okay so I just got back from Greece I
spent three weeks traveling through
Melo's Santorini knocks those mykonos in
Athens and for the 21 days I was there
all I packed was one carry-on suitcase
and one personal bag and today I'm gonna
show you how I did that
so I usually always travel with a
carry-on bag
whether it's my waste of case or the
Osprey Farpoint 40 I used to use my
Osprey backpack much more it would get
really happy because it's a 40 liter so
it would get heavy and I just didn't
like having so much weight on my back so
that's when I switched to the suitcase
and I brought that with me on my
two-week trip to Europe last year and
ever since then I haven't travelled
without it it's perfect it has the 360
degree wheels it has the locks and I
have a portable charger so it's really
nice I prefer to do carry on rather than
checked bags because one I don't like to
wait at the baggage claim once I land I
like to just go straight to my Airbnb or
hostel - I like having all my things
with me I don't like having to wonder
like if I'm going to me and my chick
dying or not and three is just much
easier to handle one small um like
carry-on bag rather than a big checked
bag especially if you're getting on and
off buses or through taxis or metros
it's just more convenient alright this
is my way suitcase like I said I got
this last year for my two-week trip to
Europe it's a hard shell but it's still
pretty flexible it has the 360-degree
wheels which is really nice going
through the airport with at the top we
have the combination lock to lock the
suitcase with the zippers and in the
back there is a portable charger area um
and you can actually take it out as well
I usually take it out right before I get
on the airplane to charge my phone while
I'm on the plane this is the inside of
my away suitcase here's the little
pocket that carries a laundry bag but I
prefer to use it to put my shoes in
aside from my underwear in swimsuits
these are all the clothes that I packed
to wear for the three weeks while I was
in Greece I reward a lot of these
clothing items though and some even
multiple times I packed two pairs of
track shorts black jeans black leggings
denim shorts overalls and gray leggings
I also brought ten shirts and pretty
neutral colors I packed three t-shirts
which I used as pajamas or loungewear
for hanging around the Airbnb 's and I
also packed one workout shirt or extra
loungewear shirt and finally I brought
two dresses in one jumpsuit I bought
this hoodie in Santorini because it was
really cold but this denim jacket was
the only Jackie I originally packed this
is the outfit I wore on the airplane a
white button-down grey leggings my
Santorini hoodie and a denim jacket I'm
not actually going to pack these so I'll
just set them to the side I prefer to
fold my shirts in thirds then roll them
up as tightly as possible I put my roll
to close on the side of the suitcase
that has the bars because the rolled
clothes packed nicely around them I know
that some people swear by packing cubes
and I used to use them all so then I
like to just put all my clothing in the
suitcase directly so it's not to waste
any space I found that when I use the
packing cubes there was still some
unused space left over
[Music]
once I have all my clothes rolled up
I'll start placing them in the suitcase
usually starting with the thickest
clothes first since they take up the
most room at this point it's like a game
of Tetris trying to find which clothing
items will fit best where I always leave
the thinnest or smallest clothing items
for last because they can easily be
squeezed into any leftover space if some
items like jeans can't fit well by
ruling I'll just leave them folded and
place them on top I brought one pair of
white sneakers that could be dressed up
or down and one pair of sandals these I
got in Greece because the ones I
originally packed broke while I was
there I wore these on the airplane
though so I'm going to set them to the
side I'm using the laundry bag to put my
shoes in so that they don't get the rest
of my items dirty now we're moving on to
toiletries and electronics this is all
my makeup for the trip it's just the
basics foundation mascara eyeliner blush
bronzer etc I also packed a microfiber
towel this is my toiletries case I have
my conditioner shampoo sunscreen face
wash body wash anti-itch cream in case I
get bit lotion toothpaste toothbrush
razor face mask like makeup remember
cream and some flossers this is where I
keep all my medicine like pepto-bismol
ibuprofen vitamins and a couple extra
toiletries
I also packed mosquito repellant dry
shampoo and hairspray this is my
electronics bag I keep all my cords
adapters my hard drive and other
electronic stuff in here my macbook
charger doesn't fit super well in the
electronics bag so I just kind of try to
fit it anywhere that I can find space
for it I also just try to fit my brush
anywhere there's extra space this is my
bag for jewelry and this is my bag for
bobby pins hair ties headbands etc I
left this space up here open so I can
put my bras and swimsuits so into this
little space I'll put my bras in first
and then I'll start taking my swimsuits
and folding them and just stuffing them
in the cups of the bra
you
[Music]
as for my underwear and socks I'll just
place them anywhere on this side of the
suitcase that I can find space for them
[Music]
I've also packed a canvas bag to use
during the day as a purse because it can
fit well in the suitcase and I had to
shield my face from the Sun this is the
personal bag that I'll be using to put
under the sea in front of me on the
airplane I have my laptop and I'll put
it in the back in the laptop sleeve a
file for important papers
[Music]
my camera case my portable pillow or my
travel pillow
I also have my journal my Kindle for
reading I'm a sarong to keep warm and
some snacks and then finally I have my
reusable water bottle I have my iPhone
charger
some headphones or earbuds some wipes
and some tissues chopstick medicine and
hand sanitizer my keys for my apartment
and I mask and my sunglasses a pen for
filling out forms my phone my wallet and
my passport case with my passport all
right so everything impacted from a
three-week trip to Greece I just felt
like the days ago and as I mentioned I
wore a lot of clothes again and again
and I even got one few detergent to do
my own laundry in the sink out my hair
being bees but I have realized that it's
possible to pack in a carry-on really
for any length trip hopefully this video
helped you and encouraged you to be able
to pack in and carry on the next time
you go on your trip
