Where else could you have experienced what you did and end up loving everything that you were blessed with? There is something that will always give you the surprises that suddenly appear. It is great that you were able to visit with Alex and Julia, and just imagine staying in the luxury places you did not even imagine when you made plans to come to this country. You deserve all of this, and also a well needed rest. You have been so open and share your heart, many of us could never do what you do, but we all know that what Alina sees, we will get the same look because you always share from your heart. You are right in so many ways, this is definitely a much wonderful place to experience, now we just have to figure out how to air condition the place....that is the hard part!! ))))) Be safe in your travel and keep smiling.

They showed a couple of E-Bikes, works like 5-speed manual or with electric motor-assist for hills, etc. That could help you. I know it might be difficult to transport this, but shipping might be worth it depending on how much hilly country you might traverse? Have a look for fun anyway!!

good call with the scooter. i understand the convenience aspect that prompts folk to rent. i was in koh samui for 5 weeks a couple of years ago and once i got the skinny on the randomness of renting there was enough for me to say ‘a hard no for me, dawg.’ i like you, love walking. all the walking in the heat complimented my muay-thai training perfectly. recalibrate. refocus. do what you need to get back on track. don’t sweat it. the true ones will still be here and rock with you on your next move 🤜🤛.

I used GAP for my trip to Africa. It was the best balance for safety, access, and $$$. On a completely separate trip I stayed in Nice, France for six weeks and forced myself to stay put. I did lots of amazing day trips and really wanted to revisit Italy, but staying in one place helped me to totally get to know the city (& I even met someone special who I never would’ve met if I had been on my regular backpack type trip.☺️).

I was considering that but it looks like I may have a few options in eastern europe to get vaccinated in. Canada still has their hotel quarantine going on so not much point spending so much to fly down there, spend $2000 on a 3 day hotel and also sit at home for another 12 days before I can even go get the first shot. It would be a multi-month long hassle so if I can get it in eastern europe that would be ideal.

Hey Alina! Great video, as usual. Bet Misha helped - I recognize his fingerprints. But that source content is what makes it - kudos! Sweetheart, so glad to hear your honesty about needing to take care of self, refocus on authenticity, etc. Speculating here: It is too easy to get “burn out” for anyone who throws themself too heavily into their job, any job (yup, even digital nomads). Take care of the person inside you; if that means some slowing down of content, we will certainly understand (your online family loves you that much!). Don’t let the restaurants over-feed you to show off their menus. Take care of your skin. Take care of your spiritual side. You are such a beautiful person, and the wisdom you have gained over the last couple of years makes you even more so. Thank you for speaking in Reporterfy’s last stream.

I understand what you are saying Alina about the dangers of riding scooters - especially regarding insurance issues without a license - but it is such a cool feeling of freedom to ride one! I'm sure if you just wanted to experience it for a day or 1/2 day you could find a rider to take you as a passenger - and although not quite the same at least it will give you that 'wind-blowing-through-your-hair' feeling and allow you to experience the sounds of everything as you pass by! Just a thought! Sad to hear that you are thinking of leaving Thailand - I'm sure Thailand will miss you - I've enjoyed your coverage of the areas that you've been to - but life goes on!

Your Phuket videos are making me miss my favorite island in the world soooo much! I've been over there 4 times in the last six year, last year "stuck" there from March 23rd to July 1st. It's definitely still looking the same...so sad for the Thai people! You're lucky though because last year we couldn't even go on the beach or swimming for two months. Finally, they opened them up for the last month I was there. Also, yep, good if you don't have a motorbike license to not ride them. It does make it hard to get all around the island, though. I'm lucky and have a license and must have gone up and down almost every street on the island last year when we couldn't swim, lol. Thank you for bringing back all my great memories...I can't make it back for a while, wishing I could come in July, but that's life!

Very true. This was one of the first places I researched to move too, then the Philippines. I finally settled on Albania but maybe someday I might still visit Thailand, who knows.
Wish you the best success with your new traveling adventure, where ever that may be. You are living a dream I have always wanted. Take care
Your video is super cool! Staying on track, Alina Mcleod!❤️
Your videos are so refreshing even when things are not going as planned. You are always making an effort.
Hi Alina! Please take some time to rest, take care of yourself, and satisfy your personal needs and wants. Despite how your journey may appear to others, you have not been vacationing and you are not on vacation. You continue to work hard and diligently at a non-stop pace. Take some down time for yourself. Be happy, safe, and healthy, Alina!!!

