Minimal Travel Capsule | pack with me for 2 weeks in a carry-on only! ✈️

In today's video I'm sharing how I pack for 2 weeks in a carry-on bag only. I'm travelling to London and Copenhagen in the middle of February, so layering and laundry is going to be key! I always pack the same way, no matter if I'm travelling for 1 week or 1 month.

Let me know where you’re travelling next!! ✈️✈️

I like the 5-4-3-2-1 method, but I lean toward 7/3/2. Seven tops, three bottoms, two shoes/layering pieces. Twenty-one outfits before you even add in the layering pieces. This carries me for a three week trip, and more. I just plan for laundry while I travel. Shoes are the hardest part for me.

Also, I cheat. I don't count the outfit I travel in. Naughty, I know. Plus, I'm always cold on the plane so I wear many layers.

I hope you have a great time. Both London and Copenhagen are fabulous cities.

Just a tip, never put your passport in your carry on suitcase. If you gate check it and forget things could get interesting upon arrival in another country. There’s also recently been an increase in, in flight thefts. Valuables should be kept in your personal item as thefts happen while you’re sleeping and opportunists can take your bag if you put it in the overhead bin away from your actual seat, which happens a lot more often than you think. Love your packing tips for different climates and vibes, safe travels😊

“One plain white tee, one plain black tee - because I like to party” had me laughing out loud 😂

[xariexis]

I really love your method of packing, and I use the exact same folding methods for my clothes. However, I never pack more than 2-3 pairs of pants, even for a whole month abroad. I guess I just don't rotate that much between them when I'm away. And I don't pack that many socks & undies, I usually pack 4-5 pieces/pairs and a multipurpose, liquid travel detergent and wash them myself by hand so I can reuse them, because no matter where I'm staying or for how many nights, there's always a sink & water, and a pair of undies or socks always dries in time. :)

Great video - has me reconsidering cubes. For cooler weather, I find silk long underwear is a great addition as it takes up very little space and can make a big difference if it’s cooler than you anticipate.

Stuff the down jacket into the handbag…. Saves both. 😊

I swear by carry-on as well. Also while you're in Copenhagen be sure to take the train over to Malmö, Sweden. It's a lovely little city with a cute old city center and some lovely second hand shops. I'm a Canadian from Toronto currently living there :)

🛩 Thanks for the packing list. I will be traveling this summer to visit my dad in Nebraska. Not the most or touristy place to be but, seeing my dad again after 7 years will be worth it. Take care and have fun.

Thanks for doing a video on colder weather! So many minimalist packing videos are on summer… like of course you can travel light when you’re only bringing swimsuits and athleisure 👀

I just returned from 7 days in London, carryon only. I packed 3 pairs of jeans and 6 sweaters no problem. However, departing Heathrow for the US: you cannot use the TSA liquids bag you use. I use the same one from Amazon . Everything must go in a quart ziplock which they hand out at the airport if you don’t have one. And there are tables you can change your stuff to the ziplock bag — and a lot of people have to do it. Just good to be aware ahead of time.

Packing light is also better for the environment. The airplane uses less fuel to lift your luggage off the ground. Love Monos. Canadian and sustainably made. Your liquids might be more accessible in your personal bag when going through security - sometimes they make you put it in the bin.

✈️✈️✈️ This video is great inspiration for my 8-day trip to Tokyo! I wanted to just have a carry-on, but I was worried if I'd be able to do it because, like you, I'll also need to bring warmer layers and maybe account for the rain. Seeing you pack for your 10-day trip in just a carry-on gives me reassurance that I can pack for my 8-day trip :') your suitcase seems to fit so much though. I have packing cubes, but my suitcase always seems to run out of room so easily...

[melaniemcneil]

Good job. Reminder, in the US all those little toiletry liquids (and toothpaste, etc) have to be packed in a 1 quart bag for carry-on. I don't know if the see-through zipper bag you're using qualifies here.

[Nonakle]

No. In Europe maxx 19x15x6 for hand luggage. They often have you fit your luggage in a measuring rack. If it not fits, you have to check it in as luggage proper. At a hefty premium.
Her personal item is the size of the typical hand luggage.

[zuzaj]

I live in the UK currently, shortly I’ll be travelling Poland and Italy, and luggage here is tricky part. Most of cheap Europe airlines let you take only one bag in size 20x25x40 cm in price of ticket, any additional luggage is paid and sometimes costs more than whole ticket and place 😅

I understand why ppl love and try to do "carry on only travel". I sometimes do that, too, if it's a business-related trip, and/or already visited the destination several times, or if I know the destination well, like REALLY well (and can communicate with locals without any problems).
That means, if the travel doesn't fit these categories, I usually bring my check-in suitcase.

I DO have two rules:
1. I pack some snacks (cuz you never know) & underwear for two nights along with the essentials in a carry-on.
2. I don't pack more than I can carry by myself.

Also, when I worked as a tour guide, I avoided bringing Jeans, because jeans are casual (not versatile) and heavy (it took ages to dry them).

✈️✈️✈️ Next Trip? Copenhagen - but by car and ferry as I live in western-north part of Poland. Can't wait for the CPH vlog! Greets from Poland! ❤

Wondering if you can do a video upon your return. Review your outfits. What you wore and didn’t wear. Also, did you wish you had anything you didn’t pack

[donnabrice]

Very organized and efficient ! Would be nice to see a pop of colour with 1 extra top . Enjoy your trip!
