How I packed my carry on bag for two years around the world 

Ear plugs and an eye mask. Life sucks without good sleep!

For long term travel: flat socks, Scrubba bag for laundry, and a couple grocery bags. Great video!!

Brand new subscriber here. A Turkish towel/Pashmina/Wrap Scarf for accessorizing and multi-use, plus taking up so little space and so little weight. 😁❤️ Happy New Year! ❤️

@@heatherframpton9693 Excellent choice! They are so flattering and work for multiple purposes :)

Birkenstock sandals, a Turkish towel (I like these much more than microfiber towels), diva cup because I just love it so much, solid shampoo and conditioner, and a new addition is the Dr. Bronners all-in-one soap which is great for laundry! 😄

Lol everyone needs a Jeff! Thank you so much for watching :)

No problem! I think women should be more open about this stuff, half the planet goes through it after all :)

Thank you so much for watching and for the support, Nancy! Have fun on your trip :)

That is actually a solid point! Thank you for watching!

Yep! Packable rain jackets are key. Even if you don't use them for rain a lot of them are great insulators for when you get cold which is how we got around not having any jackets in Cappadocia actually lol.

Athleta and Vuori

You could always ask! :)

Thank you for watching! I'm so glad to hear i'm not that only one that cant travel without some kind of pillow! Truly makes the long journeys much for enjoyable. #PillowBuddies4Life

Thank you so much!

Wait WHUT? LOVED BOTH! Ps. I'm a stylist. She's super lucky she's thin...she can wear anything ;)🎉

Thank you, Faith! I also just posted my 6 month update follow- up video as well! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BHGU3ipmhD8.html

Yeah hiking or any sort of activity makes things a bit harder! Temperature can sometimes be handled by thoughtful layering but not always. We actually brought rain gear and boots for Iceland knowing we would leave with them family in Switzerland because they are just too bulky to carry around with a 40l backpack. Impressive you are doing it all with 70! The boots themselves take up a huge amount of real estate.

That's an awesome pro tip! Yeah I've had a love hate relationship with qtips and was excited for the reusable ones but they just didn't seem to really do anything. I'll check out the pimple popper idea though for sure!

@@onebagoneworld I bought this one in 2014 and I will never need another one. Just make sure that you are careful so you do not hurt yourself. You can probably get something like this in a zero waste shop or so. Hope you like it! images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31Pi9rYYabL._AC_US327_QL65_.jpg

Thank you so much for watching

Thank you so much!

Hello Amie, thank you so much for watching the video! In terms of the final weight before we left for our 2 year journey, it was about 10.5 kg without my day pack. It has changed a little bit though given that I have sent some of the heavier stuff home ( too warm for some of the items). I haven't had access to a scale yet but once I do, I will add the new weight to our updated video here in about 2 months :) Fantastic question about outerwear! I had the Arcteryx Kyanite which is SO amazing, but unfortunately, it sat it my bag and took up most of the room during our time in Europe when it was averaging around 90 degrees F everyday so it made sense to ship it for the moment. I did, however, purchase a rain jacket in Greece which I will also explain in my updated video. Its been an awesome little purchase! For other times when I get chilly, I just bundle up in all of my summer clothes. Not the best option, but makes sense for right now! I will purchase some warmer items once we get to colder places ( probably going to be Vietnam). My Pacsafe model is the Venture SafeX Anti-theft 6L. LOVE this bag! I also checked the Vibe 325, but didn't like the carry as much. Other items I recommend, I actually have quite a few accessories that we didn't realize we would love as much as we would. Stay tuned, we are making a video about them soon! Thank you for being one of the people that avoids single use plastics as much as you can! We are kindred spirits :) I do this as well! I think we haven't really had a chance to use the spork as much as we want to. In Iceland, they are extremely green conscious, so they only had wood and bamboo utensils, or we ate in restaurants which of course had reusable metal utensils. In Europe, we never got take away food so we never needed them. In Turkey, again, we wouldn't get take away food and if we did it was only ever a Kebab which we eat with our hands anyway, so its perfect! Thank you so much for your thoughtful questions! Stayed tuned for the other packing videos :)

Less is definitely more! Enjoy the time with your son!

