-- NEW HERE? --
Hi! My name is Lashan, and I moved 16000km away from my home in Sydney Australia to try and make a life in my favourite city in the whole world - Montreal, Canada. And now I'm in London. And tomorrow?.. Follow me on my journey making a life on the opposite side of the planet! I share my life as an expat trying to make a life here, guides on how to do it, travel videos, travel stories, lifestyle stuff and vlogs as well. I love travel, photography, video and just creating stuff in general, so come join me as I try to smash it all together.
There I was thinking at the beginning of the video, how calm and composed it is compared to your yousual chaos. And then.. 🤣 On Barclaycard, I'd go for an Avios one if you care about airline points :)
The chaos always comes through in the end 🤣 So I have a Blue British Airways Amex for the Avios points and UK-based spending, for Barclaycard I like the cashback one because it's one of the few Barclaycards that don't have the 2.99% fee on purchases abroad, the Avios ones still have that fee
@@LashanR oooh gotcha that makes sense. I also have a BA Amex :) And mostly use Monzo abroad, or if it's a place I know I will need more than 250£ of cash I'll buy it in Barclays beforehand.
Makes sense :) I find it handy to have that fee free credit card when it comes to the car rental situation though 😅
@@LashanR oh yeah for sure!
Yayy ❤🎉 You know it’s a good day when Lashan posts!!
One thing I use with the reisistent band is that they are super handy as a DRYING RACK!
If you stay in a hotel, or a place without a drying rack, you can hook it onto chairs, door handles etc. to make a make shift drying rack.
You could fit a fair amount of clothes on it.
That's genius!! Gonna try that next time around haha
nice review. two things. there is no question of "getting caught" by regional airlines (and as an Australian, a good example country, this should be very apparent). When you are going regionally (so w/in a country, there are smaller airlines...like between Melbourne and Sydney, or Tokyo to Osaka, or New Delhi to Mumbai, etc.) that have a VERY LIMITED weight limit - 7kg (a little over 15 pounds)....and every bag gets weighed (and increasingly, re-scanned) and this bag would scuttle your plans. Even if you got the weight down (a tried and true technique, at least in medium to cold weather, is to wear a jacket with lots of pockets and stuff all your weighty items into your jacket...which they don't weigh....but some places like in South and East Asia will also search your pockets, make you take things out and scan them through at multiple check points...so...a hassle...though not so in Australia and more western countries I guess), some airlines just look at it and say "no, too big, need to check it" or else have very very tiny metal cages that it needs to fit in, which this wouldn't. So you'll have to check this bag. I managed to avoided checking my one bag on my last one bag trip, BUT BUT BUT...I was traveling very light, I used the jacket stuffing method...and I cut down every gram/ounce (so there is a 28L Patagonia backpack I used that weights only 2 pounds....you'd need one of these vapor packs in these situations...and I didn't carry all the film gear etc that a long term one-bag nomad would need). This all said, I think this is a great backpack (though I don't love the "I'm just a student going on a field trip look", and prefer something a little more sleek, and sober, to fit my age), and I'm still struggling with carrying clothes for more formal occasions (and the holy grail...carrying shoes)....while there are work arounds with pack flat shoes etc, and roll up "reduced wrinkle" blazers and dress shirts.....it is very very nice to have decent clothes if you are going to a business meeting, or more formal event so you don't feel like a sweaty tourist traveler. Also, if you have arrived at a location, I am starting to want another smaller daypack (I have been packing a rolled up canvas messenger bag) so I can have supplies, batteries, places to put all the books and baked goods etc I end up buying during a day out.....and this again weights you down and adds to the load.....Lastly....I highly support one bag travel.. I've found it makes zero sense if you are only going to one place for a week, or even not really necessary if you are going on a two week trip, for example, and you will be using 2-3 cities as a base for side day trips...where you can just take a wheeled carry on and park it at the hotel (this saves your bag). But if you have a sort of open-ended agenda...and want the freedom to pop around on a whim...then one-bagging is VERY nice, because (unless you've overpacked and weighed down your shoulders...which is a big risk for 40L backpacks...I'd keep it 30L and under for that sort of travel) you can just zip from train to plane to boat to subway to dinner to bookstore to long walks taking pictures...and its just a constant companion backpack that is along for the journey. ALSO - you don't really need the voltage converter (which is heavy) since all typical electronics like phones and backpacks have it built in...just need a dumb (light) plug adaptor...you only need the weighty adaptor for hair dryers and things like that. Lastly - I've found the noise cancelling on the ipods is so good that I don't need to pack a larger pair of headphones (but I agree noise cancelling is critical for flights I've found). Lastly Lastly - I don't pack more than 3-4 days of capsule clothes....I like to do laundry locally (for the most part, might not work in some places) by going to a laundromat - I find it helps to see the locals and get into the groove of a place...and makes you really feel like you've experienced it (like somewhat recently had a laundry morning scheduled, was in Melbourne, went to Fitzroy area and put in the laundry into a machine, then strolled around having some good coffee and pastries...etc etc...)...so don't pack to much clothing for longer trips. For 1 week trips, I'd just pack all my clothes since I'll be using a wheeled carry on anyway.
