I can totally relate to growing up seeing eating out as a thing you do for special occasions. It's weird because most of my friends love eating out and do it regularly and I always feel a bit weird doing it for no reason. Like, there's food at home why am I eating out again? And at that point I also realise I sound just like my mum lol As for the eating, if all you had today was what you filmed then you defs haven't eaten enough so just have the oats!

[@HollyGabrielle]

ahhhh so glad you can relate to this! and exactly 👏🏻 ... i feel as if i need a good reason or special occasion to do it, and i love making my own food anyway! haha lol about the mum comment though, because i think my mum would love to eat out all the time! 😂 and yes i did have oats btw 😉

[@milly4543]

@@HollyGabrielle I love making my own food too though I am getting better at spontaneously eating out, provided my budget can take it lol Sounds like my dad, always keen to eat out. Helps he's not picky haha Good! ^_^

Hey Holly. You have been such a huge inspiration to me. You helped me realize my potential of working hard in studies. I am going to be living alone soon and your travel videos give me confidence that I can live alone and travel and meet new people. Thank you so much for always sharing your journey :)

[@HollyGabrielle]

i've loved sharing every minute of this journey and i hope it all goes well for you. solo travelling is life. changing. honestly, you'll learn so so much!

[@genius2655]

It’s actually lucky it’s raining. There was supposed to be a protest in Byron, my Dad was supposed to work there (riot squad), but they cancelled it. Your day could have been hectic

[@HollyGabrielle]

oh i didn't know that!

[@evi818]

I love your videos and I just wanted to tell you that your old study with me videos have been so useful to me and they inspire me to work hard just like you❤️❤️❤️

[@natashabirimac609]

Okay Australian vegan maccas tip: hash browns are vegan too! What I get is a standard burger (without the meat patty) and then add a hash brown to that burger. Hash browns are cooked where the chips are so that meal is entirely vegan :) There are lots of great vegan places in Sydney so you should be fine. One word of caution is that if you go to Taronga (the zoo) I'd recommend packing your own food as there are very few vegan options and the food is quite expensive. Definitely check out Lentil As Anything in Newtown if you get the chance - I have a funny feeling you'll really like the food and ethos of the place.

[@jadelauren2269]

The lunch looked so good 😍 loved seeing your exercise routine too!

[@hollovivien]

Challenge idea: have a day without any digital stuff, go and explore without phone :)) i like your videos!! Keep doing girl

[@lydyma6225]

Hi, Holly❤💫 I tried to ask you this question a few times before but you didn't see it. You are one of my biggest inspirations, I love watching your vlogs so thank you for posting!!🥰 I watched your video about your ed and I wanted to ask you if you had any problems with your period during it? I'm currently in recovery from anorexia and I'm trying to get it back so can you please share your experience if you have any? Thank you. Love you lots, Holly❤

[@agie24]

I think she will make a video talking about periods while travelling. Maybe she'll talk about the relation between her ed and her period?

[@pamrizzo6663]

LYDY Ma from personal experience your period will come back once your back to a healthy weight. It can be really hard mentally when it comes back, so make sure you have lots of support around you ❤️

[@yokochanify]

Watching you eat all day while at the gym - why not 😂 The food looked so good though 😍

[@louiselouiselouise31]

it's a shame they didn't have an Olivers at the service station, they have some great veggie/vegan options. One tip for Maccas, if you go to the servers, ask for a hamburger, minus the beef patty, ask for extra salad (tomato, lettuce, onion), they usually don't charge, and order a hash brown (they do all day breakfast) to go in the burger, that way you can get yourself a vegan burger that's a little more filling.

[@ItsVidaK]

question - why is honey not vegan? I know it's made by bees, but beekeepers take really good care of them, they are essential to our ecosystem, and making honey doesn't hurt them. it doesn't seem to be a harmful part fo the food industry

[@HollyGabrielle]

personally will never eat honey for a few reasons: (1) to me, being vegan simply means abstaining from using and consuming any animal products, and since honey comes from bees, i will avoid eating it (2) a lot of honey is sourced in an unethical manner from commercial traders that just try to maximise yields, for example they clip their wings and replace the honey with sugar that is not as good for them. they even kill whole colonies sometimes. bees need honey for energy and nutrients. it is essential for their survival, therefore why should we take it away from them as humans when we don't need it? (3) leading on from that, we can use alternative sweeteners such as agave nectar, maple syrup, stevia or fruit itself.

[@biahhysilva]

I am always inspired by your videos to test different things and at the same time have fun with your vlogs.

A quick hack---> Put a harsh brown to replace the meat in a burger at maccas to make it vegan!

[@hannahgodfrey6832]

Make sure you go to Soul Burger whilst you're in Sydney! It's a fully vegan burger / fast food restaurant -- sooooo good, defo recommend! X

[@madeleinespencer1739]

Loads of vegan places to eat in Newtown (Sydney), also I’d recommend Soul Burger over Lord of the Fries. Also could check out Vina Vegan for Vietnamese or Golden Lotus. Plus Lentil as Anything is great. And gelato blue has great flavours for vegan ice cream 😊😊😊 and there’s heaps of other places too!

[@yeganehsetayeshnia7262]

“ the large is BIG “ 😂😂😂

[@hitchinaride94]

I think it's soo important to eat honey. Since we do live in a kind of capitalistically oriented world, largely, supporting the honey industry, or even better bee keepers (local ones), will most likely be the only really good way to keep bees from dying out!!! And we desperately need bees!!!

[@jenniferobrien5675]

No. That's not how it works lol

[@HollyGabrielle]

i personally will never eat honey for a few reasons and i am going to have to disagree with what you've said: (1) to me, being vegan simply means abstaining from using and consuming any animal products, and since honey comes from bees, i will avoid eating it (2) a lot of honey is sourced in an unethical manner from commercial traders that just try to maximise yields, for example they clip their wings and replace the honey with sugar that is not as good for them. they even kill whole colonies sometimes. bees need honey for energy and nutrients. it is essential for their survival, therefore why should we take it away from them as humans when we don't need it? (3) leading on from that, we can use alternative sweeteners such as agave nectar, maple syrup, stevia or fruit itself.

[@hitchinaride94]

Holly Gabrielle Let‘s make it more specific and say locally sourced honey. A friend of mine is a bee keeper, he doesn‘t clip their wings, but he drives them to different places to get food, because in one place the bees would not survive since everyone mows their lawn every week killing all the flowers that bees need. There are hardly any natural fields left that have flowers left all summer. I think he keeps those bees alive and well amidst all the bees dying around the world and takes a little off of their food (obciously not too much) so that he can use the money to invest back into the bees to get them to nutricious fields. If you‘re a regular person, you have to get money in order to keep doing what you‘re doing, which ultimately saves bees from starving because you take less off their food than you have provided them with. Without him, they would die, with him they have good food but have to share a little with him. It‘s not perfect but I don’t see many people driving bees around to get food without profit and until they do, buying local honey is keeping bees alive. Nonetheless, it’s not important to agree on every topic and it’s not really that important anyway. 😊

[@sarahjames1612]

Coming from South Africa, I’m shook by how expensive it is to eat out in Australia.

[@Nickster7]

Sarah James lol, everything is expensive for us South Africans. The British pound is really beneficial to them.... I traveled Europe a while ago and ate only two meals a day. Hahahahaha. Food was triple the price of what we pay here in SA.

Why do you not support mcdonalds? A lot of McDonalds, especially in the UK have veggie and vegan options and the only way for them to keep being able to produce more veggie/vegan options and less meat is for people to buy it. If their vegan products arent being paid for then they not going to provide them and produce more meat.
