I love this so much I miss traveling so much miss the sounds a zipping luggage

[@KRodCollective]

haha I know exactly what you mean!! It's like music to the ears! Thank you for watching! 💕

@@KRodCollective no thankyou my friend

[@dennissems]

This is great. Thank you. Your hair 😍😍😍😍😍 I was looking at your hair more than what you were packing LOL

[@KRodCollective]

☺😊☺😊Thank you, Dee! haha That's so sweet!

[@dennissems]

@@KRodCollective 😘😘 I’m not lying. I kept thinking what on your curly hair routine LOL 😍

[@KRodCollective]

Hahaha I’ve been thinking about doing one, so maybe I’ll do that. Haha 💕

[@jessielowery2370]

I love that you explained the different methods and gave examples! Great job

[@KRodCollective]

Thank you Jessie! The kitty in your profile picture looks adorable! 😻

Just found your channel and love it! I am also team carry on. I roll my clothes with whole outfits. So I’ll roll a dress with my undies, bra and light jacket that I plan to wear together. I’m just now getting into packing cubes. I like to pack them by clothing item but still working out if I like it more than the rolling method.

[@KRodCollective]

Hi Nicole!! Rolling whole outfits...🤯Love that! Yes, I totally get that, every now and then I'll do another method but I'm so used to my packing cubes that it's hard for me to pack any other way. 😂Thank you for watching! More videos coming soon! 💕

[@Gabrielarmm]

You didn’t forget about the souvenirs, so great! I plan room for some and take a nylon foldable bag in the suitcase. Also, I only get what I really love, sometimes we don’t need that much stuff 😂

[@KRodCollective]

Yes!! Absolutely!! I've gotten so many things that haven't seen the light of day in years. 🤦🏾‍♀️😂

[@stephanier9820]

Found your videos yesterday, very fun to watch.

[@KRodCollective]

Thank you, Stephanie! 😊

[@YentlLega]

Love it! Thank you for mentioning minimizing tech! Since my hubby and I have been traveling carry on only we ditched the bulky camera gear and use our phones instead. As you mentioned, thankfully, the cameras on our phones are fantastic and keep getting better;)

[@KRodCollective]

Thank you Yentl! It was really tough for me to cut down to just my phone because I love my big camera, but like you said the camera phones just keep getting better and it's just soooo much easier! haha

[@YentlLega]

@@KRodCollective You're right! It definitely wasn't an easy decision at first, but after trying it, it truly felt so much better :)

[@KRodCollective]

@@YentlLega I totally agree!!

[@estapeake8104]

If you roll your clothes put them in your case the other way. (Top to bottom). This uses the space between the handles.

[@KRodCollective]

Yes, absolutely! Thanks, Esta! Saving even more space! 💕

[@cynthianad]

Definitely gonna applied it for my trip. Thank you

[@KRodCollective]

Woo hoo!! 💕

[@katfran492]

Good tips! As a 6ft tall, plus size woman, I experimented with multiple techniques to accommodate my pants & shoe size. Pants are the worst because I can’t roll them without taking up all of the room in my suitcase. I fold them in half lengthwise and then place them inside the suitcase but with the legs coming outside. I rotate each pair so that all four sides have either the pant legs or the skirt out. Place the rolled items or even packing cubes inside the suitcase and then fold the pant legs over the top. I’ve even rolled the pant legs so that it covers the 4 sides (top) of the suitcase. It seems crazy but it does work really really well.

[@KRodCollective]

These are awesome tips Kat! Thank you so much for sharing them! 💕

[@audleyunusual7623]

Not crazy at all; this is called bundle wrapping and it’s very effective, but you don’t hear about it much anymore (I guess because of the popularity of packing cubes.)

[@KRodCollective]

@@audleyunusual7623 Oh I bet! I can't wait to look into this more, I think it's so unique! I love that. 💕

[@wendysimpson134]

You’re adorable! I love carry on--but it’s a challenge! I’m a work in progress to convert from check in to carry on……but practice makes perfect 🙌🏻

[@KRodCollective]

hahaha Thanks Wendy!! Yes, it is definitely a challenge, especially in the beginning. Yes! Practice makes perfect and you'll get there!

