What are your go-to travel essentials when trying to pack light? 🤍

It's crazy how much you can fit in just a personal item! I once packed different tops and skirts for each day of a 5-day trip (normally I'd re-wear bottoms, but I was taking photos) and managed to fit it all in there with packing cubes. So nice to not have to bring a whole suitcase

Remember that while packing for Europe it usually is necessary to put ALL of the liquids in the special bag - that includes mascara, eyeliner, liquid lipstick, perfume, everything that has the volume in fluid ounces or milliliters

I recommend wearing socks at the airport for when they ask you to remove your shoes the floor is pretty grimy

Got this for a 4 day trip and its sooo good and still alot of space! Love the extra shoes compartment, used it for dirty clothes.

You make it look so easy! You've definitely inspired this chronic over-packer!

Love this so much!!! I’m a bit of a minimal travel packing nerd (been using the TB Synapse 19 for 5+ yrs) and it is SO refreshing to see a fellow 20 something women who does the same! Most of the YouTubers I’ve found who do this are only men…. And awesome you live in Charlotte as well 😊

Ty for this video, flying in 4 days with just a personal item under the seat for a week’s trip😊

🤩Thanks for sharing your minimalist packing plan! It's very much appreciated!

[elysebuehrer]

After watching this I feel like there will hardly ever be a scenario when I will need to pack any other way. So convenient!

Amazing 😀 it's crazy how everything fit into 1 bag. Nicely done ☺️

Love packing videos!! But you not packing a pair of leggings or jeans makes me anxious for the possibility that the weather changes...😂 I once went on a 34-day trip to Japan, traveling around with just a 40L backpack, with some room to spare for some souvenirs I might wanna take home. I love the challenge of packing minimal and only taking the essentials!

Fyi. TSA opened my bag and told me things like toothpaste (it happened to be full size-I forgot, so take travel size!) and mascara are considered liquids. I have this backpack in lavender color, and it is great and roomy. Don't take rolling luggage anymore because they always at risk of being checked in if not enough room on plane. I just use this backpack and a fanny back across chest for easy phone/ passport/ essentials access. I always wear socks for travel day because it grosses me out to be barefoot going through security, or seeing it. Lol.

I love these minimal pack with me videos, I love that you only used one bag. That's my goal when traveling even in car traveling. I feel less stressed if I only take as little as I can.

A tip for folding bikinis: Instead of folding the cups and wrapping the bottoms around, I suggest putting them inside, so the cups stay intact. Works with bras as well - like a shell basically

Love love love this video! I really enjoyed your previous one-bag travel video, I'm so happy to see an updated version! I just did a one-bag trip to Maine, but could definitely use some of your pieces of advice to update my methodology. Thank you!!

I so love this, Ashlynne. Thanks for the idea. You are truly an inspiration to everyone, especially to people who are fond of organization and decluttering. Keep on posting, please. Stay safe! 💙

I went to Nashville last year and only took a backpack. It made it so easy to go sightseeing in the time between hotel checkout and my flight later in the evening. I used the city bus to keep travel costs low, so I didn’t really have a convenient place to store luggage. Plus I forgot to pre-check-in for my return flight so there was limited space once I boarded. No problem putting it under the seat!

So grateful for this. Heading to Cyprus for 12 days with my parents in just over two weeks. As my Dad's mobility is not great i'm taking a rucksack in the hold and small carry on for additional items in the cabin so i can take care of my parents suitcases as well.

duudee I love how your bag fits everything it's so convenient♥️ it's also good to travel light since its cheaper and has less envi impact. Would love to try this. Thanks for the video!
