I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Very cute and relax!! ❤

[@mkatkaat]

Thank you so much for such a kind comment! ❤️

[@pdub6453]

Excellent job! That is similar to my packing style. You have what you need.

[@mkatkaat]

Thanks for watching! I agree, less is more 😊

[@est-fm9ui]

I'm so jealous that you are able to pack so little...I can't seem to pack so efficiently. Even when only taking VERY few items, I'm just bad at playing tetris. Like...I don't overpack but I can't fit everything in an efficient way.

[@mkatkaat]

It definitely took me a while!! Thats why i like this bag too, it's easier to play tetris than normal backpacks in my opinion 🙂

[@lkm_6689]

​@@mkatkaat totally agree!! I think because kanken's are square, it's easier to efficiently organise the inside

[@mkatkaat]

@@lkm_6689 yes i completely agree!

[@user-xo4gt1qj1w]

Thanks for sharing! Where were you staying? I normally do not pack PJs, just wear my street clothes and before I go to bed just take them off. If I sleep in a hostel, I just sleep in an oversized shirt and put my leggings on before I get out of bed. Also wash stuff in the sink. What you are taking with you is what I take for a 2-week trip, also in winter. Great video! :)

[@mkatkaat]

Thanks so much for such a sweet comment! i stayed in a hotel! To me pjs are definitely a comfort thing and I have left them out before when I'm tight on space but I'd much prefer to have them :)

[@Merryyy203]

@@mkatkaat Of course! The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in your trip. Again, thanks for sharing your video :)

[@mkatkaat]

@@Merryyy203 thank you for watching, you are so kind :)

[@junasangsi6281]

I really liked your video. Thanks for your insight. However I was wondering if a packing cube is necessary? It seems as if it doesn't make a difference in the backpack.

[@mkatkaat]

Thanks so much for watching! I totally get what you mean, but the inside of my bag is probably filthy 😅 so it's a way to keep my clothes clean

[@liviajercan752]

I'm thinking that a small stash of medicine would be useful (headache, cold, stomach or digestive problems, UTI, ointment for scrapes, bandaids, just in case pads/tampons). Also, mini mouthwash, tweezers, cotton buds, hat, umbrella. You did not show the full chargers for phone and ipad, just the small cable for the external battery. Those always annoy me with how heavy they are :)

[@mkatkaat]

You're absolutely correct! I forgot my medicine pouch this time 😅 i love the idea of mini mouthwash too. Yeah I agree chargers are normally so heavy its annoying :) thank you for watching

[@user-ym4lj8ms3n]

I usually put a t-shirt around my book, just to keep it extra safe/prevent pages being turnt etc. etc. Does the iPad have a protective case in the backpack?

[@mkatkaat]

Thats so smart, I'll have to try that! Yes my ipad has a case on with a cover :) thanks for watching!

[@ellielovesbands]

Is the hip bag waterproof? I'm debating whether I should buy it or not, cuz I need a new hip bag.

[@mkatkaat]

The website says it is! www.fjallraven.com/eu/en-gb/bags-gear/backpacks-bags/travel-bags/high-coast-hip-pack I have spilled water on it before and everything was fine. Hope that helps!

[@elizabethmorris197]

Hey there, great video. Really streamlined. How many days were you away for?

[@mkatkaat]

Thanks so much Elizabeth! The trip was 3 nights ☺️

[@carableu]

So liberating! How many days was the trip?

[@mkatkaat]

Thanks for watching! It was 4 days 3 nights :)

[@carableu]

Thank you!@@mkatkaat

[@truepeacenik]

That much skin care and no toothbrush, paste, shampoo?

[@mkatkaat]

Thanks for watching! I did note in the video my partner carried the toothbrushes and toothpaste. I didn't bring shampoo as the hotel I stayed at provided it. Hope that helps!
