- Are you an overpacker who would love to be able to ditch the checked luggage and be able to travel the world in just a carry on? Don't worry, you are not a lone and just a few years ago I was in your shoes. In fact I remember the exact moment when I decided I needed to learn how to pack more efficiently. Over the years, I have mastered the art of packing a carry on. My latest prideful packing moment was when I was able to pack for 3 weeks in Peru where I had to pack for all four seasons and many different climates and activities. So let me tell you, it is possible!
I am about to embark on a 2 week European travel adventure and thought I would share with you how I have mastered packing in a carry on and how you can too. So the real question is, Are you willing to take the challenge and ditch the checked luggage? Who is packing a carry on for their next adventure? đđ»ââïž

Are you an overpacker and want to ditch the checked bag for good? What if I told you it is possible to only travel with carry on. Do you dare to take the challenge and ditch the checked bag for your next trip?
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing â€ïžđ
Thank you for watching! I hope this has helped you ditch the checked bag and pack more efficiently for a carry on!
WOW Full time RN and travel as much as you do, much respect! Great video, so many helpful tips and everyone should hear because everyone over packs, haha! Thanks for sharing!
SimpsOn The Go Only working 3 days a week is a perk! I have control over my schedule which allows me to take a week off without any vacation time which is a major perk! And letâs face it, my job requires me to blow off some stress and I use traveling as my stress reliever đđŒ
Hmmm...you are going to Hungary yeah? I love Europe, we are currently planning our 4th Europe trip which will be for 3 months, traveling mostly via trains with a couple of short flights as well. Capsule wardrobe is the only way to go with carry-on only. We usually travel in spring or fall, and I usually pack 3 or 4 very thin linen scarves which really help to extend the wardrobe a lot and add splashes of colour! They can also keep your bare neck covered or use as a head cover when needed. I also pack a set of then thermal underwear, perfect for layer or even sleeping in. One tip is to switch out as many liquids as you can for solids, like shampoo bar, conditioner bar, solid deodorant, solid lotion bar, toothpaste tabs, you can even get perfume in a solid if you look hard enough. The less liquid you have the easier time you will have at airport security. Another tip would be to check the website of the airline you are using to see what their restrictions are for carry-on bags; many have weight restrictions as well as size. For me instead of conditioner and body lotion I buy coconut oil in a 100ml/3.4oz tube and it doesn't count as a liquid because coconut oil is a solid when at room temp. And it's great for skin and air and smells sooo good!! For footwear I take one pair of black Blundstone boots, super comfortable, stylish and you can even wear them with a casual dress or skirt. I don't take anything else for my feet, and don't need to. And I make sure my new pair of well broken in so I have no blisters or sore feet at all. If you do feel a blister coming on I recommend mole skin, I'm in Canada so not sure if you have it in the USA or maybe it has a different name. Basically it is sheets of sticky bandage without the cotton pad in the middle so it sticks well to the area needed, you just cut it to size. You can even layer it on itself to get a thicker padding. Another tip is to use your deodorant on the bottom of your feet, it helps keep the dry and stops them from slipping around and rub.
Love your new intro!!!!!đ and yes I want a video of whatâs in your backpack!!!!âșïž
Cheraya Miyoko I feel the intro still needs some work but itâs getting there! Maybe my next video will be a whatâs in my backpack đ€
Great video and tips!
Thank you and your welcome! I hope you found this helpful to allow you to ditch the check in luggage and only travel with a carry on!
After watching numerous videos of this type, I've finally found yours and no need to look further. Exactly the type of capsule wardrobe I was looking for. I'm not going until next February, but after 2 other trips to Europe in winter and packing way to much I've decided on a back pack. Going to Paris, then Florence and Rome and have heard horror stories of dragging wheeled luggage over cobblestone and I just to be free of all that. I might have to get some compression bags, but I'm determined. I went to Greece last February just in time, before all the lockdowns. Can't wait to travel again.
Iâm glad you found this helpful! This is how I pack for all of my trips and it has never failed me. And touching on the cobblestones as someone who has traveled with luggage on cobblestone, you have a smart idea!
Whoop whoop! Iâm going to Paris next February for 10 days as well and have been binge watching packing videos cause Iâm totally an overpacker and I really donât want to go through that hassle this time!
