[@tijay8507]

How does Maroon/burgundy match with Green?? if you fold instead of rolling then it causes deep set creases.

[@emmajansson4288]

Your videos are so helpful and are a great way for me to get organised. Your hacks make sure I think of everything. I'm gonna travel by train through Europe once I graduate.

[@heyshayla]

[@heyshayla]

So many but mostly peppermint for cooling and nausea, lavender for sleeping or relaxing, tea tree for skin and lemon for water!

[@nadyaa2152]

Thank you so much. I hope you having a great time>

[@hollyregent5926]

you can buy dry shampoo in nz to btw

[@heyshayla]

Yeah I figured NZ would be a place I could buy dry shampoo and tampons... but I've totally been some places I couldn't!

[@dahveed284]

You're guy is a lucky man. Looks like you're pretty organized to me.

[@heyshayla]

Haha I'm trying!!

[@veronikabauhofer1144]

Sarah Lemkus is a nz youtuber with the quitest kids ever

[@heyshayla]

Awesome thank you!!

[@jessicahamby4715]

Awesome!!!! If you ever find yourself in Atlanta come see me! I know you've already done the Appalachian trail, but there's SO MUCH MORE!

[@heyshayla]

Awesome thank you!!!

[@SH-rg6fo]

Nice! We start our year of travel on Feb 22nd with a month in New Zealand! Maybe we will cya there

[@heyshayla]

No kidding! That sounds like an awesome year

[@Nomanners2100]

You must go to Kahurangi National Park! God I love that place.

[@heyshayla]

Just added to the list!

[@camiefisher1804]

I felt so smart because I already packing using to pro tip of rolling my clothing

[@heyshayla]

Haha good job! It’s a good one!

[@juliewilliamson964]

Kiwi here - trust me you'll need the raincoat. It'll be raining for twenty minutes and then be sunny for an hour, and then raining again. We're so erratic in weather! Also, if you run out of the dry shampoo try kmart

[@heyshayla]

Haha that’s what I heard about the rain!! I figured it would be in nz, but if we’re living in a van I’m not trying to mess with that 😂😂😂

[@go-dog-go]

Just a thought...i've used 'Space Bags' for packing Many times...they are Ahhh-Mazing to shrink stuff down. Thank God for the NASA program they were developed for : ) Btw....speaking of towels...people have been Known to borrow towels when staying in Hotels, and of course returning them before they leave the Country ; )

[@heyshayla]

I haven't! How do you get the air out of them when youre not home with the vacuum?

[@go-dog-go]

On this link...kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJvImnxomJiMgrs It shows you how to use the non-vacumn model, you can also do this with the regular model. You Zip them Almost closed, then roll them up like a 'tight burrito' then seal them. Btw, in full disclosure....if i was ever pulled over by Amber, i wouldn't really mind her putting handcuffs on me....in fact, i may even try to resist a little ; )) Haha I hope you guys are having Fun!! Stay Strong -------> And S, work the Seth daily foot massages like Scarlett in 'Gone with the Wind'!!

[@kassgal7213]

loved the video ! I asked for something like this so I'm grateful! Do you think that rolling the clothes is better for a suitcase too? Oh and I have to tell you that I didn't even know what dry shampoo was till like 2 hears ago.Greece here. Have a nice time there!

[@heyshayla]

Totally better! It just stacks in tehre so much better! hahah OMG dry shampoo = life!! haha

[@kassgal7213]

Living On A One Way haja I think I will try both thanks!

[@DPalominoFan25]

Mari Johnson is on YT and she and her bf have a camper van in NZ!

[@heyshayla]

Perfect!! I'll look them up! Thank you!!

[@carlastutts1080]

Amanda around the globe and Mari Johnson are there

[@heyshayla]

Perfect thank you!!!

[@hollyregent5926]

omgggg I'm from new zealand

[@heyshayla]

yay!!! I'm so excited to come there!

