My Kindle! I am an avid reader and using my phone phone is both worse for my eyes and uses way too much battery. I go pretty much everywhere with my Kindle, whether our for errands or on a long trip. Pro tip: download everything before the trip then keep it in airplane mode until next download. This allows the battery to last a full 2+ weeks even with near constant daily reading (5+hrs)
The past 3 years I’ve downsized my entire wardrobe not just for travel but for my everyday lifestyle at home as well. Minimalism and using ultralight gear has cured a lot of my anxieties and OCD’s. Also going all natural with my hygiene products and my diet also helped my overall healthy positive attitude!
I’ve done exactly the same. It feels like a weight has been lifted! Simplified my wardrobe massively. Now have 14 items of clothes. Got rid of eight black bags. I have two pairs of shoes. I use the same plant oil for my body and face and hair. Organic shampoo/body bar. It’s so simple. I also don’t keep loads of spares. I buy replacement as it literally is running out. I too have gone minimalist with the rest of my life also. My mind is so much calmer now. I’m glad you’ve found that too.😊
@@Chrissyhappy I’m happy for you. 🤍🪽🪽 I’m in my 30’s and I honestly haven’t been this happy since high school lol 😂 I never wanted to believe it was my diet or my hygiene products or my material possessions that were affecting my life. Until I changed my lifestyle and realized how much happier and healthier and spiritually woke I’ve become ! Without the use of any substances or drugs or alcohol or anything of that nature ! Completely sober and happy ! 🤍
Another reason for a light backpack is that you don't need to wait to check-in to your hotel before start exploring the area. You can just go and explore with your backpack whereas with the trolley, it is not so easy or practical.
Personally I don't like to lug that around with me but I find if I rock up to my hotel with just 1 bag they're usually happy to stow it away for me so I can go wander and come back later
Another reason for choosing similar palate for clothes ... I avoid whites and light colored clothes for many reasons -- darker colors are more forgiving in a pinch and if doing laundry you can put everything in one quick wash load. Sounds dumb, but being able to do one quick load of laundry is faster and cheaper.
@@AnnieGill7black is my wardrobe base colour and I live in a hot country. I just also have an increasing amount of animal print tops and dresses to team with black bottoms (used to have a lot of bright colours but it's hard to coordinate that). I find it's what you wear up top that absorbs/reflects most of the heat; unless you're just sitting around, in which case you should be doing that in the shade or wearing swimmers if it's hot. And if you're wearing pants when it's really hot you're doing it wrong (even in conservative countries - wear skirts or dresses).
Back in the day when I was flying and also cheaply, coat was essential. With many pockets. Batteries, chargers, almost everything except clothes went into its pockets. Also, never underestimate or forget a bandana or at least buff.
An old theater costumer's trick I've used to get more wears out of a garment that isn't easy to wash on the road is vodka in a spray bottle. One of the mini bottles of the cheapest brand you can find easily goes in your liquids bag to satisfy TSA and a small fine-mist spray bottle takes up minimal room. I picked up a 3-pack for under $10 at Amazon. Turn the garment inside out and mist lightly in soiled areas; hang up and let dry a couple hours. Takes care of body odors and oils. Great for sweaters, jackets, jeans, etc. BUT you might want to test for colorfastness on the garment first!
I'm very glad you mention your EpiPen. We always see "valid/healthy peoples" doing minimalist content and never take medicines or medical stuffs except an emergency kit. You can have health troubles and travel, and travel light too. Ofc speaking of health you need what you need and don't try to cut down your health needs to fit it in a carry-ons only in trade for your health quality or confort.
I guess it depends who you watch. If you watch the ppl who keep it real you'll always see the medicines section (some say you can easily pick these up abroad but in my experience this is often difficult and a time waster)
@@sherunswithscissors and have you ever done this? In a foreign country where you don't speak the language and don't know the health care system (AND are on a pretty rigid schedule)? I understand this is an inevitably if you travel full time (you just have to work it out) but if you're on holiday and need to make the most of what time you have, to have to stop and work all that out? Even in a country where I speak the language I've found this to be an incredible time waster
I don’t travel much like others but love watching minimalist packing videos. Yours is saved to watch over and over. Yours seems to be one of the better lists. You still look fashionable but still carry light. Great job!

Hi 😊 I actually got the inspiration from Samurai Matcha another minimalist here on RUclips that happens to be Japanese. I thought it was such a nice tip and had to try it myself. I take it everywhere now. ✌️
I have been traveling with only a carry on for a few trips now and will not go back. As I struggle with anxiety it is comforting to know that all I need is with me at all times. Thanks for sharing your packing list. Best wishes and God bless you on your next adventures.
Too right.. when bag got mislaid by airline 2 wweks cost me time qnd money hot it back then got lost again by bus companies.. never again!!! Carry on that s all will just have to fit in large amt of meds and some xtra warm clothes as best I can.. lesson learnt where I am so will be anything I have...❤
As a chronic overpacker, I did international travel last year with one bag and it was *amazing*. It was so freeing to not have to wait at the airport for my checked luggage, I had extra room to bring back gifts if I wanted, and, most importantly, I was able to bring medications and other items to help with my chronic health conditions, without the worry of some things not being easily accessible or available in another country. It really brought peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip much more while still being comfortable! And I definitely didn’t have just the absolute basics - I could easily bring luxuries (my switch, my iPad, my computer, etc.), even with having about 1/3 of my weight and space dedicated to prescriptions and other medical supplies. I highly recommend it! I love this video, your thoughts and reasoning behind each product made so much sense and I am super happy to see it! I love your minimalist-specific tips, I think I did overpack somewhat, even with only one bag, so I’m going to look better at my setup and take your advice to cut down :)
spent 3 months traveling europe with a canvas backpack back in the 60's. survived just fine. never felt over/underdressed nor too cold/hot, well, except for Italy in august. yo can do it.
