Refreshing to watch a pack with me where the goal is to take the right amount of stuff, not just the least amount of stuff. I find the minimalists take all the fun out of it, and won’t ever travel with more than a carryon.

My thing when it comes to packing is it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it so i over pack and to be honest I do end up using the extra stuff I pack because when u go on vacation u have to be ready for anything

😂😂😂😂 I instantly started panicking for her🤣🤣🤣 I know that I’m stressed to see that everything for seven days fit in that one packing cube and on the one (wrong side) of the suitcase🚩🚩🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️😡😡!!!! I can think of 20 things she forgot for her🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪 I’m extremely triggered and stressed about 💁🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤣🤣🚩🚩

One thing you didn’t mention was when packing the suitcase make sure the heavy stuff is at the bottom. Trying to manoeuvre a top heavy rolling suitcase is not fun.

I actually write down my itinerary too and I write down what I will wear for each day…morning, day and night…each expedition is different… Writing it down helps to get dress in the morning. I once travelled with someone who had clothes all over the room trying to decide what she was going to wear. Taking photos on your phone of each outfits is the best idea…it makes packing for your next trip even faster. It took me years to buy the right travel clothes. I can now pack into a carry on 14 days worth of clothing with the help of packing cubes ..(I started out many years ago with large baggies that also works) Note: on long hauls with multiple stops it might be best to use a 24 inch luggage instead of carry on. A 24 inch is very easy to manage but needs to be checked in. A checked bag means you don’t have to haul your luggage with you through multiple airports and makes going through security check points that much faster especially if you don’t have much time between each flights.

Awesome I do something similar Pics of outfits is cool

One of the positives with sharing a suitcase is it really forces you to take what you need/will definitely wear. Having an itinerary is key to effective packing too. It works even better for me since I only wear neutral color clothing so just about all my outfits are interchangeable. Even though I get at least 2 free checked bags with most airlines, it definitely does make traveling easier sharing 2 checked bags vs checking 4 individual bags (I come from a family of 4). Great video!!

I have used your packing method just without the mesh bags. It still works great!

Rolling clothes saves more room! I don't understand how but it does! Lol

I prefer to roll the outfits together so i can just “grab n go” without digging through my whole suitcase. It also helps with keeping track of everything. I just roll a t-shirt, shorts, underwear and socks together and just re-use a few bras so i pack those separately then i line up the rolls in the suitcase and fill in the extra space with the “non rollables”, toiletrie bag, shoes etc.

Love the Away suitcase!

I too like to roll up my clothes AND secure in place with rubber bands. Furthermore, to maximize space and protect my clothes from any potential liquid spillage, I use air compression bags for my clothing. I also try to pack as light as possible to pack more. A large lightweight scarf comes in handy for your carry on in case it gets cool on the plane ride.

Great video! :D I really like these types of videos! It would be great to know about electronics. I remember when I traveled I was told at the check in bag area to have batteries in my personal bag rather than the checked bag.

Well, if you fold up the bottom about an inch or so first before you roll you can use that to tuck the garment into itself. It’s called an Army Roll, no need for bags. If you pack the rolled item vertically in say a 20 inch carryon, you can double your space for more clothing.
