How to STOP Overpacking & Fit Everything in Just ONE Bag | minimalist packing tips ✈️

One thing I have learned from many years of travel with minimal bags is to bring comfortable, lightweight clothes in fabrics that dry quickly and can be worn multiple times with little fussiness. Things like merino, cashmere, linen, and tencel are perfect for travel.

In August-September, 2023, I went to Ireland and Scotland for 6 weeks with only a 40 litre Osprey backpack and a crossbody bag. Earlier this month, I flew to Quebec City for a one week vacation using only a 30 litre Eddie Bauer backpack and crossbody. I'm absolutely convinced that backpack only traveling is totally doable with careful planning, compression packing cubes, laundry facilities. I won't travel any other way now.

you’ve got great B roll! lol. appreciate the extra effort on the “here’s me trying to overstuff a suitcase” clips at the beginning.

I went from a chronic over-packer to a chronic under-packer. I’m still trying to figure out my wardrobe and creating outfits rather than just a top and bottoms so it’s still a work in progress, but I enjoy watching videos like these for inspiration on what to pack and possible styling tips! ✈️ ✈️

This is how I pack, have done for years. In Europe, particularly in cities, its far easier to have your bag on your back when navigating public transport, even airport.

Super obsessed with minimal packing - and this was a good one! Thanks Christina!

That’s a really helpful video. One thing you didn’t pack I would never leave without is a water bottle that fits at least half a litre. I always bring one wherever I go 😊

I love these videos despite the fact that it’s truly logistically impossible for me. For one, bigger bodies = bigger clothes. So that’s a challenge. Not to mention the bulk of my travel is touring as a musician, and when you perform on stage your clothes get so hopelessly sweaty and gross, rewearing tops or dresses is not an option. But I’ve come to packing separates so I can rewear the bottoms and save some space. And when you’re hopping from place to place to make the next gig, laundry is challenging as you don’t stay anywhere long enough to let your clothes dry for a sink wash, and the laundromat visits have to be strategically planned so you don’t miss sound check. Regardless, these are great tips for the regular vacation traveler.

A reminder that if you have any skin conditions (allergies, eczema, rosacea, etc.) don't rely on hotel bathroom products. If you want to maximize space, bring only what you need for your basic routine!

This is well timed and much appreciated as we are leaving on a Nordic trip with just a small backpack.... for 21 days 😅

[blackdogzu]

Girl, thank you so much for spoiling us with so many of your great videos! ❤🤩

[justpeachykeen]

My favorite way to pack is in one backpack! I take only my favorite, tried-and-true, clothing items! Stuff I know I like and can style multiple ways.

[zoelee]

Wonderful minimalist packing! Thank you for the upload. Hope you enjoyed your trip 😊

[mansoor]

Love all your packing videos! I watched this one as I was packing for my 3 day trip to ✈️ Matsuyama Japan!

A packing list is key. I have used the same master list for years with just a few tweaka depending on the destination. I also love compression packing cubes

✈️!
I am heading out for three and a half weeks in Ireland, Scotland, and England tomorrow, and this was exactly the reality check I needed; thank you! I always pack in a 32-liter travel backpack, so that tends to automatically edit my choices, and once I am at my destination, I NEVER want to be lugging stuff around. However, on the home side of things, I still fall victim to the "what if..." and my home head thinks I am going to want a little more variety, when my travel head will happily do without just about anything if it means not lugging a heavy bag from place to place.

✈️ great video. I like that you went through each piece of clothing and how it might go together and why it was useful with such a small inventory.. Good inspiration for a fashion packer trying to take a little bit less😉

✈️ Italy next September. Thanks for the great tips!

✈️Thanks Christina! I am travelling to Portland, Oregon for a week in July, and while I am not quite as minimalist as you, will think of these principles when I pack!
