Happy New Year everyone 🎉

Happy new year 🍻
Happy New Year From Australia 🦘
Happy New Year
Two things I add: a strip of solid detergent and a dry bag. The dry bag is great for keeping your dirty clothes separate from your clean clothes. Mid trip, you can use the dry bag and the detergent to wash your clothes - no reliance on hotel laundry facilities. A larger dry bag can also cover your backpack and protect your camera gear if you’re caught hiking in the rain.
Two extra items, but they are multifunctional and allow you to pack even fewer clothes.
A great idea thank you George!
This is an excellent idea! Could save you a good few 💵 buying detergent at the hotel! That’s so clever! I’ll keep that in mind for my next trips.
I took a similar backpack to Spain for two weeks last summer and the most helpful thing I brought was a pack of laundry detergent sheets. You can dissolve those things in hotel sinks, do your laundry wherever you're staying, hang it up to dry, and only have to pack clothes for four or five days at most without getting stinky.
Great tip 😊. Didn’t know about laundry detergent sheets.
A really good idea thank you!
Or you can just use the bar soap from the hotel.
I never heard of detergent sheet .That’s a great idea .I just use the shower gel in the hotel for my washing .👍🇦🇺
Fabulous video! I learned how to pack exactly like this from my husband, who is a serious traveler and hiker. We take 3 shirts, 3 underwear, three socks, and a pair of shorts or joggers. We wear a shirt, pants, underwear, socks, shoes, sweater, and jacket on the plane. Every few days we go into a laundromat to wash clothes. You can go this way forever. We have lived entire semesters in Switzerland with this packing formula. Have a great trip, it is a beautiful country!
Great tips thank you! Looking forward to it 😄
Nicholas, I am happy for your being able to go on this trip in May. It looks like you have given much thought as to what to take with you. I ask you to please consider taking a scarf. It gets windy up in the mountains, and being able to keep your neck warm will make a big difference. I am a 78 year old grandma and I cannot help myself from trying to prevent the younger generations from experiencing discomforting situations if possible.
I always enjoy viewing your videos and always give them a thumbs up.
Hope your 2023 is one filled with fun adventures and happy times. ( :
I appreciate that, maybe a scarf is a good idea 😄 thank you!!
I used to pack one weeks of clothing in my 15-18 liter backpack befor i heard about minimalizm.
Its just easyer to travel on the plane whit an cary-on.
This year i backpacked germany whit an 40 pack, but next year im planing to just use the smaller one.
Happy new Year everyone !
I'm traveling through Japan right now and one thing I learned that if you use jackets, hoodies and a warm long sleeve, you probably won't need to take more than one of each or multiple t-shirts. Thanks for the great video
Love your video. So many people say they are minimalist and then they pack way more than they need. Appreciate the tips - thank you!
I’m definitely not a minimalist but I do respect the idea of keeping things down to a minimum and I continually try to recycle my stuff (especially things I don’t use).
Yes I feel the same way .I take a bid suitcase all the time and a carry one luggage as well .Half is full of presents for the relatives.I usually buy stuff overseas because it’s cheaper and better quality then what we have at home .I feel that since I paid for the luggage allowance I might as well use it 🇦🇺
Wishing you a happy new year, dear Nicholas. Thank you for producing high quality and entertaining content.
Happy new year!
I'm from Toronto and our airport has been a mess lately, partly with regards to lost luggage. Nice to see ways to circumvent the whole baggage process - thanks!
As always a great video. I use a Fuji gfx camera and I reckon it will also fit in that little brevite bag. But a way to reduce your packing might be to consider swapping your underwear and socks for merino versions. You only need 2 pairs of each as they can be worn for 2-3 days if you need to and can be washed in the shower or bath each night and will be dry by morning. I use icebreaker and it’s excellent gear. Same applies to their t-shirts
So inspiring! Getting inspiration for our May trip to Hungary, with a backpack as well!
It’s amazing how even I bring so little clothes to each trip, I end up not using all of them! Have a great time to your trip!
Enjoy yours as well!!
Stone Cold stunnered that like button 😂
Nice video. I’ve been traveling with one bag for about 6 years now. But always good to get more ideas of slimming it down even more.
