The upside of cold weather travel is you can re-wear some clothes a bit more. The key is multiple thin layers instead of bulky knits/sweaters. I also like a separate pajamas but I do something I can wear out in an emergency. Like leggings/shorts and a tshirt or a simple dress.
@@veganderlust I didn't think they WERE PJs. Looked like a yoga outfit to me. I'm surprised you felt awkward. I thought Kiwis were as casual as us Aussies
I agree with you about not doing the bulky sweaters but last time I don't think I took ENOUGH. Didn't take any sweaters at all - just merino long-sleeve t-shirts. This time I'm planning to take some thin merino sweaters too. But I've also tightened my thermal layer game and have become pro pleather vs denim
Thx for the video! Each time I read '' minimalist packing'', I' m disappointed because it's far from being the case... However, your way of packing is minimalist! I'm heading for tenerife for 8 days with a 16L backpack. And it fits.
Finally, a truly minimalist travel video! I would love to travel that long with only a personal item bag. The longest I've gone was a 3 day trip to my brother's house and was able to use some of his wife's shampoo and conditioner and other toiletries, so I didn't have to bring all of that. Two months is impressive!
I travel like this. I see videos of 40L-80L backpacks, and I get anxious. I carry at most a 25L backpack, but one time I traveled for 12 days with a 14L backpack.
I’m in Australia right now and it stresses me out just seeing all the other travellers with their massive backpack at the back and a medium sized one at the front 😅
@@veganderlust I'm an Aussie, and considering our mild climate you gotta wonder wtf they're carrying there. Although I remember my first backpacking trip and I took a massive backpack (but most of it was guidebooks, books and papers) 🤭 Thank goodness we live digitally now (and I never take my laptop with me - but I don't need it) Maybe they're camping when not in the city?? Extended hikes thru our great national parks etc
The longest trip I've done with a 14L was a week - but it was in winter. Now that I travel more minimally I could easily see myself taking very little in summer (I just avoid that cos $ and crowds). Although I did do a summer trip fairly recently and had to do checked luggage! Summer is Xmas time in my country and most of this was presents (I have a large family). I took very few clothes and they were all very light except for some 3/4 denim pants that I wore on plane with some trainers + lightweight jacket. I was gone a month and regretted none of what I took and needed no more. The items I took for me would have easily fit in a daypack - including the sandals I took
@@susie9893 well I guess a lot of backpackers like that travel to more countries at a time, still a lot of stuff. But at my first backpacking trip I also had one massive backpack and didn’t use half of the things I packed 🫣
Awesome packing video! Although I travel with a backpack and carry-on only, I still felt it was too much. I'm definitely going to try your method. Thank you so much for this.
Great video. I always take pyjamas as well as I also don't like to sleep in my outside clothes. They are also good to wear if you are lazing about in your hotel room or apartment. I like you backback with the yellow lining because you can see everything in your bag.
Great vid, entertaining and informative. I always like when the presenter actually models the clothes they are taking as I’m a visual person. Don’t suppose you know the approximate weight of all this? I’d imagine it would be safe within the 7kg carry on allowance. Have a great time in my country (Australia)😊
Thank you 😊. I’m not sure exactly but I think it’s a bit more than 7kg because of the laptop. Hopefully there’s better weather in Australia ☀️, here in New Zealand it’s not that great at the moment 🌧️🙈
@@veganderlust Thanks for reply, the weather’s not usual and predictable atm, us southern states are having an unseasonal and hopefully short-lived cold snap🥶!
Hi! Thanks :). Actually, since I filmed this video, I got a new backpack and it opens like a suitcase. I got a very colourful model but they have more simple colours as well. I'm planning on doing a video about it, for now, I wrote a post about it in case you want to check it out: veganderlust.com/cotopaxi-allpa-35l-review/
A few things I wondered about: did you pack any: writing instrument, notebook, kleenex, spork, first aid? Thanks for the nice video! Oh, and can you relink your hoodie? The link isn't working. :)
Hi! I’m glad you liked the video 😊. No I didn’t pack anything to write with, the only time I used a pen was at the airport to fill out a form and they provide pens anyway. And if I want to take some notes, I just do it on my phone. When I travel in summer I don’t really bring kleenex but we ended up buying a box during our 3 weeks vanlife in NZ, in winter I always pack some. I used to travel with a spork but realised I don’t really use it so I don’t bring it anymore. Actually I don’t bring any first aid, maybe I should pack some essentials but for the most parts I travel to places where there’s the next pharmacy is not too far away, so no extreme off-road adventure. That’s weird that the link isn’t working, it works for me. You can just Google the company, it’s from Cotopaxi. Hope I didn’t miss any of your questions, let me know if you have some more 🙂
Sorry you copped bad weather. For a New Zealand summer trip I would always take lightweight hiking trousers that zip off to shorts, lose the dress and swap towel for a travel towel
Yeah, the weather has not been good 🙈. I didn’t need the dress in New Zealand but today I arrived in sunny Australia and hopefully there’s plenty of days I can wear it here ☀️. I don’t like the way travel towels feel, creeps me out 😅, but you’re right it would be more convenient
@@veganderlust yeah I'd probably have taken a dress (or one of my skirts - all of which can also be worn as dresses 👍). But I guess it would've depended what the weather was predicting. Being an Aussie it's a much shorter flight to NZ for me - easier to do a last minute weather check. But I definitely wouldn't have taken that towel. Maybe a decorative travel towel (I'm still trying to find 1 I love) that can double as a sarong. I know ppl who swear by the Turkish towel but I tried this 😖 not for me. (But I'm not one for sunbathing - we don't recommend that in Australia - skin cancer cases very high)
Thank you! Unfortunately, I couldn’t use my day bag I wrote about in my blog because it broke just before I set off on my trip. I still really like it though, I used it many years and washed it many times before it broke. It‘s from Gary Mash, an Austrian brand but I think they ship world wide. In the video I have a very basic day bag from Adore June.
