(cringy Korean (I'm so sorry!) 안녕하세요. 저는 린지입니다!
Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey and I'm not quite in Seoul yet.
So, welcome to my channel! This is the first video on my study abroad channel.
I'm actually a little nervous making this video, because I'm so used to another (filming) angle for my book videos.
I do have another BookTuber channel and that's where I'm used to filming.
So this is going to be a little different. I hope y'all will bear with me as I figure out how I want to do
these few videos prior going to South Korea.
You'll also know I talk with my hands a lot, sooo, yeah.
So! If you look on the internet for study abroad hauls,
you'll see a lot of like essential things you need for traveling abroad and
those are great videos. This is not that video. These are basically just items
that are gonna make my life a little easier while I am in South Korea for
four months at Yonsei University starting next month--ah!--so here we go!
So the first thing I had to get was, you know, a suitcase because I only had a
carry on for when I went to China for a student trip in 2016.
Wow, I sound like a world traveler when I say I went to China and I'm going to
South Korea. Those are the only places I have or will be going that I know of in
this near future. So, the first thing I had to do was get a suitcase so I got--
eeee! Isn't is CUTE?!
This is an...let's see, can y'all see it? Okay, this is the carry-on one. This looks
really awkward on camera...bear with me I'm sorry...so this is the carry-on
because I got the big one...haha...this one doesn't even fit in frame. So this is a
Calpak x Oh Joy! collaboration and it is the cutest polka dot confetti color
ever! I love this one and what's really neat...it has the TSA look and it also has
I can't open it now (good job, lindsey)...ah... push it down...let me mess up my pin...there...you push it down
and they open so it's a special TSA lock. Now this is where I show y'all I am NOT
a world traveler so I'm just going with what everybody's been saying online on
[and on] the official government websites which is the best thing you can do
preparing to go abroad. Look at the official government sites. So, yes, the
first thing I had to get was a suitcase because I actually didn't have a
suitcase of my own so I got this small carry-on size and then also the big
checked one from Calpak. I think it's .com I will link everything
down below in case y'all are interested in anything. I'm not gonna lie I think
that there are some really cool things in this little haul doodad I'm doing and
this is one of them because it's so cute and it's really durable from what I can
tell and the reviews were really good. And that is completely the end of my
essential travel accessory haul. Everything else here is going to be pure
fun so I hope you enjoy it! Okay, this next thing is also part of the whole
luggage thing but not essential but I guess you could think of it as essential
in this day and age it is a luggage tag battery pack! *mind blown* To charge it it's just like
a normal battery power pack whatever you call them I know them by like eight
different names but you charge it and then it can charge your
phone or other devices and it's brilliant! I was way too excited when I
saw this on Oh Joy!'s website. I lost my marbles because it's adorable--it's matches! It's the
same pattern y'all! I feel like if you've seen me from my other channel you will
know I fangirl easy over cute things. Welcome to this channel I still
fangirl over cute things. But both of those items plus the big suitcase which
I'm not gonna show y'all because it's huge,
those are all from the Oh Joy! x Calpak collaboration and they have been
mentioning on Instagram but this collection might be going away soon so
if you like them definitely check them out because they're coming up with
something else now~! Okay, item number two...oh, I need to
explain this item now, don't I? Okay, so, for those who are new or I don't know me
from my other channel. Hi! Welcome! So glad you're here! I promise I will have more
interesting videos when I'm actually in Korea. I love taking pictures, videography,
I love all of that stuff. If y'all are a photographer or a videographer then you may
know the brand Kelly Moore. I love their stuff. I am very much addicted to their stuff and as a
plant-based/vegan person, I love that they also offer vegan leather. It's "A
Beautiful Mess" bag in blush. The color is not really showing through very well on
the camera, so I apologize, but it is a beautiful blush and I'm so excited to
take pictures of this and the cherry blossoms because I-get-to-see-cherry-blossoms *happy dance*. So, yes, I am so excited
about this bag and what's really neat about Kelly Moore bags--can I do this one
handed, Lindsey, you might have to insert clips--what's really nice is I can use
this as a school bag because my laptop fits in here and I am NOT one of the
girls that has that 13 inch MacBook, so I was a little afraid that my laptop
wouldn't fit in here at 14 inches--but it will, so we're good! So, this bag is really neat because not only
do they allow you to go crossbody with it, shoulder, they also include the
backpack options which I will definitely be making use of and of course all these
this little insert divider thing can come out and it's customizable and it's
fantastic. And I feel like I should point out that Kelly Moore stuff is not cheap
but that is because it is great quality stuff and if you can get it on sale
you're doing really good and I got a fantastic deal on this with their black
extended Black Friday special and then I had to keep on and--oh!-- I'm so happy about
this bag. I'm in love with this bag. It is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to
take it all around Seoul with me. I'm so excited. Okay, so, there's the--those are
really the only two practical items in this haul everything else, yeah, it's
mainly fun stuff so let's just go through some quick things. So for my
vlogging camera the G7 X Canon G7 X Mark ii--you know the typical
vlogging camera that every Youtuber uses. I got an extra battery because I'm gonna
be vlogging and South Korea and taking pictures so that's a no-brainer. So, I
guess this would be slightly needed to travel. I could have bought it in Korea
but I went ahead and got it here because I am a planner and over-prepared (dog barking in background), so we
have the surge protector {I meant adapter!} that has Korea...where is
Korea..there, there you go! The two prongs and of course we have a surge protector.