I'm not a minimalist at all but eversince I found my new hobby of adventure motorcycle I've been cycling through minimalist travel ideas since I want to travel light and make sure I have every single things into my bike. Anyway nice video gives me idea what to pack for my next adv
Nice job! I found value in the content and can appreciate the humor. Subscribed.
Amazing video and recommendations! I’ve saved this video as I’m a complete beginner traveler and going for a hiking trip this year which I dream about for a very long time. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I'm going on a trip with some friends to Disney World in May for a week and watching this is making me think about how I could probably get away with packing basically everything I'd need in my backpack.
Enjoy Disney!!
@@NicholasGarofola Thanks! Have fun on your trip! It sounds really cool.
When you travel often it's only a matter of time learning and knowing how to pack according to your needs.
Thanks for quality content and happy new year! I often struggle a bit with shoes when packing light for one week business trips.
Happy new year!
Great video. Good luck and have fun on your trip!
Thanks so much!
How fun Switzerland! 😊 ❤Stone Colder Stunner❤ Happy New Year 🥳
Happy new year!
hey I’m doing this but just with a 8.5L bag lol. clothes were the hardest part to figure out.
good call on the proof 72 hour shirts, I also bought a few for travel. what I do with mine is pack them along with 4 pairs of boxers and three pairs of socks into a small eagle creek compression cube. really presses them down into a pretty compact area. rather than rolling them I fold everything as few times as possible and stack it all like a big sandwich. zipping up the cube is a little tricky but I do it by “pinch-zipping”.
so that’s 3 shirts, 4 pairs of undies and 4 pairs of socks in my bag.
then I wear a 4th t-shirt and a button-down shirt as the 5th shirt, my 5th pair of underwear and 5th pair of socks when traveling. the button-down shirt is really clutch because it can easily be worn with the t-shirt, or by itself. it also can be ventilated if its too warm, and looks nice for fancier occasions.
5 outfits total with 8.5L of space. anything is possible with a bit of creativity haha. having one bag is great I think you’ll enjoy it. cheers.
the perfect timing is insane.
Happy new year! all the best for you and your channel in 2023!
Thank you as always!! Happy new year 😄
Next trip will be a 3 days with just backpack in Milan in January, so I expect a less forgiving weather. By the way, I heard by a lot of people that you can comfortably wash your underwear in the shower and let it dry during the night. Should work fine if you pack a soap bar.
Gotta try too in my next longer trip.
@Charné Lombard cool, thank you for the tips
Of course you can Pino.
Enjoy your trip!
@@NicholasGarofolaThank you! Enjoy Switzerland, not very far from Milan! Go check there too!
If it's too cold, a hairdryer will help. Just ask around, someone will have one 😉
Not bad. A couple of recommendations though, I would definitely bring a different jacket if you are only going with one. Something packable and more multipurpose like a rain jacket would probably serve you better. Also, an Anker two in one outlet and powerbank could be game changing for you since you are bringing multi devices and lack a power bank.
Plus one for your toiletry kit though if that's really all you are bringing, that's awesome.
Happy new year brother.. Have learnt a lot this year from your videos..thank you!!
Happy new year!
Happy new year buddy! 😊 enjoy your travel as well! Stay safe !
Happy new year!!
Lolol!! Stone Cold Stunner!! Happy New Year and Best Wishes!
Happy new year!
your videos are always so relaxing
Thank you man! Got a lot out of this!
I'm with you...an absolute cold day in hell before I don't bring my camera with me. I too travel with a full frame lens, some accessories and about a weeks worth of clothes for one bagging. Sink/drybag laundry has been the way to go for me. I'm down to a 34L bag but I'm pretty sure I can get down to a 26L with adjustments.
Good Luck Nicholas on your trip to Switzerland! I’m trying to pack lightly and minimal but then theres so what if moments. Lol. Great system!! 🎉🎉
thanks mate!
Can be chilly in Switzerland in May. I definitely would bring the hoody with you.
Works as pillow in the plane and you can wear it underneath your trucker jacket. Best regards from Europe
While watching the video I was thinking about a brand I personally love so much that focuses on minimal travel. It is called "tropicfeel", and they craft their products using sustainable, recycled materials. They offer sneakers, backpacks, clothing and various accessories. What I enjoy the most about their products is that they are very versatile and most of them are also packable/foldable. I was able to travel 1 week across the Mediterranean in a cruise carrying their Nest backpack only. So just wanted to mention it in case someone needs to find some products to travel minimally.