[@planarian]

Hello! I just came across your female solo traveler video and then went on to this one b/c I've also been watching a lot of minimalist packing vids- didn't take long to realize this isn't one of those lol but you are engaging and fun to watch. That NZ does indeed have tampons has been covered, but furthermore from what I saw there they only have the o.b. type- no applicator. I'm all about this b/c of the minimalist/no-waste aspect; they take up so much less space! But not everyone is into them. Also be warned that under NO circumstances should you flush any part of your tampons down the toilet. They have some neat receptacles for them in the restrooms, nicer than the hinged metal boxes we have in the US. I was really impressed by the public toilets in NZ in general, they seemed very orderly & some were high-tech! I'm talking about you, bathroom in Picton that played music to time my usage.

[@heyshayla]

Hahah I love the ob tampons as well. I tried to keep it minimal but I think I leaned a little too heavily on the space we’ll have in the van 😅

[@brkr7799]

You look like a cross between Malin Akerman and Olivia Wilde. So pretty!!!

[@heyshayla]

Haha I just looked them up (I'm the worst with actors and actresses!) Thats a huge complement! Thank you!

[@dalemcentee3872]

You should try Bus Life NZ for a youtube collaboration.

[@heyshayla]

I'll look into them! thank you!

[@TheSNOmedia]

I LOVE these. You're so real. I'm that girl: Can't organize it. Throwing stuff in the suitcase at 11 the night before and forgetting at least 3 things. I'm leaving for Mexico in 4 days... maybe I should start??? Naa... Hey, what software do you use to edit your videos?

[@heyshayla]

haha 4 DAYS?! No way, my sister use to start A WEEK in advance! I use iMovie :)

[@markshepherd3017]

2 months? Enough clothes for 2 years. Seriously ditch most of it and fill gaps in kit when you get there. Probably a bit late now. Kiwi's and Fijian's have all that stuff but you'll figure it out. Its a great place, you'll both enjoy it.

[@heyshayla]

You were totally right lol too much stuff!!

[@clairejkay]

Did you say you're going to Fiji? I was there for three weeks two summers ago and would have tips for you if you are going!

[@heyshayla]

We are!! We have a layover on the way there and then we'll do a little trip at the end of the 2 months in NZ for like 3-5 days, SEND ALL THE TRIPS!!

[@tvlove1549]

Oh yes please, can you recommend a few places to go and things to see? Planning on going to Fiji and always on a look out for recommendations!

[@heyshayla]

Yeh totally!

[@clairejkay]

Cool! I would recommend going on a boat trip to some of the small islands east of the big island. Korovou was my favorite, we went snorkeling and saw manta rays that were 20 ft wide! There was also a cool hiking trail and we went on a boat to a local village that had been partially destroyed by bad monsoon that year and it was really eye opening to see how they lived. It's a bit more expensive but Bounty Island was awesome, the staff was so nice and you can walk around the island in less than an hour. Sunsets and sunrises were unreal! They have a few turtle ponds of baby sea turtles they are raising until theyre old enough to be released. Treasure Island is a short boat ride away and they have even more turtles! (I helped build some of Treasure's turtle ponds on my volunteer trip). Treasure is too expensive to stay at though, Bounty at least had dorm style rooms. I stayed with a host family in a village on Viti Levu, in the Lutu province (town called Lutu). If you can get a chance to meet any locals you won't regret it, Fijian culture is SO FRIENDLY. Bula means 'hello' and literally everyone you pass will wave and say Bula. Vinaka is thank you and vinaka vaka levu is thank you very much. Most Fijians speak english but Bula and vinaka are words you will say so many times a day. And if any locals offer you food, you should take it! If you're in Nadi or Suva, look out for people trying to scam tourists. Kava is a ceremonial drink that Fijians drink all of the time instead of alcohol, it tastes gross but makes your entire mouth numb and really mellows you out. People will try to sell it to you, do not drink it in any shops because they will upcharge the crap out of it. If you can befriend any locals while on an island or wherever you're staying, they might be making it themselves and you should try it. If you fly into Nadi and need a place to stay, the Nadi Island Resort (it's a hostel) is SO cute and interesting. I think it's a 20 min walk to the beach? ALSO! One Fijian dollar = .50 cents, however everything is twice as 'expensive' as it would be in america so prices are pretty much the same because of that. Like, I remember buying a pretty nice lunch for $16 in Fijian, and it was pretty comparable to $8 USD

