    Great video! I love how organized and prepared you are for your travels. The scrunchies with little pockets are such a clever idea for keeping small essentials like candy and ChapStick easily accessible. Your hiking boots with high ankle support seem perfect for your outdoor adventures, and the shoe bags for storing your shoes are a smart addition to keeping everything clean and organized. Overall, you've thought of everything and your attention to detail is impressive. Have an amazing trip!

    That size Carryon Definitely wouldn’t work for flights around Europe.Also curious how much it weighs

    • @HelenandTimTravel
      @HelenandTimTravel  Рік тому +1

      We will find out and report back! Our bags are under 32 pounds (14 kg) Definitely a learning process for year 1. Maybe wouldn’t work for something like Ryan Air. We are sticking to mostly major carriers since we are using our points and miles. Also, we plan to take trains through Europe especially when we will be in Germany and Switzerland this summer 🙌🏽

      you're right, Trixie. outside Europe, i have also frequently come across harsh restrictions for carry on , such as 5 to 7 kilos... especially with the lowest cost flight providers. but, we all have different experiences, so i wish them luck :)

      @lilithcarter Рік тому +3

      @@walkietalkietraveller2932 A good solution to that problem is travelling by land, Europe has a fantastic railway system , I think if you are a full time traveler you can spend a little more time and maybe money, so you have a little more comfort, a nicer view and I think a better travelling experience without the hassle of wasting hours in the airport waiting for the flight, being able to bring your own food and drinks is also a plus .
      If you are only travelling for a short term and you have to get back home, and go back to your routine, flying within Europe might make sense as you are sometimes saving time.

    • @HelenandTimTravel
      @HelenandTimTravel  Рік тому +1

      We will definitely be taking train through Europe mostly and renting a car so we have more access to the remote towns and mountains. Agreed on a nicer view and avoiding baggage fees. Bringing food and drink easily is a plus. Sounds like you’re a seasoned traveler. Hope you have some fun adventure planned! ☺️

    Gregory website says Juno height is 20.5" but max personal item height for airlines is 18". Is it frameless?

    • @HelenandTimTravel
      @HelenandTimTravel  Рік тому +1

      It is a framed bag. We haven’t had anyone mention anything to us this far about it. Seems to fit under the airplane fine. We have taken it on at least a dozen flights, so far so good. Will report back if any airlines mentions anything ☺️

    Roller luggage? Had to give up rollers once you start traveling beyond the typical tourist areas.

    • @HelenandTimTravel
      @HelenandTimTravel  10 місяців тому +1

      We are enjoying our roller bags 6-months into our full-time journey. We have also traveled just with backpacking bags, and enjoy that mode of travel too. We don’t film every place we go and often travel to not typical touristed areas too. No right or wrong way to do it ☺️ do whatever works best for you!
