#PERSONALITEMTRAVEL #MINIMALISTPACKINGTIPS #PACKLIGHT

[AnnieAtRecess]

My 1 tip to make accessing everything in your carry-on so much easier is to load things in vertically instead of horizontally. So, rather than loading from bottom to top and having to remove layers to access what's below, lay your bag on its side to begin with and load things in next to each other so that when you stand the bag back up, the ends of every item in the bag are visible and easy to grab.

When the universe aligns and I am able to fold a fitted sheet, possibly I will be able to travel with only a personal item - well done!

Something I found helpful is rolling and packing clothes in 1 and 2 gallon zip lock bags. I squeeze all the air out and seal. It shrinks the volume, and if the bag tips or anything it all stays together ❤

Getting all that into that tote was impressive! I like that you're not using any crazy "technical" or expensive gear for this.

My cousin described my mom as looking like a bunch of grapes carrying all her luggage, so I understand the motivation to pack light!

My husband and I hiked the Camino de Santigao about 5 years ago. THAT"S a huge eyeopener about how much you don't need to haul around. One of the best things I did was buy a travel clothesline.I washed our clothes and we lived super light.

The large scarf is a super key piece - I agree! Learned that the hard way the first & only time I broke my "carry-on only" rule. Bag went missing and I then had to spend the next week repurposing the scarf as a dress, a skirt, a top, a wrap, a headdress, a blanket, and even as a spare bag!

A tip I have for travelling is to keep any old or worn underwear stored away until you have a trip and then when away, wear them and throw them in the bin once worn. This saves on smelly washing in your bag 😊

This entire video was life changing. I’m going to take baby steps and pack lightly in a carryon first 😂 thanks boo for sharing

Nice! I exclusively travel with a personal item. I have a rolling suitcase in the maximum sized allowed for a personal item, 18 x 14 x 8 inches. It comes in so clutch! The square shape makes it extra roomy and the fact that it rolls definitely saves my back! One hack for an extra long trip to Europe: I bought a cute H&M coat for $1 from Salvation Army, and I cut the inside lining and filled it snacks and other items for my flight. This left room in my personal item suitcase for cute clothes and shoes.

I am impressed! You have NAILED packing light! I have been honing my packing skills for years but still have much to learn and, after watching this video, I feel I may have found the woman who has MASTERED the art of packing light! I will be saving this video in my Favorites! Hats off to you, Carla!!!

You're my kindred spirit. I traveled all 7 continents with a 19L backpack (yes, even Antarctica), which most will not even consider a proper day bag. It's the only way I travel because checked bags feel like a small child. Too much responsibility! Love it, love it, love it! And love your channel!

[marciapickens]

I looked at everything layed out & thought, NO WAY. I know I always over pack. Half the things I don't even use! Thanks for the great tips, I look forward to using them!!! Have a great trip!

[lithopheliaxx]

really impressed! I usually travel with only the carry on, but this new personal item rule totally is a game changer and this video really inspired me ♡
I would be interested to see the "travel capsule" you created in action, i.e. if you could show the outfits you could create? I always feel I don't have practical clothes that fold down this small and still look nice, so am always looking g for inspiration.

[Peony]

I use the same bag when I travel. It always looks chic and blends in well when in Europe and I still learned something new. Thanks for sharing!

[marissaalonzo]

I travel exactly like this as well but just with a back pack and foldable purse inside. When running through airports for flight connections, it helps to distribute the weight on my back between shoulder blades.

[judymartuscello]

This is the way I've always traveled. I was reluctant to tell people because they would think I'm crazy. But it works!

[dianathomas]

Wonderful wizardry. Made me remember when I brought just a small toilet bag to a long weekend motorcycle trip: There was room for shorts, two blouses, two singlets that could double as mini skirts with a blouse for a nicer, evening look, a pair of tights for cooler weather, a pair of pretty sandals, underwear, a microfiber towel and toiletry. Didn't miss a thing and looked chic all the way.

[LibbyWithnall]

I can't tell you how impressed I am. I thought I'd seen minimalist packing videos but NOTHING compares to this. While I can't ever see this being me, you have certainly provided plenty of inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.

Your best tip was ' don't DELUDE yourself'. That should be my/our mantra. Fyi, for undies I use 'a pair and a spare' system. Wear one pair of nylon panties, pack a pair. Wash in sink or while showering on alternate days. OR use pantiliners. FOr bra, I use a combination bra/camisole. Works as top, too. I wear it on departure days plus other activities. (size 42C) Also, I wear bikini bottoms on departure days (instead of nulon panties) and tankini top as a top when swimming or with other outfits. The shawl/scarf does quadruple duty - as does a bandana. Bandana can be sleep mask or scarf and more! EXCELLENT video. tfs