Looking at it now, really like this brand! Thanks Claudia 😄✌️
I'll second this, the Tropicfeel Canyon shoes are designed to be worn without socks and I took them on a two week trip to Thailand, which cut down on the washing I needed to do.
I try to stick with two carry on bags, for I hate dealing check in. 1 duffle for clothing, and everything else in my backpack. I try to pack smart based on what I’ll be doing on the trip. People say that the best plan is no plan which I agree to an extent. I need to have at least a blueprint of what to do along with extra time for the unexpected.
Agreed
i had been looking into the brevite backpack for so long and this video just makes me more inclined to pick one up, just liked and subbed! fire video man love the content!
Great to hear!
I got the Bellroy crossbody bag thanks to you and now I see you got a Brevite backpack which I already own wow 😊
Hope you like it!
This video inspired me a lot!!!
I’m excited to hear how you like Switzerland:)
Regards from Bern, Switzerland
Beautiful place🇨🇭
happy new year brother and really great video i enjoyed it
Happy new year!!
I'm traveling light for my next trip, going to try this, thanks for the video
Have fun!
Like the video give me more insight about minimalism travel. I have a plan to visit Morocco this year. :)
You could easily get by with two pairs of socks and two of underwear. Try wool socks by Bombas, Smartwool or Darn Tough. You can wear them for days without any stink. Two pair should suffice, probably without any washing either. For underwear, try a synthetic brand like ExOfficio. Wash a set in the the shower or sink (I just use the hotel soap), and set to dry overnight. Two pair is nice for a rotation, but you can easily get away with one. If you are busy and can't wash them at night, you can usually stretch to two days of wear, especially if you're not super active or sweaty on a given day. Good luck on your trip and have fun!
Best packaging ever
Happy new year Nicholas!
You too Robert!
My toiletries:
I wash my body and hair with 1. shampoo (bar), for lips 2. lotion or even 3. hair oil (instead of conditioner, also great care for your hands and feet). I don't use any deo so I sweat less because my skin can breathe. Plus 4. travel toothbrush, 5. toothpaste (pills), 6. reuseable q-tip and 7. hand sanitizer.
Fits in a small zipper bag 😉
Very interesting. I'm thinking about getting a bag such as the one you've got due to it's size, I'm currently with a very small personal backup.
I might be travelling soon so this video is in perfect timing
Happy New Year!!! Love your videos ❤ Looking forward to some great content this year ❤
Happy new year!!
My kind of stuff-subscribed🤟
I didn't know that Sergio Busquets had a RUclips channel
Lmao 😂
Am I the only one who packs for 14 day trip only 3 shirts 1 spare pare of pants and 3 spare pare of underwear? Just do a little laundry before you go to sleep. Honestly, I tell you as radical minimalist, we don't need so much clothes..
Totally agree, I pack for two days, and add a spare. Wash everyday, that’s the trick. I don’t carry dirty clothes, until my last travel day !
Great vid
Gracias!
Thanks for the tips, Nicholas! I've been a minimalist for years now but I always learn something new with your videos :) May I ask what places are you planning to visit in Switzerland? I live in Zurich, in case you need someone to show you around :) Enjoy your trip!
I'll be in Geneva for a few days, the rest of the trip is fairly unplanned 😅
Really awesome
Glad you think so!
I am doing a 7 day trip to London in July and I want to pack minimally with a backpack and a wristlet that will fit in the backpack.
Huge fan of your videos man!
Also, I just recently went to Switzerland, so if you want any recommendations or advice, happy to help!
How great was it? 😄
Your videos are awesome!!!
Thank you so much!
agree on ipad mini. its ideal. i have been to 75 countries. after about half of them i realized the ipad mini was idea and nothing else necessary
Happy new yearr🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year!
3:28 spotted a Timex Expedition Field right there
You had me at stone cold stunner 🤣
Feliz año nuevo✨
Happy new year!!
I’m going to travel south east asia for one month! Since i’ll be taking low cost airlines I can bring only one carry on for free, which has to be under 7kg (15lb). I’m already nervous because I need to bring a laptop for work and possibly a camera. Glad I found your video tho!
Enjoy your trip!!
Hey I know you said you weren’t feeling showing us your haircut routine. But I’ll add to the asks so hopefully one day it happens lol.
