    I love to see a list in the description that lists the clothes (5 tanks, 2 short sleeve, etc.) I would also love a follow-up after the trip to share what did and didn't work and if you ended up taking the jeans. Especially fun to review the new items you bought.

    Thanks for your packing tips! I went on a river cruise with 1 carry on and a personal bag, then to Italy where I traveled for 10 days. I left my luggage behind, bought a small backpack and did laundry in my sink each night. It was too hot so I was usually back in my room mid day for a shower and rest until early dinner and "passajotta" Quite an adventure! Just bought a light rolling backpack to be ready for the next good deal. (75 year old adventurer again, after 50+ years being without much travel!) 🎉

    Hack for wearing Allbirds with orthotics: order a size up and put the orthos *underneath* the allbirds footbed. Works great! I get the benefits of the washable footbed plus the all the extra support. PS love the cat stealing the show 🥰🐱

    I love Royal Robbins. I travel with 4 skorts that I treat like they are gold bars because I am not sure how long they will make them. I was trying to find a fifth color but I can’t find it in Canada and it seems Royal Robbins forbids US stores to ship to Canada. 😩. Their tops are also amazing. The t-shirts dry quickly and the blouses are perfect for layering…they also dry very fast after washing…or if you are caught in the rain. I will be doing an overnight in Miami in February and hopefully I will be able to find a store that sells the color that I want in my size. I already have blouses and t-shirts to match it!
    Happy travels! ❤️🌹

    I've only been to Iceland once, but it was in October and even though I'm from Finland (where autumn and winter weather can be very cold and/or miserable and wet), it was still a shock to the system 😂
    The closest comparison I can make is taking a cold, wet and windy day in the UK and subtracting maybe 10-15 degrees Celsius from the temperature 😁
    ETA: I think I remember reading somewhere that Iceland is among the tallest countries in the world, so you might have some luck finding jeans there, but I really understand not wanting to count on it. It's a bit like I only feel confident in finding clothes in certain countries as an above average height, plus sized woman.

    I've been so intrigued by the Cotapaxi suitcase-style pack since watching this video. Can anyone comment whether 1) the 42L size Allpa shown here is ever rejected as carry-on (especially internationally) since it's 25 x 16 x 7 inches (64 x 41 x 18 cm), and 2) whether the coating flaking mentioned in the first generation of the bag was corrected in later versions or is just something worth dealing with for all the great features? I'm debating getting the 35L just to be on the safe side, but it would be so nice to have the extra room, and I also like that the 42L has load lift straps. - Thanks again for a great video!

I love your packing tips and suggestions, but I'm around 70±, and nobody wants to see me in leggings or silky fabrics. LOL. And my chesticles need a whole lot more support than ... well, let's just say they need sturdy fabric with rugged straps. Otherwise, running for a bus just aint gonna happen. I also pack for heart attack first aid, low dose chewable aspirin.

    Thanks so much for all of your fabulous one-bag packing videos! I come from a family of carry-on-only veteran travelers, but have long been in search of the perfect one-bag pack, for both international and domestic travel.
    I’m curious to know how you feel about the size/capacity difference between the 35 & 42L Allpa packs, after your trip. I’ve tried many different brands over the years (OrigAudio, eBags, etc), while trying not to spend a fortune, but find that many one-bag packs (especially those with clamshell openings) end up feeling extremely unbalanced. The Allpa looks to be much more easily organized than the others.
    Looking forward to any follow-up thoughts you may have, regarding whether you’d choose the 42L size for another trip that has a less demanding pack-list, or would stick with 35L for shorter or single-destination trips.

    If you are flying Icelandair to Iceland, they may make you check that bag. It looks a bit big for Icelandair. They have gotten super strict. NOW, that said, I did notice folks who arrived at the gate later got to keep their carryons and many were bigger. So, perhaps that is a tip... arrive at the gate just prior to boarding and not too long before.
    The folks in Seattle when we travelled Icelandair back home to Norway made me check my carryon. My husband had taken a different flight a week earlier and his carryon was actually bigger, but he is stronger and managed to shove it into their little measuring stand. I couldn't and mine got checked at the gate. It was a wheeled version but very slim... but I could not get the wheels into their stand. Good luck and fingers crossed. (Folks in Europe had no problem with my bag, just in the states coming back home. So maybe you will be ok.)

    Do not expect to get that bag onto Iceland Air, the planes from the EU are usually smaller than the ones from the US, since the trip is not as long. it is the reason I went with the smaller Cotopaxi Allpa then the larger one. Do not be shocked if you are asked to gate check that bag. You know by your travels in EU that airlines are strict about weight and bag size. Flying an American airline is a way around this, just as long as they are not using one of their alliance members airline. There are currently only two companies that fly into Iceland, that is Iceland Air and a budget airline run by… you got it, Iceland Air. Iceland Air, which I researched, is very strict about overhead baggage, is the reason when I researched my Allpa, that I got the 35 Liter, because of overpacking and bag expansion, i would be pushing the limit of their overhead bin allowance. I am probably too late to send this to you before your trip. I would HIGHLY recommend you squeeze the bag down and mail things home. US does not have the customs problems as the EU does with shipping things home.
