hungry + healing in Thailand 😋 here's a little glimpse into my eat, pray, love journey (except replace 'pray' with eat and 'love' with more eating hehe) If you’re struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor BetterHelp.

I am in such a better place now with my mental health (the best it's ever been actually 🥹) This video took me a while to bring myself to edit. I started off wanting to document it all and then decided to stop. To REALLY disconnect. *I went to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi and Ko Tao before flying to Bali. But this is what I managed to capture during my first week. And a couple things I learned. And how i started to heal.

you don’t understand how happy this makes me 😭
The quote "My body is not just something to be looked at. It's my home." is actually about to make me cry
I GET SO HAPPY WHEN LINDA POSTS
This was by far the most beautiful, inspirational, and honest video I have ever seen. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you for this.
Being super sick right here but when Linda Sun posts something, I immediately feel better. She’s just so overwhelming and the energy she shows through smiling, it gets my batteries load up 🙏🏻
"You create routines that aren't focused on productivity, but peace." And also not let people make you feel guilty about that! Good for you, and also good for you for saying you don't have to go on a solo trip to Thailand to do these things.
I'm leaving for Thailand on a one way ticket November 6th! Also on the journey of finding myself...well put ❤
I’m only half way through the video but I must say this. Im planning my biggest trip ever, Im gonna visit South Korea, Thailand, Japan and Vietnam and Im doing it all alone. Im tired of living in Germany and Im tired of my (good) boring office job. Just 11 minutes of this video shows me that you can have so much fun by yourself and that it isnt scary. The way you travelled is the way I want to travel, eat delicious food, meet strangers and experience life. Im so overwhelmed with emotions watching this video, i cant stop smiling but also i have tears in my eyes. The part with the massage pants had me dying laughing, big big thanks and Im definitely staying here for a while! 🩷
I legit broke down crying at your monologue at the end. this pain and sadness will one day make sense. there's a future version of me that's excited to show me how amazing life gets for me. i just gotta take them for their word and show up for myself. thank you linda for helping me heal. you've become a part of my journey and have touched in ways i did not at all expect but im now so grateful for. <3
I have been watching your videos for years and when I saw your thumbnail I screamed out loud. I just got back to Canada after spending 6 months in Thailand alone and this video brought me back so intensely. It is just such a beautiful country, thanks for sharing!!
I don't usually comment in your videos but I just wanted to say thankyou for posting your videos and just being such a ray of sunshine, you should be so proud of yourself for being able to help so many people and being so raw and honest! I wish you all the best <3
The monologue got me🥹🥹🥺 I’ve just turned 25 and I figured out that it’s not a quarter life crisis I’m actually having the need to travel and explore. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve travelled like five countries this year but I was meant to take a gap year after I graduated in 2020, but sadly Covid happened and that got delayed ,but it’s always something I’ve wanted to to Jess, go back, packing or travelling in Asia for six months. Your video is so inspiring☺️✨✨🫶🏾
Thailand is full of beauty in every region — from breathtaking places to a rich variety of delicious foods. Each area has its own distinct flavors, all incredibly tasty and often bold in taste. But the most beautiful part of Thailand is us — the Thai people. We are known for our warm smiles and open hearts. We don’t judge others based on differences, and diversity doesn’t divide us. Instead, it brings us together. Welcome to a land where kindness lives in every corner.
awww she put all places she visited in description box for us ❤️ best thing of course the video is an another masterpiece 👸🏻
anyone else agree that linda should start a podcast???
I swear solo travel, journaling, book tube and minimalist content on YouTube is my favorite content to watch 🫶🏾
" I fell in love with life, just my life. Life had always felt so exhausting for me... Living to just enjoy living wasn't a choice" this hit me so hard! I'm sooo happy to see LINDA SO HAPPY! ♥♥
Hi from Thailand🇹🇭🙏🥰I’ve watched your videos since 2020. I can start intuitive eating ,working out for enjoyment and loving myself because of you.Thank you for visiting and being the sweetest soul in the world!
Linda, I love you. Your stories and wisdom have touched me in a way that others just... Couldn't. I think you saved me from myself, from my ED. You're inspiring me to recover every day, and when things get hard, I listen to your videos, and learn to listen to my body, to myself. I cannot overstate how fricken grateful I am to you, because everything that you say and share help me through some of the toughest times of my life. You've helped me find my laugh, my smile, and helped reconnect with my love for food. I'm from a similar Chinese background, so we have similar family dynamics. I don't know if you read the comments or not, but I want to thank you for all you've done for me, and so many others. You deserve this kind of self-love. ❤❤❤
The way you enjoy comfort food is contagious ❤
