Hey Nadine can I please know where did you bought that bag?

[@tamikabarrett5946]

Is it weird I have an obsession with travelling videos... Not just where they go but mostly when they pack... i LOVE IT

[@TheYesSquad]

Same.. I just love organizing skills

Wow, that's a lot of stuff you're packing. Personally I would leave some of the items behind or bring different things: -Instead of bringing 3 bags + a clutch I usually pack a small crossbody bag (should be practical enough for everyday wear but still cute enough for going out) and a tote bag for bigger items. - The only utensil I would bring is a plastic spoon. You can always use the swiss army knife (or your teeth ;-)) instead of the knife and your fingers or a tooth pick instead of a fork. -The uncuttable cord for securing your backpack is kind of useless because thieves can just cut open your backpack to get to your stuff. -Concentrated travel detergent is more space efficient than normal powder. -Those wedges take up a lot of space and are probably heavy; low-heeled pumps might be a better choice. I also recommend changing them out for booties (comfortable!! ones, think low block heel) for the colder countries in Europe as you can wear them during the day and for going out. - Bring only one pair of sunglasses and one adapter. You can always buy more at your destination if needed - Hair straightener and blow driers aren't really necessary. Try finding ways to style your hair without them before leaving for your trip This isn't meant as criticism btw. Just some advice for other viewers who get back pain easily :)

[@echa9446]

yeah i agree....the short pants prob only bring 1-2. and the tops prob only 5 in total (including the beach tops, romper and pajamas and tshirts).

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

Yeah I also think it probably defeated the purpose of the video to mix up what to pack for Europe vs. South Asia all in one go. It kinda just showed a hole bunch of stuff what you might want to pack but did not give an idea of how much you can actually bring with you with just one backpack. If I wanted to just see what I want to bring I look at my entire closet lol the cutting down to the minimum is where it gets more tricky! As someone who hasn´t travelle only with carry-on for a long period of time and overstepping seasons, I like to start packing 2 weaks ahead. This way I had the chance to add some stuff that I remembered I would need and just put it on top of my bag to just double check a last time 2 days or so before I leave and again cluster out what has to go for my new picked items to fit in :)

[@susie9893]

Yeah I probably would only do 1pr short shorts Europe or SE Asia - in my experience it's mostly best to keep those knees covered, a lot of cultures find knees offensive 😉 (not culturally appropriate to show them), better to do a knee length skirt or 2 and a pr cargo pants. But yeah too much stuff - clothes, travel documents (seriously we have cloud+email backups to document apps on phone these days-leave the hard copies with family/friends if you REALLY need that),hairdryer etc???,makeup, SHOES et al

[@roselynnlyness4263]

I’m to tired to read all that

[@tashyb635]

Before I watch the full vid...those who buy Osprey packs, REMEMBER TO REGISTER THEM! You can get them fixed/replaced if they break as long as you're using it for what you've told them (when you register you tick activity boxes that apply to what you will use your bag for, for example hiking, travel etc). :)

[@SeeKaysee]

I have this weird obsession with packing videos. I looooove watching them! Lately I've become obsessed with trying to make sure I only pack a carry on so I don't have to go through that extra step of waiting at the conveyer belt/airline losing my luggage.

[@jezlockhart1708]

OMG ME

[@kwilli10]

I’m on that too! I made the rookie mistake of buying a backpack that has a rigid back that doesn’t collapse to fit in carry on. So now I have to decide - get rid of this amazing backpack in favour of a smaller one (YIKES), or continue to check it

[@Askdjdjajtjack]

level up: try packing for european budget airlines which allow 40x30x20cm bags otherwise you have to pay (costs can probably double the price of the flight if you take more than 2 checked bags)

[@alevel79]

@@Askdjdjajtjack 😖

[@puntco]

just personal preferences, but I think this is more of a luxury packing video. I'm going to backpack through Europe this summer and I would pack a lot lighter than you do now.

[@EarlsFamilyVlogs]

I'm super impressed you got that many shoes to fit in there!

