I love that you are like "I'm bringing condoms, men should have them but I don't trust them to" cos it's so true and it's something that a lot of travellers don't mention at all because it's seen as tabu? I aways watch your videos when I am packing, a bit of a "pack with me" situation
You’re amazing! I loved your Mexico adventures and look forward to following you in this new chapter. I’m 67 and my wife is 66 and we have no plans on slowing down in our travels. Your packing is an inspiration! Safe travels and be well.
I was recently speaking to one my colleagues who is an eye specialist about contacts! I would be very careful with reusing dailies - especially if you are wearing them for long hours. Not only can they get dry and itchy, but dry contacts are more adhesive for dust/dirt etc. If those contacts are then placed back on the eye, it can cause a chronic inflammation of the surface, and even infections. I’m sure you’re very sensible but please take care!
I’m in the middle of planning a multi-climate trip and this was the most helpful video you have made yet!! I love all your videos but this one was great!
Love the video. Be careful with wearing daily contacts several days. The oxygen supply gets worse the longer they are used (even when you feel fine). If your eyes get dry/itchy/hurt take out the current lenses immedietly.
I brought this backpack after seeing you with it over a year ago and its THE best backpack for travelling! You can put so much stuff in there and its so comfortable!
Did a month long Europe trip in Oct 2019 with this backpack. It is the most comfortable pack ever! I see so many prefer the Osprey and I gave that one to my daughter when I found this Eagle Creek. Not going to lie... I didn't think you could get it all in but WAHLAH! :) Haha!! I was able to get my pack down to 6.5kg (14lbs) as I have some back problems and can't have it too heavy. Was able to interchange all the clothes was key. 2 pants, 1 short, 2 dresses and 5 shirts all interchanged with the bottoms and dresses. Worked out well with the Eagle Creek compression packing cubes. Awesome video!
I just starting wearing contacts too, dailies, and I wear them 3-4 weeks at a time--by using contact lens solution directly into my eyes prior to bed and upon waking up!!! I’ve NEVER had an issue despite others complaining at me saying I’m destroying my eyes. I’m 2.5 years in. No issues!🙏🏼
I can't believe you were able to fit all those clothes into a 40L backpack! I'm 17F and just bought a Farpoint Trek 55 for my first ever solo backpacking trip next summer (A bit early, but I didn't want to miss out on the black friday deals,) and I'm worried I won't be able to fit half the stuff you just fit into your backpack!
You absolutely will be able to fit it all in 🙌🏼🙌🏼 you may have to make some compromises but you’ve got lots of time to come up with an efficient packing system 😊
Love this video as I'm prepping for my own long trip. But I want to warn you that reusing daily contacts can be baaaad news. The reason being is dailies are not as breathable and therefore can trap more germs. I tried to do so out of desperation once and ended up with an ulcer on my eye. However I've been surprised that quite a few countries had my prescription available (I am quite blind and kept a copy of my written prescription last time I was traveling). Happy travels!
You look so pretty and in shape!! ❤️ However please if a contact lense is for one day DO NOT USE IT FOR LONGER. No matter who says what. Your vision is not a game. Buy 2 weeks ones or monthly ones if you dont want to open new ones each day, but dont overwear contacts, especially not regularly.
How did I just find this channel now? This is the first video of yours to ever come up on my explore page and I’m already subscribed!! Can’t wait for more vids
I’ve always loved your packing videos! I love how you have a clip of you wearing the clothes you’ll bring. It’s so new you not bring snorkel this time 😂🤣😂🤣
I don't know why, but this video is so cozy and beautiful, I think this is a new level of aesthetics.🥺😍 By the way, I also have the aesthetics of desserts, do you want to see? 🍞🧇
I absolutely love your videos. I will be going on a big trip to South America (3-4 months), and I find so many tips that I will use when I finally go. I got the same backpack from your recommendation. Can't wait to get that bad boy out.
I’ve used the box for my shampoo bars and I’m honestly not impressed. It takes up so much space, it still doesn’t dry any quicker and when on the move with your soaps wet it will leak all over your stuff. Also it broke after I’ve dropped it once. I think this box is great for my bars at home but for travelling I’ve gone back to the metal tins. If anyone has any tips please let me know!! About travelling with contacts, My mum usually just goes for monthly lenses which take up way less space :) And i got the coil put in in February and I checked with my doctor and he said it’s fine to use the cup after 6 weeks of having the coil in. I’ve been using it for about 6 months and nothing bad has happened yet. Also thank you so much for recommending this backpack. I got it last year and it’s revolutionary!
