In a hostel, a girl told me “whatever you use in a normal day you pack half”. It was true. Don’t take with you things that fit in the “what if” category

Smart chica! The what if category slowly turns into an easy no category.

Haha, someone who’s just like me when it comes to packing! I don't need to make such a thorough list nowadays, but I still write down unusual items I may need to bring lest I forget them. I also plan well in advance (weeks!!) if I'm bringing a carry-on and try different packing configurations. I, too, definitely need sleeping socks hehe. Added stress factor - I'm tall and plus size so everything takes up tons of space.:) I love your glasses so so much btw! Hope you're having fun this side of the big old pond :)

Silk, I wear silk shirts and t-shirts coz it makes packing so easy, accompanied by a thin wool poncho as a cover-up since it looks so classic to both jeans and a black dress and on the beach. Thanks this was so much fun to watch! 💖💖💖

Thanks for the kind feedback! How do you find silk for sweating, or wrinkles?

@_dewinther 2 жыл бұрын

It is a breathable material since it is pure silk. You can hang it in a hot shower (steam) to remove wrinkles. It is super easy to wash, but be careful not to twist the material. 😊 when you pack, make sure to roll with other chlotes in between, the bigger roll, the better, without zippers and such (not to hurt the fabric) and so You dont force in wrinkles. You can also use plastic or tissue paper in between (I use other silk clothes) to keep the fabric unwrinkled. Dont throw silk in a hamper when dirty, hang it. It is often this that destroys silk, tangeled and twisted silk in the bottom of a dirty chlotes hamper for 2 weeks, will give silk unpresidented wrinkles 😅 Thanks!

I am similar about the packing, always take a long consideration. Tips: most of the hotels give you at least soap so you don't have to pack showergel and sampoo you can buy it in europe same with the lanundry detargent. Put the socks into the shoe to save more space.

@yourtravelfriendanna Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tips! I prefer to carry my own soaps as I find my skin can react to changing soaps when I stay in certain accommodations for such a short period of time. I have found more laundry mats to have detergent for sale too, this is a great option as well.

i know this sounds crazy. honestly i am fully aware but i start making lists and seeing what will work and what i need to find and maybe buy months in advance if i’m aware of a trip coming up. i have a trip to Europe coming in September and i started this month just cultivating what i could possibly need and packing my toiletries that i won’t be using before then and just trying to prepare because i panic and my adhd brain won’t let me focus on other things. so i fully understand.

Definitely remove more stuff. You can always buy anything you really really need. Three sweaters? No way! Two mascaras? Why? Two big woolly socks? No, you only wear them in bed. Nothing worse than dragging around stuff that you end up not using. I’m in Calgary too in packing paralysis. I’ve had a pile out for over a week as I’m rusty from not traveling during the pandemic. Also, two climates. I’m going to the hot south of France then to cold rainy Scotland. You’re not alone in your anxiety! Great video! Keeping it real. So many packing videos make it look like it’s so simple, but they’re not showing the agony behind all that smooth organization they film. Happy travels. Would love to see your spreadsheet packing list. Would also like to know if that backpack ends up fitting under the seat as it looks big for a “personal item”.

@yourtravelfriendanna 2 жыл бұрын

Totally agree. Here’s how it has worked out, I use both mascaras everyday. I like having one that’s waterproof. I use both pairs of wool socks. About a pair ever 3-5 nights before I do laundry, and have worn all sweaters. Two bathing suits ended up being too much though