Thank you sharing these hacks. I went to Europe last summer for 10 days and tried my hands on one bag travel. It actually worked! I’m totally sold on this and planning to do the same thing when I go to Asia in 2024. 👏
Thank you for being appreciative of the video 🙏 Oh that's great! Hope you like Asia as much as I did. Let me know if one backpack works for you there. Where are you going? ✈️🌏
Great video! Choosing clothing that takes up less space and weight is a tip I learned from tour guide Sarah Murdoch that's made a huge difference. My must-haves include powdered sunscreen and a Comfort Pack with ear plugs, a couple doses of ibuprofen, Benadryl, ginger caps for motion sickness, snacks, all-weather scarf, and a thin fleece hat for sudden temperature drops. Comfort makes for happy travels!
I pack a 40 L ripstop nylon backpack. I always take a collapsible kettle. Plus tea/coffee making supplies. I can be perfectly comfortable then. I take way less clothes. Maybe 3 panties, 2 bras, 3 shirts, two bottoms. All black. And I’m wearing close to half of that at the time of travel. So the backpack isn’t very full.
That sounds like road trip/camping packing to me. That's the only time I'd ever think of packing a kettle. Even if you constantly drink tea (or coffee) I can't imagine having time to do that when I travel. I do however carry a thermal waterbottle when I'm travelling in a cold climate. I'll make up a thermos of herbal tea to take with me for the day. Helps keep me warm and hydrated
@@susie9893 The kettle is a luxury item for sure. I carry an Aeropres coffee making thingy. Also a luxury. The kettle I have squishes down like the folding bowls. It's about five inches by one and a half inches squished down. Sounds like you pack similarly otherwise. So freeing to have so little stuff to haul around!
If you are just getting started shrinking your travel gear: Take a notepad or use the notepad app on your phone to write down your „lessons learned“ from your trip. Write down what items you brought but never used. Chances are those were mainly your „just in case“ items. Write down what items you really would have needed but didn’t bring. And make sure this happens each time you think „Geez, I really wish I had brought item XYZ“. Do that while you are on the trip and the impression is still fresh in your mind. You won’t remember 98% of it 2 weeks after the fact. Then rigorously toss out items you did not use. Put them on a pile and visualize how much space you wasted and how much dead weight you schlepped around. And then make a really careful executive decision whether the weight and bulk is worth it. As the saying goes among seasoned backpackers….ounces become pounds, and pounds become pain. Similarly, make sure that the item(s) you missed are on your next packing list. Rinse and repeat. This isn’t a one-and-done thing, it’s a gradual process This requires some level of discipline and honesty with yourself. But it will help you, believe me. You might even be surprised how much pointless crap you were hauling around. I have certainly been guilty of that and had a learning curve. For instance, I do a lot of photography. I do photo jobs for conferences. For a good while, I traveled with two camera bodies and about 5 lenses, plus all the other stuff like memory cards, chargers, batteries etc. This was no fun at all and I actually threw my back out once with that behemoth of a camera bag (which also holds my laptop). Instead of bringing a 50mm prime, a 28-70, a 70-200, a 16-35 and a 135mm prime, a tripod, speedlight plus batteries, harness and two camera bodies (a.k.a. Everything bar the kitchen sink), I now travel with one camera body, a 85mm prime, the 70-200 and a cheap 16-50mm kit lens, no tripod, one spare battery and a shoulder strap. This was plenty enough and saved several kilos. Instead of bringing the dedicated charger for the camera battery, I can use my USB-C phone charger to top up the battery inside the camera. Another few ounces and a few cubic inches saved. It’s those little things that when combined really make a difference.
@@lizziebkennedy7505not every one lives in the USA, let alone “the NE states”. However, someone who has read books from a variety of sources may know the word, and it’s certainly a good one!
Altho you can get waterproof options, or quick dry options. I like to bring a main pair of shoes then pack an extremely minimal 2nd pr (eg flip flops or barefoot shoes)
I have been watching minimalistic one bag travel videos since Tynan in 2008! Yours is one of the best that I have seen in years with some very good pointers. I enjoy your attitude, your smiles and your presentation! Thank you :-)
Over the course of two decades of travel, my checklist hasn't changed much. Same toiletries (not liquid), same pullover/sweater, and/or same coat (depending on weather). Keep it as simple as possible. Instead of Evernote, I just use the already loaded notes app on my phone, plus I can change colors, add bold or italicize. It allows me check and uncheck just as easily without downloading another app. Most everything I know I will need is burned into my brain, but it's nice to check the box. One backpack packing is the only way to go.
I suggest carrying 2 epi pens - I know its a just incase for the other one but incase one doesnt work it will def save you if anything ever get to happen esp when you’re in non-urban locations.
My essentials are earplugs and an eye mask, nothing else comes close to being as important as these whenever I am traveling 😂 I am about to go to northern Germany where it will be snowing for a week with a 20L rucksack. I have just vacuum packed my ski thermals and a couple of jumpers so I hope I can get everything else to fit 🤞🤞
I was only able to spot the brand: Lowepro. But I wasn't able to find the model she is using on their website. It kinda looks like the ProTactic BP 350 AW II because of how it opens, but it's not exactly the one she showed.
I regulary travel by coach in uk, twice a month at least, and always have backpack. It saves messing about loading a suitcase and means I can quickly board and get my preferred seat and have a quick getaway on arrival
I approve of your packing hacks. As a male during work trips I cut down even further to two shirts, two underwear, two par of socks. No extra trousers. No extra shoes. Then I just wash things up as I go using the hotel soap. That way I can bring my work computer gear and personal stuff in a messenger bag for a week
I went to Europe on study abroad for 8 week a few years ago. I took 2 bags and the only reason I didn’t fit in a carry on was so I had room for souvenirs. I actually came back minus one pair of pants since a washing machine tore a hole in them lol. Growing up I always shared a medium/small suitcase with my brother so I have always packed light and often travel for a week with just my backpack and a purse, but more than 2 weeks I like to have a little more variety than achievable without a carry on too lol.
