🌻 Extra info about what I packed
I ended up taking around 4-5 tops in the end as I realised I also had my workout tops that I could wear if I wanted to. I also decided to take my older pair of Nike walking sneakers which I knew I could throw out along the way as I only wanted them for a portion of the trip. Packing this way really lightened my bag and ensured my luggage was only around 8kg~. Honestly, this has been the perfect amount for 3+ weeks of travel. This is exactly how much I take for 4, 5, 6+ weeks also 😊.

🌻 More about this video
In this video I'm sharing all the tips and tricks I use to travel the world with JUST a carry on. Travelling light has been a freeing, life changing (no joke) experience, and I would never go back to paying for checked baggage.
Once you understand what and how to pack for travel, you'll start to see how easy it really is. Plus, the amazing benefit of travelling with carry on is you can stay within budget, or potentially save money on your travels.
Let's not make travelling a burdensome, difficult experience. Travelling should be fun, easy and definitely shouldn't put enormous strains on our wallets.
Check out this video on how to pack with just a carry on so you can embark on your next [no checked baggage] adventure ;). - Jak na to + styl
One of my biggest “flex’s” is that I can fit all my clothes for 2 weeks in one medium packing cube
Haha that’s amazing!! I would love to see that video 😹. Tell me all your secrets 👀
I’ve done all international (up to three weeks) and domestic traveling the past two years with carry on only, and it’s a life changer! So much less stress!
Ah love it! It really is a life changer, isn’t it! 😍✈️
Did you also shop souvenirs/things to bring back?
@mina0398 Occasionally, but I’ll only buy something if I absolutely love it and can see myself using it when I’m back home/or whilst travelling. I’ve definitely made the mistake of buying small souvenirs, items, etc and then never looking at them again as soon as I get home 😅. So I try to be very deliberate, and if I do buy something it’ll often be light/small. But if I know I’m going to an area where there will be interesting things and potentially more to buy then I’ll under pack purposefully so that I can buy a few things ☺️
Beautiful video. Great tips. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️
Oh yeah baby! Keep travelling and keep rocking those shades.
Woo!! Thank you ☺️
awesome video, first time seeing this bag, def gonna pick it up soon
Thanks for watching! 😊. It’s a great bag honestly! Give it a try ☺️
is is the best packing video I've ever seen bravo!
Aww thank you so so much!! You’re so sweet 🥹🥰
I just came back from a 2 week stay in Poland and I used the same backpack. I also talked my wife into going with a carry on only.
Ohh how amazing! It’s a great backpack, isn’t it! That’s great you managed to get your wife to use carry on. I hope you both had a great trip! 😃
Great practical video! Thank you, Libby )
Oh great!! Thank you so much for watching! 😍
Your video is so pleasant to watch. Voice over is extremely soothing as well. ❤
Thank you so much 🥰. I’m so happy to hear this. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment ❤️
Loved this video! You fit everything you need ❤
Thank you for watching!! ☺️ yes, it’s so easy to pack carry on. I love it 😍
I've done carry-on only on my last two trips to Japan (albeit with a carry-on roller and a backpack that can fit under the seat) and it was a game changer for me. Since I visit family in Japan, it's customary for us to bring souvenirs when we visit, so I need to have a roller, but I'll look into a travel backpack and a sling perhaps when I go next time lol great vid btw. Carry-on only is the way to go!
Oh that’s awesome! It really makes travelling so much easier. Totally understand what you mean by bringing back souvenirs. It is nice to sometimes have the extra space to buy some items, and get gifts for family and friends. It just really depends on the type of trip you do! It’s nice to know you have the option to just bring carry on though. Once you realise you can travel relatively “light”, it really opens up a lot of travel doors haha. Enjoy your next travel adventure 😉
thanks for the video! I'm planning to travel soon with a carry on only. I like your editing🌱
Oh yay! I’m excited for you to experience it for yourself 😍. And thank you for your lovely comment 🥰
Well done! I use packing cubes too, but I like the idea of using the flat bag for undies and socks. 😊
How good are packing cubes 😍. Yay! Defintely try out the flat bags, it makes a difference when space is limited 😊
*yutulu* bags just outclassed the rest..too good
Yay so glad! ☺️
i love you so much! I recently just found your bbkbags and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
You’re so sweet 🥹 thank you for your kind words!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. More to come!! 🥰❤️
thank you so much very helpful
You’re so welcome 🥰
Hi Libby, great video! Thank you :)
Where did you get your microfibre towel from? Xx
Hey Georgi!! The towel is from a brand called ‘AQUIS’ ☺️xx
Awesome video. Thank you
I’m so glad you liked it! Thank you for taking the time to comment 🥰❤️
Can you do a video on hair care and growing your hair long pls? your hair is beautiful!
