How I Pack To Travel The World With Carry On Only ✈️ 

Ohh how amazing! It’s a great backpack, isn’t it! That’s great you managed to get your wife to use carry on. I hope you both had a great trip! 😃

Ah love it! It really is a life changer, isn’t it! 😍✈️

Did you also shop souvenirs/things to bring back?

@mina0398 Occasionally, but I’ll only buy something if I absolutely love it and can see myself using it when I’m back home/or whilst travelling. I’ve definitely made the mistake of buying small souvenirs, items, etc and then never looking at them again as soon as I get home 😅. So I try to be very deliberate, and if I do buy something it’ll often be light/small. But if I know I’m going to an area where there will be interesting things and potentially more to buy then I’ll under pack purposefully so that I can buy a few things ☺️

Yay so glad! ☺️

Woo!! Thank you ☺️

Aww thank you so so much!! You’re so sweet 🥹🥰

Thank you for watching!! ☺️ yes, it’s so easy to pack carry on. I love it 😍

Thank you so much 🥰. I’m so happy to hear this. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment ❤️

Oh yay! I’m excited for you to experience it for yourself 😍. And thank you for your lovely comment 🥰

Oh that’s awesome! It really makes travelling so much easier. Totally understand what you mean by bringing back souvenirs. It is nice to sometimes have the extra space to buy some items, and get gifts for family and friends. It just really depends on the type of trip you do! It’s nice to know you have the option to just bring carry on though. Once you realise you can travel relatively “light”, it really opens up a lot of travel doors haha. Enjoy your next travel adventure 😉

How good are packing cubes 😍. Yay! Defintely try out the flat bags, it makes a difference when space is limited 😊

I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the video! I’d say my main tips are to try and pack light clothing items that can be easily layered. That way you get the option to pack a few more pieces and if you are going between climates then you can layer your clothing to keep you warm. Also, if you have a rough idea of where you might be going (whilst you’re still at home) then you can plan quite effectively the types of clothing you’ll want to wear and bring. To keep things light, I’ll bring jackets that are light weight but offer a lot of warmth such as the raincoat I packed in the video. As it’s close to my body, it adds a lot of warmth without the bulk. As for things like extra shoes, or basics like toiletries, I purposely under pack because it’s so easy to stop at a convenience / grocery store in your destination country to stock up on toothpaste, deodorant, soaps, etc. Then I sometimes like to buy a pair of cheap shoes that I’ll use solely on my trip that can be thrown out during or before flying home. This is to prevent me from ruining good pairs that might not withstand my destination or if I know that destination will need something highly specific. Then as for other small tips- Reddit is a life saver! I like to google my destination and see what others have brought/packed/described about the place to help me understand my different locations. At the end of the day, most things can be bought, and/or sent back home if you’re really in a pinch. And my most important rule of thumb- if I haven’t worn the item at home in the last few weeks (weather dependent) then it’s likely I won’t wear it whilst I’m overseas. So bring the items you love, to ensure you’ll actually use and enjoy using them! Lastly, for long term travel, pack clothing that will get you through about 1 week. If you’ve got one week covered, then you’ve got 4,5,6 weeks covered. Get to a washing machine and you’ve got fresh clothes! Oh and actually lastly (haha), I pack multi use charges and tech equipment. Try to limit cables and tech stuff and possibly look at purchasing multi connection devices so you’re carry 2-3 electronic things, rather than 4-6 (ie cables). I hope that helps!! I have a video coming soon on more travel tips and hacks ☺️☺️

I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to comment 🥰❤️

You’re so sweet 🥹 thank you for your kind words!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. More to come!! 🥰❤️

Thank you so much lovely 🥰 yes absolutely! That video is on my list and will be something I get to in the very near future ❤️

Thank you ☺️. Yes, try to find the foldable ones. They’re so handy! I’m thinking South Korea could be my next destination. It looks so interesting and full of culture. And sooooo many foods to try 🤤

🥰🥰🥰

Thanks for watching 🥰❤️

Yes try it!! You won’t regret it ;) ❤️

What brand are the bags?

