Minimalist pack with me: 12 days + a wedding (Carry-on only)

[@TracyKMainwaring]

Instead of the caribener on the zipper, I use an old diaper pin. It has a metal cap that has to be slid up before the pun opens. It never gets accidentally opened, and most people have no idea how to open it LOL.

[@MaggiFuchs]

I love the idea with the diaper pin. 🤗 Thank you for sharing. :)

Travel pouch doubling as a clutch?!!! Genius 🤯

[@arlenecollins7279]

These videos are very helpful for me. And gives me some good ideas for packing better. Thanks!😊

[@pocoheywood4007]

Great video! The other word for your Strumpfhose would be “tights” in the UK, and in the US I think they’re also called “pantyhose”

[@tangotangoh]

Wundebar! Great tips!!

[@lyndaennis8036]

Safe travels and thanks for sharing. Welcome to the USA🇺🇸🌷🎂😀

[@Ducayneau]

I wish you a safe and enjoyable journey. I wish the couple a happy wedding!

[@caroleweston7563]

Stockings have two separate legs but if it is all in one piece it's tights in the UK or in the US, pantyhose.

[@janemaber5420]

I love to see your minimalist packing style. Safe travels and I hope you enjoyed the wedding. You'll have to tell us what you thought of a US wedding. How different was it from the weddings in Austria?

[@MaggiFuchs]

I had a great time in the US, thank you. Well, I think weddings are completely different than in Austria. Here, they usually start at 1 pm with the ceremony, and then everyone goes to get some drinks and later there‘s dinner and at some point they cut the cake and a midnight meal and then the party goes on until the next morning. In the US, it seems much more scheduled, and it started at 5 pm and was over at 11 pm, with wedding planners with their clipboards making sure everything happens in time and everyone is out of the location at 11 pm (which is a good time for me to go home anyways… 😂). I really enjoyed it, but Austrian weddings are less structured and progress more „naturally“ and are more relaxed I guess… 😅

Packing for a 12-day trip and a wedding with just a carry-on can definitely be a challenge, but I enjoyed watching your tips and organization ideas. We hope you had a wonderful trip and congratulations on successfully packing everything you need. Safe travels!

[@sueskiing]

Great video, did you take your husband with you? You might look at getting a SURI sonic toothbrush, lightweight, only needs charging every 40 days and the heads are environmentally friendly too. I have one and love it but you may only in the UK!

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thanks for the tip. I have never heard of SURI, but I will check it out. :)

[@lynneeie5226]

😂Stockings, yes! And I think I have a pair...still in the package! Not great for farms 😂The dress is ideal! Pretty and non-wrinkly, and I hope you have or had a lovely trip!

[@MaggiFuchs]

I took them off during the wedding and now they are back in the package waiting for the next time I need them … in 10 years or so… 😂 I had a lovely trip, thank you. Back since a few days. :) I was an Aupair 20 years ago and my host-son got married, so it was great to catch up with all the lovely people there again.

[@1jackieworcs]

Your dress looks lovely - hope you had a fun trip 😊

[@lynneeie5226]

Very glad to hear it was a good trip! And very nice with catching up & visiting 🎉😊

[@cathyhaynes154]

Stockings yes or pantyhose - Beautiful dress and wish I had found one also for a wedding I will travel to next weekend. Enjoy your time !!

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thank you! I hope you also had a great time at the wedding. :)

Another great video and great tips

[@alijaviola]

4:38 Wieder ein interessantes Video von dir, vielen Dank dafür! Woher sind denn deine Hochzeits-Sandalen?

[@MaggiFuchs]

Die habe ich auf Etsy gekauft, handgemacht von irgendwen aus Griechenland (aber nicht superteuer). Ich weiß leider nicht mehr von wem, aber wenn du auf Etsy einfach nach Ledersandalen suchst kommen viele ähnliche Modelle. :)

[@alijaviola]

Safe travels and enjoy!

Another great packing video! You might like the Phillips One Rechargeable travel toothbrush. Its way lighter than the Sonicare! Travel friendly, I purchased 4 for our family's carryon-only Europe trip this summer. Highly recommend!

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thanks for the tip! I have been eyeing the Philips one toothbrushes, but I heard that they are not as strong as the Sonicare, so I did not end up buying one yet… Do you have a normal Sonicare? How different is it for you?

[@2009bubbaray]

@@MaggiFuchs Yes I have a normal Sonicare. The One is a bit more gentle, but it worked well (and didn't need a charge) for nearly a month-long trip.

[@2009bubbaray]

Also, the charger for the One is a USB-A cord that plugs into a normal USB-A charging block (I use the Apple one).

[@wanrapea]

Sounds like a great adventure! I hope the visit went well. I need to get more of the lightweight items you show. I hope you share some of your experiences with us. Also, was it your 1st trip to the USA? How did Everson do by himself? You do a great job! God bless!

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thank you, I had a great time and Everson is also doing great. It was not my first trip to the US, I was an AuPair there 20 years ago and I went back several times after that. :)

[@wanrapea]

@@MaggiFuchs I see. You have had the most wonderful life! Bet those children felt lucky to have you! You gave yourself wings to travel. I love your free spirit!

[@marcepecheful]

Hello Maggi! I hope you enjoyed the wedding! Quick question about the toothbrush, there are many different models. Which one do you recommend?

[@MaggiFuchs]

I have a Philips Sonicare, but its an old version. But it still works great for me, so I see no need to buy a new one. But now Philips Sonicare has an expensive version with a travel case that can charge with USB and also a cheaper one where the stand can charge with USB, so if I would have to buy a new one atm, I guess I would go for one of those two. There is also the Philips one now, but I haven’t tested it yet because I heard it’s much weaker.

[@marcepecheful]

@@MaggiFuchs thank you! Just yesterday we bought 2 of the 7300 with a discount at Media Market in upper Austria ;) So far we’re happy as you can monitor the brushing quality with an app though it doesn’t have a usb charger but it comes with a plastic case for travelling.

In England we call the stockings tights, unless they actually are stockings, with a suspender belt ☺

[@MaggiFuchs]

No, no belts.. so they were tights. 😂 Thank you! :)

[@lynneeie5226]

Ha! I liked it without even watching it yet... I just know it will be good! 😂😂 Ok... Watching now...

[@MaggiFuchs]

Oh no, I feel the pressure… 😂

[@lynneeie5226]

@@MaggiFuchs Never! 😊😊👍🏻

[@mollymccann5043]

Where in the US do you get to go, and what do you get to do besides attend the wedding?

[@MaggiFuchs]

I went to Kansas City. I was an AuPair there 20 years ago, and now my host-son got married. 😊 Never felt so old in my life… 😂 But it was great to see everyone again and spend a few days with all the lovely people I met during my time there. It has been a few years since I saw most of them. :)

[@mollymccann5043]

@@MaggiFuchs Oh that's so nice! I'm in St. Louis and have a trip planned through Kansas City in a few months. I'm glad you had a great time, and that dress is gorgeous!