I have tip for metal tins! Put piece of baking paper on bottom of metal tins. After that you can put your shampoo bar inside wet and it will not stick to bottom. Saw this on some packing video couple of years ago and have use this tip since. If I travel I don't usually even dry my shampoo bar after use. I just use it and put it back in tin and close the lid. Of course some times I let it fully dry before closing lid. Maybe every fourth use. 🤔 Sorry about my English ✌🏼
I love these packing videos also for contacts, not sure if the brand you're using offers it but there are monthly options so you use the same pair of contacts for a month! Very handy for traveling
Do not recycle your daily lenses!!! I used to do that and I kept getting eye infections! It’s not worth the risk. Just bring enough for days you know you might need them. Wear your glasses on travel days cos you don’t want to sleep/nap with those in your eyes
I love the Gonex compression cubes. I always take an empty one to use as a laundry bag, too. I used a gonex cube when I was going to a wedding in the US that I was MOH in and had to take a dress (Lindy Bop style) and the petticoat. Both fit perfectly in the bottom of my backpack.
Would recommend an oil cleanser for removing makeup. You could decant into one of those tiny muji bottles - no need for cotton pads. On one trip i got one of those mini coconut oil jars from holland and barratt and it doubled up as a heavy duty lotion too. win win!
Oh my gosh I NEED those pants!! Don't know if I ever told you that my solo bum bag is my everyday bag in the summer/when I'm traveling, can't wait to expand the pieces I have!!!
Just FYI you can use a menstrual cup with a coil/IUD. I have a copper iud and basically exclusively use a menstrual cup- the trick is to just not take it out by simply pulling the nub but just reach in a tiny bit and fold the cup whilst pulling it out
They have contact lenses that you can reuse up to a month and they are usually much cheaper than daily ones. There are also contacts you can sleep in for up to a month if you dont even want to be fussed with taking them out. They are more expensive than the ones you take out but still cheaper than daily brands. The ones you sleep in are perfect for travel and you only need to bring one or two small boxes (containing 6 lenses) for multi month trips. Saves a ton of space.
Hiya, long term contact lens wearer here 👋🏻 Please never sleep in contact lenses, whatever type they are!! I’ve done it by mistake a few times and it’s horrible 😭 Eyes need direct contact with the air to absorb oxygen, so regardless of what type of contact lens you shouldn’t regularly wear them for more than 12 hours a day (although it’s fine to wear them for longer every now and then). I agree about the monthly lenses though, you just need to carry one pair per month, they’re more durable and (in my experience) easier to take in & out, plus it works out cheaper ☺️ Just be sure to thoroughly clean them every single day! Last thing, after wearing contact lenses for about 10 years I eventually got laser eye surgery and it’s amazing, especially for travelling as having to constantly worry about glasses/contact lenses is such a faff. Of course it’s expensive upfront so not an option for everyone, but across a lifetime of glasses/contact lenses/eye tests it works out cheaper! Hope that helps ☺️
I wear the sleep ins and have for 8-10 years. At my regular eye check ups my doctors gave always told me my eyes are perfect. So be cautious always but there are good experiences with them too!
you can totally wear a menstrual cup with a coil, don't be scared :)) I've done it for 4+ years and know many others that have done that too, no problems anywhere. My gyno also never mentioned this..
I bloody love these videos I’ve watched every single one and ordered the global companion 65L for my trip !! Please also update at the end with your unpacking video !! Thanks (/
Loved this! I just returned to Australia after living in london for 3 years. I did mini trips with a cabin suitcase but now I’m planning a longer trip and I’m taking a backpack this time.. just need to decided on what size 😂
I love that you're thinking ahead for the muslim countries bc Ive seen a few influences who just kinda dress as normal like sports bras and short shorts (also seen a few ppl on tiktok complaining when they arent allowed in religious settings when they arent covered up...) and my dads side of the family is muslim and I love seeing influencers respecting their culture and religion when in muslim dominant areas bc it helps lower the demonizing mind set of those who chose to dress for their religion. So thanks for respecting people
I love your packing videos! But I seriously have no idea how you fit all the things that you do. I am carrying about half the clothes and 2/3 the toileties and feel like my pack is SOOOOO full! I am currently on a 1 year trip with a 45L pacsafe. I had the Osprey Fairview 40L but definitely like the added 5L, how it opens (similar to eagle creek) and the security features. Love your videos--thanks!