@@amtopm9385 Funny enough these are both from IKEA! Great material, great design and they were super affordable 😊

​​​@@libbyyazbekHi Libby the backpack and the weekend bag is part of the VÄRLDENS series. That is IKEA's travel series, they even have a 30L carry on luggage as well 😊

Oh amazing! I didn’t know this. Thank you for sharing the name of the series. I love their bags. Honestly some of the best I’ve used. A little travel hack 😎

Oh oops!! I must have accidentally cut that out in my editing and not realised 😹. It goes into my ‘main’ carry on bag. I just squish it in really close to my other packing cubes. It works well because it’s small and the packing cubes can fit against each other. Thanks for pointing that out 😁

Hahah love it. I swear men can get away with a tiny little bag every single time! Less clothes, less toiletries, less everything 😅. Thank you for taking the time to comment ☺️

@@libbyyazbek No make up tools, no perfume, we would need one shampoo 🧴 for everything 😇. Men are simple and somewhat minimalist. But unfortunately most of them ( including me in the past ) are messy 😵‍💫 but it takes time to learn to organize and to be more efficient. That’s why i came here to learn from you guys 🍀😊. The space saved from all that can be use for cameras and lenses 📸. Thank you for putting your effort into making this video. It’s very professionally done. From the script to the filming although it probably been made by a phone using cinematic mode 🤔. Despite that, footage comes out very neatly, it’s a pleasant experience to watch. I support you with a sub and i hope your channel will grow more ( i know it will ) in the future. I’m writing too much again, but anyway, good day 👍

Haha well that makes a lot of sense then! I guess we can learn from you too, and take a different type of inspiration from you when packing 😇 Aw you’re so kind! Thank you soooo much. Your support means the world to me. I’m early into this journey, and still figuring out how to film and do alllllll the things. Thanks for being here with me ☺️

Yes 100% agree! It is very easy to pack for summer weather. I’ll do another video in the future when packing for “winter” / cooler weather. It’s definitely still doable 😉😊

Hey lovely! Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰. Unfortunately I don’t think the foldable backpack is still in stock - it was originally from H&M and it was called “Water Repellent Backpack”. I’ve linked a similar one in the description for you to check out. It’s not exactly the same, but similar ☺️. Also, the small green passport pouch was actually given to me on a Qantas flight, I don’t think those ones can be purchased. But any small structured pouch or passport holder will do the trick for your passport! I hope that helps a tiny bit. Have an amazing time on your trip to Europe! Safe travels 😍🌞

Thank you so much for replying. I just really liked how the pouch looked so I wanted to ask. 😊

You’re welcome ☺️

Oh that’s a great idea! I will check those out 🥰. Thank you!!

Hey lovely! It really depends on my destination. Places like Europe, then I will do a bit of shopping because I will have access to so much more than in my home country. In those instances I really try to pack very light/under pack slightly so I have room to buy and add things. My little hack is to bring a tote bag which I had in the video. Tote bags are amazing because they can be almost 45L of volume, and are really inconspicuous when packed. The fit under an airline seat and no one seems to question them as they just look like a normal “carry bag”. So you could always takes a foldable tote bag in your main bag in case you do want to buy stuff in your travels 😇

Oo love this idea! A game of Tetris with the shoes always 😅. Thank you for taking the time to comment 🥰

Hi lovely! The brand is ‘Aquis’. It’s actually a hair towel, but I’ve found it to be incredibly useful in other scenarios if I need a towel 😊

@@libbyyazbek Yes! Looks great, thanks for sharing and taking the time to reply. Cheers!

