    Love this.. just canceled my carry on luggage, going to get a good backpack😊
    Going next week for a month, I love your video, as I am really struggling to pack such a small case for an entire month. We are much older than you both 😂, but ready to backpack around Costa Rica.
    Thanks again, you've no idea how much you've helped! We are also from Canada, hope you had a blast 😊😎 ❤

      Oh so exciting. I'm glad we could help through the video. I hope you have a great time! We went during the dry season so it never rained but if it was the rainy season I would definitely bring a rain jacket and rain pants.

    I really enjoyed your video. People say they are going be minimalist and then they bring so much extra stuff for “just in case”. I was very impressed by the amount of stuff you didn’t take. Hope you have a wonderful trip!

    First of all, grammy worthy song. Second, this has inspired us to pack minimally for the next trip. Third, does Carl get a chance to use the silky pillow case?

    Great vid! Greetings from Germany. I didn’t catch the name of the company for the earplugs? I love that you have really less stuf, when I meet people with 40 l plus backpacks and call it minimal I have to laugh, I use a 25 l Packsackes, that’s enough.

    • @ElysiaRaimondo
      @ElysiaRaimondo  2 роки тому +3

      Yes I know what you mean haha. 25L backpack thats awesome! The earplugs are called DB blockers, but I'm pretty sure it's a local company. You should look in your area for custom ear plugs. It's definitely worth it 😁

    Nice dresses .. cant see anything as good in UK. I could go with 30l and a daypack but not in winter/summer as asthmatic and need warmer clothes and a lot of meds for longterm travel. I also have to bring any items dont want to throw out or give away as nowhere to leave anything !

    • @ElysiaRaimondo
      @ElysiaRaimondo  5 місяців тому

      Yes definetly if I was going somewhere that was colder I would need a larger backpack or I would have even less items. Stripping down to necessities or under layers for warmth. In the end everyone's required needs are different but I keep in mind when packing for travel 1 of large each item like top,pants,shoes,hat etc and more of course of underwear. I usually pack assuming I'm keeping everything.

    Great video with advice I am definitely taking! Heading to Costa Rica in a few weeks and have been looking for a wrap skirt like yours as I just love it. Do you know where I can purchase one please? Thank you, and happy travels!

      My wrap skirt was a gift to me but I did see similar ones from the brand called "Lotus and Luna". Here is the link: www.lotusandluna.com/en-ca/collections/shop-all-clothing?filter.p.product_type=Sarong
      Also some swimsuit stores have beach wrap skirts too. Hopefully you find something. Blessings❤️

    Touching on the footwear, in the past ypu mentioned going barefoot (earthing) as a good health practice. Do you still incorporate going barefoot while on your travels? Even though your sandals are quite minimal, they are not quite the real deal (in nu opinion :) )

    • @ElysiaRaimondo
      @ElysiaRaimondo  2 роки тому +4

      Hey Anton! Thanks for leaving a comment. Yes, I still believe that walking barefoot is great for your health and I still walk barefoot often. I walk barefoot mainly when im in nature or at home. When i'm out on busy roads and city streets I like to wear these sandals because I don't want to step on glass or garbage. I had a pair of xero sandals in the past and they were so thin that a safety pin went right through the sandal and into my foot. That is why I am enjoying this thicker minimalist sandal when I do wear shoes.

      @@ElysiaRaimondo Good to hear, it truly is great for both physical and mental health! That's unfortunate to hear about the xero shoes, I can fully understand you wanting a thicker sole when travelling in areas with such things on the ground.

    wish I could sleep naked, I go Jersey shore for a month every year with my grandpa and spend time with my uncle from Arizona, so my family like come in my room to wake me up so I have to wear pajamas or I would be naked if they didn't this might help for my next trip for a month since I left some there

    • @ElysiaRaimondo
      @ElysiaRaimondo  2 роки тому +1

      Many people that I have met in Costa Rica are traveling with a 40-70L backpack. If it can fit on carry on then I would consider it minimalist traveling. 😁
