following the main roads as well. Not good for a girl to travel alone along alleyways.

[GrimaIim]

A couple of my friends from Europe told me that there's a rumor that American girls go to Europe to lose their virginity. Soooo, if some guy's like "I have 40 minutes..." he probably wants to take you somewhere and bang you.

[rimboruler]

there's more rape in italy than anywhere else in the world... they don't respect women get outa there! 

[sophiehottie]

i love your videos!! ps phil's lucky to have you.

[shadowdude91101]

It's crazy how you always end up looking stellar in your videos :)

...lucky Phil

[theGWOK]

almost every tourist-y place has tons of scam artist that give u stuff for "free", then run up and go wait u didnt pay. lol some ppl jst randomly start painting pictures of u then ask u to pay for it.

oh and if someone says "i'm not a killer" over and over, and then follows you for 30 minutes, you should be scared. normal ppl dont walk up to strangers and say "i'm not a killer" over and over

[BrokenFairytale1]

i've been there too but do not take a free flower cause most of the time they will follow you and trying to let you pay for the flower but its still a very beautifull place to go!

[StaciDaily]

There are alot of creepy people in Italy. Lots of scam artists!

[Dhslyn486]

You did the right thing! Seriously, creepy dude!

Invoke the name of Phillip de Franco to protect you next time!

[nuuhkusakura]

I think you did the right thing, you should never trust a stranger, especially in a unknow city. If you'd follow him, you'd never know where he's taking you!

[keyowns]

Trust no one linz! Especially when you're by yourself in a foreign place!

[noirxwingz]

lmao to the guy that said im not a killer

i would have been like...yea ok why do you keep saying that?

or I would have rudely ran away ><;;

[kirsi7]

Italian men are like that, they do it to get in to your pants. They can be really obnoctious and in your face about it. It's really rude. They do it especially towards blond chicks, because you stand out there.

And those flower guys are just thieves. They are all over europe, I think they are romanians (gupsy's). They also are very scary, because sometimes they behave aggressive and won't let you go on your way... It's all oraganised crime.

[uns888]

everyone wants to punch them in the face. they're so annoying....

[JuggaloOzi]

What a creep.

I can only suggest you wear shoes you can run fast in lol

"I'm not gonna kill you" isn't going to make somebody more comfortable lol

[mrowlkat21]

I love that when you're talking about someone following you there is totally a creeper in the background.

[goonawaywithyourself]

you defo did the right thing not talking to that guy, don't feel bad!

[MsStationWagon]

I think you handled that creepy guy the way you should have. He could have wanted to kill you, he could have wanted to date you, he could have wanted to do a lot of different things, but I doubt he just wanted to sit and talk with you when he barely speaks your language.

[mrnonasian]

A man doesn't need to be a killer to be a rapist.

[GuitarandSoccer140]

I woulda slipped him a roofie

[chazchick696]

Trust your gut! If the guy seemed like a creep trust that feeling.

[Ephorce]

OH MY GOD 2:40

Teleporting car!

[LEVLB]

omg did u stay at the MJ hostel? i stayed there this summer when i went! AND these vids are bringing back all the good memories XD

[gundams33dd3stiny]

If he said he was an Archaeologist..ask him what the stages of an Archaeological dig were..(Studying to be one myself =))

[LEVLB]

aww linz, i went to rome over the summer, i found rome super easy :p but i dunno why, my nose was in the map the whole time

[Rosepetals91]

You should really travel and film it more! I loved watching you in London and Rome!! You're hilarious hah. :)

[citylove3583]

hey where are you in rome? i'm studying here right now! :)

[ThatFranchiseBoy]

Stay away from the people dressed up as gladiators looking to take your picture. It's free until they come chasing you for money. Just keep walkin, Lindz. If you wanna buy something, suggest 50% of what the street vendors are asking for it. Point in a random direction and say the guy over there is selling it cheaper. They make a point of ripping off Americans. And for God's sake do not eat ANYWHERE near the Vatican. You'll be hungry and exhausted but do not even sit down. They will charge you.

[FatMarshall]

@iamrichbitch69 lol im thumbs upping this!

[FatMarshall]

You almost got hustled by some faggot ass flower salesman. They do that in Europe A LOT!

[Alewyshus]

I hope you see this Lindsey (if that's how you spell your name) but you shouldn't feel guilt for knocking some strange dude back. Especially if he stoops to trying to make you feel bad about not wanting to go with some random bloke.