Thank you so much lovely 🥰 yes absolutely! That video is on my list and will be something I get to in the very near future ❤️
great video📸
Thanks for watching 🥰❤️
I've been wanting to try carry on. Going to try getting a smaller bag like yours!
Yes try it!! You won’t regret it ;) ❤️
What brand are the bags?
@@amtopm9385 Funny enough these are both from IKEA! Great material, great design and they were super affordable 😊
@@libbyyazbekHi Libby the backpack and the weekend bag is part of the VÄRLDENS series. That is IKEA's travel series, they even have a 30L carry on luggage as well 😊
Oh amazing! I didn’t know this. Thank you for sharing the name of the series. I love their bags. Honestly some of the best I’ve used. A little travel hack 😎
Great tips! I need to get one of those small packable backpacks.
Where's your next destination?
Thank you ☺️. Yes, try to find the foldable ones. They’re so handy! I’m thinking South Korea could be my next destination.
It looks so interesting and full of culture. And sooooo many foods to try 🤤
Oh that Pink *yutulu* bag
🥰🥰🥰
How do u manage/segregate the gym clothes after use since they have absorbed all the sweat from exercising?
TIP get individual shoe bags as its easier to pack each shoe in diff slots in the bag
Oo love this idea! A game of Tetris with the shoes always 😅. Thank you for taking the time to comment 🥰
Where did you put your smallest cube with gym wear? It's not in your backpack and tote.
Oh oops!! I must have accidentally cut that out in my editing and not realised 😹. It goes into my ‘main’ carry on bag. I just squish it in really close to my other packing cubes. It works well because it’s small and the packing cubes can fit against each other. Thanks for pointing that out 😁
love the video and tips. do you have any tips for multi country destination to travel to with just a carry on?
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the video! I’d say my main tips are to try and pack light clothing items that can be easily layered. That way you get the option to pack a few more pieces and if you are going between climates then you can layer your clothing to keep you warm. Also, if you have a rough idea of where you might be going (whilst you’re still at home) then you can plan quite effectively the types of clothing you’ll want to wear and bring. To keep things light, I’ll bring jackets that are light weight but offer a lot of warmth such as the raincoat I packed in the video. As it’s close to my body, it adds a lot of warmth without the bulk. As for things like extra shoes, or basics like toiletries, I purposely under pack because it’s so easy to stop at a convenience / grocery store in your destination country to stock up on toothpaste, deodorant, soaps, etc. Then I sometimes like to buy a pair of cheap shoes that I’ll use solely on my trip that can be thrown out during or before flying home. This is to prevent me from ruining good pairs that might not withstand my destination or if I know that destination will need something highly specific. Then as for other small tips- Reddit is a life saver! I like to google my destination and see what others have brought/packed/described about the place to help me understand my different locations. At the end of the day, most things can be bought, and/or sent back home if you’re really in a pinch. And my most important rule of thumb- if I haven’t worn the item at home in the last few weeks (weather dependent) then it’s likely I won’t wear it whilst I’m overseas. So bring the items you love, to ensure you’ll actually use and enjoy using them! Lastly, for long term travel, pack clothing that will get you through about 1 week. If you’ve got one week covered, then you’ve got 4,5,6 weeks covered. Get to a washing machine and you’ve got fresh clothes! Oh and actually lastly (haha), I pack multi use charges and tech equipment. Try to limit cables and tech stuff and possibly look at purchasing multi connection devices so you’re carry 2-3 electronic things, rather than 4-6 (ie cables). I hope that helps!! I have a video coming soon on more travel tips and hacks ☺️☺️
@@libbyyazbek Thanks, you have some great useful, practical tips and advise 😀 Defo useful information to have as i've booked a multiple destination european trip this month. you have experience of staying in hostels too?
Oh how exciting!! I have stayed in hostels before, but that’s when I did the traditional “backpacking” around Asia/Europe early 20s travel haha. I don’t stay in hostels anymore. But when I did, I always checked the reviews across multiple sites, ensured I checked for bed bugs, stayed in smaller rooms (2-4 people rather than 6+), and always read reviews about bathrooms (as they tend to be the icky factor with hostels). But, they are great places to meet others! Good luck on your travels 🙏🏼
@@libbyyazbek definitely will need the good luck with this new adventure. I do prefer hotels, but trying something different. is there a way to contact you directly for further tips and advise?