I am used to backpack in backcountry camping. And in international trip I had used carry on luggage and a day pack. Now you have inspired me to blur the line - and use my camping backpack for flight~
I love the fact that you only take one backpack for three weeks. It is so freeing. I don‘t bother with make up and if I take any tech sith me it‘s just gonna be a phone + a charger. Might take the iPad depending on where I am going. Went to England for 10 d with 16 L. Just used the sink at my friend‘s house. Or do laundry. Thanks for sharing! Saúdos dende Vigo 🇪🇸
Love bbkbags the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I would also say for the just in case items how difficult is it to replace and how much of an affect will not having it have on your trip. I have hyper mobility issue so I would bring my braces since them don’t take up much room and my trip could be massive affected if I have a flare up and I don’t have them. I wouldn’t bring lot of over the counter medicine though cos they should be easy to find if in populated areas(I would check the names the medication goes by in the country I’m visiting). Travel minimalism is all a balancing act of ease of travel versus comfort during a trip.
Try toothtabs, it's a gamechanger! they take so little space and you can take the exact number you need! also, I take an ereader, smaller and lighter than a book. Instead of nail clippers, I take small scissors, never had a problem in security and are multi-purpose.
I use my regular toothpaste to make tooth tablets. Baking paper on a tray, squeeze out toothpaste into long sausages lengths. Bake the toothpaste in the oven on a low temperature for about an hour. When the toothpaste feels a little bit squishy but mainly dry take them out of oven. Cut the sausage lengths into quarter inch lengths and place in a jar. Sprinkle liberally with baking soda. I then take as many tablets as I need in a small screw top container for my trip. Weighs less than toothpaste and is no longer considered a liquid. Same great flavour as my regular toothpaste because it is my regular toothpaste.
@@Over60andlivinglife-yr3lm what temp do u use? Find this great, since I super sensitive for many toothpaste, the one I love… does not come in travel size
So nice ! I liked to see how you're using a camera backpack as a travel bag. It's interesting because the camera cube in a normal bag can be heavy sometimes. This video gives some ideas 💡 Have a nice day
There’s one thing I see miss for a woman traveling alone. What do you do for safety? When I am out alone I always have a pepper spray. I always have a small pocket knife, not necessarily for protection, but for utility. I have not traveled much lately, but when flying I’ve ended up checking a bag because I want to have these items with me.
Ohhh 😮 wow! 😱 That's impressive! Imagine all the money you already saved and all the stress that you avoid. Hope you keep having a good adventure. Happy exploring 🥾
I like wearing fitness clothes when traveling...wash as needed in the sink with a laundry detergent bar and ur clothes will be air dried the next day. If u need to be chic...go monochromatic. Then one pair of jeans, black top, white top...i don’t wear dresses a lot so two dressy tops.
Oh yes! Fitness clothes specially for airplane trips are the best. I feel if you combine them well with other clothes can also be stylish for day to day use. Great tip @michellerodgers2664!
I have one bag of essentials (one set of back up clothes, apron, pajamas and toiletries kit) and one medical duffel of things I can’t get very easily that’s what I travel with. Even though I normally don’t travel out of my state because of my health. I have stayed for 3 weeks and survived just fine with my medical duffel and my bag.
caí aqui de para quedas e quando vi o passaporte de Portugal fiquei toda feliz ahaha. Tento ser o mais minimalista possível, também só viajo de mochila e quero sempre ver como os outros fazem, talvez tenham outros truques. fiquei fã.
Aww 🥰 que linda! Acho que a partir do momento em que a pessoa o faz uma vez e percebe que é mais que possível, já não quer outra coisa. Obrigada pelo apoio. 🙏
@@BeaMinimalista é mesmo! Eu inicialmente viajava com trólei, mas ia só tipo 20% cheio. O regresso é pior porque compramos coisas né 🤣 mas mesmo a viajar com mochila percebes que há coisas que não usaste e da próxima vez já não precisas de levar. É muito mais confortável para viajar e andar de um lado para o outro, principalmente se passares por vários destinos
I see you are taking a Canon DSLR. One place to save a bit of weight and volume would be to change to a compact mirrorless like an OM-5. You still get high-quality interchangeable lenses; the 12-40mm Olympus Zoom is stunning. Good luck and safe travels!
Forgive if you mentioned this, but a lightweight tote is perfect for day outings when you want to leave backpack in hotel. Thanks for the wonderful info!
Great setup, I love watching these videos! In 2017 I traveled around the north of the Philippines for 3 weeks, and all I had with me was a small Dakine school backpack (which I still use every day! :D). I did have 2 of those compression packs to help pack as much as possible. I brought some underwear, socks, a couple shorts and T-shirts, 1 sweater, basic toiletry and my wallet/charger. I figured if I needed something else I could buy it there, and I washed my clothes wherever possible. Some of the locals asked me where my other bag/suitcase was and were surprised when I told them that's all I had with me. I hadn't run into any problems and it was my favorite traveling experience. But if I get the chance to travel again I'll probably go for a slightly bigger setup like in this video (for a book/notebook and some extra clothing).
A couple observations from experience: 1. Many travellers, me included, use toploader backbacks (versus yours with with the open front). In these, pack electronic gadgets/wires in a clear zip-top baggie and place on top. Ditto, toiletries/liquids. This ensures one need only open the zip to access and replace them when going through security or for accessing cables for recharging. 2. Consider two backpacks - a longer/larger one on your back, a shorter/smaller one on your front. Not only does this enable more carry space, those items requiring removal at security (computer etc.), use in the washroom (toothbrush etc.) or comfort (sunglasses, sleep mask, book etc.) can be put on the top of the front bag for ready access without the need to remove it. At the airport, for easy access I also put my travel documents in a front pocket on my front backpack. Once through security they return to the inside pocket of my jacket. For storage the longer bag goes in the overhead, the shorter under the seat. For backpacks I recommend Sandqvist.