[@tvlove1549]

fairlyclaire Thank you so so much! I will definitely research all of that. It sounds like an amazing place. Did you come across any dolphins while there? 😁🙈 How much time would you recommend for a visit that includes to discover places plus a day or two for relaxation? Again, thank you so incredibly much for all the tips. :)

[@jessicahamby4715]

OMG lol. I don't wear bras either.... bralettes and bathing suit tops all the way!

[@heyshayla]

Seriously... why would you even mess with underwires hahah... Unless you're trying to be fancy.

[@davidkernaghan2918]

I have friends that went to NZ and they said a lot of things are expensive, especially beer in bars or restaurants. They would just buy beer from the store.

[@heyshayla]

We’re not huge drinkers so I’m sure we’ll have occasional beers here and there!

[@foggybottomz]

Can you show us shoes next time please? I'm looking for shoes that are comfortable to walk around during the day, maybe suitable for night time, and then sandals that are also good for any time of day. My ideal sandal will have arch support and are danceable, like if I want to bust a move in the middle of the street. Also, have you ever considered using a menstrual cup instead of having to worry about packing tampons? I started using one and I'm still learning how to be leak proof but I like it a lot!

[@heyshayla]

Yes! I’m not packing anything great, just hiking shoes, hiking sandals, cute sandals, Birkenstocks, and converse. I’ve heard great things about the mensural cup!

[@charliebrown9086]

Suggestion: Make Seth wear a mask so he doesnt get secondary infection and so he doesnt spread the flu on the plane. Have a great time! Your hair does look 👍🏻 Safe travels!

[@heyshayla]

We looked for one but couldn't find one!

[@ryanp5137]

That’s why I’m a lazy bastard!!! It’s all blue screen!! Lol

[@elkboy888]

Eek! You mentioned socks when you were showing your array of bags but you didn't refer to your sock pile when going through your clothes. Don't forget them!! =)

[@heyshayla]

Hahaha I didn't forget, but socks are TOTALLY something I could buy when I get there luckily!

[@ericweaver517]

Heyyyy, I'm actually sorta early!

[@heyshayla]

haaaay!

[@mariafinsness3969]

Did you buy those essential oils in a set or individually? Building up my oils, it'd be nice to get a starter kit!

[@heyshayla]

I get them in the starter packs! And then individually as needed... because honestly, if I get them as needed, I actually know what they're for!

[@heyshayla]

Where do you normally get them?

[@mariafinsness3969]

I just bought a few on Thrive market but mostly just at the coop when I'm having fun looking around. I live in south Minneapolis :) and the Wedge is pretty great!

[@heyshayla]

Doterra and young living have great starter kits!

[@3novembersky]

There is a guy from New Zealand that I followed his Appalachian trail hike on KZbin last year. His channel is Byron’s Big Hike. Check him out!

[@heyshayla]

PERFECT!! Thank you!

[@3novembersky]

Let me know if you make a connection. Safe travels!!!

[@CarrieAbroad]

Just logged onto my other KZbin channel to get you to 200 likes on this video cause I don’t like uneven numbers hahah

[@heyshayla]

Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Omg I’m dying!!! This is amazing

[@carolina7314]

Living On A One Way lmao and now replying on my other channel (this one is for travel and the other for random stuff) but yeah I thought you’d get a kick out of it 😂😂

[@DTRB56]

220v electricity in NZ, you 110v electric toothbrush won't like that! Won't work, might kill it. Better to buy one there. Also different shape/style electrical plugs in NZ than USA.

