PACK WITH ME - a weekend trip in a backpack + minimal packing tips

Hey friends! I’m back with a fun little travel-related video as I chat about how I successfully packed a weekend away in a backpack. As simple as it sounds, it did require a bit of planning to execute, especially for someone who used to be a chronic overpacker. In this video, we’ll go through why and how to pack minimally, some of the efficient travel products & organizers I love to use, along with the outfits I brought along with me on this weekend getaway. #minimalistpacking #falloutfits #packingtips

Best tip of any "pack with me" carry on only videos is the rule "No just in case items." That always causes over packing and lugging around items you don't need or won't wear on your trip. Also, the idea of packing things because you just don't know what mood you will be in for what to wear so I end up taking something I won't wear. Know what you like alto wear at home, think about what you might be doing on your trip and don't be afraid of wearing something more than once. With many of us working from home and going out less I am sure most people wear the same thing more than once. Think comfortable, think classic. Plan specific mix and match items. You will be less stressed and relaxed. Be confident with your choices and minimalism. Think light weight.

I stopped using traditional packing cubes or pouches for the smaller items, instead I use the bags that I am going to want to take on my trip like packing underthings and socks into my "daybag" or a travel towel into a drybag instead of the pouch it comes with so I can use the drybag at the beach to protect my valuables. Hope that makes sense!

Now I need to know what’s in your bag? Lol. Do you pack sunnies? Lip balm? Etc.??

[Beebee-ji]

Its a bit weird but I always seem to have more clothing then I actualy use because its the norm. I usually have 5 tot 10 key outfits I always wear and wear like what? 3 outfits a week andi have 1 lounge outfit. I think even for a week trip you do not need thatmuch unless you normally have a different outfit ever day or multable outfits a day.

Is there any way to turn off that annoying repetitive generic background music? I’d rather hear what you are saying and it is very distracting.
