    Wow, that's a lot of stuff you're packing. Personally I would leave some of the items behind or bring different things:
    -Instead of bringing 3 bags + a clutch I usually pack a small crossbody bag (should be practical enough for everyday wear but still cute enough for going out) and a tote bag for bigger items.
    - The only utensil I would bring is a plastic spoon. You can always use the swiss army knife (or your teeth ;-)) instead of the knife and your fingers or a tooth pick instead of a fork.
    -The uncuttable cord for securing your backpack is kind of useless because thieves can just cut open your backpack to get to your stuff.
    -Concentrated travel detergent is more space efficient than normal powder.
    -Those wedges take up a lot of space and are probably heavy; low-heeled pumps might be a better choice. I also recommend changing them out for booties (comfortable!! ones, think low block heel) for the colder countries in Europe as you can wear them during the day and for going out.
    - Bring only one pair of sunglasses and one adapter. You can always buy more at your destination if needed
    - Hair straightener and blow driers aren't really necessary. Try finding ways to style your hair without them before leaving for your trip
    This isn't meant as criticism btw. Just some advice for other viewers who get back pain easily :)

    • @JustLIkerapunzel
      @JustLIkerapunzel 6 років тому +3

      Yeah I also think it probably defeated the purpose of the video to mix up what to pack for Europe vs. South Asia all in one go. It kinda just showed a hole bunch of stuff what you might want to pack but did not give an idea of how much you can actually bring with you with just one backpack. If I wanted to just see what I want to bring I look at my entire closet lol the cutting down to the minimum is where it gets more tricky!
      As someone who hasn´t travelle only with carry-on for a long period of time and overstepping seasons, I like to start packing 2 weaks ahead. This way I had the chance to add some stuff that I remembered I would need and just put it on top of my bag to just double check a last time 2 days or so before I leave and again cluster out what has to go for my new picked items to fit in :)

    • @susie9893
      @susie9893 5 років тому +1

      Yeah I probably would only do 1pr short shorts Europe or SE Asia - in my experience it's mostly best to keep those knees covered, a lot of cultures find knees offensive 😉 (not culturally appropriate to show them), better to do a knee length skirt or 2 and a pr cargo pants.
      But yeah too much stuff - clothes, travel documents (seriously we have cloud+email backups to document apps on phone these days-leave the hard copies with family/friends if you REALLY need that),hairdryer etc???,makeup, SHOES et al

    Before I watch the full vid...those who buy Osprey packs, REMEMBER TO REGISTER THEM! You can get them fixed/replaced if they break as long as you're using it for what you've told them (when you register you tick activity boxes that apply to what you will use your bag for, for example hiking, travel etc).

    I found this video super helpful! I watched so many reviews of minimalist packing and bought a Farpoint 40. When it came in the mail I was like OMG! What about my wedge heels for clubs, makeup, purse options? Everyone can't go that light, especially when going to multiple places with diverse interest and wanting to look put together at times. I don't want Instagram pics wearing the same oufit at every monument over the course of a year, not my style. This is the only video where I could see everything I would pack for every occasion get in there. Everyone can't backpack the same, so to everyone saying this is too much stuff whatever, it's a great start. Thanks so much, going to get the Osprey 70 for my 1 year around the world adventure.

    I'm confused. Why do you generalise Europe and South East Asia? There are cities in both places and there are more beach or off the beaten track areas in both places. Travellers pack for the type of holiday they are going on (subject to the weather) not just the country/continent they are going to.

    Hey Nadine I love all your videos! I stick to white /light colours as much as poss when backpacking n SE Asia because of MOSQUITOES!! They are less attracted to light colours! If youve had a mosquito related illness you have to take all the precautions. its a pain washing and wearing thin long sleeves but rather be safe than sorry. Depends whether its wet/dry season and where exactly you are but Ive watched mosquitoes racing for those dark/bright colours!

  • @treefloraken8263
    @treefloraken8263 6 років тому

    I love that you have that cable to secure a bag somewhere. That is super smart!
    I would offer a suggestion. Soap nuts instead of laundry powder. They are safe for sensitive skin, and unlike liquid or powder, cannot be “spilled”. They last a really long time, have a nice, mild scent, and are super easy to use. Also, when they’re no good any more, they are natural compostable, and can just be tossed in a garden or in with any compostable material, and are not harmful to animals. Or just throw them away. I use them for all my laundry and I love them!

