    I lost a wheel from my bag, on cobblestones, in the Czech Republic. I had to buy a new bag in Prague, which I hadn’t planned for in my budget. Now I travel light.

    Liked your video, you are on the spot with the capsule wardrobe is the only way to travel, I have traveled to many countries and it works and the laundry situation is the same, you take your plastic travel hangers which take minimum space, do your laundry on those days that you know you are going to stay over for more than one night and you will always have clean laundry. I washed my underwear daily in the evening when I took my shower and in the morning it was dried, so 5 pairs is more than enough and two pairs of socks the same. However, not everyone can use a backpack, those that are elder or have problems with their back would not be able to handle the weight of a backpack, so a personal bag which is soft and pliable with a sleeve that would allow you to slide it through the handle of your carryon, is going to be the best option. Toiletries, medication, jewelry and electronics need to be carried on your personal item bag and if you do this, no one would have a problem with missing items. Good travels!❤❤❤

    A 2 1/2 gallon Ziplock bag is good to do laundry in. A hair dryer is good to do a final drying of clothes

    Would you mind doublechecking the link to the crossbody purse? This one is not working. Do you have the links to the other items like the trench coat? It possibly has been discontinued but could you link something similar to it? I really love it!! Also, I am going to Italy next April and would love a video of your travels there and what to wear in the spring. This wardrobe looks like it might work for the spring. I loved your video and just subscribed. It would be nice to see the outfits on you. ❤

    Australian airlines have size (dimensions) as well as weight restrictions. Hefty charges should you exceed weight limit. If bag too big- not coming as carry on. It will be checked and you will pay $$$$ for the “crime”. Triple check your bags and airline requirements.

Now I bring a 28 liter backpack and a small crossbody bag that fits a kindle, passport and a waterbottle. And I pack 4 outfits that I can mitch and match, flip flops and sandels. I don't mind washing a couple of outfits during my vacation. My backpack only weighs 4kg and no check ins.