If you are travelling in Europe on a low cost carrier the cheapest tickets only allow you one piece of onboard luggage, so her mid size backpack is the only option. If you exceed the size of the luggage or the number of pieces they will charge you a hefty fine, more expensive than the return flight in lots of cases.
I always bring good quality blister pads and always end up using them unfortunately. I had times where I didn't have them and I regretted because I couldn't find them where I was.
Kiwi here ... No sweat - if you're coming from overseas, you've been on the plane for a lot of hours and will have eaten them before you arrive. No drama! But your seat mates won't thank you for the smell of the egg. I LOVE a hard-boiled egg, but if you open that up mid flight and waft egg smell everywhere ... You ain't gonna be popular. Then you'll get to Rotorua, NZ, breathe in the sulphurous air, and realise we all overreacted and it smells far worse here than an egg on a plane. Bring your egg, bring your fruit, and enjoy having proper food not airline slop.
@@ladyofthelake3382 You LOVE a hard-boiled egg? What's wrong with you, lol, those are disgusting. And somehow I love the smell of sulphur in the air, to me the smell of hard boiled eggs is disgusting too. And I am sure the kiwi airport police will be kind and forgiving when you forget to eat that egg and forget to declare it to the border authorities because you forgot about it.
I have watched this video so many time. I enjoy it nut it is really useful as well. Loved the editing and how you have approached the topic. As a seasoned traveller myself I loved it 'cos I learned something as well. I totally agree about that "just in case" item. Having made the mistake so many times I can concur. Now I don't take them as much(still do take some haha) and I rarely regret it. The list is the main thing . If you make a list - you can edit it even before you pack and it is a great way to streamline what you bring. Once again - love this video and will probably come back to it again. Thanks for making it. Happy travels. A sandwich and a boiled egg??
Hi Bea, I love your channel. I met you with this video for a presentation that I prepared. I hope that my next comment is for letting u know that I followed any of you advices (of any video) jaja. Love from Argentina.
Great video. Great advice. Atill seems like twice what I woukd bring by packing in thees but completely subjective. Btw I have to say you are very photogenic, good on camera, a real art not often recognized on YT until you see someone that is boring af or struggles with content creation. Hats off to all creators though. 😬
I've been able to get it down to one bag but I still bring a few too many items. I had one top /bottom I didn't wear on my last trip. Work in progress but getting better. 😍
I don’t sweat a lot and surprisingly do not stink a lot unless I am traveling in a humid place. Been using one bra for years. But if you do sweat and can stink a lot then obviously get more than one bra.
I've only gone with just a carry bag a couple times on trips. It's possible but also weighs you down and isn't good for your back especially as you get older. So I just get it all on in a roller-board carry-on with roller blade wheels of course. Granted I can't go touring around town with it, but I can still go easily around town with it to get to my lodging and then tour around. :) Why a minimalist would lug around that huge a$$ camera gear nowadays in the age of smart phones is beyond me though.
I am thinking about bringing either Hydrapak Seeker or Katadyn BeFree with no filter rather than my water bottle. 35 days backpacking/trains including Italy, France, Belgium, Germany.
If you're traveling in Europe where you can drink water from the tap, then bringing a water bottle makes sense, but otherwise I would advise to just buy water bottles because you will be carrying extra bulkiness for nothing
I would probably turn the 6 days in to 10 just for ease but it really depends on where your going and what materials your clothing is made of. Knicker, light t shirt and sock can be wash in the sink and should be dry in a day. However jeans, jumper ect would take alot more effort to wash and get dry (and depending of the material you may not want to put it in the dryer).
Totally understand. I usually use the automatic washing machine services in the morning, go for coffee and a couple of hours later, I got my clothes done ;)
Great video.of course it's easier to travel with just one backpack. some facts should be noted. If you are traveling to warm countries and are completely healthy, a backpack is sufficient. But if you travel to very cold countries, it will be difficult to get by with just a small backpack due to the warm clothing and then you will have to come, for example. If I still have medication (I have 5 packs of 50 bags of potassium) then the volume of my hand luggage is no longer enough. You shouldn't generalize, but I encourage anyone who could to do it.
That's great! When unpacking I always look at the stuff that I brought and it still amazes me to find that I still bring stuff that I didn't use. Thank you for watching 🥰
I was stopped to have my carry-on searched in Albuquerque. The agent said there was something in my bag that the x-ray couldn't penetrate. It turned out to be a boiled egg!
What is something you never forget to pack in your adventures? 🎒
Inflatable water bottle and a international travel adapter.
Snacks and phone charger, lip balm, passport, cash and credit cards. Nothing else is needed.
my noise cancelling headphones!
My menstrual cup and my ereader =)

I have been traveling with only a carry on for a few trips now and will not go back. As I struggle with anxiety it is comforting to know that all I need is with me at all times. Thanks for sharing your packing list. Best wishes and God bless you on your next adventures.
Thank you. Happy you liked it! Having your belongings always with you, sure brings a lot of inner peace.
Too right.. when bag got mislaid by airline 2 wweks cost me time qnd money hot it back then got lost again by bus companies.. never again!!! Carry on that s all will just have to fit in large amt of meds and some xtra warm clothes as best I can.. lesson learnt where I am so will be anything I have...❤
As a chronic overpacker, I did international travel last year with one bag and it was *amazing*. It was so freeing to not have to wait at the airport for my checked luggage, I had extra room to bring back gifts if I wanted, and, most importantly, I was able to bring medications and other items to help with my chronic health conditions, without the worry of some things not being easily accessible or available in another country. It really brought peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip much more while still being comfortable!
And I definitely didn’t have just the absolute basics - I could easily bring luxuries (my switch, my iPad, my computer, etc.), even with having about 1/3 of my weight and space dedicated to prescriptions and other medical supplies.
