Thank you! You're the first "minimalist' packer that actually packs "minimalistic". 28L pack rocks. Most on TH-cam are using 50L packs and calling themselves minimalist. You did it and you rock. I carry a 35L pack myself with room to pack something home. Most people seem to believe SE Asia has no laundry!? Good job.
Fantastic video! I have been traveling carry on since '85. Over 100 countries with one 25L bag, 7kg total weight. Listen to this young lady. (I have hidden money pockets sewn inside my pants, no money belt, other than that she nailed it) safe travels everyone
I am so glad, I accidentally found your channel!! You are amazing and absolutely adore that you are vegan, minimalist, zero waste and also love traveling :)
Tip: where your heaviest clothes or tie heavy jackets and stuff around your waist when your going through security at the airport so then it takes a lot of weight off your luggage
Way to go Eysia!- I pack exactly like you!!! And I do not wear underwear except for 1 small tan bra; My backpack weights only 5 oz- they do not make those anymore (Go Lite) - traveling this world more than 41 years and only carry 1 bag- 5 to 7 kilos only! Free as a bird to enjoy nature and meet wonderful strangers along the way. JR, Texas, 62 yrs old- 120 pounds, semi-vegetarian and I grow my own food.- lucky to travel first class most of the time but still always traveling light:)
Im heading off for a month and a half on Saturday. I was unsure of the tote/produce bag and the water bottle. I will be bringing them now. Thank you :)
i just discovered your channel and to be honest I'm in love with the positivity you bring. I loved the tips especially as I'm travelling to world youth day and will only have a 35l backpack. Love from Ireland ☺
+Alice In Wonderland Awe this is such a lovely heart felt comment! I'm so glad my tips helped you! That is so cool that you are going to world youth day!I hope your travelling goes smoothly. Thanks so much for the lovely comment once again it definitely brought a smile to my face :)
you seem really cool and I like how you are not all about bringing everything and distractions, you enjoy the trip. It would be cool to go travelling with you :D
your channel is great. I'm going to be starting my travels quite soon and I'm a minimalist+vegan as well, so I very much appreciate your content. keep on doing what you do! sending love💕
I think this is probably my favourite Backapcking to Thailand video so far. You are so so chilled and laid back! I have also stopped wearing underwear so thank you for reminding me I don' actually need to pack so many loll
god, this is the first time I'm on your channel - first channel in YEARS I love. You're so sympathetic, everything you say is true, and you're funnny. (also incredibly beautiful) gonna pack for thailand now! Greetings from germany!
Hey fellow Canadian! Im just by Toronto, just came across your channel right now, plan on backpacking Thailand in the winter. Got my self a bicycle so going to start cycling this summer and then bring my bike with me on the trip to save on taxis and take in more of Thailand! Really enjoyed this vid you seem like a really awesome person, you got a new subscriber haha
+Sour Wrx Oh hey Canadian haha Bringing your bike is such a good idea! It's so easy to bike around, everything is really close. And Winter is kind of the best time I find, because there is no smog and it's not as warm so you will have a great time! I'm glad you enjoyed my video thank you for deciding to follow my journey :)
Hey! Thais is the first video of yours and I love it! You're so inspiring and I Love the way you talk. I thank the moon that I found your channel! Thanks! ^*^
This is so helpful!!! Do you happen to remember where you got that bralette? I'm having trouble finding one that I like and that can stand everyday use and constant washing for more than a couple months, and obviously it can be hard to know that before buying it haha
Very informative and well done. How did you get away with going through security with your clay and essential oil? Was it of under the regulated quantity to go through? I had a lesser quantity of Bromer's soap confiscated..! (going into Chicago, USA). Cool and complete video. Thanks.
+Cino Nim I had no problems at all and I do think I had a bit more than recommended. Maybe going into the U.S. they have more strict guide lines. They almost took away my vegetable peeler but luckily they didn't. Thank's for the feedback:) I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Elysia -great video, thanks! Clearly it doesn't seem like you bring too much when traveling, but how do you keep your stuff safe? Do you use luggage locks or anything to lock up your bag?..
You are really a sweet person, I love the backpack, I looked it up, and wow, that is too much out of my budget. I going to Thailand in May, cannot wait. Happy Travels
Thank you :) And yes I understand about the price. I bought mine from MEC for around $150. Its funny because Amazon always changes their prices and I think it goes by how much they have of it in stock. But i'm not sure why the price fluctuates so much. Happy travels!! I hope you find the backpack that works for you :) Blessings
i definitely will get one, is there a website where i could find it? I'm going to a 5 day festival called eclipse this summer and this bag would totally simplify my trip :)
No way! That festival is awesome! And yeah I put a link in the description ;). It is a little on the pricier side but you can always find some used on kijiji!
You’re so awesome! Just heading to my 1 year voyage to the east and this video was really helpful girl! Thanks for sharing the love! Are you still traveling?
Nice video :D I'm interested in the essential oil-natural perfume thing. How can I use it as a perfume? Should I mix it with anything else before the application? I've heard that it can damage your skin at it's pure form.
+stevenakos18 Hey thanks i'm glad you enjoyed it :) There are 2 kinds of essential oils, Some of them you need to mix with a carrier oil like olive oil or coconut to dilute them because they are to concentrated. Usually when you go buy essential oils it will say on the bottle if it can be applied directly on the skin. The bottle of essential oil I showed you was a mix of Geranium, patchouli and orange with olive oil. To be safe always put a bit on your skin to test it out to make sure it doesn't irritate you. I hope that helps :)
stevenakos18 Yes you can :) Make sure there is always a carries oil, but you can mix any essential oils you think your be well together and perfecto awesome natural perfume :)
I love your tooth gap You remind me of Melanie Martinez I love Melanie Edit: omg your Canadian too, I get so happy when I find a youtuber who lived in Canada or is canadian because it’s hard to find them and I feel like I have more in common with them since I’m canadian too
I go swimming in sports bras all the time 😂 they fit me better then bikinis because their more supportive and I surf and cliff jump a lot so that's always good to have a bit of extra support hahah
Hey ^^ I really enjoyed your video, It's very interesting and helpful !! 😃 also, I read in comments section that you're from Quebec in Canada, I am to!! haha ^^
Hey, your video has super helped, thank you I appreciate it :P I've searched everything i can think of to find a vegetable spiralizer blade but only the machine types are showing, do you happen to know of a website i can find them?X
Ohh have you tried going to a asian grocery store in your area? I always find them there. Try searching julienne peeler on amazon I have seen some there.
xeroshoe great sandal i found them in a small shop in toronto the only draw back is wearing them on the beach in sand no good but overall for 50$ the best walking shoe..
No the plug is the same but the voltage is a little different so when you use a Canadian plug I found that it took really long for my devices to charge. You can check this site :) www.power-plugs-sockets.com/thailand/
How did your trip go? It was super easy to eat vegan. I ate mainly fruits and vegetables and you can find those all over because there are so many markets.
+TheSkyUnderTheSea69 I got my backpack at a store in Canada but I forgot the name sadly :( Although here is the link to it ! www.rei.com/product/828188/deuter-act-trail-28-sl-pack-womens My money belt I got it second hand but you definitely can get it at any sport fitness store :) I hope this helps! I put some items in the description if you want to know about some other stuff.