Lol Wow thanks for sharing! Can you do a video upload about if a person has a husband how can they become a minimalist in their ‘bedroom’ that will prevent them from having a collapsing closet(probably from the builder grade) from all the female’s over consumerism of things as well when he appears to have nothing or very little be blessed God bless you?
Wow, that`s really minimalist.when I travel, nomatter how little I try to pack, I usually end up with a full suitcase and for a 2 week travel? I mostly end up purchasing 1 kind of cloth or the other because I packed too little. Thanks so much for sharing, I have subscribed to follow your adventure and support you
Thanks so much, means a lot 😊. It helps me to lay out all clothes I want to bring and then think again if I really need all of them and if I can wear it in every combination 🙂
Wow I need to be like you! I took a 50L bag on my last backpacking trip and it did get a bit heavy at times. Even though my bag was so big it still felt like there was nothing inside it! Thanks for the awesome tips! This is my reminder to get new packing cubes.
My old bag was about that size and it was so inconvenient and heavy. And then I realised I’m not even using everything I’m carrying around with me. Now I just feel so much lighter while travelling (and not just weight wise 😉)
The tip with traveling first in the summer is good - I did that too. There are so much packable backs today - I love my Osprey collapsible daypack, perfect for shopping - it doubles as a dirty laundry bag - and affordable for 30€. Because of back pain I had to reduce my luggage - but I still use a heavy deuter pack that's really comfortable. Now I can even travel with a 30l pack for 1 week in winter - or longer if I wash my clothes - some warm merino clothes really help.
@@veganderlust you need to do a winter travel minimalist packing video, please. I'm planning a 6 week trip to Canada and I'm TRYING to keep things down
@@susie9893 I wanted to do one but it’s too late, it’s already spring 😄. I recommend layers, I wear one pair of jeans and bring tights and a skirt, if it’s super cold you can also wear the tights underneath the jeans. And wear the thickest hoodie and pack one more. Good luck on your trip 🙂
@@veganderlust yeah I'm going to Canada so it's kinda extreme cold. I've been before - wanted to do better this time. I was quite cold last time - didn't take enough (yeah, that sounds a bit strange for this thread, I know) and didn't take the right stuff. I think my plan is better this time but I'm still hunting around for tips
Thank you so much 😊. I already arrived in New Zealand yesterday but it’s gonna take some time until I can get the new videos online but I got some old ones until then 😉
Great video! This is pretty much my set up too (without the camera gear though). It is so much easier to pack minimally for a warm climate than it is for a cold one! Usually I'm personal item only on trips but I'm currently struggling to pack for a 6+ month trip that includes winter in some places. Watching your video gives me hope that I can fit 3 pairs of shoes in my bag though. Do you know the capacity of your bag (25L? 30L?)?
Thank you 😊. Unfortunately I don’t know the capacity of my bag and I can’t look it up anywhere since it’s such an old bag and they don’t make it anymore 😬. I hope you have an amazing trip, wish you all the best for it 😊
I too am packing for 6 month trip from sea to alps then UK. It’s a challenge because I want my binoculars and my hammock and a bunch of food storage containers. Atypical I know but lifestyle enhancing.
@@annekramer6740 v challenging but I think you'll be looking at 35L at least to fit all that stuff. Is the hammock essential tho? AND will you be using it for the entire trip? Could you take it but post home when done? or hire 1? The problem with so long a trip is that not only are you passing thru many climate zones but also experiencing a lot of different seasons. This means you have to pack for virtually any type of weather 😬 I find it easier to pack for winter only than a trip like that
@@veganderlust I'm guessing somewhere between 25-30L. Difficult to judge with that kind of fabric - looks like it might have more give than a lot of the fabrics for bags these days
Thank you for your suggestion :) but I don’t like how the material of microfibre feels. And for the beach I really like big towels where my whole body can fit on the towel and my feet don’t hang into the sand ;)
@@veganderlust I understand your preference but did you try washing your mf towel several times? They actually perform better the more times you wash them
I think it was about 10kg, so a bit more than allowed for a personal item bag 😬 but since the bag looks rather small nobody checked. Altogether I was pretty happy with the things I packed. Just the flip flops where annoying, it always took ages for them to dry, so a different pair would have been better since it rained a lot. Also I almost never used my laptop. And I had to buy a big bottle of sun tan lotion but I expected that anyway.