I highly recommend it! I love this video, your thoughts and reasoning behind each product made so much sense and I am super happy to see it! I love your minimalist-specific tips, I think I did overpack somewhat, even with only one bag, so I’m going to look better at my setup and take your advice to cut down :)
Aww 🥰 This made my day. Very happy that it brought you value. Keep it up!
spent 3 months traveling europe with a canvas backpack back in the 60's. survived just fine. never felt over/underdressed nor too cold/hot, well, except for Italy in august. yo can do it.
That's amazing!
Thank you sharing these hacks. I went to Europe last summer for 10 days and tried my hands on one bag travel. It actually worked! I’m totally sold on this and planning to do the same thing when I go to Asia in 2024. 👏
Thank you for being appreciative of the video 🙏
Oh that's great! Hope you like Asia as much as I did. Let me know if one backpack works for you there.
Where are you going? ✈️🌏
Great video! Choosing clothing that takes up less space and weight is a tip I learned from tour guide Sarah Murdoch that's made a huge difference. My must-haves include powdered sunscreen and a Comfort Pack with ear plugs, a couple doses of ibuprofen, Benadryl, ginger caps for motion sickness, snacks, all-weather scarf, and a thin fleece hat for sudden temperature drops. Comfort makes for happy travels!
Yes, Sarah is great. Totally revolutionised how I think about packing
6:35 clothing that's the tips that i need the most. Thank you for showing what we have to bring clearly.
Oh 😊 very happy that it helped you get inspired 🥰
Enjoy your adventure!
I pack a 40 L ripstop nylon backpack. I always take a collapsible kettle. Plus tea/coffee making supplies. I can be perfectly comfortable then. I take way less clothes. Maybe 3 panties, 2 bras, 3 shirts, two bottoms. All black. And I’m wearing close to half of that at the time of travel. So the backpack isn’t very full.
That's so inspiring!
That sounds like road trip/camping packing to me. That's the only time I'd ever think of packing a kettle. Even if you constantly drink tea (or coffee) I can't imagine having time to do that when I travel.
I do however carry a thermal waterbottle when I'm travelling in a cold climate. I'll make up a thermos of herbal tea to take with me for the day. Helps keep me warm and hydrated
@@susie9893 The kettle is a luxury item for sure. I carry an Aeropres coffee making thingy. Also a luxury. The kettle I have squishes down like the folding bowls. It's about five inches by one and a half inches squished down. Sounds like you pack similarly otherwise. So freeing to have so little stuff to haul around!
@@barbarashirland9078What brand of kettle do you have? Where did you buy it?
If you are just getting started shrinking your travel gear:
Take a notepad or use the notepad app on your phone to write down your „lessons learned“ from your trip. Write down what items you brought but never used. Chances are those were mainly your „just in case“ items. Write down what items you really would have needed but didn’t bring. And make sure this happens each time you think „Geez, I really wish I had brought item XYZ“. Do that while you are on the trip and the impression is still fresh in your mind. You won’t remember 98% of it 2 weeks after the fact.
Then rigorously toss out items you did not use. Put them on a pile and visualize how much space you wasted and how much dead weight you schlepped around. And then make a really careful executive decision whether the weight and bulk is worth it. As the saying goes among seasoned backpackers….ounces become pounds, and pounds become pain. Similarly, make sure that the item(s) you missed are on your next packing list.
Rinse and repeat. This isn’t a one-and-done thing, it’s a gradual process
This requires some level of discipline and honesty with yourself. But it will help you, believe me.
You might even be surprised how much pointless crap you were hauling around. I have certainly been guilty of that and had a learning curve.
For instance, I do a lot of photography. I do photo jobs for conferences. For a good while, I traveled with two camera bodies and about 5 lenses, plus all the other stuff like memory cards, chargers, batteries etc. This was no fun at all and I actually threw my back out once with that behemoth of a camera bag (which also holds my laptop).
Instead of bringing a 50mm prime, a 28-70, a 70-200, a 16-35 and a 135mm prime, a tripod, speedlight plus batteries, harness and two camera bodies (a.k.a. Everything bar the kitchen sink), I now travel with one camera body, a 85mm prime, the 70-200 and a cheap 16-50mm kit lens, no tripod, one spare battery and a shoulder strap. This was plenty enough and saved several kilos.
Instead of bringing the dedicated charger for the camera battery, I can use my USB-C phone charger to top up the battery inside the camera. Another few ounces and a few cubic inches saved. It’s those little things that when combined really make a difference.
lol is “schlepped” a word in english? good tips btw
@@aureliav.6691I think it’s a Yiddish word but it is used in English in the US also
Great stuff.
@@aureliav.6691Yiddish, can’t believe you haven’t heard it. Common usage in the NE states.
@@lizziebkennedy7505not every one lives in the USA, let alone “the NE states”. However, someone who has read books from a variety of sources may know the word, and it’s certainly a good one!
I would always bring a second pair of shoes in case one gets soaking wet. Shoes don’t dry overnight and walking around in wet shoes sucks
Altho you can get waterproof options, or quick dry options. I like to bring a main pair of shoes then pack an extremely minimal 2nd pr (eg flip flops or barefoot shoes)
You can buy shoes.
@@heythave depends on priorities. I find shopping a waste of time when I'm traveling (and time=$)
@@susie9893 Yes, depends on where you go. I was thinking of the $3 crocs that are sold in the market along the street in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
@@heythave ah. Yes, then we are definitely talking about completely different shopping (and climates)
I have been watching minimalistic one bag travel videos since Tynan in 2008! Yours is one of the best that I have seen in years with some very good pointers. I enjoy your attitude, your smiles and your presentation! Thank you :-)
Oh wow! That's such a nice comment. Thank you!
@@BeaMinimalista most welcome!
Over the course of two decades of travel, my checklist hasn't changed much. Same toiletries (not liquid), same pullover/sweater, and/or same coat (depending on weather). Keep it as simple as possible. Instead of Evernote, I just use the already loaded notes app on my phone, plus I can change colors, add bold or italicize. It allows me check and uncheck just as easily without downloading another app. Most everything I know I will need is burned into my brain, but it's nice to check the box. One backpack packing is the only way to go.