You’re so welcome 🥰

No not yet! :). I’ve linked them in the description, you should still be able to get them or something very very similar ☺️

I actually just came back from Europe with this exact back and flew Ryanair and they let it through 🙊. If you made sure not to overpack it too much, I think you’d have a good chance of squeezing it in. Let me know if you try!! ☺️

I’ve actually never ever had to open my toiletries bags! As long as the liquids stay under 100ml then you’re good to go. I’ve flown small European airlines and I’ve never had problems with having a “main” toiletries bag (like my pink one) and then a smaller little makeup bag 😊

It’s IKEA ☺️. I’ve linked all the bags and accessory items in the description for you 😇

Yes, so technically a carry on and a personal bag :). Granted this tote bag is a big chunky and I often don’t end up using that on the plane, and instead just open for the smaller foldable backpack that is super condensed and doesn’t take up much space. Mostly for my laptop! I often just fold the tote bag and add it into my bigger backpack in case I do happen to need an extra bag. But it does fit under the seat so it’s usually okay! Totally understand how it could be frustrating though. Thank you for watching anyway and sharing your thoughts ☺️

Hey lovely! It’s from IKEA :). It’s surprisingly super sturdy and very well made. Definitely check out their ‘travel’ range 🥰

So this is for 3-4 weeks! I usually pack with the mindset of packing for around 1 week (with a few extra tops 😅). That usually covers me for multiple weeks because it’s hard to wear more than one weeks worth of clothes in reality 😊

Yes, you’re right ;). My main bag is around 7-8kg. My smaller bag is a a few kgs because of my laptop, but I hide that one behind me if I’m near the airline staff so they don’t see it haha. I also sometimes take a smaller bag just to fit my laptop so it looks like a “personal bag” and they don’t weigh personal bags (in my experience) 😁

Many budget airlines only let yoi have 7 or 10 kg altogether or just 1 bag. How does that work for summer/winter. Does a hip strap really help with weight of pack please?

Hey lovely! @lbunnygordon113 I found the waist strap on my old bag only useful when I was walking for long period of time from destination to destination. I would say at that time I was doing more traditional “backpacking travel”. Now, I do less budget/backpacking travel so find that I can get away without having the waist strap. It’s really a personal preference! The waist strap just helps support a heavier backpack as the hips carry the load as opposed to your shoulders. If I were you I would consider the type of travel you want to do, and then go and try out a few backpacks in store :). If you are taking a heavy backpack, then likely having waist straps is the way to go! ❤️

Usually no more than about 8-9kg. I try keep my main carry on at around 7-8kg and then my little backpack/smaller bag at around 1-2kg. This is usually a good way to do it and avoid the bags being weighed 😊

Ahh! I promise I did 😂 this was my first “packing” video and I forgot to film a few smaller items, like my electronics haha. But I pack using multi use plugs, I’ll bring a global charging plug, a power bank that is strong enough to charge my laptop but still allowed on the plane (planes have voltage restrictions), and I love bringing my magnetic apple charging cable because I can charge my AirPods and iPhone easily without needing to worry about the usbc outlet. Thank you for pointing out I missed my cables! I hope this helps a bit though ☺️

Around 8kg! 😊 you could also easily remove a few clothing items, and one pair of shoes to lighten the load!

Yes good point! Japan is high on my bucket list. I was considering taking carry-on on the flight over with another smaller soft bag inside so I can buy stuff and then check one or two of the bags in if needed on the way out (as long as I’m heading straight back home) 😁😁

@@libbyyazbek you need to go! You can fill a checked bag pretty quickly depending on what you buy. Some people just buy a checked bag there to not pay the bag on the way there I've never been to Europe but I'll make it out there eventually 🤙🏼 I want to return to Japan again next year I enjoyed it that much

Ohhh I bet there are just so many amazing things to see and do there (and buy 😅)!! I can’t wait, it’s a place I’d love to get to within the next year. Europe is cool, but soooo different to Asia. I honestly love SEA so much, I have no doubt I’d fall in love with Japan. I like your idea of buying a checked bag over there, something I will likely do when I go 😍

Yeah for sure! Whatever works and feels good for your travels ☺️😊

Haha well this is for about 1 month of travelling! Honestly it’s been a perfect amount with my bag only weighing around 8kg. I took out a few shirts tbh lol, only ended up with about 5. I purposely took an old pair of Nike walking sneakers so I could throw them out as I knew I’d only need them for a portion of the trip. But apart from that, it has been a perfect amount of items! 😉😁
