Love to see what you used, liked, and didn’t need. I’m about to take a trip to Europe in August. What is the cross body bag with the water bottle holder you used? I don’t see it linked in your list of things you liked.

You should repack all the stuff you actually used and weigh it to see the difference. Im curious...😊 Did you know that there are a lot of substitutes for liquid items in solid form? I'm getting ready for my Japan trip in Spring 2024 with my family. Im usually an overpacker as well, but from doing research, people suggest to pack less and use backpack only because Japan has a lot of stairs. We are planning to bring only 2 backpacks and 2 personal items (fanny packs size) for our family of 4. Our goal is to carry only 15lbs each for my husband and I. But i did read somewhere that the doable weight limit for a comfortable carry-on is 10% of your body weight. Our key plan is to have Capsule wardrobe so we can mix and match outfits to be re-worn. Also doing laundry half way into the trip or just buy new clothes as our take home souvenirs. 😊 Good luck on your next trip❤

After years of international travel I discovered all of the things im really not going to wear. I wish I saw the earlier videos . I could have made more recommendations. Bring a rolling bag would have been one! I think those tik tok influence are paid by back pack companies. Carrying a bag is just insanity!! Your personal bag should be the only back pack! that can sit on top of the rolling bag when you need a break. 😊 Good video.

I prefer to carry a rucksack and maybe a crossbody bag or a tote (would be packed during boarding if asked to) but I limit my own weight to 8-10 kilos. Because changing trains, busses, trams, and all of the transport makes me more mobile, sometimes the overhead compartments aren’t big enough to put small rolling suitcases. When I saw her Beis weekender I was very surprised, becase for most that I love it, that bag itself is sturdy and heavy. Opting for solid toiletries is also a good idea, but I think loads of people do not realise that in most European airports the liquids and weight restrictions are a little more strict than in other parts of the world, and though you might get away with it, you might not. After all I believe that most important thing is to learn from your experience. Luckily Europe has all kinds of facilities so you can easily find anything you couldn’t pack or you forgot to bring. Thank you for sharing your unpack with me.

@@lilithcarter good points.The Pharmacies in the US are really expensive. I was shocked to see how cheap stuff was in the Pharmacy in Italy and I knew, I could just buy when an arrive next time. If its not a product specific to your skin or hair type its not worth packing. . as for the bags...the make rolling bags all kinds of sizes now. Carrying is just too cumbersome and laborious. they even have back packs with wheels. Im just pro wheel at this point. lol

I wish that on a recent trips to Paris and Rome I’d used a back pack instead on my rolling suitcase. Trains, buses, cobblestone streets were a real pain. I’m travelling to several cities in Italy next month and I’m definitely using a backpack. Ive been practising with a packed bag around town (I know, weird) and it seems to be fine. I am a minimalist packer so I think it should be okay.

@3mmah 19 күн бұрын

Wheel bags are not practical (sometimes even impossible) on cobble stone streets or up tall stairs in Europe, when hopping from boats to land (think Venice, parts of Asia), or if you just don't want to have a giant sign on your head that screams TOURIST in high theft areas.

@mhtammi 19 күн бұрын

Just back from my trip. So glad I used a backpack. I watched people struggling on trains and cobblestones. I’ll use a backpack as long as I can. At some point I may have to revert to a wheeled bag. 🙃

Yup! I always pack for dinner, never do I go back to my hotel and change. This trip, no dresses. My liquids bag is always spot on. I decant my liquids into small bottles especially make up. And things like deodorant and shampoos I use solids.

Best way to travel Europe is with a personal item only. I prefer a hybrid wheely backpack - best of both worlds. I refuse to pay more for a carry on bag than I pay for my seat and I won't fly Ryanair as their bags size is ridiculously small. Best learning is to write everything down now so you have a reference and don't make the same mistakes again. Since Covid it's taken me a few trips to refine my packing for 'travelling' as opposed to going to a single location holiday in a resort. Every time I fugure out something new. Watched your packing vid knowing full well you'd way overpacked. So glad you shared this. Hope it helps some one. Look forward to your next packing vid with you newly found knowledge. Happy travels.