@@duanedavidson7702 Feel free to message on YT! I don't really use social media otherwise!
You should take a look a solid cosmetic options like shampoo/conditioner/body oil bar.
Oh that’s a great idea! I will check those out 🥰. Thank you!!
So sad I can’t find the carry bag from ikea! The link is not exactly the same one from the video! I really want to find the one from the video (if you could help me thks). Loved the video and editing ❤️❤️
Hey lovely! I’ve just updated the link so it should direct you to the correct one. I must have accident copied the wrong version 😁. I hope that helps!! ❤️❤️
Hi, where did you purchase that bag? It’s so functional!
Hey lovely! I’ve linked as many products as I could in the description ☺️ but the two main bags are from IKEA! They are awesome bags. I’ve just completed several weeks travelling around Europe with them and they were perfect 😍
Do you have a video for autumn or winter travel? Sweaters take up huge space
I just pack one sweater and a lightweight one at that, either in merino or cashmere. It's going to be covered by my coat anyway. Plus it's Merino, not touching my skin therefore it takes a long time to smell bad that it requires washing or changing that often.
This was my packing list for one month in Hokkaido, Japan in the middle of winter. Just an urban travel holiday staying in cities.
1 x Faux Leather Jacket
1 x Faux Fur Knee length coat, which was stored in a 14 litre Sea to Summit Event compression bag while it was packed.
1 x Light Cashmere Sweater
1 x Muji Down Vest Liner
2 x Icebreaker 260 Merino Thermal long sleeve top. For 95% of the time, this was all I needed as my mid layer under my coat.
2 x Merino Singlets/Vest
1 x Cotton Band T shirt, mostly to sleep in but also to layer over my long sleeve Thermals.
1 x Wool Twill Cargo Pants
1 x Jeans
1 x Track Pants
1 x Fleece Lined Leggings
1 x Thermal Leggings
3 x Pairs Merino Socks
5 x underwear
2 Bras.
1 x Insulated and Waterproof boots
1 x Palladium Platform Combat boots.
2 x Hats
1 x Wool Blanket Scarf
1 x Pair Gloves
My toiletries and electronics are pretty much the same all year round.
To be honest, I could have left the sweater, one of my boots, my jeans and one of my leggings home. I found I was rarely wearing them.
Minus the items I was wearing (usually the heaviest and bulkiest pieces), it all fitted in a 40l Durston Kakwa Backpack, including my tote bag, altogether weighed under 7 kgs.
All the hotels and Airbnb I stayed in had washing machines.
Yes so true! This is something I will make in the future ☺️. My best approach to dealing with this is to pack thermal clothing as they are thin and easy to layer ☺️
@@isleeptillnoon5256 Thanks for sharing! I'm surprised you managed to fit both coat and a jacket
@@libbyyazbek That's a good tip!
@isleeptillnoon5256 thank you for such an awesome detailed response!! 🤩🥰
Good tips thanks 😊 one thing I will say though is it’s easy to pack just in a carry on when the majority of what you’re wearing are shorts and tank tops
Yes 100% agree! It is very easy to pack for summer weather. I’ll do another video in the future when packing for “winter” / cooler weather. It’s definitely still doable 😉😊
i like the video but i cant travel with Ryanair with this backpack its too big...
I actually just came back from Europe with this exact back and flew Ryanair and they let it through 🙊. If you made sure not to overpack it too much, I think you’d have a good chance of squeezing it in. Let me know if you try!! ☺️
Really nice video very helpful. Just a few questions, what company is the foldable backpack from I don't see a link? And another question, what is the bag you used to put your passport in, I don't see a link to it? If you can provide a link for these that would be great. And again really great video, I'm going on a trip to Europe for about 3 weeks and might consider taking this bag. Also I love shopping at ikea.
Hey lovely! Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰. Unfortunately I don’t think the foldable backpack is still in stock - it was originally from H&M and it was called “Water Repellent Backpack”. I’ve linked a similar one in the description for you to check out. It’s not exactly the same, but similar ☺️. Also, the small green passport pouch was actually given to me on a Qantas flight, I don’t think those ones can be purchased. But any small structured pouch or passport holder will do the trick for your passport! I hope that helps a tiny bit. Have an amazing time on your trip to Europe! Safe travels 😍🌞
Thank you so much for replying. I just really liked how the pouch looked so I wanted to ask. 😊
You’re welcome ☺️
Do you usually shopping during your travel when you pack light as shown on the video? 😊
Hey lovely! It really depends on my destination. Places like Europe, then I will do a bit of shopping because I will have access to so much more than in my home country. In those instances I really try to pack very light/under pack slightly so I have room to buy and add things. My little hack is to bring a tote bag which I had in the video. Tote bags are amazing because they can be almost 45L of volume, and are really inconspicuous when packed. The fit under an airline seat and no one seems to question them as they just look like a normal “carry bag”. So you could always takes a foldable tote bag in your main bag in case you do want to buy stuff in your travels 😇
Hi, there! Could you share the brand of the towel? Thank you in advance!
