    Lost me with the tech stuff cause I am a 90yr old stuck in a 37yr old body, BUT that was so entertaining! Y'all are just too cute to watch and I am SO impressed that all that fit in your bags and only like 25-30lbs!! Love Q&As!

    • @DjusLife
      @DjusLife  3 роки тому +1

      Hahaha yeah the tech stuff can be a whole video of its own and to be honest we get confused sometimes about it too but since we make videos and take photos were a bit more in that world than others. Glad it was at least entertaining for that part!
      So crazy how much we fit in there (Yevs is more like 35-40lbs... 😬) We loved doing the Q&A segment hope to do more of that type segment in the future. It was very nice to engage directly with people and share more about us in the process.

    It's really amazing how much you can fit in such little space by packing smart. We're also amazed that those shoes lasted 8 months before starting to fail. Got to get ourselves some Adidas I guess!
    We especially love the idea of having two, 5tb external hard drives with one mirroring the other. We couldn't imagine losing TBs worth of travel footage, and we feel quite lucky to have not lost any so far.

    • @DjusLife
      @DjusLife  3 роки тому

      Yes those shoes were amazing were going to try to find similar ones for when we go back out but yeah we're also very fortunate to not have lost our footage due to bad hard drive either. The mirror drives just make more sense going forward I think.

    Guys, Adam and I are so impressed with those little bags! This is genius 👏 we the rolling clothes type of people !
    I definitely think traveling light is so important cause it helps you to be flexible especially from Country to country.
    Wow those no liquid shampoo and conditioners are genius 😀 this is awesome!
    This was great to watch especially for when we leave to go overseas!
    Thanks for sharing these great tips 😀

    Wow Amy...the stuff sack is amazing!! You guys are definitely pros at packing! We always overpack 🙈 really enjoyed how comprehensive this video is! Especially when it came to all the tech stuff.
    Love jumpsuits as well 😊 and how versatile is your scarf...amazing!
    Awesome packing time lapse at the end 💯

    • @DjusLife

      I used to over pack too and come home and see all the things I never wore. Carrying everything definitely made us want to downsize and we love the simplicity it has brought our life. So glad the tech part was helpful. It was long but we didnt want to cut any of the info out.

    Guys we are so impressed with how light you travel! After 9 months of travelling we are planning to shrink our bags down too now. Love the stuff sack idea!

    I’ve never been a light packer but any chances of me packing light went out the window after my daughter was born. We bring an extra luggage for just her stuff! 😂 It’s so impressive how you squeezed all your belongings into that one tiny bag! I like rolling my clothes as well but I’ve never thought about rolling my bras. The one thing I’m good about is limiting how many pairs of shoes I bring. I also bring just one pair of sneakers and sandals or flip flops. I usually bring along only one camera as well. This is such useful information if I ever get to travel full time. How strangely satisfying to throw away your worn out travel clothes and shoes!

    • @DjusLife
      @DjusLife  3 роки тому

      It really was satisfying and was very much overdo. I feel like kiddos do come with more stuff then adults sometimes 😂 at least their clothes are smaller - even though they need more replacements. Wonder how we will pack and travel once there are kiddos in the game 🧐☺️

    The bra and hat tips are on point Amy! We are also travelling with a backpack and a carry on, it can be very tricky to decide what to take with you. Packing is NEVER fun. P.S. good job on taking care of your long hair, I just let it go at this point hahah. We are working to put together what we pack in our bags too, this got excited!

    • @DjusLife

      Why thank you! We're always thinking about how to downsize even more to be more flexible, you really don't want to be lugging things around that you aren't using, it's okay for a little but after a while not as fun. Glad you were able to learn something or get some ideas for yourselves :)

    Ben and I plan to travel full time soon and so this video will be VERY HELPFUL to watch again before we hit the road ourselves. Really appreciated seeing what you own and what you bring regarding your camera equipment since we plan on vlogging weekly too. We will update our camera gear probably this summer so this is cool to see. This video was just as helpful and engaging as the ones I've watched from Kara & Nate and Flying the Nest. Well done! Will likely DM you with more questions later this year if you're willing to help answer some of our miscellaneous packing and gear questions! Thanks for the great content you two :) You guys are awesome!

    That stuff pack is an interesting option. We use packing cubes and we've been quite happy with that system.
    I got laser eye surgery a couple of years ago and it gives you a lot more freedom not needing to worry about prescription glasses.

    • @DjusLife
      @DjusLife  3 роки тому +1

      Yessssss that would give a lot of room not to pack contacts and glasses and prescription sunglasses. Agree with you that packing cubes are great especially if you pack in a suitcase. You are so brave getting laser eye surgery 👍🏼🥳

      @@DjusLife We use a backpack for carry on travel (just passed the one year mark for this trip!) I'll have to keep the stuff pack in mind once the packing cubes wear out.
      I had a few friends that did laser eye surgery before me, so I think it helped knowing people that had been through the process.

      @DjusLife  3 роки тому +1

    Guys, I saw the time and was like... woah. But I just sat here watching the whole thing because I was so amazed by how much you fit in those bags and what you take with you. I don't know if I could do it 🤦‍♀️ My husband definitely couldn't if we went anywhere hot he'd need like 5 bottles of sunscreen 🤣

    • @DjusLife
      @DjusLife  3 роки тому +1

      It's surprising even to us sometimes how much you really need when traveling full time, but maybe that's partly due to our preferences and behaviors. The thing about sun screen you can always buy one locally and keep replenishing as it runs out. Yes we know it was long but hopefully you enjoyed watching how we pack and reasons behind it, I know we watched through a bunch as we were traveling before and planning this trip 😬 thanks for watching it all the way through!

Is that in downtown Boston? It's GORgeous!