Wohoo, I love your packing videos!! And I love that this one is almost 50 minutes 😂😍 I used to wear dailies as well (now I wear monthly contacts) and used them for several days and never had any issues 😁
Rolling tightly and neatly would flatten all those cubes right down, flatter is best for packing light as it makes everything less bulky and the clothes are not as crushed and creased.... You could have got a solid body wash which would last a couple of months at least ...standing the cubes on their side is the way to fit more in. Also shoes are best sole to sole heel to toe ... or even split them up to fit them in the spaces.... you struggling is why rolling is best, the time you spend playing tetris is the difference in the time it takes to roll them up, plus it makes carrying it so much more comfy as it is a slimmer profile to the less bulky cubes ..
A new videoooo 😍😍😍I want to go on a long trip next year but I'm not planning to visit some wild, hidden areas. I was thinking about getting a north face voyager 42 L, have a backpack as personal item and a bum bag✨
Have you ever tried the small makeup remover towels? I have a set and I literally just bring one tiny towel and if you get it wet it takes off makeup without having to bring any liquid or wipes. It’s amazing!
I’m so miffed, I’ve been thinking about buying one of those backless tops for a bit now and they’ve only got an XS on the site that ships to Australia 😭😭😭
The wrist things are called Sea-bands, in case anyone else was curious. They use the P6 pressure point to decrease nausea. We generally recommend them to pregnant patients since they cant take normal dramamine. Anyways, love the videos. It's awesome how thorough you are with these, and definitely helps us make more informed decisions for our own trips.
Hi Christianne! Thank-you for this lovely video, I've found your packing videos extremely helpful now that I'm preparing for a backpacking trip through SA. ** I was wondering which Travel insurance do you recommend? ** Thank you!!
The stick in the contact lens case is for hard lens only, which I don't even know if they make those anymore. Hard lens are made of glass, and if your eye gets dry, they can get stuck on your cornea and then you need that stick to suction them off, leaving a scratch on your cornea. Ask me how I know.
Please don't reuse the daily disposable contact lenses unless you absolutely have to in a pinch. They are much thinner than normal reusable contact lenses and aren't made to be cleaned even if you use the cleaning solution. If it's just about saving some money, get the monthly contact lenses, they work out cheaper. Monthly contact lenses have a coating that makes it possible to clean them, which dailies don't. Even if the chances are low, the staph infection is not worth it. I hope this doesn't come across as condescending, I've just heard a lot of misiformation about dailies floating around.
I don’t know why you didn’t do this packing video the day before you left and then you could have just got up and chilled before departing for the airport!! I’m really surprised you managed to get everything in too!
hiya!!! :) I love watching your videos, it’s given me the best advice for a backpacking trip to Spain that im planning this summer!! strange question- but what kind of Apple Watch do you have and how do you find travelling with it? currently debating if it should be an item I take with me or leave at home!
Hey! When is the SOLO release of the black trousers? I leave for a trip in six weeks and really want to take these with me! Hope you're having a lovely time in Istanbul!
Hey! I love your videos❤️ I am going to Asia for a solo travel, and it’s my first time alone. But I have a question… Where did you get the backpack?? After watching your videos I fell in love with it !!🤩
Reaaaaally great vid! love this, gives me so much inspo. One Q.. did they not weigh everything you are taking in the airport? in my country they've gotten very strict about that and if your main backpack is a bit over the permitted weight and they see you have a big personal bag also, they would take the big one and send it with the luggage
Completely depends on the airline and how strict they are! British Airways have very lenient hand luggage allowances - each bag can be up to 20KG! If I flew Ryanair, it would be a completely different story 😅
Do your solo microfibre towels have the typical microfibre feel? If that makes sense? Like the fluffy look of them in comparison to my dock & bay towels but I don’t like the feel of normal microfibre towels I’ve had in the past.
An almost 50 minute packing video... this is the dream! 🤗🤗🤗
🥳🥳🥳 grab a cuppa and enjoy ❤️
@@BackpackingBananas IM SORRY THE TROUSERS OMG I NEED THOSE ASAP
I didn't even notice it being 50 minutes 😲 needed the inspiration now🙌
Omg I’m recording a packing video and I was so worried about length this makes me feel better
I love that you are like "I'm bringing condoms, men should have them but I don't trust them to" cos it's so true and it's something that a lot of travellers don't mention at all because it's seen as tabu?

