I totally agree, I’m a little mesmerised watching packing videos and by the end I wonder if I picked any tips up. Glad to hear this was useful. We love our ecoegg it has saved us so many times!

And those packing cubes are life I have the same but in grey 🤙

Thanks for sharing your packing secrets! Especially the laundry detergent tip. We were looking for a better solution for laundry. We just bought packing cube very similiar to your and can't wait to put them to the test. Congrats on getting your luggage down to carry-on only. It's a goal for us too, but we'll see in two weeks whether or not we can do it.

If someone told me two years ago when we were packing up our entire house and having a panic the night before our flight at getting everything we needed into a big suitcase, I’d never believe I’d be here now with 10kg! Crazy what can be achieved with trial and error learning. I wouldn’t have it any other way now, I love every time we need to leave for somewhere else I’m fully packed in minutes! You can do it!

That's amazing that you can fit all of that in those 2 bags! I'm not a light packer I would need a larger case for sure. Those packing cubes that compress are amazing though!! Definitely going to look into those. And that eco egg seems pretty cool.

I was not such a light packer before but after dragging a heavy case along cobblestones in Estonia and the broken streets of Greece I decided to get better at packing light! 😅

Am brand new to your channel, we're a fellow Brit couple about to start a four month adventure around South America, and can't tell you how useful I've found your videos already! This one completely blew me away, to be honest, you've some great ideas that I've borrowed - thank you for the inspiration! Will definitely try compression packing cubes, and will get some laundry sheets that I think would be great for travelling with! Can I please ask which Rab jacket you have? Many thanks. Part of our trip in Peru has been cancelled due to the civil unrest there, so planning to fill the gap with either Salta region or Mendoza, and trying to absorb as much advice from your recent videos as possible to help us decide. In March we'll be at your current destination (according to your IG - am fangirling, not a creeper, honest! 😂), so really excited to see your future videos too! Thank you again, safe travels & happy 2023 to you both 😊

Thank you for the lovely comment! I’m glad to help with packing ideas, I love finding ways to keep luggage light after paying too many luggage fees over the years! I have the valiance Rab, it’s waterproof and so so warm I feel invincible in it, you can find it on our gear page on our website (in description). How exciting that you’re heading off to South America soon. We’re a little way behind from Instagram (as you know!) but we’ll be sharing more of this incredible continent in the coming weeks! Feel free to ask us any questions along the way and we’ll try and help out. Have the best time and safe travels!

Packing is always a struggle! Thankfully we usually go to trips from Turkey and come back there so it gives us a little bit more flexibility to change bags and belongings every couple of months or so! It is not fun to pack - like not at all, but it is part of the journey! We have the same converter, its a life saver! We use the packing cubes as well, I like them being see through to see which has what! Great video!

That’s great you were able to condense your suitcase even more year 2 of travel! We LOVE traveling with carry-on sized suitcases. It took several attempts but love what we brought. It looks like we have packed similarly which if validating but i have never heard of the eco egg!! 110% looking into that. Thanks for that! We also travel with electric toothbrushes haha love them!

I love the laundry egg and will buy one for sure! I’ve used compression packing cubes for several years and would never go back to packing with the regular ones. I also use powder dry shampoo and also toothpaste tablets to free up my clear TSA bag. I also pack tiny soap leafs in my personal item bag that come in handy if there’s no soap. They also make the leafs for shampoo and conditioner. I bought mine at REI, but think they are available on Amazon. The toothpaste powder is also on Amazon. I enjoyed your video and would love to be able to travel full-time like you. Love from California, USA.

I honestly can’t believe how much you have in that suitcase…even snorkelling gear 🙈 those packing cubes are amazing, I still haven’t tried using it, looks like it makes a huge difference!

Venus (US Brand) makes a travel sized razor that you refill the head on. It comes in a small travel case. Great solution for travel.

We are Looking at what bags to take for a year travel next year. Our concern is the liquid restrictions for only carry on? Also some airlines that have 7kg and only 1 bag. Thinking maybe one of us having a bigger checked bag and the other has similar to your carry on?

I don't understand how can one pack all of their life support into a 10kg suitcase. Amazing!

I have had airlines ask me but more as a request than a demand. As many airlines have a different option so I choose cabin bag for me and checked for Craig’s bigger bag the price is different so technically the cabin baggage service has been paid for so if they need to change it due to overbooking on their part it is usually asked. I prefer not to check mine in though as I did it the other day and they broke the lock on my bag whilst in their ‘care’ I now decline when they request as it’s not the service I want or pay for.