Cheers!

[kfreak09]

i liked just for her wanting to punch the people standing in the way XD

and its definately never a bad idea to play it safe! dont feel bad for turning that guy down!

[literalboy]

Lol!!!!!!

[evelyn1139]

Definitely did the right thing, you can't trust random people in foreign places.

[shortyv78]

be careful in rome

u can't trust anyone

[regis6400a]

Nice video Linz! I'm an american studying in Florence right now, and you definitely did the right thing, with both guys. Basically any time you acknowledge a stranger on the streets in Italy it's kind of a cultural green light. Better to just let them go on their way, don't feel bad about it, it's what the Italians do! I'm excited to see more of your experiences. Hope you get a chance to visit Firenze!

Tanti augiri, in boca al lupo!

[necroturky]

No you did the right thing with that guy. Britt Lapthorne went sight seeing in Croatia and tuned up dead!

[animeluvergurl9]

Hey, when you do your hostel video you should include things about security, I'd like to know about items being stolen etc because I've never stayed in a hostel. please and thanks :D

[iAmlinZxD]

Oh my god its so pretty there, i wonta go there now!!

[greengirllover]

Dude. If someone follows you for a 1/2 mile, you should be nervous. Really.

[AirNomad123]

@greengirllover just play dead or hide in a box

[sarahroflol]

i would have said 'i'm not a killer either,' and then proceeded to wink and lick my lips in a suggestive manner

or just run away screaming

[Iceindra]

Liz I think you did the right thing turning that guy down. Maybe if he joked once like I don;t have a gun, but to keep saying it. Even then though, this guy was getting you uncomfortable and it must be scary traveling alone and having to face stuff like that. Looking at rome reminds me too much of Assassin's Creed xDD

[SirParachute]

creepy rose guy got me at the Trevi fountain....

[aliceisazaz]

Are you travelling alone? I'd find it scary, especailly if strange Italian men were following me round. & him saying he wasn't going to kill you just made it sound more like he was.. :D Looks like fun.

[GearBoxD]

LOL,

...then he showed me some places on the map: "This is where i buried the last girl", "This is where i am going to keep you tied up for 3 weeks"

[martinlp72]

Poor little LinzLoves!. This happens to you because you are beautiful!! :)

[GENERALzod777]

She's a Templar.

[FlameFullmetalFan548]

Playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood has taught me everything I need to know about Italia <3

[vclamp]

It is good to see you growing a little more adventurous & confident with every trip.

You just had to tour the coliseum eh? Well we just can't keep you away from stadiums! ;)

So you came out from recording in the Church, and then were immediately blinded by the Son? ;)

[EMYDreadnaught]

Asking for time is a way to see someone's phone or other thing which has the time.

[Blackstar12345678]

love your vids!

[michaelmyers75]

You were right not to go anywhere with the guy who was chatting to you, even if he wasn't a killer he could have been planning on taking your camera, wallet, keys etc. I wouldn't trust anyone that just started chatting to me and offering to take me places! it only takes that 1 wrong person to f**k up your holiday.

[Magz405]

she so cheated on phil

[heathydan]

creepy guy is creepy

[blackmamba333]

my city <3

[pringals]

Haven't you seen the movie "Taken" ... careful Linz, careful!

He may not be a killer, but he may do worse. Don't be naive at all !!!!

[carlysecor]

So I went to Rome last summer and I've found that Italian men are kind of obsessed with girls with blonde hair. I swear! My best friend has dark brown hair (she's gorgeous) and they weren't interested in being creepy towards her at all. Just me. With my super blonde hair.

[ishep131]

Sacrestia means Sacristy and that is a room for keeping vestments (such as the alb and chasuble) and other church furnishings, sacred vessels, and parish records.

[emmabetzig777]

wow, if this could really be your career you're living the dream!!! I'll keep thumbing up so hopefully you can keep doing this

[breslife]

Did you throw a coin into the fountain of love?

[DownWithTheHerman]

wat

[TheWagwun]

I would've shouted 'rape!' at the top of my lungs, maybe kicked him in the balls.

That's normal in Italy right?

[cogitational]

He sounded really creepy. All I could think of was "don't do it! He'll put a ruffi in your drink!" - so good call on avoiding him :P

[PaigeIsTehBombDOTcom]

I live in Belgium && I'm leaving for Rome tonight haha ((:

what a coincidence :P

[am0817]

I'M SURE PHIL WILL FIND HIM AND KILL HIM!!!! LOL :D

[peoplecallmeagoth]

I think you did the right thing with the guy..