Chi Denise I’m also planning long-term travel with my 4year old. Would love to swap notes!

That's an excellent point! Thank you so much for watching!

Hello! Absolutely! I dont think I quite realized how many viewers would like to see how everything actually fits into the bag itself so now I know for our 6 month bag update video. We will be filming those soon so keep an eye on our channel :)

What is the brand of smaller backpack did you show? The one that you wear on your front.

The brand is PacSafe

I ended up adding a rain jacket! I will share the type and price in our update video which will be coming out soon (ish).

Hey Jennifer! Thank you so much for watching! I went with the Venturesafe X Sling. It seems to be sold out unfortunately and I'm not sure what would be a good substitute. It actually looks larger than it feels but the size allows me to fit a waterball in it which was my only big hang up about using a sling over a backpack style day pack. pacsafe.com/collections/venturesafe-x/products/venturesafe-x-anti-theft-sling-pack

Thank you so much for watching! Stay turned for my 6 month bag update video! I will be packing the full bag out :)

Hey Liz! Actually not too bad so far :) we do have socks and shoes haha we aren't THAT minimalist. As for coats and cardigans we did pick up a small fleece at decathlon to get us through cold flights etc and will grab base layers before we go into colder places!

Very nice! We are also headed to Africa later on this year so our backpacks will come in handy. I would be interested in testing out a duffle but ultimately I like that with my backpack I can carry it using both sides of my body equally but with a duffle I always end up throwing out one side of my body.

Wow, that's impressive!

Thank you! We do get paid through the Amazon links on our website :) Just not anything else besides the Amazon links just yet. Thank you for asking and so happy to have you apart of our community!

Seriously! I feel like no one else talks about it haha.

When I travel with my cup and I don't really trust the water. I rinse it an then go over it with a cup/disinfection wipe. In a pinch, it's also okay to clean the cup with toilet paper and then go over it with a wipe, I'd say. Then wash it with soap when you're back at your accommodation. Although I don't have to change them for at least 6-8 hours, which makes it even more chill. LOVED the cup when scuba diving as well. So much more convenient than a tampon!

@@jule124about to travel where the water isn’t safe. What kind of disinfection wipes did you use on yours?

@@morganyoung2670 I got that through Amazon. They were from the Merula cup brand.

@@jule124 thanks for responding! I’ll have to get some!

Yeah totally understand that! We also got fed up with the lack of color. I think for our next stint we are going to add in some more variety.

Yep they discontinued it unfortunately :( I got the last one at a retailer near us. We looked at their new line but really liked some of the features on this bag more (although it is a bit heavier than the newer ones). What kind of bag did you end up with?

Hey Leslie! At the moment we are traveling around the world, but when we get back home I will be doing a video on a an 'under-the-seat' only sized bag so stay tuned!

Thank you so much! I will be giving these a try for sure. Having a rough period is hard enough in general, but when you're traveling it makes it that much worse.

Why would a drink stop blood from your womb? It needs to shed a lining of blood cells, a drink can't stop it.

​@@lizb4156 you really need to do some research about endometriosis and similar conditions. Some women struggle with heavy, painful periods their whole lives and use all sorts of methods to manage them. This is a relatively common but extremely under-acknowledged condition and you should just be grateful this is not your experience of menstruation

@@susie9893 What the hell does what you said have to do with my comment? I said a drink can't affect someone's amount of blood lost or duration. It's not possible.

@@lizb4156 herbal teas hon. And they've long been remedies in humans AND animals. As I say, if doctors can't or won't do anything then desperate times etc

Hey there! From what i've seen its just one standard size.

Oh wow that's cheap, I'll take a look!

Hey Mercedes sorry for such a late reply! I have everything now listed on the website packing list: onebagoneworld.com/packing-lists/ I think the flowy shorts are the Sozy - Mary Ann shorts :)

Here you are! hercleon.com/products/apollo-self-cleaning-t-shirt

Hello! Those shorts are from Vuori. Please find my full packing list here: onebagoneworld.com/packing-lists/

@@onebagoneworld Thank you😘😘😘

This is the global companion 40l which has been discontinued in favor of their new 40l travel bags. Maybe we will grab the new one and do a comparison soon.

