Everything I Packed for Month Of Interrailing Solo (Only 40L Rucksack!)
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 21. 08. 2024
- Eeeek I hope this essential backpackers packing list for my 1 month solo interrailing trip helps you! I only took a 40L Osprey rucksack (which worked perfectly!) and a 15L daysack, so I tried to pack as minimally as possible. Being a minimalist backpacker - or at least, attempting to be - is so much fun! Let me know if you have any Qs regarding anything in this video! Lots of love x
Alsoooo, go watch ma interrailing vlogs! I don't think I've ever worked so hard on some videos ever! đâșïž x

Hi my name is Jade and welcome to UnJaded Jade! I post every Wednesday about varying topics I truly care about, from self confidence and veganism, to academic help and motivation đ

How old are you? - 18
Which camera do you use? - Canon 750D
When did you start your channel? - 17th Feb 2017
P.S i love you. so much. thank you for finding me and for being here and for gifting me your time. you are so loved.
I like that you shared what you packed AFTER your trip because you could then say whether it was even useful to pack or not used at all.
im the 1000th like xD
Agree đđŒđ
It's insane that youre 18. I'm 21 and can't imagine doing this with other people, let alone alone. I wouldn't know what I'm doing. How do you have the balls and the motivation? And can you do a video on everything you should know about/before you go solo travelling?
I went on my first backpacking trip with a friend when we were around your age and it was such a blast. I went again alone for 5 weeks when I was 24. I highly recommend it, maybe start with something small like a weekend getaway somewhere close
I'm 31 and can't imagine doing it with my friends or husband let alone by myself đ xx
@@crazyliv I feel like it would be so lonely how do you meet people?
@@drewkavi6327 you stay in hostels because they are full of other solo travelers. In many of the cities I would hang out with other girls from my room, we would go sight seeing together or go out dancing at night together. I mostly slept in female only dorms but also a few co-ed ones. Most guys were also lovely and friendly and would join our group so it feels even safer going out partying late at night, we'd all make sure to come home together. PS most hostels are super clean, modern and safe so don't worry ( i know i was in the beginning, like a lot! but quickly you learn it's all fine)
@@crazyliv in the dorms is there an expectation to make friends and talk to eachother or can you just kind of chill and keep to yourself? iâm hoping to travel but iâm quite socially anxious and worried about the social aspect of hostels & there being a lot of pressure to socialise
OMG jade is on a roll with these vids! Good job jade!
I'M HUSTLING FOR YOU GUYS đâš xx

If anyone wants to know where her travel diary is from itâs ÂŁ7 from Paperchase :)
molly tasmin thankyou x
Got it for my birthday and it was the loveliest thing! đŠ x
Hey Jade! Great video, thank you for going so in-depth! This sounds like a dumb idea, but could you maybe do a video rundown on how hosteling works? I've done it in a group for a few days, but feel like going solo would be much more of a challenge and I don't know how well I would be taking care of myself for an extended period of time. Like if cooking/washing clothes/storing luggage is available in every hostel, or what you do if not, things like that. Basically a Hosteling 101 I guess haha, I don't know, I'd just find it really useful!
may or may not be rewatching all the vlogs tonight đ€«

THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME thank you!! âșïž I'm so glad you liked them so much x
Nice! đ Versatility is the number one thing for minimalist travel. After some trips I managed to put everything in a 35 liter backpack (no extra bag). This is for trips of 3 weeks and longer. Everything under that I take an even smaller one. The freedom of it is the best. đ And i find it fun to get to know what you actually need and what I can leave at home.
Sounds great!! Do you happen to have a bit of advice for me? Doesn't have to be in-depth, anything's appreciated :)
@@kassandra8973 For sure! This comment is from 3 years ago, and because of the big C I didn't travel as much during that time, but these tips are my faves: đ1. Roll everything and put it into packing cubes. Folding takes too much space. Look for videos on how to do it (ranger roll) 2. Versatile shoes. I like flip flops which double as shower shoes, for example, and hiking sandals which double as shoes for wearing when swimming on rocky shores 3. Bring a big microfiber towel. Dries quickly and needs little space 4. Shampoo/soap bars. They are small and are the equivalent of a few bottles of shampoo. 5. Learn to need less stuff. đ
Hope this helps a bit! There are many videos on youtube about stuff like this as well, which you can adapt to your needs and destination. Happy travels!