Hi lovely! The brand is ‘Aquis’. It’s actually a hair towel, but I’ve found it to be incredibly useful in other scenarios if I need a towel 😊
@@libbyyazbek Yes! Looks great, thanks for sharing and taking the time to reply. Cheers!
You’re so welcome 🥰
Do you then have to open several bags to put all of your liquids together going through the airport?
I’ve actually never ever had to open my toiletries bags! As long as the liquids stay under 100ml then you’re good to go. I’ve flown small European airlines and I’ve never had problems with having a “main” toiletries bag (like my pink one) and then a smaller little makeup bag 😊
Are the packing cubes and clear makeup bags sold out?
No not yet! :). I’ve linked them in the description, you should still be able to get them or something very very similar ☺️
Although i’m a man and probably carry like 2-3 pair of clothes 😂, but this video still very helpful.
Hahah love it. I swear men can get away with a tiny little bag every single time! Less clothes, less toiletries, less everything 😅. Thank you for taking the time to comment ☺️
@@libbyyazbek No make up tools, no perfume, we would need one shampoo 🧴 for everything 😇. Men are simple and somewhat minimalist. But unfortunately most of them ( including me in the past ) are messy 😵💫 but it takes time to learn to organize and to be more efficient. That’s why i came here to learn from you guys 🍀😊. The space saved from all that can be use for cameras and lenses 📸.
Thank you for putting your effort into making this video. It’s very professionally done. From the script to the filming although it probably been made by a phone using cinematic mode 🤔. Despite that, footage comes out very neatly, it’s a pleasant experience to watch. I support you with a sub and i hope your channel will grow more ( i know it will ) in the future. I’m writing too much again, but anyway, good day 👍
Haha well that makes a lot of sense then! I guess we can learn from you too, and take a different type of inspiration from you when packing 😇
Aw you’re so kind! Thank you soooo much. Your support means the world to me. I’m early into this journey, and still figuring out how to film and do alllllll the things. Thanks for being here with me ☺️
where is the backpack from?
Hey lovely! It’s from IKEA :). It’s surprisingly super sturdy and very well made. Definitely check out their ‘travel’ range 🥰
what brand is your backpack ?
It’s IKEA ☺️. I’ve linked all the bags and accessory items in the description for you 😇
This ikea backpack is nice, but unfortunately with its 33x17x55 cm size its out of the carry on league (at least at wizz and ryanair).
So that’s two carry on bags then? The second bag is in no way a handbag and it really cheeses me off when passengers turn up at the departure gate with two bags of this size. It is taking up two carry on slots…
Yes, so technically a carry on and a personal bag :). Granted this tote bag is a big chunky and I often don’t end up using that on the plane, and instead just open for the smaller foldable backpack that is super condensed and doesn’t take up much space. Mostly for my laptop! I often just fold the tote bag and add it into my bigger backpack in case I do happen to need an extra bag. But it does fit under the seat so it’s usually okay! Totally understand how it could be frustrating though. Thank you for watching anyway and sharing your thoughts ☺️
That tote bag isn't full and can be pushed under a seat.
@@electrictwilightyes exactly 😎 it’s so easy to squish and make smaller, that’s why I love it!
Which the country you travelled to liked it more and advice someone who want to travel to travel to this country ?
Thailand was great! Lovely people, great food, beautiful scenery and interesting culture!!
@@libbyyazbek All respect to you
Wait…how do you take so many liquids? I have gotten scolded by TSA. I don’t even bring shampoo/conditioner, makeup is minimal. The 311 rule ruins me. I live in the US, is this totally different in other countries?
Hey lovely! Oh wow, that’s very interesting. I’ve never had an issue before! Maybe it is more strict in the USA? I’ve flown a lot- Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and as long as my liquids are under 100ml per bottle and fairly compact (usually 1 bag), and then a smaller makeup bag I seem to be okay. This could definitely be a USA thing! 🤔
@@libbyyazbek Wow..I feel so duped by US travel 🥲 This is great news for international travel though!! 💗
At least YAY for international travel!! ☺️ Really good to know about the US though. Thanks for taking the time to comment and ask. Very helpful to know!
how many days/months is this bag for?
