I work as a TSA officer in Europe, and I don´t know how they operate when it comes to liquids, but if you´re planning on travelling to Europe, you may consider the guards will be extra picky when it comes to your liquid makeup. Foundations, concealer, liquid liner, liquid lipsticks etc, they all have to be inside a 1l plastic bag among your other liquids. You may get away with it, but some day you may throw away items because it´s considered too much liquids. My advice is to fill up small bottles with your necessities, but since you´re going to be away for a month, maybe you should buy certain items at your destination if they don´t last a month.

You forgot one of the most important travel essentials, ESP if you're staying in hostels...flip flops. I'd never ever EVER shower in a hostel without them.

I switched to only sports bras a year or more ago and what a life changer! The girls feel/look better and my comfort level is optimal.

Shouldn't the makeup liquids go in the liquid ziplock...

[monkandgoose]

Okay. Two comments. The liquid makeup needs to go into the liquids bag and TSA is definitely not going to allow you to bring your straight edge razor or scissors along in the carryon bag. I don't know how you got away with this but it's definitely not good advice.

This was very helpful, I've never even been on a plane before but I'm traveling to Germany for 6 weeks in a Biochemistry Lab Research program. Will definitely keep some of these tips in mind.

Shouldn’t your foundation, concealer, mascara, and eye drops be in the liquids bag also? They probably wouldn’t fit, but they are liquids. (???)

Just loved that you said "women or men that wear makeup" <3

I’m trying to decide where to go for my honeymoon. We recently got engaged and are most likely gonna just so courthouse and spend our money on traveling. I’m thinking Greece 🤗

[kristbjorgh.th.]

i recommend using packing cubes instead of these plastic bags to fit more clothes in the bag :) They're a lot more reusable.

Hi everyone!! I realize trying to cut down the video as much as I can made me neglect important details I should’ve mentioned. 😩

1. I’ve checked online and I believe you CAN bring small scissors with you in your carry on luggage as long as the scissors are less than 4 inches. Razors are also allowed as long as they have that plastic part covering the blades (in my case, I didn’t and I ended up being okay).

2. As for foundation, I think it does have to be placed in your clear bag for liquids! I clearly didn’t have enough room for liquids in my ziploc bag, so I left my foundation in my makeup bag as I traveled throughout Europe. Out of 7 countries/airports (London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Lisbon, & Madrid), I only had trouble in one - Paris. All they did was take the foundation out of my makeup bag and place it in another ziploc bag!

3. One tip I have that allowed me to travel with a little more liquids than allowed (as shown in #2) was leaving my makeup bag in my carry-on luggage and placing my bag for liquids in my personal item (i.e. backpack). Being in two separate bags, TSA was willing to place my foundation in a separate bag even though I already had a full bag of liquids in my backpack! Of course I don’t recommend this, especially since you’d be at risk of having your liquids thrown away. But if you’re feeling desperate and traveling for a few weeks...this is what I did. 😂

4. LAUNDRY!!! This is how I was able to travel with such little clothing. I typically did laundry every week or so (out of 4 weeks of traveling, I did laundry 3 times)! Most hostels have great washers and dryers for a cheap price (average was about 5-7 euros for wash + dry) & most sell detergent as well (about 2 euros)

5. I think I forgot to mention this in the video, but I traveled with a travel towel too!! Most hostels DO have towels, but sometimes they come with an extra charge (about 2-5 euros). To avoid extra charges, I decided to bring my own! Amazon sells a great one for $10 (link in description)

I like the idea about the bandana to mark the luggage...nice.ty

[iLikePiEi]

I love these kind of videos. I Recently went away for a week and I completely forgot to pack underwear! Like wtf 😭

[ati]

Wish I would have had this when I travelled through Europe for three weeks in May. Def got a shoulder injury from dragging my heavy suitcase around large airports and cobblestone streets. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Travelling with just a carry on is such a useful skill!

[JGDD]

Fold your underwear neatly, it will cut the space you are using in half, stuff your shoes with small items and store them in a cheap shower cap to protect your clothing. We really do not use a lot of product over a couple of weeks so ditch the full size for travel size products.

[sarahratzloff]

you did this at the perfect moment, i'm traveling out of the country for a week literally next week and my dumbass was really gonna do a carry on and checked bag so this is SOOO helpful! ya girl gots to save that money

[brendaplatero]

The bandana on the handles is a great idea

[annikaolsonvlogs]

I'm studying abroad in Spain this summer for three weeks!! This video was super helpful as I am also interning so I have to pack "professional" clothes as well.

[francinejaninesarmiento]

What a great video quality! I find your video so helpful! I am a traveler too, and as for me what suits me for my travel is my Nomad Lane Bento Bag. It is a duffel carry-on bag that packs like a suitcase, has a lot of compartments inside, and can fit under the seat.

Where's the purple puffer coat from? I need it