@@juliam2222 thank you so much!! Didn't think you'd reply haha, i'll definitely remember these tips :))
@@kassandra8973 Haha, no problem! I got a notification and since I don't comment much I was curious. :)
you've made me really want to go inter-railing now! i've always been a bit afraid to because i've always been a bit anxious in foreign countries but you make it seem super manageable.
Yayyy!! I promise that the thought of it is much scarier than just going for it! ;) đ xxx
This was so helpful for when I go for a month to France in April (gap yah girls together)! You're an icon, and I'm so glad you're uploading so often, I've missed you! xx
This video was suggested to me like 30 minutes ago and now my brother gave a flyer about Interrail tips to me. I don't believe in destiny but I guess I got a new idea how I could spend the time after I finish school this spring. This is simply too weird to be a coincidence
I wonder if you really went on a trip ;))
I have never seen you before but I liked your enthusiasm and big smile it definitely pulled me into the video. I'm thinking of road tripping through Europe this year after I finish my study. It was nice seeing your video making me realize packing is something you really have to think about.
I think that every young person should do this. My daughter went with a friend on an inter rail trip for 2 weeks through Europe. They had an amazing time.
I have my JEE (itâs literally the most important exam of my life in a month) here in India and Iâm freaking out
Yesterdayâs video helped a lot thanks jade x
Ayeee sameeee
GOODLUCK GUYSSSSS^^ -from the UK
@@anushkakulkarni2238 good luck!!
@@Qurann21 thank youu!
Gave jee last year.
Just stay calm, positive thoughts and reaffirmations help a lot
I love that youâve gained an emotional attachment to your rucksacksđđ
Idk why but normally I get bored watching these kinda videos but you just make everything a bijillion times better! Youâre so good that I didnât use a real word to describe how good you are! â€ïžđđ
All these uploadssss, wow!!! Watching this as Iâm wearing the motivation t-shirt and drinking tea đ€â€ïž
I'm trying đđ and NO WAYYY I'm so honoured you have the T!! Have the best evening x
Thank you! Likewise xxxx the T is SO comfy, I LOVE it! Wearing it even when Iâm not studying - itâs amazing đđđđđ
So much stuff! When I traveled half a year, I had just one 55l Backpack. And in this I had things like a tent, sleeping bag and my cooking equipment :D
So you can go much lighter, if you like.
Loved this video! Can you please do a video on your menstrual cup? How old you were when you started using it, your mums opinion, how you decided which one to buy etc. Xx
You're ON IT with the uploads Jade - I'm loving it!! Thanks for such a long and detailed video xx
Hey, do you go to SMAGS?? xx
Thank you so much Jade, it was exactly what I needed! â„
I'm going right now solo packing Interrail, challenging myself to do it in a minimalistic way, plastic-free while filming and sharing all the valuable lessons I learned!
Let's do it haha!! âȘâ
Oh girl. I'm getting ready to interrail Europe for 6 months to a year + IN THE WINTER and I have nothing more than one, 35L backpack. I did a test pack today and my anxiety levels rose through the roof. Realized I'm gonna have to sacrifice some things that I'd consider essentials, including the sweater I bought to be my one "cute" item. It's just not practical enough. The 3XL hoodie stays though..Hahah!!
how was it?
Jade, I'm very excited for my newest adventure because, among other things, I'm staying in a hostel on one night, and I wouldn't know what to do if it weren't for your travel vlog series! I know it's not very exotic, but I'm excited for it. ;)
This is so exciting, eeek! đ I genuinely had no idea what to expect pre-interrailing, so I'm glad that I've been able to help you in some way! I hope you have the best time and meet some very cool people x
I'm currently on a gap year too and will be solo traveling to Denmark and the Netherlands at the end of this month. Thanks for sharing your adventures through your vlogs! I'll be filming mine in the next coming weeks as well.
What did you think of Denmark? :)
What is gap year?