Most churches arent super strict, but it will happen that you walk into a beautiful church and you are picked to the side and asked to cover up or leave, at least in my experience.

    Super thorough thank you! I think it's probably harder to pack for Europe/America than developing countries since everyone is so fashion conscious and you don't wanna look like a slob whereas in Asia looking like a slob is the backpackers thing! Thanks so much xx

      It´s so easy to blend in with clothing in the modern parts of Europe, a normal t-shirt and any pair of shorts are what most wear in the summer. Focus on minimizing your packing and less about how you look

    • @sarabea4817
      @sarabea4817 8 років тому

      I mean I'm from Europe, I know how people dress. I'm just saying I think it's a lot easier to pack minimally in Asia/Central America backpacking trips cos you are roughing it more

    Way too much stuff. I started travelling in 1985. 100 plus countries, always go carry on only. Current bag is a 25L, weight of everything I carry is 7kg. Merino wool. 4 shirts, 5 underwear, 4 socks, fleece jacket, hat, sunglasses. 1 pair of long pants, short pants, gym shorts, cell phone, battery, toiletries. I also have an osprey day bag, that weighs a few oz, that I use on location, or for overflow. One pair of gym shoes, flip flops. That's all you need! (Currently in Helsinki, heading to Estonia.)
    Traveling light is the way to go.

  • @casewhite5048

    I also bring really old clothes when traveling long distance that way I just throw them away less to carry back. But sometimes I still come back with more from shopping

  • @jstfd
    @jstfd 8 років тому

    Dang, that's impressive how the backpack doesn't look like those huge long backpacks I see people use but it can hold all the things you went over. The price is a little over my budget for my 2-week trip in the Philippines but I'm really considering it because it seems like it's worth it.

    I didn't know video like this existed. Your video gave me a good idea what and how I want to pack for my Europe trip.'However, I still don't know how much and how to carry my money, I guess Credit Cards will be my best bet. Thank a million and God Bless.

    please make a video on how to keep your skin clear during long flights? cause everytime i go on an airplane (especially ones that are like 15 hours long), my skin breaks out a lot... and i wanna wear makeup to cover it but i feel like it might just make my skin worse ??

    • @daniellengarcia
      @daniellengarcia 8 років тому +1

      The air on flights can be extremely drying to the skin, moisturizing is great, as is getting rest and drinking lots of water.

      Maybelle L I highly recommend the Glamglow thirsty mud mask. It's steep in price ($70), but it does wonders for maintaining the skin. It was created for air travel (you wear it on the plane). You could also use it as a moisturiser, which helps justify the price.

      I travel 15 to 19 hours sometimes 26 hours total in planes; Try 100% pure cosmetics ; Drink lots of dandelion or turmeric with ginger tea plus lots of water; no alcohol please while inside the plane; i bring fresh herbs and small fruits and nuts (homegrown or organic) with me to munch on and I spray rosewater/hydrating tonic on my skin every 2-4 hrs during flight; I pack very light 5 to 7 kilos or 10-12 pounds only -carry on pack and I have a vest from ScottEvest that has so many hidden pockets but lightweight; I usually travel anywhere from 5-9 weeks..I have been traveling for 41 years all of Asia, the Baltics, Middle East and Europe; Latin America and the USA; Your skin is the biggest organ - do not put chemicals on it which are found in many commercialized products; Try 100%Pure products - and your skin will thank you and feel and look fantastic! JR, Texas ps the video presented is too much too heavy and not
      necessary for travel. One bag 7 kilos tops!

    My husband and I are going on a trip to Europe so this video is helpful. also got the Osprey but only the 40L, we were gonna get the 55, but we don't want to check in our bags. Some people said it's ok as a carry on some said no? I'm just wondering if you've ever carry it with you or checked it in.

  • @sallys4474
    @sallys4474 8 років тому +27

    Yikes, that's a lot of stuff. I didn't carry most of that when I backpacked for 4 months in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. I wore one pair of pretty flipflops everywhere, I didn't need 1/2 of that clothing. There were women who came into hostels who had been backpacking for 2 weeks and were carrying outrageously humongous backpacks filled with junk. I'm going to India for 4 months and will carry an absolute minimum of stuff. Don't carry jewelry, shoes, endless clothing changes unless you're staying in an all-inclusive fancy hotel room. LESS is always better.