@@byBriannaStoneand that's fine but if you're then catching shorter connecting flights (which a lot of us often do) they usually have much tighter restrictions. My last trip, my flights to and from the country I was visiting included a personal item, carryon AND a checked bag. But my domestic flights actually required me to buy a carryon allowance, so I had to pack to that (plus I didn't want to check my bags anyway bcos I was paranoid about losing specialised gear)

So glad you had a great trip! We've all been there with the "over-packing" & that's the only way we learn what we really need. I'm going on a 11 day Italy, Greece & Turkey cruise in 44 days!!! So excited but you're reminding me that I don't need to bring an outfit for every day. Cheers!

@susie9893 10 күн бұрын

If you only took what you really needed (fyi planning out outfits per day is a rookie mistake in learning to travel light - you always need to adjust to weather or just your mood), and converted most of your liquids to solids, I'm sure you'd find you could easily carry a backpack. And yeah, we always think we're going to make it back to our hotel in time to shower and go back out for dinner but almost never happens. Better to understand that in advance and pack items that can easily go from day to night. And pack items that mix and match with accessories to dress them up (and by accessories I mean some *minimal* jewellery, makeup, a scarf). Also, if it works out you do need to be dressed up for something, you can always use that as an excuse to go shopping (seeing as that's something you seem to enjoy), rather than taking 'going out' clothes just in case. Just make sure you have room in your bag for the extra purchases (And don't forget, you can always post stuff home if you find you don't need it and it's weighing you down)

We always refill our water bottles at the taps that are everywhere in Italy. The locals bring big containers and fill them in the streets! I've done backpack only in Italy but I'm 68 and I started finding it too heavy so I switched back to a small 2 wheel roller last year for Portugal. I was very glad, we had to wait a long time in lines at airports and my husband (much stronger than me!) was wishing he had a roller. Since the planes aisles are incredibly narrow these days I'm switching to a small spinner for this year's trip to Europe.

I'm glad you had a good trip. I'm sorry you had to throw out a whole bunch of liquids. I have been actively trying to find solid alternatives for all my stuff: solid sunscreen, solid deodorant, etc. When I traveled with a checked bag, I would buy shampoos, body washes, etc there. Part of the fun of visiting a foreign country is to try out their products. Also, most hotels provide things like shampoo, body wash, sometimes (but rare) conditioner. The only things I am not keen on trying is OTC meds because I know the stuff from home and how it will work for me. Did you have a favourite city/place that you visited?

@susie9893 10 күн бұрын

My last trip I took solid deodorant, solid shampoo, solid moisturiser, solid toothpaste but my sunscreen was liquid - only cos it was 3 in 1 (sunscreen, moisturiser + foundation) which worked well for a winter city trip. Also, pro tip: I've discovered that tsa really doesn't care about liquids

I have a handbag that converts to a backpack so I can wear my backpack on my back and my shoulder bag on my front when necessary. But honestly, for a summer trip in Italy, I would 1 bag travel and take 1 of those pocket daypacks for every day use once over there. I recently did a 7 week trip in winter in Canada and took less stuff than this chic did (although I really don't think I could 1 bag travel an extreme cold climate trip, I was pleased I did the carryon only)

@susie9893 10 күн бұрын

I agree with bunny - even if you usually live in shorts in summer. A) Italians tend to be a bit dressier and B) these items transition much easier from day to night (just take some thin bike shorts to wear underneath so you can walk for miles - bamboo if you can - cooling, moisture-wicking and so comfortable). I don't take jeans anymore when I travel. And rarely pants. Tights are so much lighter weight if you need extra warmth. Can wear under skirts or dresses, no problem

Laptop completely unnecessary if it's a holiday (different if you'll be working, and even then I'd suggest trying to make a tablet work for the time you're away). Personally, I took 2 phones with me on my last trip and that worked perfect (and if I was only going 1 month I'd just take 1). I went over Xmas so I needed to keep up with family around the globe and be able to contact accommodation etc there. I put a local SIM on 1 and an esim on the other (and used it more like a tablet) and was rarely without reception. I was also solo. If I was going with someone else I would only take 1 phone and work it so 1 of us did the esim and the other a local SIM