@@egorruban7768 a year where you are taking a pause from studying and either working or traveling
I'm litrally tHriVInG cause Jade's on a roll with these videos
genuinely THANK YOU SO MUCH!! đ all those hours editing is so validated with comments like this! âșïž x
@@UnJadedJade Just woke up to you replying to my commentđ ugh you just made my dayđâ€
Loving these quick uploads Jade
This was a super useful video! I've been to Europe once before, and I took WAY too much stuff with me that I didn't end up using. I'm planning on going back at the end of this year, and I want to try and be more efficient and effective with my packing this time, so that I won't have to lug around a bunch of crap that I don't need.
I was just thinking about how to pack for backpacking around Europe! Thanks for the excellent videos - I usually don't leave comments on other CZcamsrs videos, but leaving comments on yours is like talking to a friend. Your dedication to your videos is awesome â€â€â€ keep it up and good luck for your future adventures!
Awhh Keziah! âșïžđ Genuinely, thank you so much! This is so lovely of you to say!! Lots of love x
@@UnJadedJade no problem! I honestly look forward to your videos so much. If you ever come to Auckland (NZ) and would like a tour guide, hit me up! â€
Damn. That's some skillful packing Jade. đđ Feel like I'd end up taking 2 suitcases. đ
Thank you so much Jade! I'm about to go solo travelling and you mentioned a lot of helpful items I'd never even thought about
Tip for PORTABLE BATTERIES (2019): I recently traveled to Southeast Asia (China, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc.) and got found out that lithium batteries are a security hazard in airports there. Security either took my battery away, or made me put in in my Check In luggage. Would reccomend researching/ reading your power pack's details to see if it's lithium before buying/travelling with it!)
Iâm literally so unwell right now but as soon as you uploaded I clicked on this video as fast I could! Your videos always make me smile đ€đâ€ïž thank you so much Jade xx hope your having a lovely day xx
So happy that you are uploading so often at the moment! A general tip that I learnt from my mother: keeping valuables hidden and close to your body is obviously a good idea in general, but itâs also good not to keep all your valuables in one place. For instance, keep cash in a couple of different places and your card in a separate place. Keep a photocopy of your passport somewhere other than your actual passport, and if possible keep your phone in a third place. Then, if you are parted from one of you bags for some reason (you never know), you wonât be completely without some means of sorting it out.
One of the people who inspired me to start CZcams...đ Love you so much Jadeđxx
So nice to be able to watch this the last part of my trainjourney home across the Netherlands! I really like to see what other people pack for their travels and think it will be really useful for when I go travelling again! Will you also make a packing video before you go to Australia?
ALL summer stuff , no change packing all that if you go in the winter.
Winter coat, padded/ski trousers, snow boots, hiking boots, jumpers, fleece jackets, etc...
wow this was so in depth!
I wish I'd had something this specific before i went! â€ïž xxx
You are really killing it with the updates!! I am not able to control myself now as its Jade! Love u always! đđ
Back at it again with these useful videos-this will definitely be useful for my trip to France in July
can't believe I am watching it just after u uploaded maybe just 1 min later
Ayyy someone's on it đâš x
My tip - pay a bit extra and get a first class inter rail ticket. It gets you into first class lounges (except in Germany).
Me and three friends are planning to go interrailing the summer we graduate and I absolutely cannot wait, 1 month, 10/11 cities, Italy to Greece. This is gonna be so helpful to pack!! :)
Good work, Jade! Hope you had an incredible time! Once you go carry-on only, you wonât turn back and youâve figured it out early on đâïž
Great video!! :) Am going solo travelling in Europe and this was super helpful! Amazing how much you fit into 40L!
I never comment on CZcams videos, but after watching every packing video this site has to offer I keep coming back to this video to help my own packing! The most honest, relate-able, useful and fun video I've found! Great job!