[@heyshayla]

I have an adapter! Do you still think it will kill it?

[@jessicahamby4715]

Dry Shampoo=Life

[@heyshayla]

AMEN.

[@go-dog-go]

Like i mentioned before.....tell Seth he needs to brush your hair at night so you will sleep well, and rub your feet before bed, so you can keep up with his Aerobics schedule....Wurk it girl ; )

[@heyshayla]

Hahahaha

[@karenrivera9394]

Check out Mari Johnson she is in NZ and has a van!

[@heyshayla]

Thank you!! I'll check her out!

[@InternetAddict901]

We have dry shampoo and tampons here

[@heyshayla]

Hahah I kinda figured for New Zealand. But can you imagine if I didn't pack it and it wasn't there!! hahha

[@InternetAddict901]

Yeah better safe than sorry. I hope you have the most amazing time here :)

[@John_Conner222]

Ok here goes. 1:46 noooooooo That is like the best tank top ever. Turns you into an instant victoria secrets model with either your shorts or bathing suit bottom 2:46 yep it does. im guessing it saves you a ton on batteries ;) 6:40 lol >.< 7:11 lol again >.< 7:31 poor seth, having to deal with killer cacti 10:47 Check out this link for youtubers kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWHafaqmlNycZtE Have Fun! and visit the hobbit houses! Also my question for you is how do you get all that past TSA? I know that dry shampoo is over the size limit. Especially for international travel.

[@heyshayla]

Hahaha I have the kimono for the swimsuits DONT MAKE ME REGRET IT!! haha We totally want to go to the hobbit house!! I check a bag :)

[@go-dog-go]

Rom...we have something in common? We strive to be banks of knowledge, hah. Love the 'time' comments above....Everyone should clic and listen, Toooo funny!! batteries ; ) And a hair iron? 5 pairs of shoes? Hah...I had to laugh, my Ex took 12 pair for our 10 day Honeymoon....on an Island? G~

[@John_Conner222]

Im just saying I love spaghetti strap tops. Ahem... since they are loose but stay in place it allows for... creative men... to have a bit of fun and no one around is the wiser ;) Im also surprised you didnt pack any bear spray. Have you seen the size of them over there. They have no fear and will easily tear open a car door to get to you and your food stash.

[@John_Conner222]

lol I was going to respond to her throwing the best top away and then I was like let me finish the video. Then she starts saying all kinds of innuendo stuff and I'm like man I have to make a list. The reason why they have to have so many shoes or just articles of clothing in general is that they plan for looking good for all possibilities while traveling and being the emotional creatures that they are, their range of possibilities that are considered "important to look good at" like going to the beach or just sitting on the porch, do not pertain to us men. Whereas guys don't care. We have our dirty getting things done outfit, our going to dinner or nice place outfit, then our casual outfit for general purpose, and we buy shoes to fit at least one or more category. I think the only time I ever splurge is when its a fancy evening event, like a corporate outing, ceremony, or some ultra chic shin dig. Then and only then do I break out the nicest silk suit or tux.

[@go-dog-go]

Here here......But, a couple of Fema-Nazi's i know would have you saying, "Thank you Sir, may i have another" about these words you stated, "being the emotional creatures that they are" ; ) RoffL Woman are an Interesting species though.....

[@wildbill4116]

Don't forget your electrical socket adapter!!!

[@heyshayla]

It's in the blue striped bag!

[@TheHerothief]

only an american would say she needs a cap to be pretty but sporty! it really made me laugh hahaha.. no shade towards caps, though

[@heyshayla]

hahaha Come ooooon what do you wear them for?!

[@TheHerothief]

we don't... hahah that's what's funny, caps are a very american thing, i guess

[@heyshayla]

oooh hahah! thats hilarious !