I've used this backpack with the same packing setup and gotten away with it on Sydney to Melbourne via Jetstar, who do their absolute best to scare you into weighing your bag at every point and tap into your anxiety, and I still managed to get away with it. On the way back was with Rex which was more chill, but then on the way/through to the Philippines I was on Cebu Pacific which has some really small planes with exposed propellers, I got away with it every time but that propeller plane had slightly smaller overhead storage which made fitting it a challenge, but possible. It's a risk you take but if you're smart about it you can avoid the extra fees, and the times you get caught in my experience don't outweigh the savings made by getting away with it. For clothing yeah this is what works for me, one-bag digital nomadding with the stuff I personally want to bring will come with some sacrifices, there's never gonna be a one pack fits all.
@@LashanR nice we have to experiment. Is it just the luck of the draw if those flight attendants are standing there. I thought everyone had to go through them, but you could maybe just lurk out out their immediate eye shot I suppose?
Good luck mate
cheers brah
The guts to record and pack within 80 minutes...
I got the Farpoint 55. Basically the same 40L backpack with a matching daypack strapped to the front.
It's cavernous! There was enough space for a tent, lots of water and all warm layers of clothing I brought for the trip.
I let the intrusive thoughts win 😅 At least it worked out in the end lol
Nice! That's a really good setup with the daypack included :)
Love the absolute chaos at the end! 😂 Respect for filming this in such a tight time frame 👏
Thank you hahahah 😂😂😂 That feeling when you think you can do _one more thing_ before you leave, and it's filming a whole RUclips video 😅
I too take bands when I travel to workout. Do you do full body every day or different exercises?
I have quite a fast metabolism so I find that I need to do the full body workout every day to maintain muscle. 15 minutes is enough to do that, when I want to build then I'll do the 15 minute full body _plus_ focus on a specific muscle group afterwards
you only bring 2 shirt, 1 base layer, and 1 pants that you wear?
And shorts, yep - I've travelled with way more in the past and carried "oh yeah I'll wear this on special occasions" or "yeah i could wear this too" type clothes and then never worn them so 😅 I know what I like, this is what works for me.
I carried a power strip and got confiscated inside my carry-on. Is there a consideration on what power strip specification is safe for carry-on?
Sorry to hear that - I looked this up and there doesn't seem to be any specific rule about this, so you might have gotten unlucky with an officer. That said, everything I've packed is able to be charged via USB, including my laptop, and in case I do need it there is one universal plug on my adapter. How many power points do you need?
Sounds like tsa is just dumb
So what did you bag finally weigh?, plesse
I haven't weighed it, probably a lot like 15kg 😅 But in my experience carry-ons almost never get weighed
Ugh. Now I need a new backpack.
Do ittt
Just be careful, the new version of the Farpoint is different then the one in the video
STOP SHOWING US YOUR SHOES YOU GONNA MISS YOUR FLIGHT
😂😂😂 If it wasn't for my bus to the airport being late I probably would have lol
@@LashanR you genuinely made me anxious 😂