[@sarah_henley]

Hi Nadine! My name is Sarah and I am an American KZbinr living in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I am a new subscriber also and I have been enjoying your videos so far! I absolutely LOVE packing! Even if it's just for a short trip, it is so fun for me! Usually I'll start a packing list a few weeks or even a few months in advance if it's a really big trip hahaha!

[@NatalieElizabeth95]

This makes me so excited for my 3 month trip to Germany at the end of the year, especially because I booked my tickets this morning! Thanks for posting this, it will definitely be helpful when I start packing :D

[@brittneyedwards52]

I found this video super helpful! I watched so many reviews of minimalist packing and bought a Farpoint 40. When it came in the mail I was like OMG! What about my wedge heels for clubs, makeup, purse options? Everyone can't go that light, especially when going to multiple places with diverse interest and wanting to look put together at times. I don't want Instagram pics wearing the same oufit at every monument over the course of a year, not my style. This is the only video where I could see everything I would pack for every occasion get in there. Everyone can't backpack the same, so to everyone saying this is too much stuff whatever, it's a great start. Thanks so much, going to get the Osprey 70 for my 1 year around the world adventure.

[@lindee8224]

There's no reason for me to watch this, yet I am, and I'm enjoying it.

[@bubblygabbigirl]

A "full body length romper" is a jumpsuit.

[@danielalondongirl933]

Hey Nadine I love all your videos! I stick to white /light colours as much as poss when backpacking n SE Asia because of MOSQUITOES!! They are less attracted to light colours! If youve had a mosquito related illness you have to take all the precautions. its a pain washing and wearing thin long sleeves but rather be safe than sorry. Depends whether its wet/dry season and where exactly you are but Ive watched mosquitoes racing for those dark/bright colours!

[@teagantaylorofficial4308]

I know people will say you do video repeats but theyre wrong, each video is detailed in different ways, ive watched three packing videos and im still learning, thankyou so much, hope to bump into you on your travels! Teagan x

[@janessanm]

So helpful! I get so anxious thinking about trying to fit all my stuff into a bag smaller than my 60L, so I appreciate that your list is more realistic!

[@tltravel]

UGH! My backpack definitely needs a protective flap like that to cover all the strings and buckles. Drives me crazy! Great video!

[@hannahprescott8283]

this video changed my life, I'm going to Europe for 3- 6 months and felt so lost on how to pack. thanks so much!

[@treefloraken8263]

I love that you have that cable to secure a bag somewhere. That is super smart! I would offer a suggestion. Soap nuts instead of laundry powder. They are safe for sensitive skin, and unlike liquid or powder, cannot be “spilled”. They last a really long time, have a nice, mild scent, and are super easy to use. Also, when they’re no good any more, they are natural compostable, and can just be tossed in a garden or in with any compostable material, and are not harmful to animals. Or just throw them away. I use them for all my laundry and I love them!

[@zom_brit2581]

OH MY GOD I am so happy you uploaded this !!! I am going to Southeast Asia in a year for two and a half months and I kept rewatching you other packing videos like the toiletry one . thank you !!!

[@lindsay_co_]

Thank you so much for this video. it helped me a lot. I'm leaving in 4 days for a 3-week trip in Asia and the tips you gave here are really, really helpful. I'm really organized and I was still going to forget important things. The tips about the actual act of packing are also life-changing lol

[@azatorres5078]

I feel like instead of generalizing SE Asia + Europe, I would've said adventurous vs. relaxation/luxury trips... Europe has many rural areas that many people travel to, and SE Asia has city life too!

[@taemiracle16]

im backpacking in europe for 2 months starting next sunday I AM SO EXCITED seeing ur videos really helped me a lot thanks :)

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

I love that backpack! great video! How much does your bag weigh in the end?

[@AuthorPSWhytock]

I’m going to Italy for the first time in June-Milan, Verona, Venice, Bergamo and I think I’m going to stick mostly to dresses and rompers.