When he said, "Sorry I'm too ugly for you," it must've been implying something..

You know, because like.. People don't tend to care about looks if you're just gonna sit and chat..

[HellsAngels0012]

watch out about da hostles

if uve seen hostle 1 & 2 ull know why

[flowerlalala]

Wow, so because you were uncomfortable he automatically assumed it was because you found him unattractive. That's pretty fucked up and you shouldn't have felt bad.

[HellsAngels0012]

@flowerlalala do u know how different country work? that could be natural

[sweetxnightmarexo]

I would have done the same thing with the creepy guy.

[ReaperofourMIA]

Poor Linz, but you made the right choice

[Wired4Reality]

When we went to the Vatican, we found out that if you spend only 3 seconds in front of every piece of art in the entirety of the Vatican, you'll end up spending 57 continual years looking at art.

[Wired4Reality]

The Oblivits are all over New York - very frustrating.

[Wired4Reality]

I remember it took me and my wife forever to find that dumb Trevi Fountain. We were like "is this random looking fountain thing it?" Answer? It wasn't.

[BlackSkyCinema]

You should have gone to the st. Peter's Basilica. It's amazing even if you're not that into churches and stuff like that :)

[bammcgn41]

I would of told him I do have a knife and I am a killer... since we are being honest... now get the F away from me. I don't, honest :p

Nice guys would not insult or guilt you (oh I am too ugly for you), so you did good to lose him, IMO. Besides, you are not looking for a new man, I presume, eh?

Still, I never understood small people who travel alone. I can handle myself, but you should travel with a friend IMO. Too many creeps looking for a mark. A gf can help you out... Just sayin

[ashikasasuke]

i would feel so uncomfortable if someone came up to me and kept repeating "i'm not a killer i don't have a gun or a knife" I would do exactly what you did, make and excuse and walk away

[borrapapel]

it said sacristy.... ahaha.

[chazfourlife]

what time is the reberto incident 3:25 4:56 TEll ME

[MANOFBOBRUISK]

lol im a 3rd generation italian and i go to visit cuz i still have family living in italy. there are creeps EVERYWHERE! and not just in italy but all over europe, but mainly in italy. wat ur experiancing is the italian version of a pickup like. happened to my mom while she was holding my dads hand, yep. desperate is way different over there.

[Mitchumize]

I hate when ppl shove things into your hand even tho you say no and then ask you to pay for it! Like WTF I said no! It happens in NYC all the time. Super annoying.

[Jeanslevis21]

and if you havnt already, get gelatto (idk spelling) while your there its amazing theres usually a gelatto place on almost every corner :) oh! and theres a pretty good pizza place by the trevi fountain btw!

[lamylyn0123]

I just realized that I don't really like you... sorry.

[Jenivera]

Meekakittywent to rome!

[deneyael]

Instincts! Accurate! Keep trusting them!

[LAwoman37]

Better to be safe than sorry! Good choice in not sitting down with him, linz!

[dramadoll]

Trust your instincts! If you think the guy is creepy, WALK AWAY QUICKLY! Be safe!

[SylionBinkx]

My friend and I went to New York City last year and this guy came up to us and put hats on our heads and then tried to sell them to us. All I could think of was, Get that lice infested thing off my head before I freak out! lol

[dustinsteeves]

how kick ass would it be to see Ezio running across one of those rooftops

[BustinBeaver]

You look like Mariah Carey.

[iloveloveshoes]

rome looks so beautiful! i am so jealous you got to see all those amazing sites! i must go to rome by the end of next year

[gentleindiff]

He was probably a fine guy, but I would NOT have just talked with him. Hell no.

[TheOtherAmandas]

A guy did that to me and my mom when I went to Barcelona, then he turned to my dad and said "35 dollars please"

[fandude15]

i would have chased roberto down and been like u no wat i was creeped out but i didnt turn u down cause ur ugly i turned u down cause i have a boy friend and then turned and walked away i hate when people just assume shit at first i thought creeper then i thought player trying to pick up a chick and now i thing douche lord so F him

[FredWil89]

@fandude15 your existence is fail

[fandude15]

@FredWil89 excuse me?

[thecottonpad]

i would have called phil lol

[obankobi]

A friend of mine went to Italy, guys did the same kind of stuff to her, even in groups. It's crazy apparently, though you did the right things in those situations. Kudos!