@@RahOfThemyscira I hope you found this video helpful to help you not over pack! These are all tips that I use every time I travel and I haven't checked a back in years! So stop over packing and ditch the checked bag!
@@TheWanderfulLifeofKayla Yes I absolutely did! Thank you very much.
@@RahOfThemyscira your welcome! Enjoy your time in Paris!
Best packing video ever.
I am not an over packer but I have never travelled without a check in bag. Some day I want to be able to do this. Great tips in this video. :)
Seriously, once you master the art of packing a carry on you will never go back. I cant tell you the last time it travelled with something other than a carry on.
Thank you for your video, I really liked your capsule wardrobe! I have some tips, too. I wear nude, toeless compression socks (and pack a black pair) on travel and sightseeing days. I use a TSA-approved bag that holds much more than a quart-sized ziplock bag as I have to pack my daily wear contacts that take up a lot of room. I also wear minimal jewelry and put it on after going thru TSA Precheck. I Keep my iPad mini, TSA bag and phone in the same outside pocket of my personal item (which is a convertible backpack with a detachable adjustable crossbody strap by LUG) in case Iâm at an airport that doesnât use Precheck (makes it quick with everything in one pocket). I pack socks to lounge in the plane/hotel and flip-flops for the plane bathroom and walking around hotel, pool or beach. Iâm obsessed with the LUG travel and organization brand and the hardest part isnât packing, itâs deciding what bag-accessories to use! I use my LUG travel pillow (curls up tiny) and pack a tan or black belt bag (strap is removable so can be used during the day as a beltbag or crossbody, then remove strap and use as a clutch for evenings. I take toothpaste tablets in a pill case (found on Amazon) and pack hand, laundry, shampoo and conditioner âleavesâ or Lush hard soap and cut enough for the days Iâll need. I take a 10â-12â iPhone cords since most outlets arenât close enough to the bed. I buy cords, adapters & converters in bright colors so I wonât forget and can easily spot when packing. I take a small nightlight with 2 USB ports and use the devices and walk to the bathroom without waking my husband up. Sorry this is so long, but I hope some my tips will help you, too. Enjoy safe travels everyone! đ€âïž
Thanks for all of the amazing tips!
Thank you! This really helps! I've been am overpacker & can no longer do that ... shoulder issues require me to really pack light these days & it doesn't come naturally for me being such a pack rat!!!
It comes with practice. Good luck packing light! Once you have it mastered you will never go back!
Very helpful tx!!!
Glad you found this to be helpful!
Rewind....it would be nice e touch see how you packed the suitcase.
Iâd love to see a video about washing clothing when traveling.
I have been traveling with a carry-on for quite a while now. But I always love learning more about it. I also want to learn how to keep the bag lighter because it is hard putting it in the overhead when you have people so close by. Thank you for this informative video. Can you tell me what brand your brown boots are. The boots with all the straps on the side. I have watched other videos on this topic and they say to wear your heaviest items on your body.
I love carry on only travel! I realized a long time ago that I was over packing and what I packed I never wore. Once I realized that a capsule wardrobe worked I've been doing it ever since! I am glad you found this video informative and hope that you took away a tip or two! My brown boots are literally 10+ yrs old. I love them so much I had the soles replaced so unfortunately I dont know the brand. I did get them from DSW though if that helps!
Thank you!
Your welcome! Are you planning a trip somewhere soon?
@@TheWanderfulLifeofKayla yes New Orleans!
@@yancy811 I LOVE New Orleans! It's one of my favorite cities in the US! I hope you have a lot of fun! Have you ever been before?
Could you please link the clothes that you brought?? I really love the light sweater peacoat thing! I also love the thinner long sleeves!
I LOVE my light peacoat jacket. I have it in several colors. The link to the jacket is here: bit.ly/3qusTI5
My thin long sleeves are from Lululemon and the link to them is here: bit.ly/3fLYXkN
I found a compact makeup kit. It is a little bigger than I thought it would be so I will see how it works.
Awesome! Thatâs one way to save space!
Can I have the measurements of the carry on suitcase ? Thanks
I am really loving these pack for 2- 3 weeks in a carry on. I love traveling and always take a 28 inch and overpack don't wear but half of what I take. I hate checking bags and waiting for them after I return home because I'm exhausted after flying. I loved this I'm also a registered nurse who loves traveling covid has ruined my travel plans for 2020 and possibly 2021 do you travel alone ever or always with someone when you go outside of the US.