Super cool and inspiring 😎 💪
I suggest carrying 2 epi pens - I know its a just incase for the other one but incase one doesnt work it will def save you if anything ever get to happen esp when you’re in non-urban locations.
Oh, I never thought of that. That's definitely something worth keeping in mind.
Also a great point about just in case items. Safety first ❤️🩹
Also I know from my grandson who is extremely allergic that sometimes two epipens are needed depending on the reaction. Also antihistamine
Nicely done, agree with all of these. Less is always more, especially when you're going from place to place.
My essentials are earplugs and an eye mask, nothing else comes close to being as important as these whenever I am traveling 😂 I am about to go to northern Germany where it will be snowing for a week with a 20L rucksack. I have just vacuum packed my ski thermals and a couple of jumpers so I hope I can get everything else to fit 🤞🤞
That's great! Safe travels. Enjoy!
To anyone wanting to know what kind of backpack she has: it’s her camera bag.
used to travel with just a backpack but as I got older my back started hurting and just switched to 1 carryon luggage and never looked back.
What backpack did you use?
I was only able to spot the brand: Lowepro. But I wasn't able to find the model she is using on their website. It kinda looks like the ProTactic BP 350 AW II because of how it opens, but it's not exactly the one she showed.
Yes, I really like the sectioning of the bag and have never seen one quite like it before.
Zeesac
I regulary travel by coach in uk, twice a month at least, and always have backpack. It saves messing about loading a suitcase and means I can quickly board and get my preferred seat and have a quick getaway on arrival
I approve of your packing hacks. As a male during work trips I cut down even further to two shirts, two underwear, two par of socks. No extra trousers. No extra shoes. Then I just wash things up as I go using the hotel soap. That way I can bring my work computer gear and personal stuff in a messenger bag for a week
oh wow! That's amazing
I went to Europe on study abroad for 8 week a few years ago. I took 2 bags and the only reason I didn’t fit in a carry on was so I had room for souvenirs. I actually came back minus one pair of pants since a washing machine tore a hole in them lol.
Growing up I always shared a medium/small suitcase with my brother so I have always packed light and often travel for a week with just my backpack and a purse, but more than 2 weeks I like to have a little more variety than achievable without a carry on too lol.
wow 🤩 This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
I am used to backpack in backcountry camping. And in international trip I had used carry on luggage and a day pack. Now you have inspired me to blur the line - and use my camping backpack for flight~
I need to find those japanese towels/cloths you mentioned. Good tip!
I love the fact that you only take one backpack for three weeks. It is so freeing.
I don‘t bother with make up and if I take any tech sith me it‘s just gonna be a phone + a charger. Might take the iPad depending on where I am going. Went to England for 10 d with 16 L. Just used the sink at my friend‘s house. Or do laundry.
Thanks for sharing!
Saúdos dende Vigo 🇪🇸
¡Hola! That's so inspiring Merry 😊
Love bbkbags the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other RUclipsr can show off bags in as much detail as you.
I would also say for the just in case items how difficult is it to replace and how much of an affect will not having it have on your trip. I have hyper mobility issue so I would bring my braces since them don’t take up much room and my trip could be massive affected if I have a flare up and I don’t have them. I wouldn’t bring lot of over the counter medicine though cos they should be easy to find if in populated areas(I would check the names the medication goes by in the country I’m visiting). Travel minimalism is all a balancing act of ease of travel versus comfort during a trip.
Maybe you wan't to show us your minimalist closet? I would love too. Thank you for this inspiring video ♡
Try toothtabs, it's a gamechanger! they take so little space and you can take the exact number you need! also, I take an ereader, smaller and lighter than a book. Instead of nail clippers, I take small scissors, never had a problem in security and are multi-purpose.
I tried to use toothtabs but I didn't adapt that well to them. Maybe I need to try a different brand soon. Thank you for the great tips! 🥰
I use my regular toothpaste to make tooth tablets. Baking paper on a tray, squeeze out toothpaste into long sausages lengths. Bake the toothpaste in the oven on a low temperature for about an hour. When the toothpaste feels a little bit squishy but mainly dry take them out of oven. Cut the sausage lengths into quarter inch lengths and place in a jar. Sprinkle liberally with baking soda. I then take as many tablets as I need in a small screw top container for my trip. Weighs less than toothpaste and is no longer considered a liquid. Same great flavour as my regular toothpaste because it is my regular toothpaste.
@@Over60andlivinglife-yr3lm what temp do u use? Find this great, since I super sensitive for many toothpaste, the one I love… does not come in travel size
So nice ! I liked to see how you're using a camera backpack as a travel bag. It's interesting because the camera cube in a normal bag can be heavy sometimes. This video gives some ideas 💡 Have a nice day
Thank you so much! Have a great day :)
I also keep a small mirror and bandana. Both versatile and often get used.
There’s one thing I see miss for a woman traveling alone. What do you do for safety? When I am out alone I always have a pepper spray. I always have a small pocket knife, not necessarily for protection, but for utility. I have not traveled much lately, but when flying I’ve ended up checking a bag because I want to have these items with me.
Been traveling with one carry-on bag for the past 6 years and i've been to 10 countries. #onebagadventures.
Ohhh 😮 wow! 😱 That's impressive!
Imagine all the money you already saved and all the stress that you avoid.
Hope you keep having a good adventure. Happy exploring 🥾
I like wearing fitness clothes when traveling...wash as needed in the sink with a laundry detergent bar and ur clothes will be air dried the next day. If u need to be chic...go monochromatic. Then one pair of jeans, black top, white top...i don’t wear dresses a lot so two dressy tops.
Don’t wear fitness clothes if going to Europe. Those are only worn in the gym there.
Oh yes! Fitness clothes specially for airplane trips are the best. I feel if you combine them well with other clothes can also be stylish for day to day use. Great tip @michellerodgers2664!
I live in Europe and we have cheap airlines with low hand luggage weights. I love wearing workout gear when travelling as its so easy to wash.
