    Great video. Once, I went to San Francisco with no luggage at all. When I got to the city, I went to a casual clothes store and bought enough clothes to last me two weeks. It wasn't much, because I could wash my clothes in my room. After my stay, I gave my clothes to the homeless and returned home with nothing.

    Thank you for the video. As a teenager, I went with friends to another city for a weekend training trip (Aikido) and let my mom decide what to pack... She packed clothes for 2 weeks, food for the whole time for my friends and myself and lots of other things like travel games. In the end, we used fast food stores, the training clothes and talked with the others in our free time rather than trying to dig up anything in my luggage. I didn't use or need half of the stuff. Luckily, one of the guys carried my luggage for me, so I didn't suffer too much. Today, I prefer traveling with less weight. 😂

    Wow, that’s impressive.
    I like that you wore your traditional clothes, I usually feel quite self-conscious about doing it and never considered taking it with me on holiday 🤦🏻‍♀️. I never thought about washing clothes manually and taking detergent sheets too. I assume you used the amenities in the hotels or something, hopefully you had spf.

    I went to Paris for two weeks in winter with only a small over-the-shoulder bag. I packed only wool and leather pieces, in only cream and black colours. It was perfect and I didn't even have to try and drag a wheeled bag over the cobblestones. :)

    Carry-on luggages are the best! We have 2 children and use only carry-on, even for longer stays. The kids can handle their own easily and it's much more convenient when taking the train or even with our car! People are always surprised we have 'so little' but we never felt we lacked anything...

  •  Před rokem +13

    When I went to India for 2 weeks in 2019, I had also chosen to take only a small suitcase allowed in the cabin. It's so much more convenient and quicker at airports!

  • @leonilomangussad8074
    @leonilomangussad8074 Před rokem +9

    I also bring only a carry-on suitcase with me when I travel to a country for a week. Mix and match clothes and the lightest possible. Then I simply buy in the country what I might need locally. But you are so clever and practical too! knowing its going to be winter in Europe! Kudos for your exemplary achievement!

  • @cstar6682

    Small carry-on for the win! I did the same for 2 weeks in Europe and felt bad for everyone else with all their big bags.

    Im traveling as a family of 6 from US to Hawaii for a week. We will be packing very light as I have learned from my previous trips. Only carry on. I am so excited to pack and see if I can be a minimalist traveler.

  • @bvillebikelady3651
    @bvillebikelady3651 Před rokem +2

    I finally get to sit down and watch this! I agree; travel light. I take 1 pinafore, 1 kilted skirt, 1 pair jeans, 2 T-shirts, appropriate undergarments, 1 pair oxfords, 4 bandanas, a shawl, my field sketch kit, and a roll-up hat. These all fit nicely in a battered leather satchel, with room to add a few more pieces as souvenirs. There are toiletries at the other end. Put a good book and a small crochet project in my purse, and I'm good to go!

  • @mariannamartinelli2701
    @mariannamartinelli2701 Před rokem +11

    What a joy to see you uploaded a new video! As for me, no matter how light do I pack, it always turns out I pack more than what I end up using. Each and every time so far it has been a learning opportunity. I now think at every travel as a minimal journey, where part of the fun is to try and find out what I do actually need, based on last experience. Sometimes I think a big part of it is that when travelling I am happier already, and being happier I do actually need less already… what do you think?

    • @oneofakindlifestyle
      @oneofakindlifestyle Před rokem

    Hi Mr. Aki,
    That's a great video, I can isnpired if I wanna go to travel just need a small luggage 😇.
    As your fans, I would like to request that might be your consideration to make these videos recomendation :
    1. Digital minimalist // e.g Handphone app / wallpaper etc
    2. Your activities when off-day (Saturday/Sunday)
    3. How to keep maintaining our mind / heart and soul to be calm as a minimalism
    4. Story telling about your daily activities 😆
    Thank you so much sir for your time to see my request, keep up spirit to make the inspiration videos, I'm sorry if my english is not good enough
    Note : I'm from Indonesia, if you have time please visit to my country, we have so many beautiful islands, such as : Bali, Sumatera, etc.. 😊
    Regards,
    Heri

    Carry-on bag luggage is the only way to go, in my opinion. I fondly remember my month long epic cross country AMTRAK train trip that included a stop in Seattle and a one week cruise up the inside passage of Alaska. The cruise included two formal nights.
    I washed my underwear and shirts as needed in a basin with the free shampoo provided. I dressed very nicely for the formal nights and wore layers as needed for the excursions. The trip encompassed a temperature range of 90 degrees in the lower 48 states to a low of 30 degrees in Alaska. So I wore leggings under travel pants, tee shirt under a long sleeve shirt, with a hoodie and a rain poncho on the coldest day. It was perfect!

  • @roxii7190
    @roxii7190 Před 11 měsíci

    I used to pack many things and I wouldn’t use half of them, a few months ago after binge-watching your channel I went on a trip for two weeks, I packed everything in a backpack and a large hand bag and used the laundry service and iron in the hotel. Although I over-packed a bit and my bags looked like they were about to explode 😂 It was a relief and I felt independent. Watching my family struggle with their luggage made me realize I took the right decision!

    I travel with a small case with wheels as you do. Plus a small tote. I went to Portugal for 2 yrs and did fine. then decided to go to Mexico but ditched the small case with wheels and opted for another tote. It has been a year now. Also did the same for 2years in Cambodia. Actually, it is more fun because you get to be creative when you need something or have to fix something....my favorite part....what is the saying...Necessity is the mother of invention. Would not have it any other way.

I was there too at the same day and walked up the same Gasse you took your photo in front of. Glad you liked my country. Looking forward to your next video.

  • @jillknox1406
    @jillknox1406 Před rokem

    I totally agree! After watching many travel programs, I learned: VERY experienced travelers always take a minimum amount of versatile belongings, usually in a single backpack. So, I always travel with just one small carry-on suitcase + maybe a purse and/or backpack (depending on the type of trip.) It makes everything SO much easier! 😊

    Could you make a video about the best time of year to travel to Japan? Or maybe the best things to do in Japan in every season? I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

    I always only travel with a carry on bag and light backpack as my hand bag. Only time I needed a big suitcase was when I moved to another country temporarily.
    Once on a trip, another person in our party packed everything in one giant bag. When we got to our destination her bag was lost! She had to buy clothes and toiletries for the rest of the trip - her bag was finally recovered on the last day! It was really a terrible experience for her.
