    Milla, that's great! I also travel in recent years in low cost airlines. Usually for longer so add Priority for the bigger case just like your Osprey. Also use packing cube. It is amazing how little we really need when traveling! Thanks for a lovely video!

      Thanks Rony, always nice to see you here in the comments! And yes, we really don't need that much but if I would go for a little bit longer time, I would probably upgrade to be able to take my Osprey backpack as well since it does give some more flexibility when packing :)

    Wow! Packing with just a backpack is such a brave move especially if you're going to travel for too long! one thing that I learned and wanted to share with you is to look for a duffle bag that best fits your luggage and has all the wonderful features a bag can have especially in plane travel use. I'm using Nomad Lane's Bento Bag and it's a good choice.

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  2 года назад +7

      Thanks! For a longer trip I would definitely take my Osprey Farpoint 40, but since we were only gone for 4 days I didn't need a bigger bag. The bento bag seems like a good choice as well, I just always prefer backpacks since they're so convenient to carry :)

    Wow! This minimalist packing video is truly inspiring! Traveling for 4 days with just a personal item is impressive. Your versatile selection of essentials and practical approach are commendable. How did this minimalist packing experience impact your overall travel? Could you share your top tips for maximizing space and organization in a small backpack? Thanks for sharing your expertise and encouraging efficient travel!

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  Год назад

      Thanks! It was a challenge but certainly doable 😂 Packing light is just more convenient in my opinion and also helps me travel on a budget as some airlines only allow you to bring a personal item if you don't want to pay extra. My top tips would be to use packing cubes and ditching the "what if" clothes 😄 Packing this minimal for such a short trip is quite easy but try doing it for a longer trip because that's even a bigger challenge haha 😂

    I've been getting rid of most of my liquids too, and recommend a dry deodorant. I've found it works better than a spray/roll on.

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  2 года назад

      Nice, changing liquid to solid cosmetics is so convenient and they seem to last longer too! 😊Which deodorant are you using? I've been trying a few but they don't work that great for me since I do sweat quite a lot from time to time. 😅

      i am trying to find a men's solid deodorant in a smaller size but can't seem to find anything good. i like the L'occitane Cedrat but the packaging is too big especially when you have so limited space like in this video... i feel like men's cosmetics is lacking in solids department. maybe Lush has something. anyway... any suggestions?

    Can't help but think that your camera and accessories take up a lot of valuable space

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  Год назад

      If a camera & the accessories to go with it isn't something that you value then for sure use that space for other things! For me personally, camera gear is essential on my travels for content creation. So "valuable space" is a subjective question - pack what's important to you. ☺️🙌🏼

    I think I'll make my own backpack with the exact measures that are allowed by Ryanair. These Kanken backpacks are 5 cm thinner than permitted (15 cm. vs 20 cm.). I'll also dress in layers.

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  Год назад +1

      Yes for sure there are backpacks that are more ''efficient'' in terms of space. The Kånken backpack is rather small. I've used the Osprey Sportlite 25 liter backpack on Ryanair flights and that has worked without any issues as well, even though that backpack is a bit too big when packed full. 😊

    do you prefer this classic or the laptop 13 version for traveling? also do the straps hurt? tfs

    • @MillaExplores
      @MillaExplores  Год назад

      I've only had the classic version so I'm not able to compare 😊 But I think the laptop kånken is a bit more spacious and has a little bit better organizations + more comfortable straps so that would be a good option too! I like the classic for just carrying small amount of stuff since the straps can get a big uncomfortable if you carry a lot of heavy stuff but it's still doable 😊

      Moi, kiitos vinkistä! Oon kyllä nähnyt tuon irrallisen juomapullotaskun mutta en ole vielä nähnyt tarvetta hankkia sitä. Yleensä saan juomapullon hyvin mahtumaan repun sisään, kun harvoin tulee reissattua pelkällä repulla... Ehkä se voisi kuitenkin olla hyvä olemassa näitä tilanteita varten :)

Sinänsä näppärä viritys, että se ei vie repusta sisätilaa, toisin kuin nuo repun omat taskut, jos niihin laittaa esim. ison juomapullon.☺️

      Hi Petra, thanks for watching! I was able to take the crossbody bag on board, but I've seen people hide their smaller things under their jacket etc so it won't show. I think it might depend a little bit on who's checking so it might be good to hide it a little bit 😄