So this is for 3-4 weeks! I usually pack with the mindset of packing for around 1 week (with a few extra tops 😅). That usually covers me for multiple weeks because it’s hard to wear more than one weeks worth of clothes in reality 😊
Is this too big for ryanair?
I personally had success with flying Ryanair just a few weeks ago with this bag. I packed the “tote” bag into this bigger backpack and just used my smaller hand bag to carry my laptop as to not draw attention. They did weight my bag, but it was under the weight limit. They didn’t check the dimensions!
You didn’t pack any chargers !
Ahh! I promise I did 😂 this was my first “packing” video and I forgot to film a few smaller items, like my electronics haha. But I pack using multi use plugs, I’ll bring a global charging plug, a power bank that is strong enough to charge my laptop but still allowed on the plane (planes have voltage restrictions), and I love bringing my magnetic apple charging cable because I can charge my AirPods and iPhone easily without needing to worry about the usbc outlet. Thank you for pointing out I missed my cables! I hope this helps a bit though ☺️
Well yeah, of course they fit easily in a packing cube - those half shirts you packed are only marginally longer than a sports bra!
Haha they do fit me like a normal shirt though 😁. But it helps if they are thinner so you have space to squish and pack with flexibility! Thanks for watching ☺️
How many kgs in total?
Usually no more than about 8-9kg. I try keep my main carry on at around 7-8kg and then my little backpack/smaller bag at around 1-2kg. This is usually a good way to do it and avoid the bags being weighed 😊
Thanks 😊….. what’s the total weight? Because now, even if you have a small backpack if you are over 17 lbs/ 7or8 kg (i think 🤔) you will have to pay extra money 🤨😔
Yes, you’re right ;). My main bag is around 7-8kg. My smaller bag is a a few kgs because of my laptop, but I hide that one behind me if I’m near the airline staff so they don’t see it haha. I also sometimes take a smaller bag just to fit my laptop so it looks like a “personal bag” and they don’t weigh personal bags (in my experience) 😁
Many budget airlines only let yoi have 7 or 10 kg altogether or just 1 bag. How does that work for summer/winter. Does a hip strap really help with weight of pack please?
Hey lovely! @lbunnygordon113 I found the waist strap on my old bag only useful when I was walking for long period of time from destination to destination. I would say at that time I was doing more traditional “backpacking travel”. Now, I do less budget/backpacking travel so find that I can get away without having the waist strap. It’s really a personal preference! The waist strap just helps support a heavier backpack as the hips carry the load as opposed to your shoulders. If I were you I would consider the type of travel you want to do, and then go and try out a few backpacks in store :). If you are taking a heavy backpack, then likely having waist straps is the way to go! ❤️
I would not travel carry on only in Japan. Absolutely so much stuff to buy at a very affordable price
Yes good point! Japan is high on my bucket list. I was considering taking carry-on on the flight over with another smaller soft bag inside so I can buy stuff and then check one or two of the bags in if needed on the way out (as long as I’m heading straight back home) 😁😁
@@libbyyazbek you need to go! You can fill a checked bag pretty quickly depending on what you buy. Some people just buy a checked bag there to not pay the bag on the way there
I've never been to Europe but I'll make it out there eventually 🤙🏼 I want to return to Japan again next year I enjoyed it that much
Ohhh I bet there are just so many amazing things to see and do there (and buy 😅)!! I can’t wait, it’s a place I’d love to get to within the next year.
Europe is cool, but soooo different to Asia. I honestly love SEA so much, I have no doubt I’d fall in love with Japan.
I like your idea of buying a checked bag over there, something I will likely do when I go 😍
7kg?
Around 8kg! 😊 you could also easily remove a few clothing items, and one pair of shoes to lighten the load!
rather just carry (1) 35 o 40l bag lol.
Yeah for sure! Whatever works and feels good for your travels ☺️😊
'How to pack light when travelling'...
Proceeds to pack different sets of clothes for 7 days and 3 pairs of shoes 😅
Haha well this is for about 1 month of travelling! Honestly it’s been a perfect amount with my bag only weighing around 8kg. I took out a few shirts tbh lol, only ended up with about 5. I purposely took an old pair of Nike walking sneakers so I could throw them out as I knew I’d only need them for a portion of the trip. But apart from that, it has been a perfect amount of items! 😉😁
High quality 1:1 bag. Same as the original, I'm very satisfied *luxdups* .
what’s ur tiktok?
I don’t have tiktok! :)
