Samme!!

It was the best experience in my life! Glad to hear you're working around there :) What do you do?

Happy you enjoyed! Do you also only travel with a carry on? :)

Great tips! Thank you.

Happy to hear that you found my tips valuable! Do you normally fly with on carry-on as well? :)

Yes it's amazing isn't it? :) What's your favorite destination?

Hey Rebecca! That's very valuable advice :) It's happened to me so often so will definitely take on your tips. It's so sad when something you really enjoy wearing shrinks, but I'll fir sure keep on wearing them and hope that they'll loosen up a little bit :) Do you have any advice on what's the best way to wash new items for the first time to avoid this? :)

@@madeleineaabo the last time I bought ready to wear linen pants, they shrunk. Now I sew my own clothes, it’s not an issue because we pre-wash fabric. Any shrinkage happens in the first wash. However because you asked so nicely, I googled how to prevent linen from shrinking. It says linen will shrink 4% in the first wash - hence my suggestion to size up. However there was also a lot of advice suggesting hot water and hot air shrinks linen more, it’s preferred to wash in cold or luke warm wash cycles, and preferred to air dry on a hanger, or on the lowest heat setting in a clothes dryer. Linen is Devine to wear, it’s so light and breezy, weightless on the body. It also grows throughout the day, so what may start as tight, could end up loose throughout the day. To note, Viscose and cottons also shrink, being natural fibres. Same advice as linen. Polyester blends don’t shrink… but some of us don’t like the feel of polyester… mileage may vary, personal preference.

Haha yes we're not used to it! I was amazed by how fit all of you guys are, truly incredible! Do you hike a lot?

That's a really good way to do your laundry and also nice to stay out of the sink! I used mine as a cooling bag for the beach but never thought of using it for laundry, will definitely do it next time :) Yes that is never fun to spend time on during your trip... Hopefully the linen blend works out better for you. My tip is to hang it outside or in the bathroom for a little bit so the humidity can help decrease it slightly :) You'll manage!! Only bring what you really need, and when you think about it, it's most often less than we think. Where will you be heading? Glad to have you here on my small channel :)

Is Bali your favorite? I would say Thailand is mine :)

I'll take you up on your bluff. Take estrogen if you think it's so easy, coward.

Yachting is not for everyone 😊

It might do, but I always do some research before and that has helped me come across that I actually know more and have been there before. What would you say instead? :)

Yes it truly is.. But we have to find a way to stay safe so we can continue to explore the world! Do you travel solo as well? How do you go about it?

Yeah you see this group in so many videos. Definitely a quantity over quality thing. I plan on doing the Ha Giang Loop later this year but I'll just do it on my own.

Oh you think so? Which route would you recommend? Any other tour companies that is better and that you suggest going with? :)

I saw many people doing it on their own but I found going through a tour company you got to meet so many amazing people, they took care of the logistic and I had a really good experience :) Have you been to Vietnam before and kinda know you way around there? :)

@@madeleineaabo You're correct that you will meet more people by using a tour company. I feel like I am fairly familiar with the country now. Late last year I motorbiked with a friend from HCMC-Hanoi over three weeks. I loved it so much I'm going back again in November for about two months. Some friends will be joining me for parts but it looks like most of it I'll be solo. If you ever decide to do a route through the country, let me know and I can share some pins I dropped for some good swimming spots along the route. Edit: I should note that my comment above wasn't meant to imply anything inherently wrong with choosing a tour. They're just not for me. I prefer making my own schedule. As far as routes go, I'd recommend the ones from Tigit Motorbikes. I followed their guide Las time and it was great. If you haven't seen it yet, go travel the Ho Chi Minh Road. It's the best driving in the country, imo.

Absolutely! Which country is most relevant? I went to Indonesia (Bali), Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand :)

Yes unfortunately.. They get dirty so easily :( What color is your to-go-to?

Glad you enjoyed! Do you also travel solo?

Glad to hear you found it valuable! Do you also travel solo? :)

Happy you found it valuable! Are you also a solo traveler? :)

I'm still in my late twenties and I really enjoyed it! Some of the people in my group were older and some younger so it was a good mix. I think many people are intimidated to do these kind of trips and it's been known to be more for "younger people" but during my travels I realised it's not like that anymore. So many people travel at all ages and there is always something for everyone :) Do you find age being a problem or holding you back from going on trips like this?

It was truly amazing being there!! It's very nice to hear that Ha Giang province is starting to flourish and more work is created :) Will be back soon! What other adventures would you recommend around that area?

That's amazing :D For which company?

Can you get me a job driving?

Yes unfortunately weather gets in the way sometimes... You should definitely go back! Do you have plans on going back to Vietnam?

That’s a great idea! I weighted everything before I left so it would have been around 3kg of things I actually didn’t need or used that was extra in my bag 🙈🥲 my final weight on the flight home was 12kg so could have travelled with less than 10kg if I packed better 🫣

@@madeleineaabo Wow, I think that means 25% of the weight of your bag was not used!

Hi there 👋🏼 So happy you’re going on this experience, you’ll have a great time! 1) I took a cab to Hanoi old quarters and the best way it to order one or Uber or grab since you’ll know the price, normally the cabs outside will be overpriced. If you book it with a tour company they normally offer transportation to ha Giang from Hanoi for a small price. 2) the demographic is slightly younger but I think any people at any age can and should go! It will be a bit of drinking and social time plus you’ll be sharing bigger dorms with everyone, but you’ll have a good time and get to know your group very well. 3) make sure to check the weather but bring something slightly warmer and maybe a few lighter tops/bottoms so you can layer your clothes and also take off if the weather is warmer. I would bring a wind & rain proof jacked, warmer shirt, long pants, shorts, T-shirt and a top. Also bring something you’ll be comfortable to wear at night and for dinner etc. 4) I loved going with Jasmine hostel and had a great time so they are the ones I would recommend. Buffalo hostel also offers but think it’s even more of a party vibe with them. Not sure about other small local agencies but do a google research and check reviews to find the best option for you. Let me know if you have any other questions ☺️ hope you’ll have a fantastic time!!

Glad to have you here and that you enjoyed the video 😃

Tack för feedbacken ska tänka på det! Glad att du gillade videon 😊

I just used my iPhone 15 for this video ☺️

@@madeleineaabo and did you use any mic ? for the sound. thanks xx

It’s cheaper than flight tickets and you get both transportation and “accommodation” in one so I would say it’s reasonable. It’s not the cheapest but it’s the best way to travel on a budget if you still want to be comfortable 😊

Yes depending on the airline that you choose there will be different weight allowance. Even with a carry on flight ticket you will in most cases have one carry on size bag and a personal item included. I've flown with both budget and more expensive airlines during my backpacking journey and was alright in all cases :) But of course it always depends!

Yes the Philippines is beautiful!