Live in the Us and i plan to
Take a casual trip to london only using a backpack and a hand bag. This was very helpful, the first packing video ive seen that feels very genuine and nice. Thank you đđ
Thank you so much Jade this was really helpful! I'm thinking of going interrailing next year xx
Just took a break from rewatching all of your travel vlogs again. Missing them already đâ€ïž
Awhh! đ This is SO CUTE of you!! Thank you for all your support on them xx
Crazy! I went interraling Europe last April, for three weeks too and had only two days of rain too! Maybe thats the misterious luck of the interrailers! :) so glad u had a nice trip
Thank you for the video, I'm definitely gonna rewatch it when I'm packing for my interrail trip in spring!
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this đ
Hey Jade, I have a fear of earplugs because I naturally don't wake up till late morning, so what kind of alarm did you use to wake yourself up on those 5 am/6 am mornings? How did you hear your alarm, but not noisy hostile people?
Proximity and vibration are key. By putting it on your mattress close to your head you hear it a lot louder than the others do and you can feel the vibrations too, which help.
@@squareplayn I know that this comment is 1 year+ late, nevertheless, NEVER sleep with your phone on the bed, especially if it's plugged for charging. Both the adapter and phone might "explode" and who wants to do the spoon with a possible explosive phone? Not me at least
@@klarabergqvist8054 Fair point, thanks for the wake up call (pun intended, but thanks is honest too)
Personally, I am fine with taking that risk for the occasional few nights in dorms where I need to wake up early, but for doing it every day perhaps I'm going to reconsider. (I sleep with it next to my head every day at home too to track my sleep at home. I deliberately do have an extra slow charger to avoid it heating up at all but still... Considering a smartwatch rn, much smaller battery and even better tracking)
I wear industrial earplugs and i choose a higher pitch tone alarm and i set alarms 5 mins apart, if you have it on a wooden side table the vibrate setting makes a racket so no worries .. also set a reminder.. if you are travelling with someone both set alarms to have a back up, in addition if it is for something very important you could get a friend or relation to call you to wake you up x
Thank you Jade! You keep inspiring me on a daily basis and you're so motivating!! Keep up the incredible work đđ
Another Video???Jade you're so amazing!Thanks for uploading so often,you always make me smile.đâ€ïž
you have no idea how useful this video was for me!! thank you immensely
I donât usually comment on things but I just wanted to say thank you for how informative and helpful this video is! Will definitely be watching your other videos and subscribing!
''It was sectioned into the portion sizes. " Love it
U got me through exams. Nowadays i'm just watching your videos as I wait for my igcse results. Yeah , i wrote in October and November.
I loved your inter-railing Vlogs! Itâs something I would love to do but I wouldnât have the courage to go on my own!! I can tell you put so much effort into your videos x
I leave this week! Ahhh. I'm so excited. These videos are what showed me this was possible at 18!
I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I love it! You've become such an inspiration to me! In a week I'm going to Belgium (I'm Spanish) alone and this video was so helpful, thank you so much! PS I'm also 18 and having a gap year, which in Spanish we call "año sabåtico"
did u have a good ano sabatico apologies if i spelled that wrong
This is so helpful!! Iâm loving your uploadsâ€ïžâ€ïž
Thank you for all these videos, J! We love you đđ and omg, are there any story times you can make on this inter rail trip! Me and my girl guidesâ friends are planning on doing one!
This is great. You're so smart. I'm almost 40 yet I don't know how to take care of myself this well.
Jade Iâm living for these daily videos,
Thank you so much X
I'm taking a gap year too. I will be in a permanent residence but I plan on packing tight. It's less to worry about and easier to travel with. Your video is helping me out. Thanks!
Hey Jade, Iâm fifteen at the moment and are hoping to inter-rail Europe when i finish my GCSEs. This video was very helpful for a future teen girl traveling solo!
Iâm obsessed with your content at the moment đ„°đ„°
Awhh CARA! âșïžâš thank you so much x
all of these uploads!! absolutely lovinggg your channel lately!
I would be stressed incase I lost anything or forgot anything or lost my way around and Jade wow i'm soo happy for you to have such an amazing experience!!đ
thank you jade! this video and your vlog's are so useful, i'm travelling Europe soon by train and hostels so this is awesome :)
Very useful video!
But I was wondering, How do you travel in the cities?
For example, if you get off in a station far away from your Hostel.
Can you jump on any buss/train and just show your interrail pass? Or do you have to fill in those as well?