I have one bag of essentials (one set of back up clothes, apron, pajamas and toiletries kit) and one medical duffel of things I can’t get very easily that’s what I travel with. Even though I normally don’t travel out of my state because of my health. I have stayed for 3 weeks and survived just fine with my medical duffel and my bag.
caí aqui de para quedas e quando vi o passaporte de Portugal fiquei toda feliz ahaha. Tento ser o mais minimalista possível, também só viajo de mochila e quero sempre ver como os outros fazem, talvez tenham outros truques. fiquei fã.
Aww 🥰 que linda! Acho que a partir do momento em que a pessoa o faz uma vez e percebe que é mais que possível, já não quer outra coisa.
Obrigada pelo apoio. 🙏
@@BeaMinimalista é mesmo! Eu inicialmente viajava com trólei, mas ia só tipo 20% cheio. O regresso é pior porque compramos coisas né 🤣 mas mesmo a viajar com mochila percebes que há coisas que não usaste e da próxima vez já não precisas de levar. É muito mais confortável para viajar e andar de um lado para o outro, principalmente se passares por vários destinos
Faltou ver foi como meteu tudo na mochila.....
I see you are taking a Canon DSLR. One place to save a bit of weight and volume would be to change to a compact mirrorless like an OM-5. You still get high-quality interchangeable lenses; the 12-40mm Olympus Zoom is stunning. Good luck and safe travels!
Olá Bea, é incrível que consegues viajar com tão pouco 👍😁. Gostei muito do teu vídeo 😊, obrigada.
Obrigado eu Ana. Ainda bem que gostaste 🌹
Forgive if you mentioned this, but a lightweight tote is perfect for day outings when you want to leave backpack in hotel. Thanks for the wonderful info!
Totally agree.
Just didn't bring one because mine broke and I haven't replaced it since. But I'm sure missing it.
Great setup, I love watching these videos! In 2017 I traveled around the north of the Philippines for 3 weeks, and all I had with me was a small Dakine school backpack (which I still use every day! :D). I did have 2 of those compression packs to help pack as much as possible. I brought some underwear, socks, a couple shorts and T-shirts, 1 sweater, basic toiletry and my wallet/charger. I figured if I needed something else I could buy it there, and I washed my clothes wherever possible. Some of the locals asked me where my other bag/suitcase was and were surprised when I told them that's all I had with me. I hadn't run into any problems and it was my favorite traveling experience. But if I get the chance to travel again I'll probably go for a slightly bigger setup like in this video (for a book/notebook and some extra clothing).
Love it 🥰
Thanks for this informative video, and it is so timely as I am preparing for a 15 day Alaska trip. 👍🇰🇾
So happy that it helped you!
I love your tips! Will def try it on my next trip! ❤
Thank you so much dear. Happy you liked it.
A couple observations from experience:
1. Many travellers, me included, use toploader backbacks (versus yours with with the open front). In these, pack electronic gadgets/wires in a clear zip-top baggie and place on top. Ditto, toiletries/liquids. This ensures one need only open the zip to access and replace them when going through security or for accessing cables for recharging.
2. Consider two backpacks - a longer/larger one on your back, a shorter/smaller one on your front. Not only does this enable more carry space, those items requiring removal at security (computer etc.), use in the washroom (toothbrush etc.) or comfort (sunglasses, sleep mask, book etc.) can be put on the top of the front bag for ready access without the need to remove it.
At the airport, for easy access I also put my travel documents in a front pocket on my front backpack. Once through security they return to the inside pocket of my jacket.
For storage the longer bag goes in the overhead, the shorter under the seat.
For backpacks I recommend Sandqvist.
If you are travelling in Europe on a low cost carrier the cheapest tickets only allow you one piece of onboard luggage, so her mid size backpack is the only option. If you exceed the size of the luggage or the number of pieces they will charge you a hefty fine, more expensive than the return flight in lots of cases.
@@anaalves3658 Thank you. I'm a backpack person and light traveller.
I always bring good quality blister pads and always end up using them unfortunately. I had times where I didn't have them and I regretted because I couldn't find them where I was.
Hello! where is your backpack from? it would be great for my travels. Thanks so much for sharing!
It's cute that you divide "beach" into separate categories 😀
Fruit and an egg will be lovely when it comes to border crossing. Especially to Australia or NZ.
Kiwi here ... No sweat - if you're coming from overseas, you've been on the plane for a lot of hours and will have eaten them before you arrive. No drama! But your seat mates won't thank you for the smell of the egg. I LOVE a hard-boiled egg, but if you open that up mid flight and waft egg smell everywhere ... You ain't gonna be popular. Then you'll get to Rotorua, NZ, breathe in the sulphurous air, and realise we all overreacted and it smells far worse here than an egg on a plane. Bring your egg, bring your fruit, and enjoy having proper food not airline slop.
@@ladyofthelake3382 You LOVE a hard-boiled egg? What's wrong with you, lol, those are disgusting.
And somehow I love the smell of sulphur in the air, to me the smell of hard boiled eggs is disgusting too.
And I am sure the kiwi airport police will be kind and forgiving when you forget to eat that egg and forget to declare it to the border authorities because you forgot about it.
Helpful tips, thank you! What backpack do you recommend?
I loved the video 👌🏻
Never without a K-Way and a light scarf, very space-saving in a little bag.
👍Great instructions on how to travel with only one backpack! Thanks for sharing! Please keep going
Thank you 🥰
I have watched this video so many time. I enjoy it nut it is really useful as well. Loved the editing and how you have approached the topic. As a seasoned traveller myself I loved it 'cos I learned something as well. I totally agree about that "just in case" item. Having made the mistake so many times I can concur. Now I don't take them as much(still do take some haha) and I rarely regret it.
The list is the main thing .
If you make a list - you can edit it even before you pack and it is a great way to streamline what you bring.
Once again - love this video and will probably come back to it again.
Thanks for making it.
Happy travels.
A sandwich and a boiled egg??
