Thank you so much for watching! :) xoxo ~ Kristi
The worst thing about Taiwan is definitely the ridiculously humid tropical/subtropical weather. When I first stepped off the plane in Taoyuan airport it was literally like stepping into a sauna. I've never been to Florida though, so the humidity might be slightly less of a shock to you.
The best thing about Taiwan is friendly people, higher quality food for cheaper, and for females it is one of the safest countries for sure. Not that anyone should ever let their guard down anywhere, but their violent crime rate is extremely low - I think similar to Japan.
This is all great information! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Florida is definitely very humid as well. I am so excited to try all of the different foods! I am so happy to hear all of these amazing things about Taiwan and cannot wait to experience them! :)
@@KristiMartin 👌👌 western food comes at a premium (comparable to US prices) but any kind of Asian food is a great value there. Rent is quite high in Taipei though, so hopefully they handled your housing in a satisfactory way
That makes sense! Yay! Yes, they are helping us find apartments so hopefully :)
Too bad you arrived at Taoyuan airport at a bad time.
@@user-dh7qb3zw5l I've been to Taiwan a few times so I know sometimes the weather is perfect and not even humid. But overall the humidity is extreme for me since I'm used to dry heat of California
You can buy almost everything in Taiwan. Bring your personal medicine and daily care.
This is so good to know! Thank you for your help!
You did it!!! In the words of Dr Seuss...
"So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains."
Continuing to pray for you and your fabulous adventure!!!
Hi Jen! You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your prayers! I am so excited! :)
Can't wait to see your videos from Taiwan. It's gonna be great!
Thank you! I am so excited! I can't believe it is finally here! :)
Yea Mrs. Martin for your packing ideas. I am like you Kristi, I usually pack a week in advance the things that I know I will not need and pack the rest the day before I leave. My best friend does it the night before and it makes me nervous because that I know she will forget something but it is usually me that does 🤪
Yes! My mom really was the mastermind behind getting it all to fit haha. That would make me nervous too! I really don't like to forget stuff!
Best wishes on your trip. May the memories last forever.😍
Hi Christy! Thank you so much! :)
Smart, that's how I measure my suitcases! Also good to bring unlocked phone, u can get cheap SIM Card in Taiwan
Hey I just found your channel and I love your vlogs! :)
Thank you so much! That is very sweet of you :)
Probably needed to decrease the shoes by a couple pairs, and use compression cubes for the clothes tbh. But interesting video.
Packing cubes helps with getting more clothes in your suitcase
People please avoid freaking out about packing up your clothes just use my packing trick: USB Space Saver Vacuum with Ziplock Space Saver Bags. Let the USB space saver vacuum suck out all the air in the ziplock space savers bags until the bags are literally flat very thin and hard. Just leave it sucking air out until it looks like a wrinkle thin flat rock. LOL I can pack way more clothing and bedding for my family of 9 children and 2 adults. My children ages are 18 years old, 15 years old, 10 years old, & 8 years old ( all are twins and triplets, unfortunately I had 10 kids but 1 baby went to heaven after birth). ❤
I’m packing two weeks in advance to move to Japan. Not to mention, I’m not paying for storage so I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. It’s better to pack in advance.
You are so brave. How is your family? Are they sad ??. I wish you all the best. Blessings.
Hi Adriana! You are so kind! My family is doing well. It was really sad and hard to say goodbye, but they are excited for my adventure! Thank you :)
In my case, I had to move with my whole family from Venezuela to Mexico ... It was the most stressful thing I have done in my life, I had to put 23 years of my life in 2 suitcases ... I left behind so many things and Memories, I can't even tell how much we cry.
Thanks for this video!! I'm an incoming Fulbright ETA and about to graduate so I have to move out and also pack to prepare. Did you do two checked bags, a personal item and a carry on? I saw the blue bag and was wondering what that was for. Also, if you have a list of what you packed/bought do you mind sharing it?
In TAIWAN convenient stores will be your best friends.
You'd better learn Chinese hard than find the new world. bless you . I am just A Native Taiwanese (old man). cause my sister also live in FL. USA. Actually come to TAIWAN very easy to live.
Good luck in Taiwan!
Thank you so much! :)
Hi may I know what luggage size are you using? 24' or 28' ya?
Where is your suitcase set from?
What suitcases did you use?
Maybe later on,you can make a video about “what you don’t need to bring to Taiwan “😅
Honestly 😂 I really should haha
Wow....
噢，你好像帶了太多了行李了，這些衣服在台灣都可以買得到😊
I think what you are doing is really brave. I'm just a couple of years older than you, but I can't even begin to imagine leaving my home and family for ten months. I would be overwhelmed with homesickness and extreme anxiety. How are you able to cope with being away from family and everything familiar for such a long time?
Hey Kayla! That is very kind of you! Honestly, it was really hard having to say goodbye. Something that has really helped though is technology and being about to video call with my family while I am in quarantine. It will definitely take some time to adjust in Taiwan, but I am excited to see what God has in store!
Try 5 years🥲
I'm coming from Lucas to see how much luggage 🤣
Where do you live in Taiwan city?
I will be in Taipei!
You bring too much clothes to Taiwan. It’s hot here, even during winter it’s not that cold!😅 Anyway,welcome to Taiwan🇹🇼☺️
Taiwan is definitely a lot colder than Florida in the winter because of the humidity, definitely bring some jackets just to be safe
Yes, I really probably brought too many clothes! I just wasn't sure how much to bring because I have never been to Taiwan before haha. Thank you so much! That is very kind of you :)
That is definitely good to know :) Thank you! Being from Florida, I am not very used to the cold haha
來台灣怎麼會帶兩台筆電?太強了。說不定這10個月在台灣就愛上台灣，然後就一直住在這裡~
可以跟您語言交換嗎
The winter in Taiwan is freezing cold
Good to know! Thank you :)
