    Love these tips! I'll probably watch this video 15 times before packing for our 2-week family vacation: 5 times for my suitcase and 5 times for each of the kids. (Huz packs his own.) Muito obrigada!

    I'm telling you for a city girl like me, this is not too much. I always overpack and have to worry about the weight, and stuff I bring back. And all the time I come back with clothes I brought untouched. So I'm going to follow this for sure when I go to Greece this summer

  • @iri2be
    @iri2be 11 років тому +1

    I've been on 3-4 week trips with just a carry-on, and my packing is really similar to yours with some little differences based on what I'm comfortable with (2 weeks of undies!), and what I find I need less of (2 pairs of shoes - one I wear on the plane, so only one needs to be packed.) You are absolutely right about bringing a big suitcase, and finding you don't really need or want everything you bring. I think it helps to have a trip or two under your belt to really pinpoint your needs.

    I packed a bit more stuff in my medium bag, like a few more tops and bottoms and took simalar shoes to the kind you had and one pare that are the same as yours and my bag came to 20.1 pounds. So i'll have so much room to bring things back. I'm so happy.

    Good tips, but I have trained myself to pack everything I need in a carryon suitcase and personal bag for any length of trip. I had an epiphany after a family vacation to Grand Teton National Park, for which I packed everything but the kitchen sink, for all four family members. IT WAS HORRIBLE, but it taught me a lesson. Never pack things you might need; only pack things you absolutely need. Love your UA-cam channel. Thanks for the fun videos and great travel info.

    I use the scented fabric softener in my compression bags so my clothes arrive with a just washed scent! I put that and all my clothes in compression bags - I can pack more in my bags and they are protected from moisture, dust/dirt, bugs and odors!

    I used to pack a lot of clothing for long trips, but now I just pack 1.2 weeks worth of clothing, as long as I know I can do the laundry :p I need a versatile scarf! and I bought myself some packing cubes for my last trip because of you! was great and saved so much space! :)

    Just got back from 3 weeks in Italy. Found that I needed faster drying items. Next time I will take very fast drying underwear. I would wash out some item at night but often was still damp in the morning and I needed several days at one place to let it completely dry.
    However, love your rules. They really do work!!! Love seeing your new videos! I used all your suggestions before packing!

    I just got back from a 6 week backpacking trip around europe and I bought a compression bag that I was able to roll so the air would squeeze out. It helped with saving space and keeping my bag super organized because my clothes were in one spot. I took a 50 l backpack that was considered carry on size and was able to have enough clothes and space to last me my trip

  • @julienorman
    @julienorman 11 років тому

    Great tip - I just did Britain for 2 weeks in a carry on and still had too much. Next time I'll go with less. Layering is the key. I think you could get by with less if you go with either black or brown toned clothes and shoes. You only need 2 pair of shoes that way and a pair of ballerina slippers for lounging.

    @bathedinridicule 11 років тому

    I'm a huge fan of packing less and buying stuff while I'm there. ;) Also I backpack so carrying less = huge payoff. I travelled to Spain for two months this year and brought two dresses, two sweaters, two pairs of leggings, a jacket, flats and a pair of boots. I don't mind washing clothes almost every day... and it won't kill me to wear the same dress more than once without washing it. ;)

    I'm portuguese as well (just writing this in engllish for the sake of other people reading it) and it doesn't really matter if she's learning portuguese from Brazil. Hell it's even better, because we, here in Portugal, are used to hear and understand it, but not the other way around. So it's normal for foreigns to learn portuguese from Brazil.

    I'm actually going to be 'traveling'/studying abroad for about five months.
    I have a big suit case, I believe it's about 50lbs. Even with this clothes (and future space for items), this is a big case. For me, I'm a bargain shopper, so a tip I'd give is purchase your personal hygiene items online. Ex: I bought a 96 box count of tampons for only $20USD which is cheaper than most places. Put it in a large ziploc- do the same for other things & it helps + you will use these items & have space again!