I carry a 35L pack myself with room to pack something home. Most people seem to believe SE Asia has no laundry!? Good job.
What do you pack in yours? I would love to know.
Thank you! It's very dooable especially when visiting warm countries because you don't need to many layers.
Fantastic video! I have been traveling carry on since '85. Over 100 countries with one 25L bag, 7kg total weight. Listen to this young lady. (I have hidden money pockets sewn inside my pants, no money belt, other than that she nailed it) safe travels everyone
Haha that's amazing! Thanks for sharing.
This video gave me the will power to travel outside my house.
awe I'm so glad!
+Nana Naema haha its my brother ;p
😂
As a dude, I'm confused on the bra; like do I still bring it?
lmaooooo
It's up to you :p
Jake Jacobs of course bring a bra but underwear is unnecessary maybe bring one just in case
I mean, what ever floats your boat?
😂😂😂😂
You so remind me of my daughter who I miss so much right now. You inspired me to take the risk and travel lighter than I normally do.
Loved how chill and kind of witty her video the whole time
I agree... a waterproof daypack is a MUST... between the rain and waterfalls, it's a must for Thailand :)
Yes I agree, its much needed :)
Shes so chill, shes a minimalist, shes vegan. we have too much in common to not be friends 😂
hahah!
I am so glad, I accidentally found your channel!! You are amazing and absolutely adore that you are vegan, minimalist, zero waste and also love traveling :)
when i say all, in all senses; it is because i love you and your channel because of all and all senses.
Tip: where your heaviest clothes or tie heavy jackets and stuff around your waist when your going through security at the airport so then it takes a lot of weight off your luggage
I am going to Thailand for one month. You’re Video was so helpful! You look amazing and you’re Tipps are actually helpful😍

