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.
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.
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.
This video gave me the will power to travel outside my house.
awe I'm so glad!
+Nana Naema haha its my brother ;p
😂
Shes so chill, shes a minimalist, shes vegan. we have too much in common to not be friends 😂
hahah!
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.
I just stumbled upon your channel and ADORE you! vegan, minimalist, into travelling, what a combo! :D :D
HAHA awe thank you!!!
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:)
Loved how chill and kind of witty her video the whole time
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 :)
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 :)
omg girl i am SOOOOO beyond pleased I found you!!!!
update: i want to marry you - you are so cool!
haha !!! I'm so happy you like me content!!!!
Your water bottle is so pretty! :) you're awesome. Thanks!
Thank you!!
"You're all peachy fine!" haha so cute, nice video :)
hahah 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 :)
I'm going to backpack Europe next week and I really want to pack minimal so this was great! Thanks girl :)
Oh awesome! I'm so glad! Have a lovely trip!
I am going to Thailand for one month. You’re Video was so helpful! You look amazing and you’re Tipps are actually helpful😍
Awee thank you! I'm glad I could help I hope you have an epic trip!!!
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.
Love this video and your personality!!
aweeee thank you lovely 💗
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💕
Awe thank you love
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
Yes it's really nice traveling light, like you said enjoying the trip. :)
"You do what you gotta do" 😂😃 i love her!! Thanks for this video! ☺
Hahaha Thank you :p
I love your jumper in this 😍😍 great video xx
when i say all, in all senses; it is because i love you and your channel because of all and all senses.
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! ^*^
HAHA awe thank you!!! I'm glad you are enjoying my content !
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
haha yes underwear isn't necessary :P
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
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
great tips....I can use this and change my essentials list to fit my travel style...
way to go!!! :)
+SarSrik Ohh awesome! I'm glad you got some useful info!
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!
Oh wow what a lovely comment
Hahah yeah I really like you! super cool and I enjoy the same things!
What a sweetheart.....adorable....and with some seriously good advice....Thanks!
I'm late to comment but I wanted to say thank you! 😁
The produce bag idea is great, thanks! I'll be in Thailand in a few months :)
Oh thats awesome have an awesome trip!
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
Thanks for the video it was very helpful
Shenikqwa Mcduffie you're welcome
Ahhh... I'm on my 3rd jar of Piper Wai. I love it. So neat to see that you use it. Just found your channel. You're great. Subbed.
Oh it's amazing such a life changer!
and thank youu :)
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 :)
I'm going to thailand next year!! I can't wait to visit this country:)!
yes!!! Its awesome! I'm sure you will love it :)

Try a microfiber towel. They're light weight, pack down really small and dry quickly.

I've literally just came across your channel. honestly love you already. also where did you get your tie dye t-shirt from I love it xo
I made it 😁
Great video! Thanks for sharing ^_^
Thank you!💗
I love her had me cracking up
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
I bought it at American Eagle and they still sell them I keep going back to buy more :)
Oh my dear.
I could spend hours listening to you. I like your being :)
Blessings for you
Ps. The fox book...where can i find it? 😍

+theUnknown08

wildvibes haha nice! thank you im glad!! ;-)
Elysia Raimondo ✌️🍄🌱
I love the way you express yourself ..in such a free way.. like to be in touch with earth ...
Thank you! 😁
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?..
Hey Mariel :)
I have used luggage locks but I have not always needed them. It really depends where i'm traveling to.
I hope that helps :)
I admire your courage. I hope I can do the same soon..
Oh thank you. I am sure you can :)
Do you remember where you got your daypack/backpack? It's adorable.
Yessss!! Been eyeing the daypack as well 💕
Oh I got it second hand !!
Alan Watts! Very nice!
haha Awe yeah I really enjoy Alan Watts
WOW thats an amazing backpacking bag!
+Just Cam Is Fine
Girl it's so versatile! If ever you are looking into a bag this brand really has good ones :)
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!
have you ever gone to eclipse? :D
+Just Cam Is Fine no but I want too, I heard its awesome :)
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
Keira Hagan haha thank you :) and yes I know what you mean😁
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.
yeah an other Canadian youtuber 🙂
Emma Winnie awe yeah Canadians unite🤘
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 .
That ocarina is so cool, where did you get and how much was it if you recall?
oh my cousin lent it to me so I'm not sure :/ but I'm sure if you look online you can find it ! sorry I couldn't be of more help
Where abouts did you get your jumper (the one your wearing) its really nice and looks super warm?
Oh I got it at a festival but when I went to Mexico they were selling them everywhere :P
Thank You :))
Anyone watching this during quarantine 2020? 😳
Haha, Who knows when we will be able to travel again...
i love you!!
Awe love you too :)
crystals!! :o)
awe yeah!!!! Crystals haha
Saw your vid and liked it! It is so professionally done that I was amazed at the number of subscribers you have. You deserve more! Subscribed :) Keep it up!
+Wonderwillyful
wow Thank you!
That is so nice to hear!
what's the name of your book again? I think I wanna buy your recommendation. I just came across your video. somehow I feel like you are the one who keep positive mind 😊 if you have time, go to Bali. maybe will fit for you :)
Oh yes Bali is my next destination! hah thanks for the recommendation :)
The book I read is called "The meaning of happiness"-by:Alan Watts.
I actually liked his other book called "The Book" more. But recently I really enjoyed the book by Eckhart Tolle called "Oneness with all life".
I highly suggest that one! It's an easier read than "The meaning of happiness".
I hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing your kind thoughts!! Much appreciated haha
Just the video I needed! Where is that sweater from? The one you are wearing!
Oh i'm glad :)
I got it at a festival but I have seen that a lot in Mexico. :P
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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
Thank you so much :D Last question : can I create my own perfume by mixing essential oils?
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'm gonna smell like heaven haha Thank you :D
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.
ohhh nice! I've found them wooo thankyou
Poppy Wheeler oh awesome! im glad
