About Us!
If you had told me a year ago that we were going to sell all of our stuff to start backpacking the world, I would have called you a liar. Decisions like the one we made start with an inflection point. A point where you realize that life can never be the same anymore. After a challenging, and painful year in 2017, we decided we needed to go out and live the life we wanted to live, instead of watching it on someone else’s KZfaq Channel. We had given everything we had, physically and emotionally, for other’s dreams and were ready to work that hard for ourselves. From rock bottom, Chase for Adventure was born.
The Chase Begins
We moved in with our parents, sold everything we own including our cars, and paid off $70,000 worth of debt. We worked 70hrs/week over the last year trying to save up $15,000 to make our dreams come true. Now, we are travel journalists who showcase the beauty in different cultures and inspire others to chase their dreams through our KZfaq Channel and website Chase for Adventure. We want to show others that if they want something bad enough, they’ll figure out how to get it; show people who are struggling that they can make the light at the end of their tunnel. Chase for Adventure is more than just a travel vlog and blog; it’s the chronicles of what it’s like to have a dream and do whatever it takes to attain it.

I know this was from years ago, but in case anyone sees this- How I recommend someone clean their chacos and Teva sandals, wear them into the shower. I do that every time I camp, wear them into the camp shower, hostel shower… or your shower at home after a long dirty hike. Then your body wash gets soaked into the straps. Then take them off and let the water hit the footbed’s while you finish your shower. -an REI employee

If you’re not as small as a thai, bring underwear. I don’t have a very fat a.. but i had to search for a while until i found ones big enough. Put a letter on your carry on that says something like medicine inside ( prescription available) they love it that you come prepared and usually don’t stop you from taking a kilo more than usual

man ya'll pack light. Are you mainly staying in beach areas? Do you eat out in the evenings in nice places? I'm really having trouble narrowing it down to that little bit of clothing for all the traveling.

@ChaseforAdventure 7 ай бұрын

When this video was filmed, we were backpackers so no super nice places, however, we did care one nice outfit just in case we wanted to really dress up. But unless you’re planning a night out in Sukhumvit in Bangkok, the rest of Thailand is very casual dress code, even at nicer places.

I’m curious how do you stay under the 7 kg carry-on limit, carrying that much stuff? What’s your advice or tips?

@ChaseforAdventure 7 ай бұрын

We wear the heaviest cloths for the travel day and are very intentional about the weight of the cloths we pack for the trip. In reality, we would usually never make the weight limit but as long as the bag was the correct size and didn’t look heavy to the person at the counter, they never made us weight them. Out of maybe 100 flights, we were made to check our bag twice and that was only in Japan and China 😁👍🏽

Yes, bottles no bigger than 100ml/ 3oz and they all must technically fit inside a quart sized ziplock bag, but I have found that they’ve become more lenient regarding where the liquids are kept. Just be prepared to pull them out if they ask at security.

Your recommendations are just over the top. This is entirely too much stuff. I don't see how you can get it all in the backpack or a suitcase. If you did get it all in there it would probably be overweight and you get charged more. With all the stuff you recommend I don't see how you have any room for clothes. And how many people will be able to help you carry your luggage all over the country. I guess you could put it all on rollers and make it a wagon train. Good luck.

I actually disagree John. We have been traveling carry on only for 3 years and all of this forts into a single 55 liter back pack. On top of that we have widdled our list of items down to exactly what we need and not an item more. But if this is still too much for you...my friend you are a more seasoned carry on only expert than we are. Thank you so much for sharing and commenting.

@@ChaseforAdventure I looked at your list on your website. It is very comprehensive and inclusive. It is a huge number of items. There is no way all of that stuff will fit into a carry-on that fits in the airport frame. You might be able to squeeze it all into a larger bag that you take on the plane as a carry on. But if you fly through Taiwan or Dubai, they will check your carry-on size and weight and possibly make you check your bag. Which means that all your valuables are subject to be going through by the airport employees in a foreign country. You must have, although I haven't counted over 100 items on your list. No way does all of that stuff get into one frame sized carry on bag. If you're simply going on vacation and don't intend to be a digital nomad then you don't need very many of those things. Part of going on vacation is to be able to buy things that are in the country and experience actual life overseas. I think that's where your video misses the point. Good luck in your travels.
