Travel Tips: Packing Cubes 

Just got my packing cubes. We travel at least a few times a year and sometimes up to once a month. Headed a five day long girls trip in Palm Springs and excited to test out the packing cube system. I am an organizing addict.

Packing cubes are cool for organizing, but if ya really wanna save space as well as organize, nothing beats color coded compression sacks. They compress down to nothing and are organized by color. Especially great for backpackers who like to be constantly mobile and prefer to travel light. Great videos by the way!

thanks for all your great tips: i'm an old person but still love to travel and slooooowly learning to simplify, especially since i have to put my own bag in the overhead...

I love packing cubes! Making travel such a breeze! I bought Eurybia packing cubes before making my second move abroad. These things are amazing!

I have used packing cubes for a few years now. Love how it is so easy to unpack and keep organized. Like the suggestion of grouping by days.

I'd love to see videos reviewing different packing cube! These kinds of travel tip videos are some of my favorites on your channel, they definitely helped me when I was travelling this past month!

Desde que seguí tu consejo de poner todo en bolsos,bolsitas y demases mis viajes son súper agradables. LLego a los hoteles,abro mi maleta y saco todo en un instanteGracias Sonia

Hi Sonia~ I enjoyed your videos for weeks before my first trip overseas. The adventure was 2 weeks long and every tip from these packing cubes to clothing to electrical outlet converter were extremely helpful. Thank you!

Sonia, don't ask us if we want to see a video about a certain subject. WE ALWAYS WANT IT!!

Yeeeeah! I'M PACKING!!! New York --> Amsterdam --> Copenhagen --> Spain! Vamo' arriba!!!

sonia love the idea of packing cubes review. lately been watching all sorts of packing videos. so feeling hungry for more. even though not going anywhere anytime soon, i still need more ideal of how to pack better. these ideas could help me at work. (i pack clothes for a living)

I am a big fan of the packing cubes now after using them for 2 trips. I am able to pack for our family of 4 into one medium size luggage and a carry on for a week of vacation. So much more effective use of space!

i'm obsessed with these videos

Just ordered some of the eagle creek packing cubes and can't wait for them to arrive. I am a big fans of yours and am currently doing the Fluenz Italian program. I am amazed at what I have learnt so far!

Please do a comparison video of different packing cubes you have tried, I it would be great! Also, I am a new subscriber and found your channel after looking up videos for my up and coming trip to Spain, and I love it! You seem like such a great person, can not wait to keep watching your videos.

Anyone who is on a budget could try the packing cubes from Daiso. I tried it for my recent trip and I loved it!!! now I understand why people use packing cubes!! give it a try! thanks Sonia for the tip!

Oh, and come to Helsinki! It's finally nice and sunny here, you'll love it!

Good tip on the packing folder. Now I gotta get one!

i love the packing folder! never thought of that before.

Im sold! I bought two from zappos, I will be going to New York next week and Las Vegas in June. Keep up the great videos.

I wish somebody would do a video for plus size and disable people who have to fit larger clothes and/or assistive devices in the same tiny suitcase. It's easy when you're a size 2-6; not so much when you're a 22 and sick.

I'm so excited! I have ordered my packing cubes from Eagle Creek :) I can't wait to use them on my next trip :)

I use Eagle Creek Specter cubes. Very light weight and it does help to keep things organized.

I've been using Packing cubes for years. They were a wonderful purchase!

yes please, make a review of the packing cubes you've tried :)

That would be great. My daughter is going on a very long trip and love watching your videos.

Yes, please do a review of the different packing cubes. I have only tried the Eagle Creek ones and I would like to see how others compare.

Yes please review the various packing cubes.

AWESOME!! I already do several things of what you do in your videos, but my friend recommended for me your channel to learn more tricks. I'm going on a 4 day trip & this video was Very Useful! Thanks!

Great ideas! I travel a lot during the year as I'm a workshop presenter. I usually pack clothes for 3 days of teaching and what I wear on the plane to and from. I also pack electronic gear such as a speaker, mic, projector and laptop, with the necessary cords and accessories. Any good ideas for those? I normally have 2 checked bags and one carry on. Thanks!

Please do what exactly you should pack for like a 7 day trip a four day trip and so on. As well jet lag! YOU ARE AWSOME KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!

Hi Sonia. I wanted tos say that your videos are amazing and I wish if you could make a video of how to pack for short trips. Thanks goodies from Colorado

I don't have a packing cube, so I used a delicates bag I had laying around - I think it worked pretty good to contain my clothes within my suitcase. it's definitely not structured to hold its shape like the packing cube seems to do, but I think it still saved some space.

I love packing cubes. Now, I'm going to have to find me a packing folder!

Love packing cubes, great tips, thank you!!!

Definitely do a compare! I'm deciding between these and ebags!

Hi! I´m from argentina, and your blog its really awesome.- i´m really interesting on buying packing cubes and i´d really like if you can fill me up with the information about the different qualities on the market. Thank you very much!

Packing cubes yes please!! Review and links!

What do you think of Space Bags? I don't own any wrinkle prone clothes (I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl) and I discovered them for my Scotland/Ireland trip some years ago. As for luggage, I despise rolling luggage. I love to walk, hike, explore areas where there are stairs, though sometimes I'll end up trucking my family's rolling cases along (like for my grandparents in Australia where I was a pack mule). My check bag I've had for nearly 20 years and it's AMAZING. I'm all about the backpack straps.