Thanks for your vids!
thanks!
great video. fall in love with the f&t trucker jacket. what colour and size do you have?.. not sure about the fit. cheers!
I got a large. I’m 6’1, about 170lbs if that helps.
You should try merino wool socks, they can be worn for days , wash and dry quickly, this would save you more room. I wear 1 pair and pack one extra . We spent 2 weeks in Switzerland, it was awesome and somewhat more formal than we are ( take at least 1 collared shirt, just for the sake of a restaurant). Its a beautiful country and very safe, you will have an awesome time. If you haven't heard, grab lunch in the grocery stores, they have a great selection of pre made food at very reasonable prices and the food courts in the train stations are nice as well. Take many pictures, and have a great time
I went to Iceland for 8 days using only a 2OL backpack and I’m not a minimalist by any means I have a severe back injury due to a childhood bully I can’t carry more than a 25L backpack.
What’s your minimalist skincare routine?😊I’d like to see it 💙
Great idea!
Thank you
Welcome!
When you travel; what camera and lens combo do you use?
Hey mate, how about a travel budget video?
what do you do for other hygiene things like small scissors for trimming, nail cutters, shaving blades etc which are not sometimes allowed on the plane?
I watched this while I packed for my trip to Europe lol.
How are yo?- amazing ~ 👐
wool socks mean you can take half as many. they truly dont stink. darn tough are best
I am always in a hunt for more minimalism while traveling! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I was wondering if you are not afraid of losing your images/videos - so what about backing up? You will not take a HD with you or do you backup via your iPad?
Probably won’t be backing up on my trip 😄

I am not sure if you usually keep a reusable water bottle.
REI has a great travel toothbrush called TOOB that has a refillable toothpaste tube in the handle. I’m trying to figure out how to minimize my toiletries: Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, face wash, lip balm, lotion (sometimes), hand sanitizer, toothbrush/paste, q-tips, hair product. I take the smallest amount possible but there’s still a lot of items. Advice welcome!
I wash my body and hair with 1. shampoo (bar), for lips 2. lotion or even 3. hair oil (instead of conditioner, also great care for your hands and feet).

I use empty contact lenses cases for everything in semi-solid or liquid fase such us hand cream+chapstick (a perfect way to use that last quantity at the very bottom of every tube), hair mask+conditioner (curly hair), curl cream+hair gel 😊 it’s a fine way to have everything in the right amount and less space. Try it!
Love the WWE reference at the beginning 😄
Welll, today we had 14 degrees in Switzerland 😊
Too cold for me 😅
What is the watch you are wearing? Really want something similar! Thanks
Timex Expedition
*my favorite tip:* handwash socks & underwear while i'm in the shower. roll up & squeeze (rather than ringing) to get as much water out & hang to dry (~24hrs, more in a humid environment). regardless of the duration of the trip, i only need 3 days of each (rotation + back up).
p.s. its also a good excuse for a long hot shower on vacation
No excuses needed for a shower 🙃
@@NicholasGarofola everyone showers! but it's an excuse for a lonnng one haha
I am curious what camera and lens you are traveling with. I also wanted to see how you packed the camera, lens, drone, batteries, chargers, cables etc in that very small compartment.
I am thinking about buying this bag and I need to be able to fit a Sony full frame camera body, two lenses and charger, cables etc.
I have a Sony a6500(so a little smaller than full frame), sigma 30mm, and Sony 20mm. I can fit everything pretty well but these are fairly small lenses especially the 20mm
That’s a big wallet for a minimalist 😉
Shoes??
You should learn to ranger roll your clothes! It's a very useful skill we learn in the military to pack a lot of clothes in confined spaces.
Can you make a video on a full house tour
Maybe, going to do a kitchen tour soon
Does that backpack meet airline carry-on dimensions/weight?
It does
Floss? Shampoo? SOAP??
Do you shave? Do you comb your hair? Items need to be packed to accomplish these daily tasks. What camera do you use?
What camera and lense do you use? Thanks,
Sony a6500, Sigma 30mm lens. All gear in the description
I think you're gonna be freezing, May's cold you won't need shorts and t- shirts. It's cold, I warn you.
Can you link the passport holder pls

Do you not keep a case on your phone?
I don’t 😅