[@KIMBERLEYsaysOK]

I'm confused. Why do you generalise Europe and South East Asia? There are cities in both places and there are more beach or off the beaten track areas in both places. Travellers pack for the type of holiday they are going on (subject to the weather) not just the country/continent they are going to.

[@interestingusername2633]

Carter Europe is fancy though, so is a lot of Asia.

[@moontiggsland]

As someone who lives in Bangkok I think she'll only be around backpackers considering her hippy bag, flip flop/sandals and clothes she picked

[@oscarlahtinen-kalsi5825]

@Carter I agree it is not nice that she is saying that Europe is more luxurious and Asia is rougher eventhough I live in Europe

[@OneCityAtATime]

I've done a fair bit of traveling and never thought of stuffing a pillowcase with clothes. I always fold my jumper up only to wake up 30 minutes later to find it completely unraveled with drool marks. Thanks for the tip 😉👍🏻

[@TheMissSve]

Wow, I am randomly watching packing videos and this is so. much. stuff. I usually pack like 1/6 of what you pack. But props to you if you are comfortable traveling with such a big bag.

[@crisyorke1328]

I am just going to bring one carry on backpack for my trip to Europe for 17 days as I don't want to carry too many stuff with me as I am constantly on a move traveling to 7 different countries for the duration of 17 day. I'll be sleeping at the airport to save money.

I loved this video, but I'd like to make one correction: it probably is smart to bring some "temple pants" or cover-uppy clothing if youre planning on visiting lots of churches or cathedrals. Most churches arent super strict, but it will happen that you walk into a beautiful church and you are picked to the side and asked to cover up or leave, at least in my experience.

[@Shannon95196]

It´s so easy to blend in with clothing in the modern parts of Europe, a normal t-shirt and any pair of shorts are what most wear in the summer. Focus on minimizing your packing and less about how you look

[@sarabea4817]

I mean I'm from Europe, I know how people dress. I'm just saying I think it's a lot easier to pack minimally in Asia/Central America backpacking trips cos you are roughing it more

please make a video on how to keep your skin clear during long flights? cause everytime i go on an airplane (especially ones that are like 15 hours long), my skin breaks out a lot... and i wanna wear makeup to cover it but i feel like it might just make my skin worse ??

[@daniellengarcia]

The air on flights can be extremely drying to the skin, moisturizing is great, as is getting rest and drinking lots of water.

[@GirlInYourShadow]

Danielle Garcia thank you, I'll remember that for next time I'm travelling :)

[@revuesdeminuit4071]

Maybelle L I highly recommend the Glamglow thirsty mud mask. It's steep in price ($70), but it does wonders for maintaining the skin. It was created for air travel (you wear it on the plane). You could also use it as a moisturiser, which helps justify the price.

I travel 15 to 19 hours sometimes 26 hours total in planes; Try 100% pure cosmetics ; Drink lots of dandelion or turmeric with ginger tea plus lots of water; no alcohol please while inside the plane; i bring fresh herbs and small fruits and nuts (homegrown or organic) with me to munch on and I spray rosewater/hydrating tonic on my skin every 2-4 hrs during flight; I pack very light 5 to 7 kilos or 10-12 pounds only -carry on pack and I have a vest from ScottEvest that has so many hidden pockets but lightweight; I usually travel anywhere from 5-9 weeks..I have been traveling for 41 years all of Asia, the Baltics, Middle East and Europe; Latin America and the USA; Your skin is the biggest organ - do not put chemicals on it which are found in many commercialized products; Try 100%Pure products - and your skin will thank you and feel and look fantastic!

[@barry4848]

Way too much stuff. I started travelling in 1985. 100 plus countries, always go carry on only. Current bag is a 25L, weight of everything I carry is 7kg. Merino wool. 4 shirts, 5 underwear, 4 socks, fleece jacket, hat, sunglasses. 1 pair of long pants, short pants, gym shorts, cell phone, battery, toiletries. I also have an osprey day bag, that weighs a few oz, that I use on location, or for overflow. One pair of gym shoes, flip flops. That's all you need! (Currently in Helsinki, heading to Estonia.) Traveling light is the way to go.