Good breakfast find. I was in Chile for the past 7 years and it was often difficult to find good vegan options.
There is no greater beauty or charm than what we can find in your video.....thanks for sharing!!!!!!
That breakfast is a DREAM. Glad that for your safety and the safety of others, you're staying put. Phuket looks sunny and beautiful 🤩 from here. Wishing you safe travels, wherever you land next.
You are a really great person..I love the way you explain everything..super nice. Best wishes.& Best of good Luck!!

Very beautiful Thailand and phuket happy travel to you..we are here in Sweden so nice summer here..but Thailand it's more beautiful...
Hope you get off the island safe and well and get on the next adventure soon. I made a little bit of content on the real side of living here and the reality of what it's like. Be safe, be strong and good luck and thanks for showing your massive audience a bit of our backyard...
Where else could you have experienced what you did and end up loving everything that you were blessed with? There is something that will always give you the surprises that suddenly appear. It is great that you were able to visit with Alex and Julia, and just imagine staying in the luxury places you did not even imagine when you made plans to come to this country. You deserve all of this, and also a well needed rest. You have been so open and share your heart, many of us could never do what you do, but we all know that what Alina sees, we will get the same look because you always share from your heart. You are right in so many ways, this is definitely a much wonderful place to experience, now we just have to figure out how to air condition the place....that is the hard part!! ))))) Be safe in your travel and keep smiling. Will let you know my update soon, and remember we are all here for you, Alina!! Cheers !!!

Hi Alina, great video thanks. Here is just a small tip which I noticed when you walk on the road if there is no walkway. Always walk ahead of the traffic which is much more safer then walking with the traffic. In this way you see the traffic a head. Good luck and all the best…….
Alina thanks for the travel videos of Thailand. I thoroughly enjoyed them and look forward to your next adventure. Alina just remember to take care of yourself first. I will definitely be big supporter for your adventures. You are wonderful person and love your personality.

A bicycle is always an option. You’re not stuck in one place and you can ride around the world on one. It does mean disassembly and reassembly when you’re crossing oceans but if its all contiguous, its not that much of a drawback. Its just another kind of tourist experience.

@@AlinaMcleod , and Norm: saw this in Luca and Sara’s latest video (they are a couple of travel vloggers who live in Italy - love their stuff too!). They showed a couple of E-Bikes, works like 5-speed manual or with electric motor-assist for hills, etc. That could help you. I know it might be difficult to transport this, but shipping might be worth it depending on how much hilly country you might traverse? Have a look for fun anyway!!

Swasdi, Alina, now that´s definitely a tough time for all of us and also the people living from the visitors money all around the world. Checking the rules simply at least every day. Is it possible to go or where is it possible to go. You will do it right. Well done vid biz, sure. Take care and stay safe, always.
All the best. Take care of yourself now
Enjoying you're presentation ! Take care !
good call with the scooter. i understand the convenience aspect that prompts folk to rent. i was in koh samui for 5 weeks a couple of years ago and once i got the skinny on the randomness of renting there was enough for me to say ‘a hard no for me, dawg.’ i like you, love walking. all the walking in the heat complimented my muay-thai training perfectly. recalibrate. refocus. do what you need to get back on track. don’t sweat it. the true ones will still be here and rock with you on your next move 🤜🤛.
I used GAP for my trip to Africa. It was the best balance for safety, access, and $$$. On a completely separate trip I stayed in Nice, France for six weeks and forced myself to stay put. I did lots of amazing day trips and really wanted to revisit Italy, but staying in one place helped me to totally get to know the city (& I even met someone special who I never would’ve met if I had been on my regular backpack type trip.☺️). Happy travels, stay safe.