Sonia, thanks for helpful tips, I am interested in which packing cubes are best

Hi Sonia, going to Europe for 2 months. 38 days on a Mediterranean Cruise, then a driving tour through France. How many outfits would you pack for this time for myself and my husband? Thanks. Just found your video's, thanks they are fantastic, with great ideas.

THANK YOU SONIA! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

Are they practical for a longer trip, or one where you need to pack say beach + night + casual day? It seems they are best suited for short trips where you know the weather and itinerary in advance

Allo Sonia! Could you please tell me which one you preferred between the Eagle Creek travel gear Pack it Specter starter kit and the Sea to Summit travelling light garment mesh bag and why? Thank you! P.S: Perhaps you could compare them on a next video? :)

Hey what's up Sonia, I take it you prefer packing cubes over vacuum bags? Trying to decide which route to go, what do you think? Thanks

I would love to hear a review on the different packing cubes! Also, if you have any tips for packing for our destination wedding! I feel like I am going to take everything and the kitchen sink. :(

yes ! please do a review

I second the motion this question, im interested to know too

Hola! Se que te llevas bien con los idiomas asi que no voy a intentar escribir en mi muy malo ingles. Recientemente me he chocado con tu canal y veo que sos la persona indicada para hacerle estas preguntas. El tema es el siguiente, soy de uruguay, estudio arquitectura, y hay un viaje que se estila hacer en esta carrera que es al rededor de el mundo, si, todo el mundo (o casi todo); a veces dura mas, a veces dura menos pero este año va a ser de 7 meses de duración! Entonces, aqui va la pregunta: que consejos tendrías para nosotros? Ya que he tomado muchos tips de tu canal pero teniendo en cuenta que pasamos por casi todas las estaciones y nos movemos en todo tipo de locomoción (hacemos la mayor parte en camioneta) y alojamiento (acampamos la mayoría del viaje) y sobre todo, porque solo podemos cargar una valija mediana con nosotros! (como sabrás, esta es la que cumple con la mayoría de los requisitos de peso y medidas). Bueno espero tus comentarios! Me encuentro muy entusiasmada! Gracias y saludos!

Yes pls do a review and does packing cube add weight to your luggage?

Please review some of your favorite packing cubes! PLEASE!!!!

I like your clothes , you should put a link where you get them, if you can. Thanks!

Packing cubes review!!! Yes yes yes

Hi Sonia! Love ur vlog. I would like you to share some packing tips for long trips (from 15 to 30 days). Thank you!!!

I just recently discovered packing cubes and wish I used them a lot sooner! I've used them in suitcases but I'm wondering what size you would recommend for backpack? (I'm talking large hiking packs that backpackers use in Europe). Do you have any tips on how to properly organize one of those backpacks? I'd love to see a video on cube reviews!

I would love to see a review video on the packing cubes!

What size cubes do you find the most helpful? I've seen many on Amazon and ripstop nylon is what I would think might be best. Any suggestions?

Nice video! Hi Sonia I'm hoping you could help me. I love the cubes, BUT I have a very big problem. I'm new to your channel so I don't know if you've answered this problem already. The first time I used my packaging cubes, I didn't have the luxury of keeping my cubes out. I had to keep them in my suitcase. So every morning I had to take the cubes out, put them on the bed and dig through each cube to figure out what was where. When I packed I did put my bathing suit stuff in one. Pants in another. Dresses in another. The problem was all the cubes are the same color so they all look the same. They did have mesh, but I sometimes forgot what my shirts looked like, or what cube my bras were in. It was a nightmare. My clothes were organized but I couldn't put my hands on the bags I needed immediately and spent a lot of time zipping and unzipping cubes lol. Do you have any tips on how to do this better or maybe a way to put a label on the cubes? It was a very frustrating and painful experience :( Please help I go on my trip trip in 2 weeks.

Please review the TUMI packing cubes. Thanks!

PLEASE REVIEW about how to use packing cubes in one cabin bag weighing up to 10kg with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm, plus 1 small bag up to 35 x 20 x 20 cms for 4-5 days.

Hi Sonia! Thanks for this video and the review one. Wanted to know, which size is your luggage? I'm travelling nearly 4 months (a bit less) to China + India and am thinking of buying a 80 liters luggage (thinking of the Osprey Sojourn 80, or if not the 60 liters version), but haven't made up my mind yet. My main question tho is: I would definitely want to use packing cubes, but how many? And which sizes? Thanks in advance for the help :)

Please review the other packing cube options :) love your videos!

Ah! Just what I was looking for!

What about compression packs for your clothing for backpacking? Or any tips about packing a single bag for 3-6 months.

Awesome video Sonia, really helpful :D

Please do a review of different packing cubes !! X

Please review the packing cubes! This is the first I've seen of such things. They are like suitcases within a suitcase. Suitcasception.

Do you recommend sealed bags or storage bags for large trips? I like bringing clothes for relatives and I can only take so much... any way to pack a large amount of clothing w storage bags and at the same time save space?

Hi...my husband and I are going to Hawaii for a week and then on to Alaska for a week. I would like to only take one suitcase per person. What would you recommend for packing cubes??? Thank you!

i'm excited to pack! your video inspire me always :)
