Traveling 3 Weeks In Europe With A Personal Item Only? | Minimalist Travel Tips | How To Pack Light

I've used the airport shopping bag trick too. It really works ! 😂

Lol Thanks 💖💖💖

Nice collection of videos! As an expat who travels quite often personal item only (most recently to Romania last month), I did wonder how you'd fit all that stuff into such a small space (and would have liked to actually see that part). Happy I stayed til the end to see the handbag trick 😂

My question is, if you have to wear your extra clothes on the plane because it does not fit into the backpack, that would mean every day you would have to wear multiple clothing to get it to the next destination. Where do you put it when you are on the move? Thanks!

The last trick was interesting. I always travel with only the personal item, but I still can have a bum bag under the jacket and some stuff tied to the backpack. You can use some carabiners on the backpack for extra stuff. You could use a reusable collapsible smaller backpack or grocery shopping bag for the extra clothes.

Very much enjoyed your video - thank you for sharing.

So glad there was a nice surprise at the end of the video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

so.. what exactly she bring? other than those tips?

Good job. What are you taking? How does it fit? I realize you said it was in another video, but it would be nice to include all in one video. Thank you very much :-)

Why not just take a suitcase?

You can bring 2 bags actually. The backpack can be your carry on and the purse can be your personal item. You don’t have to hide the purse cause you’re allowed to have 2 not unless you have a separate small luggage besides your backpack and the purse which was not mentioned in the video.

Love the purse choke out HA! I use a waste pack that is a nicer material for my daily purse. Since it's attached to me it's kind of part of my outfit and also blends in with my backpack a bit, but it's also around my side so it looks like a belt when I board.

Thanks for the ideas. Please explain why United doesn't let you past the gate. That is the airline I get stuck with a lot because it is the sole provider to my town. Thanks!

Yasssss that end of video tip is awesome

Can you take a backpack and a purse on a plan?

You didn't show what the bag looked like packed

🚨 *Please do not hang your purse around your neck as demonstrated at the end of this video. It is very UNSAFE!!*
It puts you at risk of serious injury. Look up laryngeal rupture. It is a serious and often fatal injury.

Brand-new subscriber here. Thanks for this helpful content. 😊🧳💺 Yes to multiple scarves! Always part of my packed items... 😊

Have you ever thought of packing the handbag in the backpack first, then filling it with pouches, clothes?

I have the feeling that you are taking way too many toiletries, especially make up. I have no idea what's inside but looks like it takes up all the space in your bag. It is of course your personal choice, so it doesn't matter what I think but because of that you are wearing way too many clothes to the airport because they do not fit in the bag. Are you gonna be wearing them too when you go from ho(s)tel to ho(s)tel?

I’ll just pay extra! I would feel uncomfortable trying to bring extra stuff hoping they don’t notice. 😅

The last tip is lowkey kinda smart, not gunna lie :)

That's the same backpack I'm planning on using for a week trip. You have given me hope I can fit everything!

I literally laugh 😂😂😂

I feel cheated that you never showed that mass of stuff ACTUALLY fitting into that tiny jansport backpack. I watched all the videos showing what you brought, but not a single one showed the bag packed. I have doubts, lol.

Dangerous purse strap around your neck

Unfortunately this is great if you have a base but I dont.. very interesting tips

Dang...you lost me when you said you would not be packing minimally (aka utilitarian). That is the simplest way to pack. No worry if something matches something else. To each his own. :(

Your handbag is adorable, where did you get it?

Such an inspiring video! One day I’ll be traveling with just a personal item too 😊 You have beautiful energy by the way!

Love your scarf! Could I ask where you got it? I watched your clothing video and I did not see you say it there.

😊

I like your clever tip at the end. I like all of your ideas except don’t want to wear a bunch of layers and travel with clothes tied around my waist and to my bag on the flight. I would just take less and make it work.

I usually buy from a little shop in the airport and use that bag to sneak on a couple extra things, plus i usually have my camera and bulkiest lens around my neck, and maybe even a larger powerbank in my pocket. It's a bit of faff, especially if its hot inside and you're wearing layers for a winter trip to save on space running through an airport to make your flight - but it saves a fair bit when you add a few trips a year up!

I need to know if that worked lol

I found that I could attach my sling to the side of my backpack in a way that it looked like all one bag. Avoided the chokeout maneuver, but only if you don’t mind switching to a sling vs a purse.

Love your personality! great video :) thank you for those tips!

Great travel ideas! We'll be traveling to Europe in the summer

Like the video but would have preferred to see you fit all that in the backpack - I guess I'm skeptical - those toiletries and pouches were not small.

That's a neat trick, thanks for sharing it ❤