I wanted to go ahead and get my favorite makeup here and again I did Black Friday
shopping and Cyber Monday shopping because PUR--the company that I love to
use--actually did half-off everything and if y'all know makeup, it isn't cheap! So, I
quickly snatched all my items I needed and hopefully this will last me. I think
it will...hopefully. So, we have my foundation, the HydraGel Lift (for under your eyes), a foundation brush,
correcting primer, and then this is "Disappearing Ink", but what it should
say is magic! Because it is--*drops items*. Okay, where was I? Yes, okay, these are concealers and
y'all! We're gonna go all beauty guru--that I'm not by the way--now this is concealer
and it says it's "Disappearing Ink", but what it should say is magic because it
is! One thing I really love about PUR makeup is it is vegan, [and] they use a lot of
great add-ins that help your skin. Just when I wear it for like three days a
week I notice my complexion gets much better and I'm saying that as someone
who is incredibly acne prone. I don't have mascara in my hand because I still
have a little bit and I'll probably buy some but again I use PUR's stuff. I love--I
love it because I don't feel it on my skin. PUR, if you would like to sponsor
me let me know. This kind of was a necessity not really a necessity for
studying abroad but just life in general: Vitamin E sticks. Again, I just mentioned
I am incredibly acne prone, therefore, acne scar prone and if you have, if y'all
have that problem: Vitamin E. I kid you not, it's mind-blowing how well it
works on all types of scars. This works so good--it's amazing and it works great
on acne stuff too. It's amazing, so I-- these aren't all mine but I'm gonna take
a good amount of these to Korea with me. So, this next item, it's a portable
blender and it shows it's the pretty blue--which I love that blue--but I
thought it would be better to get white! So I got white and it is a little
usb-connected thing and...ah, that's all I got. I haven't tried
this yet. Obviously, I'm so excited. Little ice cubes! *squees* Why is mini things
so cute? I don't know, but. I am very excited to try this out. I will have to
try it out before I leave to make sure it works. So, yes, just a blender, a little
blender, personal size blender that's actually pretty light but it looks
really durable and had really good reviews again so I got it on sale and I
was excited about that. Next item that was purchased was one I
actually have seen in a lot of travel videos that you should get and you know
I believe it now. Packing cubes, but not just any packing cubes, oh no no no.
These are the collapsible packing cubes, which for what I can tell, really
is a game changer. Basically you stuff your stuff in, you zip up that zipper and then
you have this expanded zipper and you zip it up--and it's magic! I will insert a
clip over here while I talk of getting a huge fluffy jacket into this extra small
one. But it came with four and this blue looks really dark on camera and it's not
that dark. It is from the brand GONEX and I have to say I'm really impressed. It
had good reviews again and, yes. :) Next item was a planner this is from Walmart and,
yes, I know I could have gotten the planner in Korea--obviously--with all
those stationery stores that I will be visiting and buying way too much at, but
I went ahead and got one that I could look through better here and kind of
figure out what I need. So, it's just, you know, it's a simple simple little planner
because you know university student. Next was just one of those suitcase
weights. This is a very lightweight one, so it will be great to have in my
suitcase for when I come back to make sure I don't get charged to those crazy
fees. And then three sets of these gear ties which are basically reusable bendy
things for your cords and *sighs* I have a lot of cords, so I'm going to try to be
organized. Look it's a little, you see? They're reusable and you can bend them--
they're a little tough at first--but they're cool! If you stick around to this
channel or you know me from my other channel you may know that I'm a little
bit of a Type-A/organizing overachiever/ perfectionist, so, I'm gonna be organized
as much as I can. Okay, again, this is a fun haul y'all, this is not really an
essential haul and this is not essential but it's adorable! It is what's called a
cable bite. It's just a little thingy that goes around your cord and bites
your phone cord so it doesn't rip. I love my pandas and when I saw this I squeed
and it's even cuter in person. And on that note of pandas, my sister gave me
for Christmas a scarf that has pandas on it and not only can I use it to wrap
around my hair for when I'm sleeping on the plane to try to eliminate the whole
frizzy hair situation, she also had the idea that I can put essential oils on it
when the dust is bad and either have it around me or as a facemask-kind-of-idea,
so we will see and I will play with all of it. I think it's so cute and it's very
soft. So, next is just a little travel wallet it can fit my passport, it also
will fit Korean money which is a little bit bigger than American money and
a pen! It had a pen holder! I'd love to say that this wasn't the reason I wanted
this specific wallet, but that would be a lie. Because I did want it because of
the pen holder, because, you know, you have to fill out customs and all that and you
don't want to be that person asking your person next to you for a pen so I'm
gonna be prepared and have a pen. I'd like to say this is not the color I
expected but we're just gonna go with it. According to most Amazon reviews on this
item it says it's [RFID]..I don't know how to test that, so hopefully it is. Okay,
this next item has me giddy and I'm still in love with this item. If you
watch any of those like Amazon tech under $50 videos--which YouTube keeps
suggesting to me so I keep watching them-- you might have seen this item, it is the
Rocket Book Everlast and-- this is amazing, y'all--it is a reusable
notebook that is connected to your phone by what you scan. I got the pretty blue.