Take care Alina, enjoy your updates. It is getting very hard to enter a lot of countries,and a lot of expats having to exit a lot of Asian countries as they wont extend visas.
I recommend you to stay overnight at The Racha, Racha Island for 2 nights while you're still in Phuket. Because there is the most beautiful private beach and not far from Phuket.
I love your journey very much. Thailand is really the best of tourism.
Be safe Alina.
Your presentation is simply awesome
Alina, Chris Parker (Retired working for you) and CBmedia are in Phuket. There will be surely so many things about to happen.
Chill out, reboot and decide what you need next. Phuket looks tough in that hotel 😉 2021 is proving a fluid time still and planning is a bit of a nightmare for most us.
It's been fun watching your Thailand adventures while we live in lockdown here. If you haven't been vaccinated yet perhaps a trip back to Canada will take care of that. Vaccine passports are being demanded more and more for travellers. A lot of challenges for travel vloggers in this pandemic. Stay well and stay safe Alina!

I was considering that but it looks like I may have a few options in eastern europe to get vaccinated in. Canada still has their hotel quarantine going on so not much point spending so much to fly down there, spend $2000 on a 3 day hotel and also sit at home for another 12 days before I can even go get the first shot. It would be a multi-month long hassle so if I can get it in eastern europe that would be ideal.
Here is an idea. Get a bright colored sun parasol or a wide brim hat. Motorcyclists would see it easily and be more careful. It will block the sun and you will not be so hot while walking.
Another nice video, Alina. Keep safe and good luck on your next trip. Following from Trinidad
Hey Alina! Great video, as usual. Bet Misha helped - I recognize his fingerprints. But that source content is what makes it - kudos! Sweetheart, so glad to hear your honesty about needing to take care of self, refocus on authenticity, etc. Speculating here: It is too easy to get “burn out” for anyone who throws themself too heavily into their job, any job (yup, even digital nomads). Take care of the person inside you; if that means some slowing down of content, we will certainly understand (your online family loves you that much!). Don’t let the restaurants over-feed you to show off their menus. Take care of your skin. Take care of your spiritual side. You are such a beautiful person, and the wisdom you have gained over the last couple of years makes you even more so. Thank you for speaking in Reporterfy’s last stream. Safe travels, and “go with God” (what was that in Russian?). 🤗
Please take care and stay safe
I understand what you are saying Alina about the dangers of riding scooters - especially regarding insurance issues without a license - but it is such a cool feeling of freedom to ride one! I'm sure if you just wanted to experience it for a day or 1/2 day you could find a rider to take you as a passenger - and although not quite the same at least it will give you that 'wind-blowing-through-your-hair' feeling and allow you to experience the sounds of everything as you pass by! Just a thought! Sad to hear that you are thinking of leaving Thailand - I'm sure Thailand will miss you - I've enjoyed your coverage of the areas that you've been to - but life goes on! Wishing you a safe journey where-ever you decide to go! 😎

Yes, it is an amazing experience. I rode on the back of one a lot here in Bangkok. In Phuket there sadly isn't a lot of scooter taxis around at least in the areas I was in.
While staying in the South book a trip Li Pe Island then to Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Phi Phi Island Krabi and then to Ratchaprapha dam, Surat Thani. Better to ask Hotel to organize the trips.
ah this makes me miss Thailand and Asia! Take some time for you is always important! Good luck where ever you lend up next .
Nice video, be safe take care. Scooter driving is not safe. It requires practice and pessions.
You are correct not to use the scooter, first of all drivers in Phuket are horrible, second is that there are many hills and curves around the island and third is as you mentioned, the insurance dilemma! Stay safe and be well and enjoy Phuket!

Your Phuket videos are making me miss my favorite island in the world soooo much! I've been over there 4 times in the last six year, last year "stuck" there from March 23rd to July 1st. It's definitely still looking the same...so sad for the Thai people! You're lucky though because last year we couldn't even go on the beach or swimming for two months. Finally, they opened them up for the last month I was there. Also, yep, good if you don't have a motorbike license to not ride them. It does make it hard to get all around the island, though. I'm lucky and have a license and must have gone up and down almost every street on the island last year when we couldn't swim, lol. Thank you for bringing back all my great memories...I can't make it back for a while, wishing I could come in July, but that's life!
