【Japanese Minimalist】How I pack my luggage into carry-on bag for 2 weeks trip in Europe / vol.1

Is it possible to travel to Europe with a carry-on suitcase and small hand bag for two weeks?

Yes!!

Things I brought:

Honestly, as a minimalist, I don't want you to buy many things.
However, If you really want to buy them, please ask yourself,
“Does this spark joy？“ before buying it:)

・Kimono ▶︎▶︎▶︎ I bought it from local kimono shop! If you are interested in it, please let me know:)

Great video. Once, I went to San Francisco with no luggage at all. When I got to the city, I went to a casual clothes store and bought enough clothes to last me two weeks. It wasn't much, because I could wash my clothes in my room. After my stay, I gave my clothes to the homeless and returned home with nothing.

Thank you for the video. As a teenager, I went with friends to another city for a weekend training trip (Aikido) and let my mom decide what to pack... She packed clothes for 2 weeks, food for the whole time for my friends and myself and lots of other things like travel games. In the end, we used fast food stores, the training clothes and talked with the others in our free time rather than trying to dig up anything in my luggage. I didn't use or need half of the stuff. Luckily, one of the guys carried my luggage for me, so I didn't suffer too much. Today, I prefer traveling with less weight. 😂

I went to Paris for two weeks in winter with only a small over-the-shoulder bag. I packed only wool and leather pieces, in only cream and black colours. It was perfect and I didn't even have to try and drag a wheeled bag over the cobblestones. :)

Imho that incredibly minimal packaging for 2 two weeks travel 😱😱😱. That save a lot of money, time and energy 👍👍👍

[mandeep.]

Wow, that’s impressive.
I like that you wore your traditional clothes, I usually feel quite self-conscious about doing it and never considered taking it with me on holiday 🤦🏻‍♀️. I never thought about washing clothes manually and taking detergent sheets too. I assume you used the amenities in the hotels or something, hopefully you had spf.

What a joy to see you uploaded a new video! As for me, no matter how light do I pack, it always turns out I pack more than what I end up using. Each and every time so far it has been a learning opportunity. I now think at every travel as a minimal journey, where part of the fun is to try and find out what I do actually need, based on last experience. Sometimes I think a big part of it is that when travelling I am happier already, and being happier I do actually need less already… what do you think?

In 2 hours I'm leaving to Germany for couple days, so this video has a perfect timing

How exciting! I‘m looking forward to your adventures in Switzerland. I‘m from Zürich.

When I went to India for 2 weeks in 2019, I had also chosen to take only a small suitcase allowed in the cabin. It's so much more convenient and quicker at airports!

I also bring only a carry-on suitcase with me when I travel to a country for a week. Mix and match clothes and the lightest possible. Then I simply buy in the country what I might need locally. But you are so clever and practical too! knowing its going to be winter in Europe! Kudos for your exemplary achievement!

Great video. My dream is to travel to Japan, I hope one day I would be able to make it true. I can't travel with only a carry on with my daughter, she needs toys to entertain her while traveling but your advices are dope and can be quite helpful. Thanks for your videos.

Very useful! I never travel light! Change time! I will tried to down size to 7.9 kg.

I am currently on a 10 day trip with just a personal item (Frontier Airlines), it is so freeing, I love it!

[scaryfatguy]

I know you somehow manage to read every comment that you get, and I just want to wish you nothing but happiness. Every time I watch one of your videos I feel so relaxed and hopeful! Looking forward to your travel videos!

Hi Mr. Aki,

As your fans, I would like to request that might be your consideration to make these videos recomendation :

1. Digital minimalist // e.g Handphone app / wallpaper etc
2. Your activities when off-day (Saturday/Sunday)
3. How to keep maintaining our mind / heart and soul to be calm as a minimalism
4. Story telling about your daily activities 😆

Thank you so much sir for your time to see my request, keep up spirit to make the inspiration videos, I'm sorry if my english is not good enough

Small carry-on for the win! I did the same for 2 weeks in Europe and felt bad for everyone else with all their big bags.

Good video. Carry on baggage is the only way to go.

[GeckoHiker]

Carry-on bag luggage is the only way to go, in my opinion. I fondly remember my month long epic cross country AMTRAK train trip that included a stop in Seattle and a one week cruise up the inside passage of Alaska. The cruise included two formal nights.

I washed my underwear and shirts as needed in a basin with the free shampoo provided. I dressed very nicely for the formal nights and wore layers as needed for the excursions. The trip encompassed a temperature range of 90 degrees in the lower 48 states to a low of 30 degrees in Alaska. So I wore leggings under travel pants, tee shirt under a long sleeve shirt, with a hoodie and a rain poncho on the coldest day. It was perfect!

Konnichiwa! Can you make a video about your everyday carry?

[stephanierachel]

Another great video. I found the video useful as I'm going on holiday myself in two months. Love and Blessings to you and yours!