Reading this makes me really happy and excited to make more videos. Thank you!
Obrigada :) Vou viajar por um mês de mochila e foi super helpful ver o teu vídeo :))
Que bom! Aproveita bem. Boa viagem!
Hi Bea, I love your channel. I met you with this video for a presentation that I prepared.
I hope that my next comment is for letting u know that I followed any of you advices (of any video) jaja.
Love from Argentina.
excellent content , ill use this advice when I go to Japan soon thank you . u would make an excellent teacher.
Thank you so much Tanya! Happy travels!
Did you really fit everything in that backpack??? Wowwww
What is the name of your backpack and the dividers you use? Love your video! Thank you
Great video. Great advice. Atill seems like twice what I woukd bring by packing in thees but completely subjective. Btw I have to say you are very photogenic, good on camera, a real art not often recognized on YT until you see someone that is boring af or struggles with content creation. Hats off to all creators though. 😬
ohh my 😊 Thank you so much!
Ótimas dicas! Salvei seu vídeo para poder usa-las nos momentos oportunos.
Que bom 🥰 Fico mesmo feliz. Obrigada!
I love bbkbags that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday
Thanks from this brand new subscriber, as I like getting new ideas about how to pack lighter. 😊
Hey there 👋 welcome!
Happy that it helped 😊
I've been able to get it down to one bag but I still bring a few too many items. I had one top /bottom I didn't wear on my last trip. Work in progress but getting better. 😍
Thanks for sharing 💪
i feel that one bra is not enough if I sweat.
Ahah I know, I know. It can be a struggle. 🫂
What I did during this trip was to wear my bikini top, while my bra was in the laundry.
@@InavonRivabeing braless is a nightmare
I don’t sweat a lot and surprisingly do not stink a lot unless I am traveling in a humid place. Been using one bra for years. But if you do sweat and can stink a lot then obviously get more than one bra.
Me, too. Two means you can wash one out, as long as it will dry.
@@InavonRivahow helpful you are /s
Thank you for this I have been traveling full time for 1.5 years and am still bringing too much stuff!!!! wanting to get down to 7-8kg 😬
you got this 💪
I've only gone with just a carry bag a couple times on trips. It's possible but also weighs you down and isn't good for your back especially as you get older. So I just get it all on in a roller-board carry-on with roller blade wheels of course. Granted I can't go touring around town with it, but I can still go easily around town with it to get to my lodging and then tour around. :) Why a minimalist would lug around that huge a$$ camera gear nowadays in the age of smart phones is beyond me though.
Ovo cozido é um snack genial para uma viagem (: vou começar a incluir
🥚🎒
I am thinking about bringing either Hydrapak Seeker or Katadyn BeFree with no filter rather than my water bottle. 35 days backpacking/trains including Italy, France, Belgium, Germany.
Sounds great! Happy travels 🥾🎒
Great tips, I enjoyed the pace and content of your video. Which Lowepro backpack is this? Is this your main travel bag?
Obrigada pelas dicas. Eu pessoalmente levava o meu Kobo e o meu Tablet, mas não tenho máquina fotográfica nem lentes.
If you're traveling in Europe where you can drink water from the tap, then bringing a water bottle makes sense, but otherwise I would advise to just buy water bottles because you will be carrying extra bulkiness for nothing
Did you use a camera backpack as your travel pack? Very clever. The segmentation for your belongings is quite effective.
totally get it bur don't want to spend a day doing laundry while traveling lol
I would probably turn the 6 days in to 10 just for ease but it really depends on where your going and what materials your clothing is made of. Knicker, light t shirt and sock can be wash in the sink and should be dry in a day. However jeans, jumper ect would take alot more effort to wash and get dry (and depending of the material you may not want to put it in the dryer).
Totally understand.
I usually use the automatic washing machine services in the morning, go for coffee and a couple of hours later, I got my clothes done ;)
What you use at home you use away. Pick those. Add a few extras. Pack it. Go.
Buy it there. Hand wash. Send out.
Lately I use two shopping bags.
Travel light..always.agreed
🤜🤛 Agreed!
Do you ever take your dog with you? I have a dog and curious if you have any travel tips or advice about traveling with a dog.
What backpack are you using?
This is so helpful, thank you! I would love to know which backpack you are using?
You're beautiful and thanks for the video!
What backpack are you using? Love to see it completely packed. And where did you get the long sleeve print dress??? Love it
Pretty good and smart advise!
Thank you 🙏🍀
Great video.of course it's easier to travel with just one backpack. some facts should be noted. If you are traveling to warm countries and are completely healthy, a backpack is sufficient. But if you travel to very cold countries, it will be difficult to get by with just a small backpack due to the warm clothing and then you will have to come, for example. If I still have medication (I have 5 packs of 50 bags of potassium) then the volume of my hand luggage is no longer enough. You shouldn't generalize, but I encourage anyone who could to do it.
Incredible, thanks 🙏🏽 ❤
Thank YOU 🙏
Great video! Not sure if anyone else has asked this but what backpack do you use? Thanks
May I know what waterbottle you have? It looks really sturdy and I love that it çan lip into a caribina!
Thanks for this inspiring lesson! What type/size is your backpack, and what does it way when you take all these items?! :)
Great! I have been traveling for over 10 years with a backpack, and the stuff is getting less every time!❤
That's great!
When unpacking I always look at the stuff that I brought and it still amazes me to find that I still bring stuff that I didn't use.
Thank you for watching 🥰
Could you please provide a URL for the backpack you are using?
Which backpack do you use? :) Great video!!
Great. I just watched this clip from Bangkok .. 17/11/2023 2245 hrs
🇹🇭 oh yey! 🙏
agora só preciso do dinheiro pra viagem 😂❤
I was stopped to have my carry-on searched in Albuquerque. The agent said there was something in my bag that the x-ray couldn't penetrate. It turned out to be a boiled egg!
ahah oh no 🙈
What type of Tenugui are you using? What are the dimensions?