They are from a company called Sozy! Here is a link to all my stuff lighterpack.com/r/yp9z1m!

@@onebagoneworld amazing resource!! the travel packing nerd in me is very satisfied by the organisation of the list 😂

Here you go :) www.wearlively.com/products/the-all-day-deep-v-no-wire-jet-black?variant=29842543692

@@onebagoneworld thanks! And the brand of the black one?

I actually took the Farpoint 40 when I backpacked through Thailand for the first time. Right off the top of my head, I hate that the laptop compartment wasn't right up against my back to help with the overall structure and weight distribution of the bag. I also didnt like that it had two water bottle pockets in the front. I thought that at least one of them would have served me better as a pocket with a zipper but more importantly due to the bulge in the bag they never seemed to fit easily.

The towel we use is the Matador ultralight towel - large. The nanodry is great too just much bulkier!

Its the Venturesafe x but I dont believe its being sold anymore, unfortunately.

Hey! We actually did bring winter clothes but left them in Switzerland either family since we were in summer for the next 7+ months. Check out my 6 month bag update for how it progressed and some warmer clothing I purchased for the colder weather.

Hey Cecillie Yeah the winter wear is always the hard part about one bagging. Sticking to one season is definitely the easier way to do it, but overcoming this challenge has also been a fun part for us. Layering is crucial so picking up some baselayers from uniqlo (I talk about this in my 6 month bag update) will be key in helping us stay warm. I also grabbed a down jacket from Uniqlo and I have been using the fleece we picked up at a Decathlon as a mid layer. Sleeping bag has actually never been an issue for us. We have both done some traveling across europe and asia before and neither time did we ever use our sleeping sacks or bags. There has always been some accommodation with bedding everywhere we have been. I think the first place this might be an issue is Mongolia if we do an overland trip, but then we plan on picking something up and donating it when we are finished. Yes exactly! Color coordination/having a capsule wardrobe are your best friend. I really like the 30x30 challenge, 30 items for 30 days. I think it's a great place for people to start thinking about how to onebag while not one bagging. For modest clothing in Islamic countries You can almost always cover up with a shawl/sarong/shemagh. I plan on picking up a shemagh when we get to Oman/Egypt and that coupled with leggings and a t-shirt that covers my shoulders should be fine. Waterproof gear is a mixed bag when one bagging. Even in the ultralight/thru hiking community people are starting to lean more towards quick dry than waterproof gear. The issue is if things get wet that are waterproof they take forever to dry. We like to stick to a rain jacket approach and borrow an umbrella if there is one available. Otherwise we just get a bit wet and then leave our things out to dry although it really hasn't been a problem so far. This is for city travel though, hiking is another story :) So in general I will say security is not much of an issue. Just to play it safe though we do have clothing that has zippered pockets where we carry our day to day cash and I have my pacsafe bag which holds our passports and credit card. Since there are two of us we leave backup credit card + the other persons credit and debit cards at whatever hotel we are staying at. This way if we lose anything we still have other ways to get money. We also upload photos of our passports, vaccination records, and licenses to the cloud as well as keep copies on our phones.

Yep! This bag is: 13.75 in x 21.5 in x 8 in OR 34.9 x 54.6 x 20.3 cm

Here is the other one! I have the grey bra but will be getting the black version when I get the chance! www.wearlively.com/products/the-all-day-deep-v-no-wire-jet-black?variant=29842543692

It's just more difficult in some places, typically Africa and in asia pads are much more common. I'm sure except for a few countries you could probably find them in most major cities, but it's not always guaranteed.

Great question! Our goal is roughly 125$ a day but western Europe in peak season + expensive places like Iceland broke that a bit so we will see how long we are able to continue. The goal after SE Asia is to be back on track or maybe closer to $100 per person per day since we are flying more than taking overland transport which obviously ups the cost a decent amount as well. I think you could easily do what we have done for $60 per person per day by staying in hostels and using cheaper forms of transport!

Thanks Kessa! We do our best to reduce our environmental impact and we don't always succeed. We'll do our best going forward!