@@veganderlust thanks so much for your reply! The laptop tip is useful cuz I’m tossing up if I should bring mine and the thongs too as I’m wondering if I should bring different Sandals for beach and going out.
Для меня еще много лишнего😂 нет бритве, мылу в бруске ( только кусок шампуня), крему ддя каждой части тела, много одежды, лишняя пара обуви. Кошельком не пользуюсь очень давно.
I love that you have a boho minimalist wardrobe!! Very rarely see this. But yes, is a lot more tricky to pack minimally for winter travel. I don't take PJs, but like you I take lounging clothes that I can wear to bed (or for workouts, whatever - must be quickdry)
@@veganderlust too many minimalists have this very bland impersonal wardrobe composed exclusively of neutrals 😝 This made a nice change (Although I admit I tend to do neutrals too - but I lean heavily toward boho prints. I TRIED the stripes thing - NOT me!)
If it fits under the seat then it's gonna be fine for carryon. You only have to worry if you're only paying for personal item only (and that they rarely weigh or measure - except possibly Ryan and Wizz)
Thanks 😊. Yes, I’ve never had a problem with those toiletries in carry on. You can bring a razor on a plane. Once I also had those small toiletry scissor with me but I had to throw them out. So I’m not bringing them anymore, but I almost never used them anyway.
@@veganderlust amazing ! I never tried because I wouldn’t have thought they would allow a razor 😅 and also a nail file !! (Yours is metal from what I saw , isn’t it ? )
@@amoremiobello6192 yes, I have a metal nail file and never had any problems so far. But it can depend on the country you travel to, I’ve traveled a lot in Europe, also Asia and Australia with that backpack. I’ve not traveled to the states with this backpack (that was before my minimalist packing days), so I’m not sure if the guidelines are more strict in the US

Thank you so much for letting me know, I’ll add it now 😊
Bring a towel! Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy. What about the liquids bag?
I brought a towel and you can see all the liquids I brought, just the toothpaste, sun lotion and face lotion 🙂

Для меня еще много лишнего😂 нет бритве, мылу в бруске ( только кусок шампуня), крему ддя каждой части тела, много одежды, лишняя пара обуви. Кошельком не пользуюсь очень давно.
I love that you have a boho minimalist wardrobe!! Very rarely see this.
But yes, is a lot more tricky to pack minimally for winter travel.
I don't take PJs, but like you I take lounging clothes that I can wear to bed (or for workouts, whatever - must be quickdry)
Thank you 😊. Never considered my wardrobe boho but I guess you’re right it is 😅.
@@veganderlust too many minimalists have this very bland impersonal wardrobe composed exclusively of neutrals 😝 This made a nice change
(Although I admit I tend to do neutrals too - but I lean heavily toward boho prints. I TRIED the stripes thing - NOT me!)
@@susie9893 I know that a lot of minimalists wear bland colours but that’s definitely not me 😄
Great video! Can I ask what are the measurements of your bag when packed? Some airlines are very strict and have to be within 40x30x20cm
I’m sorry, I don’t know exactly. But if it’s not completely stuffed it fits the Ryanair measurements of 40x20x25cm
If it fits under the seat then it's gonna be fine for carryon. You only have to worry if you're only paying for personal item only (and that they rarely weigh or measure - except possibly Ryan and Wizz)
@@susie9893 yes, I fly with Ryanair a lot and I’ve seen them check personal item bags a lot of times.
Wow how amazing! Thank you so much for the tips
Have you tried minimalist packing before? :)
Awesome 👍🇨🇦😎
Thanks 😊
Great tips but can you travel in your carry on with razor and other toiletries stuffs you packed ?
Thanks 😊. Yes, I’ve never had a problem with those toiletries in carry on. You can bring a razor on a plane.
Once I also had those small toiletry scissor with me but I had to throw them out. So I’m not bringing them anymore, but I almost never used them anyway.
@@veganderlust amazing ! I never tried because I wouldn’t have thought they would allow a razor 😅 and also a nail file !! (Yours is metal from what I saw , isn’t it ? )
@@amoremiobello6192 yes, I have a metal nail file and never had any problems so far.
But it can depend on the country you travel to, I’ve traveled a lot in Europe, also Asia and Australia with that backpack. I’ve not traveled to the states with this backpack (that was before my minimalist packing days), so I’m not sure if the guidelines are more strict in the US
The only time I used my small toiletry scissors was to cut my identification photo for a metro pass 😂 super happy I included them
Happy trails! Thank you.
Thank you 😊. I’m already in New Zealand 🇳🇿😊

Amazing video and great advice! Tina is like Mary Poppins with all that stuff in a tiny bag, can’t believe it all fits!
😂 would be so cool to have Mary Poppins bag 😄
