    Impressive to get that much into your minimal luggage :o I use the same luggage. It looks pretty heavy to me!
    Tbh I only pack for a week and then launder. For a week I need 7 outfits, maybe a dress for evening outings, that's maybe 6-7 items (mix/match tops/bottoms, eg 4 tops, 2 bottoms plus a dress...) and apart from a walking shoe I'd need an alternative, as using the same shoes daily is far worse to me than re-wearing an item of clothing once or twice. I also need very few toiletries/cosmetics - comb, toothbrush, deodorant, lip balm, a hair tie, some headache tablets...
    As you say, the sheet and hotel cleaning is your thing, but seems ridiculous to any European, I would think! Heyho, we are all different, I need to have some knitting with me for my sanity ;) I tend not to take "just in case" items, as I don't go to places where I couldn't buy what I need IF I even really needed it... and if I'm hungry or thirsty I will buy real food as I go, too. I guess we Europeans don't really snack like north Americans, it's just 3 meals a day for us!

      @@Woeschhuesli my bag was pretty heavy with everything inside. Thats a great idea to launder your clothes. The disposable sheets and the way I clean the hotel rooms I’m sure sound ridiculous to anyone lol. I love to keeps snacks on hand just in case I don’t have access to food. I don’t eat it all and I share with my family. But you’re right I’ve been reading a book that talks about how Europeans don’t snack and I love that! Thanks so much for watching! 💕

    Disposable sheets is bonkers. Hotels in the UK boul wash theur sheets and towels- you are much nore likely to encounter germs on the tube, handles,seatbelts, lift buttons etc.

      You know what before this Kanken bag I used to use a bigger backpack and that hurt my back. Since using this bag I haven’t had that issue. Maybe bc there’s less stuff in it? I don’t know. I also weight lift a lot so maybe that helps? Sorry if that wasn’t helpful lol

    Hahaha. I thought I was the only one who took disinfectant to places where I am staying. In hostels, it is a bit more complicated since so many people come and go in and out of showers but if I stay in a hotel or so, I disinfect everything properly with some good hospital wipes that I got from work in a plastic bag. The disposable sheets seem like a bit too much and I find it a pity that more garbage is produced when you are going to the UK but it is your personal preference.
    Like a comment I read somewhere, I do not take clothes for more than a week, I normally do not even take clothes for more than 3 days. It does get boring and repetitive but as long as they are clean, I do not care. The underwear and socks dry quickly. Since I normally wear oversized shirts, I can give them a couple of uses. If it is warm, I can wear a dress or tank top several times before washing them. When I was in a hostel in Bristol I asked the girls in my room if they wanted to do our laundry together, since it was so damn expensive (8 GBP for washing and drying). We put all our clothing together and had a full load.
    All my toiletries fit in a 1 L bag. Shampoo-soap bar goes separate. Normally do not use make-up so one less burden.
    Great video. Thanks for sharing! :)

      Can never be too clean lol Sounds like you have a great travel system (packing and laundry). What kind of shampoo bar do you use? Thanks so much for watching 😊💕

      @@TheHandbagConnoisseur When I first moved to Germany I was desperate for a job so I went to a hotel to clean. The lady that had been there for a while was teaching me how to do it. Once she started in the bathroom she said "people like nice smells, so I use these leftover bottles of shampoo". No disinfectant. It disgusted me so much I never went back. Like I am gonna trust any other hotel. No, no.
      Obviously, not everyone is gonna be like that but you never know.
      I use Duschbrocken, a German brand. I am sure there are great ones where you live. It is a matter of trying and once you find it, that's it, you won't need more. I also like Lush products. I have heard Ethique is also a great brand.
      Toothpaste powder is cool to travel too.
      I don't remember when you said you were going to the UK, maybe you are back already, but check out The Natural Deodorant Co. The other deodorant I was using was giving up on me and ended up finding that one by chance. I am never using anything else again and it last soooo long because you do not need much. I can even re-wear shirts now :)

    You definitely know how to pack . It's very smart to do a capsule wardrobe for trips. We do take meds. We both have prescription ones. I take our daily does containers. Also I take tylenol, benadryl ( I have a synthetic red dyes allergy. I really need to get an eppipen. ), and antacids. Aleve and immodium would be great, too. We always take snacks. I would love to go to the UK! There is so much we want to see. Have a wonderful trip!❤