Thanks in advance! :)
yesss!! been loving these videos, sad itâs over :(( xxx
Did you say you received the interrail pass through the DiscoverEU competition?? I'm looking to submit my application this year and noticed that you've travelled to more than 4 countries which was the limit for the free pass... this is a really specific question but how were you able to travel to more than 4 countries? Thanks xx
You get a choice of two passes. One where you can travel within two countries and the other where travel is unlimited within a set amount of days. I may be wrong though
Does anyone know when to apply? Because I really did my research already but just couldn't find a website with information or anything :/
Eve look up 'Discover EU' and it should be the first website that comes up, applications open tomorrow (29th)
@@JaneB2000 Can I ask you what kind of question they ask in order to give you the pass? Are they easy? Do they require a lot of specific knowledge? I am also thinking of applying and thats why I ask. đ
@@emilymanta960 you have to answer questions linked to the EU and European culture, apparently its not that hard!
when watching packing videos becomes your hobby lol
I love u, u make me so confident and happy!! Love u again đđđ€
If you take your own cutlery I would maybe use bamboo because my sister had her cute personalized fork thrown away at a security checkpoint... Or just check your bag in, but then you can't use it in the airport or on the plane
I'm looking at getting this exact backpack for my next international trip! It's nice to see it in "real life" to get a better idea of how much it will hold. :)
Amber Abroad could you please tell me what brand this bag is? Thanks
14:24 gave me flashbacks to this cover teacher my high school had who always wore them and we kept annoying him about it untill he unzipped them for us đđđ
Iâd love to see you now reacting to these videos of you as a bigger traveller!
thanks so much, I'm just packing for interailing now and this video has been so useful!
I absolutely loved your Australian travel series.
I would advice not taking a sleeping bag with you when you go to Australia if you're planning on using it only for hostels as most hostels in Australia don't allow you to use sleeping bags due to risk of bed bugs being spread. From my experience of traveling from Melbourne up to Cairns hostels seem to be pretty strict about this rule. Even if you plan on camping while there it is much easier to buy a cheap sleeping bag from somewhere like Aussie Disposals and then sell it through a Backpacking group on Facebook when you're done .
Love you soooo much jadee!!!â€
Thank you Jade! This helped me so much while packing for my Interrail trip đ€©đ€đœ
I'm in love with this video, and your hair đ
I went to New Zealand just before covid with a friend who had your Osprey Fairview 40L pack. I got inspired to want to try that instead of a roller bag so I bought an Osprey Porter 30L for a trip to Germany in April 2020, but didnât go because covid hit. Now Iâm hoping to go to Scotland next May/June with the Porter. In the meantime I am having a good time researching and practice packing! I need to keep it under 12 pounds and it looks like that is feasible.
Yass Jade loving how ur spoiling us with all this content đ Made for a good birthday present too tbh
happy birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALIMA! âșïž thank you so much xx
@@UnJadedJade â€
Could you do a video on the menstrual cup? Iâve just started using them and would love a tips / tricks / advice video on it!
You should make a video on what you ate as a vegan whilst interrailing!
Iâm loving all of your Volgs!
Just bought this backpack. Seems like you were able to get a lot in there! Perfect.
Dan Galla what bag is it?? I want to buy one!
You are really working hard to make videos everyday.
Love your study videos you are such a nice person i've never seen like you on youtube
There are containers that come with spoon, fork and sometimes knife
You said you donât like plastic so you should look up dental lace !! Bc normal floss is made from nylon which is plastic
I'm travelling tomorrow and this is really helpful! thank you so much xx
Youâre living my fucking dream!!
Iâm from Germany and on exchange year in the US now and Iâll come back by the end of June. Iâll have two and a half months of free time before school will start again in mid September.
Iâve almost decided to Interrail Europe because the summer before I left, I was constantly Flixbusing around Europe, just with the exception that I came home inbetween.
Itâs been my dream for a while to do this and so now that I am 18 and I have enough money, nothing can hold me back anymore!!
This video was very useful to me and it helped me a lot for my traveling. Thank u Jade.đ
I like the study with me video it give me a lot of motivation
