I've been travelling fulltime since 2017. Here is an update on what I've taken with me over the past 4 years. I have everything refined now so it suits my need no matter where I am in the world. Hopefully, this will give you a few ideas when we're all ready to get back travelling; maybe this year? :)

Book Recommendations:

1. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo (Konmari)

2. A Monk's Guide to a Clean House and Mind by Shoukei Matsumoto

3. How to Sit by Thich Nhat Hanh

List of Everything I Own:

Ted Talk - The Art of Spending Time

My Design YouTube Channel:

Stay safe and I hope this video has given you some ideas on how to pack, and hopefully, we’ll all be travelling again soon.

Thanks for watching,

Amazing. Sitting at work watching Youtube videos about minimalism, travel, and one-bag makes me want to quit. Alas, my skillset binds me to this location.

That is actually one of the best packing video on yt. No bs. I've travelled a lot lately (business), but didn't have to keep it all that clean. I had 23kg luggage everytime etc, but I optimized my packing everytime and it really improved over the last half a year. I can imagine yours is almost perfect by now. Toothpaste pills is my discovery here! Thanks for this! Good luck mate

[LowkeyLukeDnB]

appreciate the detail of you writing every item when they're laid out. And showing what you took for the short trip as well. Love videos like this. Foldable sunglasses is a genius idea. Never thought of that.

I'd already say I'm a minimalist who travels, but honestly this is life goals. I hope to be in a similar position in 10 years time.

Toothpaste pills are such a great invention! Much less waste and higher packing density. Love them.

[PackingLess]

Very nice packing list, I'll have to check out those glasses. The dopp kit looks interesting too

[LePubPattaya]

Michael. Best minimalist packing video I’ve seen.

Excellent Video, glad that I stumbled across. good tips as well

Very helpful perspective - both what you carry and the four categories - as I plan to go nomadic in the next year or so. Question: How many liters is your current bag, and what is your typical loaded bag weight? Many thanks!

[nelsonkskim]

Sir, if i may ask, do you mind how you keep your clothes clean? Thank you so much for your sharings.

[MikeDeeOfficial]

I love that you have a PlayStation controller. At first I thought, surely that's a bit unecessary and takes up a lot of space! Then you explained why you have it :) totally worth it.

Also, is it a Hull accent I hear?

I love shirts colors and foldable sunglasses and the organisation.. playstation fr dad ❤️

[Christopher-mxhd]

where you get those foldable sunglasses from?

[paskalnikita]

1:08 Where I can fin those red and white "shoes to fold" ? How they are called?

[udayshome]

Couple of questions, if I may -
❶ I noticed you have the same trimmer I have. How do you prevent it from accidentally turning itself on when in transit. I have had that happen to me on several occasions as the power button is pretty sensitive.
❷ How do you lash on the water bottle to the side of your bag? ... a video on that would be helpful.

[DarrylCK]

Great video. A book you may enjoy if you have not already read it is Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki.

[LockDoggg]

This is a great video! Glad I found your channel!