[@stephanier9820]

I'm flying for first time in October and have previously been a compulsive over packer. I have a small backpack I bought on Amazon for a personal item. Should work great, I practiced packing for a week long trip for next March and I think I can swing it!

[@KRodCollective]

YAY!! I love that you've been practicing packing. Practice is how we get better! Good luck on you trip! I hope it's awesome, Stephanie! 💕

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

I've been using the rolling method ever since I knew it. It's a real hack! Just like the Carry on bag that I am using The Bento Bag from Nomad Lane, it has cool features that makes my travel easier and organized

[@KRodCollective]

Yes! Love it! The rolling method is so great, isn’t it? Oh I’ve never heard of that bag. I’m gonna look it up. Thank you for watching, Francine! 💕

[@LWLillie1]

Love this! If possible, I would LOVE for you to do a video for longer trips. I'm going to Italy for 6 wks and I'm pulling my hairs trying to go light, just carry on. I have weighted everything so far. I mean EVERY lil thing! As for toiletries, I'm taking mostly solids, few liquids. What to take? what not and buy there? argh! Help!! And thank you so so so much your tips!!

[@KRodCollective]

Wow girl! You are killing it. 6 weeks with just a carry on. That’s commendable!! That’s so fun! What part of Italy are you going to? That’s a great idea, I can def do that. Longer trip can be a bit more difficult to pack for, especially if you’re doing carry on only. With toiletries, I would definitely encourage bringing what you know you CANNOT get there. Good luck girl! Keep us posted! ❤️

[@LWLillie1]

@@KRodCollective Yes!! It's going to be a challenge! Planning to go to Rome, Genova, Civita di Bagnoregio, Capri (AnaCapri) Amalfi Coast (Positano, Ravello, Scala) Matera. Looking forward for your long trip packing video! OXOX

[@KRodCollective]

Loooooovvvvveeee!!! It’s going to be amazing!

@Lillie Done! You may already be on your trip! I'm sorry it took me so long to get it up. 😩Some tips cross over, but I hope it helps even just a little! I also gave you a shout out, hope you don't mind! Have fun on your trip! 💕

[@adellealfred4180]

Can you do a video about European currency and where to exchange

[@KRodCollective]

That is such a great idea! Yes, I can do that! 💕

[@Danielle41483]

Random question but do you have recommendations for where to buy jumpsuits?

[@KRodCollective]

Hey Danielle! Yes! So, I don't know if you're into thrifted and gently used items. But I like to check out my local Goodwills and buy, sell, trade stores. Here are also a few other places I like to look for jumpsuits. These all vary in price. Mango, Zara, Free People, Aritzia, & Other Stories, Lulu's, ASOS, and Etsy. Keep an eye out for sales!! Hope this helps! 💕

[@nellyzvibez]

Hello Krod I enjoyed your videos they were very helpful. I actually emailed you a little while ago but you never replied

[@KRodCollective]

Hi Shakira!! Thank you for your sweet email! ❤️I just responded! I’m so sorry for my late response. February took the best out of me. 😭😭Safe travels! 💕

[@garyrobinson8665]

I don't take any toiletries. I will buy them at my destination. My hotel always has shampoo and soap.

[@KRodCollective]

Yesss!! This works for a lot of people! Love that! ❤️

[@leapintothewild]

Great summary, love your presentation, but all the cut-edits make it really hard to watch! It’s not a crime for the video to be a minute longer so your talking flows like a normal conversation with a little breathing room between the words - and makes it MUCH easier to watch.

[@KRodCollective]

Thank you for your feedback Marijka! I totally agree with you, there are far too many cuts and it does make it distracting and difficult to watch. I am trying to be more mindful of that for future videos. And also know that even if I mess up my worlds, it’s okay! 😂😊Thanks again!
