Travel Europe with a Carry-On: Minimalist Packing Secrets Revealed!

[@rosella1919]

I lost a wheel from my bag, on cobblestones, in the Czech Republic. I had to buy a new bag in Prague, which I hadn’t planned for in my budget. Now I travel light.

[@kathrynnann__]

From the UK and trust me, we wear athleasure wear every day and out and about. I've seen it elsewhere in Europe too

[@elysmattar]

Liked your video, you are on the spot with the capsule wardrobe is the only way to travel, I have traveled to many countries and it works and the laundry situation is the same, you take your plastic travel hangers which take minimum space, do your laundry on those days that you know you are going to stay over for more than one night and you will always have clean laundry. I washed my underwear daily in the evening when I took my shower and in the morning it was dried, so 5 pairs is more than enough and two pairs of socks the same. However, not everyone can use a backpack, those that are elder or have problems with their back would not be able to handle the weight of a backpack, so a personal bag which is soft and pliable with a sleeve that would allow you to slide it through the handle of your carryon, is going to be the best option. Toiletries, medication, jewelry and electronics need to be carried on your personal item bag and if you do this, no one would have a problem with missing items. Good travels!❤❤❤

Hi! Welcome to our little corner of the world. I'm so glad you're here. And you're spoton with the tips. Thank you for sharing them.

[@DianeHanna-e5j]

You are spot on with the small size of buildings and trying to get the luggage up and downstairs or even the tiny elevators.

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi! The elevators are tiny, aren't they!

[@dianafrances6880]

Love your capsule wardrobe!

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@stevebartley628]

A 2 1/2 gallon Ziplock bag is good to do laundry in. A hair dryer is good to do a final drying of clothes

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi Steve! I'm so glad you have you here. Both of these are great ideas!

[@bronwynquinn4477]

Thank you ! For your fabulous information 🌹💙🦋

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@lindad9068]

I would love to see a video about the electronics and other things you carried. That and my toiletries take up so much space

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Stay tuned! The sequel is coming soon.

[@ingridlarocque2938]

Hi! Headed to Poland with Rick Steves next year and they require carry on and personal item ONLY. Looking forward to the information you provide!

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi Ingrid! Welcome to the channel. I'm so glad you're here! Poland will be wonderful!

[@marylouschubert2974]

Great video ! Very helpful , and terrific information❣️👍🏻

[@ritamartin1119]

I’m heading to Europe this fall - 4 weeks 4 days in a carry on!! Wish me luck!

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

You've got this! We'll be here to celebrate when you do it!

[@tinajensen8081]

oh god, I live in Denmark, the last time I traveled for 4 weeks island hopping in Greece, I brought less. A backpack of 3.4 kg. this was more than enough.

[@marjan6008]

I do the same! My backpack hardly reach the 4kg.

[@kaiulanisallas9005]

That last tip you gave about not going on Amazon was genius!

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Thank you for the kind words! Ask me how I know not to do that... 🤣

[@DonnitaParker]

Great choices to mix and match! The laundry sheets are game changers for travel. I just found a travel clothesline for our next trip as we are going for 3 weeks with carry on only.

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi Donnita. Welcome to my little corner of the world. I'm so glad you're here. The travel clothesline is a great idea. We used the hotel hangers and towel bars to dry our clothes.

[@barbaraholmes7703]

Excellent video.. lots of good information

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😍

[@elizabethhill7695]

Great ideas , but I would have liked to see you demonstrate the items by wearing the pieces at the end like a style show.

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi Elizabeth. It's so nice to e-meet you! This is a great idea. Be looking for a sequel with the outfits coming soon.

Hi Lucinda. Happy to help!

[@deekang6244]

I travel to Asia with a backpack and a carry on. For five to six weeks. Last time, the temperature range was 85 degrees F, down to 30 degrees. I did end up buying a pair of lined jeans but otherwise, I was fine.

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Well done!

[@debicampbell4846]

Would you mind doublechecking the link to the crossbody purse? This one is not working. Do you have the links to the other items like the trench coat? It possibly has been discontinued but could you link something similar to it? I really love it!! Also, I am going to Italy next April and would love a video of your travels there and what to wear in the spring. This wardrobe looks like it might work for the spring. I loved your video and just subscribed. It would be nice to see the outfits on you. ❤

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi Debi! Welcome to my little corner of the world. I'm glad you're here and let me know the link isn't working. I corrected the link in the video description and added the trench coat link as well. Be looking for a sequel with the outfits coming soon. My husband and I went to Italy last April (2024); it was the perfect time to go! Check out the Villa Bordoni Hotel Review. Spoiler Alert: It is fabulous! If you need any help with your trip, just let me know. I own Canopy of Stars Travel and specialize in trips to Europe.

Hi and welcome to my little corner of the world. Thank you for letting me know you would like the links. As you can probably guess, I'm new to KZbin, so your feedback is greatly appreciated. I've added the links! Have a great trip!

[@jacquibowden9143]

Australian airlines have size (dimensions) as well as weight restrictions. Hefty charges should you exceed weight limit. If bag too big- not coming as carry on. It will be checked and you will pay $$$$ for the “crime”. Triple check your bags and airline requirements. Happy travels.

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hey Jacqui. That's good advice!

[@itssquirreltime4472]

Excellent video! I like the visual of the clothes on the rack and you speaking about every item and the reason for your choices. VIDEO REQUEST: Can you please do one with what you pack inside of your travel handbag? And also a video on Toiletries only? I have a backpack of toiletries, and i even used travel sizes and decanted shampoo and conditioner. Thank you!!!

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. There's a sequel video with toiletries and other items coming soon! Stay tuned.

With the loafers-What do you wear as socks?

I picked up some really thin, low cut socks from Walmart.

Hi Phyllis. It's a Vionic. I LOVE them!!

[@marjan6008]

I used to pack for a 1 week Summer vacation a 50 liter suitcase. And not using half of my clothes. Now I bring a 28 liter backpack and a small crossbody bag that fits a kindle, passport and a waterbottle. And I pack 4 outfits that I can mitch and match, flip flops and sandels. I don't mind washing a couple of outfits during my vacation. My backpack only weighs 4kg and no check ins.

[@Jane-he4xx]

Excellent..thanks! Can I ask you about shoes? I assume you brought 'nice' shoes for going out as neither of the shoes you showed would have suited your dress.... even if you did get a chance to wear it😂?

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hey Jane. Truly, I only had the two pairs of shoes I showed in the video, loafers and tennis shoes! However, Vionic makes some other options that are a little more dressy.

[@Jane-he4xx]

@CanopyOfStarsTravel Many thanks for reply! Shoes, when travelling are the bane of my life! For example, I'm heading away soon for a long weekend which will involve city walking, eating out and a show in a theatre! I would LOVE if I had one pair of shoes that would cover all... but I usually end up having to bring a second pair!

[@riekerfit]

Do you pack flat or roll?? Thanks

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Flat. I'm all about efficiency and find that its faster for me.

[@shannahminer1567]

But how do you get your carryon under 8kg as set by the airlines?

[@CanopyOfStarsTravel]

Hi Shannah. Be intentional. When I traveled, I really didn't have any issues. However, if you're concerned, you could look for ultra light-weight luggage.

So how many pieces total in suitcase? 2 pairs of shoes?