[ZeiShou]

You have to watch out for the guys that sell random things. Aside from the creep factor, they try and con you out of money. And, once they realize you have money, they don't leave you alone.

About Roberto... you did the right thing. Completely. No need to feel bad at all!

[ihmlihml]

its awesome to see all these monuments when I'm learning about them right now xD

[RuhBuhJuh1]

Linz, the trevy fountain IS down an alley....haha :)

[SaraShana]

I'm Italian. I know our men, and they'll say anything to have sex. Roberto probably wanted to get laid. Killer? Possible. But he wanted sex.

[ily3101]

Rose thing is very common. In Europe they'll ask to "show you" something like a bracelet, then they'll actually tie it to your wrist, so you have to pay for it. And especially if your alone do not talk to strangers, A few words in a public place is all that should be exchanged.

[Eating2Bananas]

i just finished assassins creed brotherhood and i really want to climb those buildings.

[oniprower]

@Eating2Bananas hell yeah!! i was thinking the same thing.

[CJRamze]

Linz, Piece of advice from the bottom of my heart.

Never travel alone, atleast take one Gal pal or two.

Different cultures treat women differently, never accept a strangers advice when they tell you to go somewhere and never follow anyone out of a public place.

[whatimdoingtoday]

I sang in that Bascillica!! My high school choir did a 10 day tour of Rome and I got to sing in some of the most amazing churches on the planet: St. Marks in Venice, the Baptistry in Pisa, Santa Croce in Florence...just to name a few. We started in Venice and ended our trip in Rome. :)

[ejp93]

I havent watched the video yet but the comments about some guy assuring her he's not a murderer is f'ing creepy!!

[DrunkenGuyOncrack]

Lol, trying to assure u he's not a murderer. xD

[nuckable]

The guy giving you a rose was a common type of "scam" (at least in europe), it's basically always the same thing and it can happen everywhere, for example in a train.

Someone comes along, puts gives you something "for free" and after a while they come back, tell some bullshit story and want money for it. So just don't accept it =)

You did the right thing about that guy, just mention your boyfriend and walk along, this /is/ italy after all, guys handle women very differently there.

Nice vid.

[DoodycockProductions]

@LinzLoves I've always wanted to travel the way you are, how much did the two trips cost for you?

[shannonjones09]

The rose thing happened to me and my friends in Paris.

[RacquelNM]

I would have done the same thing you did with the two guys. Better safe than sorry.

[AnnaJuliaHotter]

sacrestia comes from the latin sacer which means holy. so nothing creepy :) oh and you definitely did the right thing about the guy. italian men can be a little... forward. better safe than sorry!

[nukemz]

great video! really enjoyed it.

[daddytech]

it would be more fun to see you and phil in these places together. I am really enjoying your views of everything, very nice footage just think the commentary with both of you would be more enjoyable because we'd be seeing the man and womans point of view of everything. course with phil there'd probably be a lot more shots of scantily clad women in all these places too lol

[AngryUrsaring]

If you don't like random people talking to you come to Vienna :P

No one says anything to anyone in public (Thats a slight exaggeration btw)

[AnnaJuliaHotter]

@AngryUrsaring wien is halt fad ;)

[AngryUrsaring]

@AnnaJuliaHotter Es ist eh nicht so schlimm, Wien ist halt mal anders :P

[IrresistiblyBetter]

I kept getting hassled to buy a few roses for my sisters on holiday in Spain. Literally the exact same thing. Annoyed me lol.

[blades1975]

These videos are great!! :)

[omglikewoahitssydney]

During this whole video I kept thinking about the Lizzie McGuire movie where they go to Rome and visit all of those places. :]

[xAnukisx]

Look at all the smart cars :D <3

[thefreehater]

WHERE IS SUPERPHIL, LINZ IS IN DANGER, DANGER DANGER.

CALL TOBY, BRING TONY AND MATT TO BEAT HIM

[ZombieYoshi93]

I went Rome a couple of years ago, it's all just tacky and shit except for the Roman bits. Sorrento was so much better.

[Shapaless21]

A good cereal killer is supposed to make you feel safe and comfortable ;)

So are legitimately nice people.. but you don't know him.

[xxxHollyKellyxxx]

its so weird ive been were you stood! .. i love rome so much ,amazing city!

[CravingSleepZZZ]

Come on Linz, Italian scammers, the old rose scam just speaking out of experience
