You need to do this: London & Dublin in 5 Days
Hey everyone! It's been a minute! My friend Berit and I finally reunited after two years of not seeing each other and decided to explore London and Dublin as an end to my travels and start to hers. We started in London, hitting all the must-see spots like Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and more. We even grabbed some tasty bites at Borough Market and wandered around Camden and Chinatown.
Then, we headed to Dublin where we saw Trinity College, a handful of churches, the Dublin Portal, and Howth Cliffs, not to forget having a blast on a pub crawl. We even squeezed in some partner acrobatics at the college!
This trip was all about reconnecting, making new memories, and just having tons of fun. I hope you enjoy watching our adventures as much as we enjoyed living them! If you liked watching this video, I would appreciate a comment on your favorite part! I respond to all comments:)
See you whenever I make another video!

    For me, i wanted try one bag or 2 bags (travel backpack+duffel for longer trips) because i do not want to go through the hassle of checking in a luggage like eveeyone else. Currently im using the Evergoods CTB26, which is very similar to the AER Travel Pack 3 Small and its lighter by 200 grams and i prefer its functionality. For duffel im using the Bellroy Venture Duffel 40L and it only weighs 620 grams. For 4 days trip, ill just use the CTB26 , AER Day Sling 3 X-Pac and a packable tote from Nomatic or Peak Design for just in case. I have learnt to travel light from watching videos like yours and from my own travel experience. At the end of the day, i want to enjoy my travels and not get stressed out over unnecessary things. Travel light and smart my friends 👍

The thing I didn't realize before getting into one bag travel is that its not about fitting everything you need into a single bag, but meeting carry-on requirements which are ever-decreasing around the world haha. Thats when the weight issue gets to be a bit frustrating considering my bag + mac book weigh precisely 3.86kg according to chat GPT! Enjoy your light travels!

    My advise for tops in Asia is to bring: 1) 3-4 t-shirts and 2 polos made of a variation of different materials such as 100% merino wool, cotton, mixed cotton with polyester, and pure polyester. The problem with cotton is that it is difficult to iron and in Asia, with high humidity %, it takes ages to dry. That variation of materials gives you the flexibility to play with according to circumstances, temperature, humidity and laundry/drying time. 2) Plus a mixed cotton zip-up jacket or sweatshirt with 2 zipped pockets outside (I hate pickpockets’ paranoia) and two pockets inside, plus a light raincoat. 3) The same applies to short or long pants, mixed materials except for my Levi’s 501 🥰 4) For elegant shirts, I normally bring a dark blue merino wool long sleeves from Massimo Dutti just in case a situation calls for it. I bring a water spray to remove wrinkles and use vodka instead to remove smells when no time for laundry

    • @alfonsohshk8998
      @alfonsohshk8998 7 місяців тому

      I forgot, Lacoste, Hackett and Ralph Lauren polos made of 100% cotton are elegant and very posh, but terrible to iron. Better Timberland 100% cotton or Brooks Brothers Supima 100% cotton or no logo mixed cotton-linen from Massimo Dutti. I just hang them and no need to iron them.

Just hang your shirts and apply the spray over the clothing wrinkles and wait cpl of hours till dry. For the merino wool shirt, important is that it is made of merino wool (less wrinkles, odour resistant as it is antibacterial, less need for washing) and dark colour, hence ideal for travelling.

    Man, I appreciate you sharing the thought process of trying to get the bag down under 7kg! A lot of explanations miss what a game this is. Move things around to meet the goals of the moment. Heavy stuff goes into pockets or the personal items during check-in, out of the pockets and back into bags for security, back into pockets for the gate, and finally move them to the spots you need them to be for the flight. You touched on it briefly, but you have options: the main bag, pockets, wearing some items, and your sling. I keep a 2L sling and a packable backpack as my options. I use a 38L North Face Phantom ski pack; the main feature is that the top-pocket clips off, becoming my official personal item, and the main bag fits into typical carry-on dimensions. The sling and top-pocket can fit in the packable backpack if I get hassled. But the whole solutions is just really comfortable to carry when it's all put together.

