Anastasia Makus, a 21-year-old student in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, originally planned to spend her summer holiday in the Balkans with her boyfriend. The trip was one of the first things they had discussed in their relationship when they first met about a year ago. “It was happening,” Makus tells PEOPLE about the vacation. “We had the tickets booked already in early April. We were planning the routes, where to stay, the car, everything."

00:00You know what's happening, we were having the tickets booked already in early April.
00:25We were planning the routes, we were like planning where to stay, the car, like everything,
00:29the breakup came and then everything was just like out of mind and I was like, wow, okay.
01:00I think I showed it to him because he was obviously curious because he was like,
01:04why would you, you know, film the beds, like what's your idea, like what do you want to create
01:09with those parts and I was like, you know, I will show you later, I will show you later.
01:13At I think dinner, I showed him and then he was like, okay, but like not having a big reaction,
01:19but it's like, okay, that's funny, but you know.
01:21For a few days, I was not really like looking into the video, like if it got popular or not,
01:33like do I get likes, I was, I didn't, I did not care and then I think one of my friends was
01:39actually texting me and saying like, yeah, your video went a bit viral, I was like, really?
01:44The comments were like also very heartwarming, especially I was like each comment that was like
01:50being written out under my post, I was calling my dad, I was like sending a screenshot and then
01:55he's like saying, look, people, you know, like your moves, you seem to be funny.
02:10You have that strength to just like do things and you don't need really other people to do so
02:15and it's, of course, nicer to share it with someone, but it not necessarily means to just
02:20like have a bunch of friends, it can be just like your mom or your dad,
02:23parents can be your best friends as well.
