I love hearing success stories like yours!! I always struggle with packing like a minimalist, but I'm getting better! Carrying your wardrobe in a backpack like you did must have felt so freeing! Especially when others are struggling to lug their big suitcases around.

It sounds like you have a lot you can teach me! I am super impressed that you're not only carry-on only, but pack under the seat. Thank you for the tips and inspiration as well. Have a great trip!✈️

I love bundle packing too! I used to love Cosmo magazine back in the day, ha ha. I think I first saw bundle packing on an old episode of the Oprah show. Thanks so much for watching and happy travels!

Packing 3 bathing suits for a beach vacation is smart! I hate putting on a wet suit, lol. Thanks for sharing. And I love packing cubes too!

Bundle packing is the best! You are a total travel rockstar, doing 30 days in a carry-on. I need to challenge myself to build up to a month with just one carry-on. Thanks for the inspiration!

Bundle packing works well for a cruise or staying in one or two hotels. If you’re moving around more use packing cubes or kon marie folding.

I personally notice less wrinkles when I use the bundle method, but I know a lot of people swear by rolling their garments. I guess whatever works for us and makes us happy is totally fine. Have a great day!

Me too! Thanks so much for watching. 😃

Emily, thank you so much for the very kind words and I appreciate. you subscribing!!! I love watching packing videos too! It's part of the fun getting ready for a trip. If you're traveling soon, have a blast! 😀

I'm so sorry you're dealing with arthritis too. It's such an awful disease. Strengthening your muscles will definitely help you, not only to ease the pain, but also to increase your flexibility and mobility. I've made great progress in just a few months. Most of what I have learned is from Alyssa Kuhn who has the KZfaq channel @ArthritisAdventures. She has tons of videos for all kinds of arthritis, including knees and hips. I've learned more from her than from my doctors and physical therapists. Good luck and I'm wishing you healing and lots of muscle strengthening!

Awwww thank you! He's my little helper, ha ha. 😀

@@ThriveAfter55 Mine is a beagle and he is never that calm, especially when he sees the suitcase.

@@aprilrichards8343 I'll bet your beagle is cute as can be. Of course he's not calm when he sees a suitcase - it's a big toy, ha ha!🤣

For a month long trip definitely pick neutral pieces that will all coordinate with each other. If packing in a carry-on with the 54321 method, I'd plan on doing laundry once a week. Here's what I'd do: 5 tops (all breathable like athletic fabric or Merino wool, 2 long sleeve, 2 short sleeve for warmer days or layering, and 1 light sweater or hoodie). 4 bottoms (maybe 1 pair of jeans, a pair of leggings, and 2 pair of joggers or athletic-type pants like hiking pants). 3 outerwear pieces (a medium weight coat, a warm coat, and a waterproof jacket). 2 shoes - comfy sneakers and then a sturdy pair of shoes or boots, maybe waterproof or hiking style boots. For the singles, definitely include a hat and gloves, and then things like pajamas, underwear, maybe a small backpack in place of a purse, etc. I hope this helps! It sounds like you have a fun adventure planned. 😀

Thanks - this has also helped me! I will be doing a coastal walk for 1 month in UK. I have tweaked what I had planned to bring (reduced it!) based on your suggestions. The only additional items I will bring are thermal layering pieces (2 vests and 2 thin long sleeved thermal base layers) - these I count as underwear!! Thank you - videos like this really do make a difference👏🤗

To really pack light you have to be okay with wearing bottoms 2-3 times and some tops if they are Merino wool can be worn 2-3x also because they don't hold bacteria & odors

If you choose your pieces wisely (so that the tops go with all the bottoms, etc.) then you can easily travel for a week, possibly 2. Choosing fabrics that are easy care and can be washed out in a sink if you don't have access to laundry facilities. I hope this helps!

This is great advice. Thank you!

I had pajamas on top of the bundle right before I started folding. I brought one pair of undies and socks for each day of the trip and those went in a small packing cube on the other side of the suitcase where I put my extra pair of shoes and cosmetics. This was just a one week trip and I had access to a washing machine. If I was traveling for a longer time frame I'd absolutely have to do laundry on the trip. Most of the pieces I brought are easy-care and can be washed out in a sink. I hope this helps!

I find the bundle method only works if younare going to one destination. But if you are changing lodging daily ornevery couple days, then it is cumbersome as you have to unpack everything to get to one piece. Time consuming.