Girl, you need to ditch that checked bag. Your life will be so much easier. I canât tell you the last time I checked a bag. And I travel alone all the time. Iâve done several international solo trips. Some trips completely solo and other trips partly solo, met friends along the way. I donât discriminate about how or who I travel or donât travel with!
@@TheWanderfulLifeofKayla I definitely need to step out of my comfort zone and start traveling alone and not miss out waiting on someone to be able to go with me. I definitely wanna travel all over Europe, Asia, Middle East so many countries I wanna see once covid restrictions are over. I have been to Athens, Rome,Naples,Sorrento, Israel and Jordan have so much more I wanna see but I know I'll have to go on my own sometimes so glad I found you're channel. I definitely will try the carry on only and a personal item for my next trip I know it will be much easier to get around and I won't over pack.
@@Lisa-kz7vw if you wait for someone to travel with, you will never travel and experience life. The second I realized that I have more fun alone and can create the trip that I want, I fell in love with solo travel. And yeah, ditch the carry on and create a nice capsule wardrobe. You will thank me later!
I went to Israel/Europe for 3 months this last winter and packed it all in a carry on!
Elysia I Isnât carry on only the best? I tell people all the time that itâs 100% possible. People over pack all the time. Only pack what you need and a carry on is all you need! And Israel sounds amazing! I would LOVE to go there. Did you enjoy it?
@@TheWanderfulLifeofKayla Yes! I never find myself running out of clothes because I always prefer to do laundry while I'm away. I only run into issues when I buy too many souvenirs and try to bring them all home hehe!
@@elysia1154 Yeah I used to be that person that buys a tons of souvenirs but I no longer do. I just buy a magnet from each country and sometimes something else. Like when I was in Turkey I bough a Turkish bath town because hello, they are amazing! But yeah carry on is the only way to go. I don't remember the last time I checked a bag....
Packing for a single season is probably the easiest for me, but I definitely struggle when I need to deal with multiple seasons đ
I used to think that but once I packed for all four seasons in a carry on plus hiking boots and attire to trek the Salkantay in Peru my mind has been forever changed. A capsule wardrobe where everything goes together is key. Being able to mix and match to make differ outfits will help. I only travel with a carry on now and I love it. Being able to pack minimally is great. So you can do it! I believe in you!
@@TheWanderfulLifeofKayla I'll definitely have to try it out the next time one of those trips comes up đ But I think that for the next while, I'll be waiting until traveling gets a little simpler again đ
Where is the grey jacket from? It's so cute!!
Itâs from a small boutique in Michigan!
Powder dry shampoo is great :)
RagnheiĂ°ur HlĂf ĂrnĂœjardĂłttir Couldnât agree more!!
What is the name of that luggage, I like the white . Please share!
I love my luggage! It is from calpak! My exact luggage is no longer sold. But here is a link to both packing cubes and a similar piece of luggage from Calpak

What is the weight limit for carry on
That will be dependent on airline. Here in the US there is no weight limit but some airlines are strict on size and items. Europe is strict of size and weight.
The video should be called 'WHAT to pack in a carry on for two weeks'. Having found this video I was expecting to get tips on HOW to pack all those items into a carry on suitcase, but the suitcase wasn't even opened... Or did I miss anything?..
All said items fit in carry on....
Yes I was hoping to see how they were packed in also
In FactâŠ

Thanks for watching. Glad it inspired you to leave a comment đ
My only problem with these videosâŠâŠwhat about night time outings? I pack very light but when go to Europe, we treat ourselves to high end restaurants. No way am I going to wear black jeans to dinner. I will say that it also depends on age, weâre retired and in our 50âs and 60âs.
These videos are for people who are minimalist. Not everyone who travels needs or wants to pack for fancy dinners. Your age of retirement status also doesnât matter. At the end of the day you should pack what you want. I just share how I pack.
@@TheWanderfulLifeofKayla It was great video. Perhaps my delivery came off harshly. Iâm just surprised how no one ever mentions dressy attire. Many places do have a dress code. The Comment was simply my opinion which I thought was okay since you allow you comments. But I do think you should be mindful of how you dress for a particular setting. And by the way, I only travel with a carryon, and 2 pairs of shoes for a monthâs stay.
Hopefully you took enough undergarments to be changing periodically đ€ą
Comments like this just make me laugh đ€Ł