Girl you were making me nervous with 20 minutes to go and still packing!! 😂 I’m packed and repacked the night before.
Hahaha I was stressed and nervy too 😅

That’s epic! Hope you guys get out on a new awesome adventure soon 🤩
@@BackpackingBananas we’ve booked a trip to Puerto Vallarta in early January! You inspire me!!
I started stressing out when you said you had an hour to pack before you had to leave. I literally pack a week in advance. 😂

The stick in the contact lens case is for hard lens only, which I don't even know if they make those anymore. Hard lens are made of glass, and if your eye gets dry, they can get stuck on your cornea and then you need that stick to suction them off, leaving a scratch on your cornea. Ask me how I know.
Dear human that's reading this, we may not know each others but I wish you all the best in life!✨
That’s cute 😊
Thank you! Same to you. 😊
think i am in love.
Please don't reuse the daily disposable contact lenses unless you absolutely have to in a pinch. They are much thinner than normal reusable contact lenses and aren't made to be cleaned even if you use the cleaning solution. If it's just about saving some money, get the monthly contact lenses, they work out cheaper. Monthly contact lenses have a coating that makes it possible to clean them, which dailies don't. Even if the chances are low, the staph infection is not worth it.
I hope this doesn't come across as condescending, I've just heard a lot of misiformation about dailies floating around.
Absolutely!
I don’t know why you didn’t do this packing video the day before you left and then you could have just got up and chilled before departing for the airport!! I’m really surprised you managed to get everything in too!
I was too busy 😩 had so much to do before I left haha 😅
What was the eye/sleepmask you use? I could not find the link in the description and they look great. Love the vid! Happy travels
Amazing video! Hugs from Brazil 💕
Thanks Amanda ❤️
hiya!!! :) I love watching your videos, it’s given me the best advice for a backpacking trip to Spain that im planning this summer!! strange question- but what kind of Apple Watch do you have and how do you find travelling with it? currently debating if it should be an item I take with me or leave at home!
No playsuits/rompers… who are you?
😂😂 I don’t know what’s happened to me
Hey! When is the SOLO release of the black trousers? I leave for a trip in six weeks and really want to take these with me! Hope you're having a lovely time in Istanbul!
You should change the title to “How I put 60 liters in a 40 liter backpack!”
I have the coil and after 6 months my period stopped, 5 years later still haven’t had it
I no longer have any home so have a big and smaller 40 l will have to say bye to bigger bag in the end ... couldnt find a solution...
Love your videosssssssss
Hey! I love your videos❤️
I am going to Asia for a solo travel, and it’s my first time alone. But I have a question…
Where did you get the backpack?? After watching your videos I fell in love with it !!🤩
I hate saying it bc I want this backpack sooo bad but it is discontinued😭😭
Reaaaaally great vid! love this, gives me so much inspo. One Q.. did they not weigh everything you are taking in the airport? in my country they've gotten very strict about that and if your main backpack is a bit over the permitted weight and they see you have a big personal bag also, they would take the big one and send it with the luggage
Completely depends on the airline and how strict they are! British Airways have very lenient hand luggage allowances - each bag can be up to 20KG! If I flew Ryanair, it would be a completely different story 😅
Please let me know where the eye mask is from I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect one too! 😭💕
Risman you should consider Argentina. The currency exchange is insane now. 1GBP is 134.35ARS. You can live like a Queen.👍
Don’t tempt me 😅😅 I’ll be on the next flight
@@BackpackingBananas I know right. lol
In my opinion Bariloche, Argentina is one of the prettiest places on the planet.
@@BackpackingBananas Risman what’s your memorable destinations on the planet that you recommend for travel.
Love it! All your media items in there?
got it
Love big videos
🥳🥳🥳
thanks for sharing this! but... where did you get the amazing eye mask??
I love your packing videos! question what size are you in shein trousers?
I wear size medium 😊
Do your solo microfibre towels have the typical microfibre feel? If that makes sense? Like the fluffy look of them in comparison to my dock & bay towels but I don’t like the feel of normal microfibre towels I’ve had in the past.
Nope it’s quite a different feel! They are much softer and fluffier than typical micro fibre towels