You have to use these special pins (Pilot Frixion). Okay, so, very fun, yes? What's really cool
is these pins erase on this special notebook so..mmm..let me drawn just
something, okay, ready? Wait, I can't see what I'm doing...this is a problem. Magic!
It's gone! It was right there, it was right there! It's gone!
It's magic! One of my missions while I'm in Korea is to find the best bubble tea
house. We will see. Okay, so, then with this is amazing technology and I kind of
wish I had this years and years ago because it's brilliant. So you open the
app where...new scan..here we go! Okay I'll insert it over there [which I forgot! I'm so sorry!] but
basically it has all kinds of little marks that you can check off to put
where you want them since either your iCloud or Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. There
are gonna be some classes it looks like for when I'm at Yonsei that I'm not
allowed to take my laptop in for notes, so I wanted something where I can have
my notes to my computer and I don't have to type them up. I don't have to type
with this thing. So now, this this is the really really cool part! Okay, I'm being
very extra over here and I just took the condensation off of my bubble tea and
you have to get the special cloth wet and are we ready? are we ready?
Did y'all see that?! And then you wipe dry with another part--I missed a spot there,
there we go-- dry with another part, wait a couple minutes for it to be completely
dry and you can reuse the page 99 more times. *claps* This is absolutely brilliant
technology I'd like to say. So, I feel like--I should mention though that this
is the Rocket Book Everlast. They have another one called the Rocket Book Wave
and to clean the page you have to stick it in the microwave. My family doesn't
own a microwave and I don't really want to put a notebook in the microwave at
Yonsei in the main kitchen, so I went I went ahead and upgraded to the special
one and honestly this was under $40 I believe and it comes with the one pen.
You have to use that brand [Pilot Frixion] pen, though, no other pens will work on this. When I
got to play with us this was about the same feeling that I had when I walked
into a Half Price Books and they had shopping carts. A book store that has
shopping carts! What a time to be alive!! I get very passionate about very random
topics so, haha. Okay and on that note, I also went ahead and got a set of the special
pens you're supposed to use for this which is the Pilot Frixion, the
Pilot Frixion pens. These are in color because as we already established I love
color. And these also have a special caps that you can erase with, which pens that
erased our brilliant concept, so. :D Look how colorful! And to further confirm my love
of color I also got these-- *snaps and falls* things are falling, things are breaking--okay I just,
I just broke my pack, cool. These are pens that are just for like bullet
journaling...not that I do that because [I'm] too much of a perfectionist and it
stresses me out, if we're being honest. So these are just for notes for my Korean
books, for all kinds of things, they are special pens I already have a set of
these that I love and these are just even more colors and you cannot go wrong
with more colors. So that's really it for this video. These are some of the fun
items I have gotten for my study abroad journey and excitement and, yes, I have already
played with a lot of them. Obviously--whoops--so, yes, these are just really fun
ones I don't--I don't think I'll ever make a video that's like the "essential
things you need", maybe at the end of my study abroad journey I will do a video
on things that I was glad I brought and stuff like that...maybe I'll do that if
anyone would interested...to help out future study abroad people in Korea.
But as far as everything else that's.. that's really it for this video I hope
you enjoyed it! Let me know what was your favorite item in the haul. Let's be
honest the Rocket Book notebook thing is-- it's brilliant, but also the luggage tag
the battery-powered luggage tag is also amazing and that Kelly Moore bag.. ah, so cute! *heart eyes*
Okay, okay, okay, I'm gonna start talking all over again. I don't need to do that
this video has been long enough. I hope you enjoyed this video. Please let me
know if you'd like me to do any other videos before I leave or while I'm in
Korea, I would love to know in the comments below. :)
I am just so very excited about the study abroad journey that I will be able
to embark on very soon. So I hope you enjoyed this video and please let me
know if there's any other videos you would like to see me make and I'll see
y'all next time! Bye~!