I'm late to comment but I wanted to say thank you! 😁
I love your vibe! You seem like a very fun person to be around! Also, packing minimalistic is the way to go sure 👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks so much! Yes it's definitely easier when packing for a trip to somewhere warm but always dooable if you can get clothes that are farm and tiny.
Thanks for this!!! Constantly trying to downsize/decrease my packing list
You're welcome! and me too! haha
Im heading off for a month and a half on Saturday. I was unsure of the tote/produce bag and the water bottle. I will be bringing them now. Thank you :)

Oh i'm glad :)
I got it at a festival but I have seen that a lot in Mexico. :P
Haha love this video
Hiii Ely! I was just wondering where you got your clay deo from! Wondering if it's better to make it myself or you recommend one! Cheers X
You could definitely make it yourself!! But I did really enjoy this one from PiperWai. But now I travel with a crystal salt deodorant .
I have that SAME lush soap!
Alan Watts! Very nice!
haha Awe yeah I really enjoy Alan Watts
I go swimming in sports bras all the time 😂 they fit me better then bikinis because their more supportive and I surf and cliff jump a lot so that's always good to have a bit of extra support hahah
Gordie LaChance haha yes I do the same. It feels way more supportive :)

xeroshoe great sandal i found them in a small shop in toronto the only draw back is wearing them on the beach in sand no good but overall for 50$ the best walking shoe..
Oh yeah same here but I find any sandal or shoe while being on sand isn't that great :P
Barefoot is always the way!
in hot sand i find water shoe best next to flip flops for the beach
oh yeah I see where your coming from.

Chantal Elzinga awe thank you for the lovely comment haha ❤❤
Hi! So you don't need to bring a converter to Thailand if you're from Canada? the plugs are the same? Thank you :)
No the plug is the same but the voltage is a little different so when you use a Canadian plug I found that it took really long for my devices to charge. You can check this site :) www.power-plugs-sockets.com/thailand/
1 pair of day shorts and 2 tank tops oh I couldn't do it man!
hahaha! it's okay we all have our ways :)
Great tips, but you could've at least showed us how you pack all those things inside your travel bag. :)
Oh true il keep that in mind for next time.
Hey! I'm vegetarian and want to backpack SE Asia. How hard do you think it would be to find food? As a vegan what did you eat?
How did your trip go? It was super easy to eat vegan. I ate mainly fruits and vegetables and you can find those all over because there are so many markets.
crystals!! :o)
awe yeah!!!! Crystals haha
when you travel with that backpack, how you protect it from being stole or open in the moment you take the airplane?
You could bring a bag lock if you wanted but I didn't.
If you use that size backpack, do you check it or use it as a carry on?
Carry on 😁
Where did you get that gorgeous waterbottle? 😍
Great video! Thanks for sharing ^_^
Thank you!💗
Where did you get your backpack it's so cute! Also your money belt! (:
+TheSkyUnderTheSea69
I got my backpack at a store in Canada but I forgot the name sadly :(
Although here is the link to it !
