hey there one welcome back this is
christina girl traveler
have you ever packed for a trip and then
realized while you're on the trip that
you didn't pack what you should have
welcome to my world currently i'm on my
trip through jilin china and all these
exciting things that you could do while
you're experiencing winter in jilin as a
lot of snow out there but I didn't
expect was that might be experiencing a
lot about or activities every day like
skiing snow drifting sightseeing liked
reading through inches and inches of
snow to get to somewhere I didn't quite
pack for the right type of winter
today I'm going to share with you my
travel essentials for packing for a
winter vacation or a winter activity
vacation just to let you know my clothes
might be changing throughout this video
and that's because i actually started
this video when I got up and I thought
of the idea and then within the process
well the time has been going and I
actually have to leave pretty soon this
is 100% silk i actually bought this in
the mainline us which could probably
just gotten in here
made in China it doesn't even seem like
it would be warm but these are actually
quite warm allows you to wear skinny
jeans and be fashionable sometimes they
sell like silk underwear like I showed
you the bottoms these bottoms they sell
in a topping from away i don't have like
a lot of winter gear and don't have a
lot of winter clothes and so what I
always have to do is I have to layer i
have like a spandex type of tank top
that I wear underneath like to get like
a regular knit glove is not going to be
enough
you want a glove that is going to have
some kind of insulation least lining
insulates your hands so that it's warm
inside the downfall of these is that the
snow is eventually going to melt and
it's gonna go through your gloves your
glasses can be wet
I've had that happen but if you've got
nothing else you don't want to invest in
ski gloves or something like that
leather gloves are actually supposed to
be pretty good too
in one of my videos i already showed you
what my arm warmers do these are my
favorite arm warmers all they do is
basically wore my arm and a warm like
this palm operate my camera like
this these are my standard running shoes
which I take with me on every trip
almost because it allows me to do a lot
of walking
however this is not very practical for
snow it's not very thick either when
your foot sinks into the snow all this
area gets cold and not only that you'll
feel the cold coming in from the bottom
and hours even just like standing on
cold concrete or cold grounds your feet
will get cold
fortunately one of the experts on this
trip lonely her hugs and cover a good
chunk of my leg
comparatively it doesn't seem like the
two are very different in terms of
thickness to the solar is kind of like a
a warm layer i think of wool at the very
bottom of the shoe that helps insulate
your foot
these are pretty resistant to the snow
and when it melts these dry fairly
quickly
obviously knit caps generally tend to be
fairly warm that's why i like them these
pretty much keep me warm however it's
always nice when I have my actual winter
jacket to pull my pussy over it as well
keep your head warm it actually helps to
keep the rest of your body warm if
you're in a country that sells heat
packs you might want to ask if they do
pick a couple up these particular ones
in China they stick to you so you find
what point in your body and you would
stick it onto your clothes
it will keep you warm in that area
because my feet get cold
I've been putting these more like white
guys my cats too kind of like keep this
area warm this is supposed to last maybe
around ten hours they say have
experienced it lasting a lot more than
10 hours i'd say like 14 maybe even
longer so this is my korean facemask and
you will be able to find this anywhere
in Asia Korea China Japan Taiwan these
are very popular for when your sake it's
polite to wear masks in China it's
important to wear masks whenever there's
high smog or high pollution days and
some of their face masks can get pretty
it's actually can be more like
respiratory masks you want to cover your
face at times to keep it from getting
frostbitten now they also sell the the
whole ski masks the scary ones that you
see portrayed you know like criminals
portrayed in where they pull it over and
you can only see the eyes those are
great too except for your good looks
scary
there are times that my nose will run
under this and it's just like why the
thing's actually did right with this
trip is I brought my northface pence
you've seen this in videos i know you
seen my packing videos you've seen it in
use on bornean safaris and stuff like
that it's convertible you can turn into
shorts you could keep it long you can
turn it into the pre's they're super
durable has helped when we've done like
snow play activities because it's a lot
more resilient and durable and a little
more resistant to water than regular
jeans leg warmers a given these are
things that I have used they keep me
warm they keep my legs warm for the most
part they extend up above my knee cap
and these are more or less like ballet
leg warmers i'll put a link down below
and cream
I was bringing us along during the
winter your skin will get dry and it'll
tear easily look see those right there
that's from whatever I have to stick my
hands in into my bag brushing up against
the bag is very effective and I get
things like that and although they look
really small they do hurt these are my
weak points right here i'm weak points
they're always exposed to my camera bag
and me like getting their batteries or
changing out equipment or this is a
cream cream tends to be thicker and a
lot more buttery so you can see right
there that's how it is
apply this generously especially the
knuckles the knuckles are the most
exposed you're staying at a hotel you
get body lotion and this does everything
to not that much good
it's really thin and so you're gonna
have to use this generously and more
often but it's more watery and so your
your hands are going to need to be
hydrated more often i probably need to
squirt in more than that but this is for
example although i don't like endorsing
animal products wool socks sometimes you
are good enough singly sometimes you
even want to try and double up although
when you double up there fairly thick
this point i got a smart well I've had
this pair of socks forever but they are
pretty insulated winter jacket now
that's personal preference to everyone
you do want to make sure it's the though
you get out on those slopes or into
nature where it's biting cold the more
effective winter jackets tend to be a
little more puffy and bulky you want the
bulk because that's going to protect
your body from the elements
the more fashion oriented ones they're
not going to do anything and they're
just gonna go right through that jacket
don't want to the pic if it can be lined
that more to your advantage and you want
something with a hood ideally just
because your neck will get cold at times
sometimes the wind will hit you in the
back of the net and you just want to be
bundled all the weight like a little
comb you want to be protected
it's always important to have some kind
of scarf with you you've seen my my
green pashmina scarf that that's
something i use on every trip basically
because it's so large and I can bundle
it and it's very warm or a large type of
anything large that you can wrap around