    Okay. I get traveling with less and doing laundry more frequently. However I do not agree with wearing the same shirt over and over without washing it in hot humid weather. I just KNOW people can smell you from across the room. And no, I don't believe people who claim "they don't stink because they wear merino wool" or "use natural deodorant". If you're not missing the gene that's responsible for making sweat smelly, then you stink. And that gene "mutation" is only common across East Asia. So...😅 you're probably one of those stinky backpacking tourists.

    I always pack one bag only. Wear your jacket or pullover and heavy shoes at the airport. You can always wash undies in the shower with you at the hotel and throw them over the railing. Pack dr bronners soap. Does body and laundry (and hair if you’re a man).

    One bag travel is a must for 2-3 days, maybe 4. Also depends if I’ll have access to laundry. Osprey 32L Nebula is my #1 at the moment. Also i just discovered blister hydrocolloid patches!!! GAME CHANGER and so small, can fit anywhere.

    ¿The AER travel backpack you use it’s the size of flight personal item? Thanks!

      In all airlines I have been on so-far with this bag it fits under the seat no problem, but I can't say all airlines will accept it since I haven't been traveling with this bag long enough. Here are the dimensions: Length: 19" (48 cm) Width: 13" (33 cm) Depth: 7.5" (19 cm) My guess is that some budget airlines wont accept this bag as a personal item and it will count as a carry on bag instead. The size requirement they have listed is: 40x20x25cm. Good luck with your bag search, and if you choose this as your one bag its great!

    I always travel with a single bag. The real uneasiness for most folks to try travelling with a single bag is due to their old mindset that a wheeled luggage must go along for long distance travel so that they could bring everything along. In most cases some of the stuffs inside the heavy check-in luggage is redundant. So, pack light and get that nomadic vibes when you go travelling places to places just like I always do. Thanks Bein Kian for advocating this form of one bag travel.

    Excellent packing for a You Tuber, who have to bring copious technology wherever they go (what? No drone? No circle light?) For those of us who travel to beautiful places just to enjoy them, the only tech you need is a phone. Less tech then means you don’t need a heavy, expensive backpack. Your high school Jansport is more than enough. No problem getting to less than 12 pounds total, at a fraction of the cost. Can’t do You Tube, though.

      Hey Terry, thanks for your comment. Yes, I couldn't agree more! I have a good friend who recently did 3 months in eastern Europe with a 10lbs of gear and a Jansport bag. I would say I lie somewhere in between the two. I am content with a phone, GoPro and mic for my equipment since I don't care for high quality production, more-so for raw & real moments and whatever else I decide to add later. (Like instead of drone I use google earth studio + map animations to help tell a story). I bet at some point ill do a trip with no computer or extra equipment.

    nice video! I typically travel with a backpack and a tote bag that I slide under the seat on the plane, but I'm currently tweaking my packing to truly fit into one bag. My biggest pain points aren't exactly my fears, but a few luxury items that I know I'm being stubborn on. Every time I take something away from my pack, my brain immediately goes to "oh! now I have room for xyz random item." Still training the brain. I now travel with a Dakine Split Adventure 28L that I added a light hip belt to. It's pretty lightweight and since I'm petite, it doesn't look as bulky on me as some other bags, but there was a learning curve on how to properly pack it. Also fits most budget airlines in the US as a personal item, though I haven't tested it out. Had I known about Aer and Evergoods before then, I might have tried one of those bags. I think they're both well-constructed and designed, but they are both a bit heavier than my dakine.

      I hadn't heard about your bag before, it looks nice! And I totally understand that, its easy to justify extra when you have the space. The tote/bag combo is nice too, but even just having the option to put the tote into your bag is my ideal scenario like what I did with my little 8L shoulder bag. Even then, I ended up with just my phone, airpods, kindle, and charger at my seat and everything else in overhead bin for the plane. Leg Room!! Agreed about the pure bag weight. My bag already weighs nearly 4 lbs empty. I bet your bag is closer to 2 or 3 haha. Thank you for the kind comment:)
