Traveling only with a personal item | Minimalist packing video: 4 days in a small backpack

[@MillaExplores]

Hey everybody! I've created a FREE packing guide + printable packing list for you all, get it here: subscribepage.io/millaexplores

[@lumpaskat]

This is the video i’m exactly looking for, i’ll be out for 4 days and i don’t know what to pack. Thank you for sharing tips!

[@MillaExplores]

Perfect, I'm glad to hear this was helpful! 🤩

[@suzanneanderson582]

I love that your accessories are all orange - it is my favorite color too - it is so happy. Thank you for your video - very helpful!

[@MillaExplores]

Haha I love orange! 🥰

[@ronyzmiri]

Milla, that's great! I also travel in recent years in low cost airlines. Usually for longer so add Priority for the bigger case just like your Osprey. Also use packing cube. It is amazing how little we really need when traveling! Thanks for a lovely video!

[@MillaExplores]

Thanks Rony, always nice to see you here in the comments! And yes, we really don't need that much but if I would go for a little bit longer time, I would probably upgrade to be able to take my Osprey backpack as well since it does give some more flexibility when packing :)

[@P--O]

Great and informative video! Take care. Regards from a new subscriber in Sweden

FANTASTIC, video very interesting

[@CariettaW]

I've been getting rid of most of my liquids too, and recommend a dry deodorant. I've found it works better than a spray/roll on.

[@MillaExplores]

Nice, changing liquid to solid cosmetics is so convenient and they seem to last longer too! 😊Which deodorant are you using? I've been trying a few but they don't work that great for me since I do sweat quite a lot from time to time. 😅

[@myflyingkidney]

i am trying to find a men's solid deodorant in a smaller size but can't seem to find anything good. i like the L'occitane Cedrat but the packaging is too big especially when you have so limited space like in this video... i feel like men's cosmetics is lacking in solids department. maybe Lush has something. anyway... any suggestions?

[@MillaExplores]

@@myflyingkidney I've heard good things about Schmidt's natural deodorants. They're unisex and I might try that next, but I don't know if the size is any different :)

[@myflyingkidney]

@@MillaExplores this looks interesting, bottles do look smaller as well. Thank you for the suggestion I will check it out :)

[@autumnrose_tv]

⁠@@myflyingkidneyI use a Dove men+care stick deodorant in the scent clean and fresh when I travel. If it’s a stick deodorant, it doesn’t count as a liquid

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

Wow! Packing with just a backpack is such a brave move especially if you're going to travel for too long! one thing that I learned and wanted to share with you is to look for a duffle bag that best fits your luggage and has all the wonderful features a bag can have especially in plane travel use. I'm using Nomad Lane's Bento Bag and it's a good choice.

[@MillaExplores]

Thanks! For a longer trip I would definitely take my Osprey Farpoint 40, but since we were only gone for 4 days I didn't need a bigger bag. The bento bag seems like a good choice as well, I just always prefer backpacks since they're so convenient to carry :)

[@olgag9901]

​@@MillaExploresher comment was basically an add. she puts it in every packing video. wouldn't take her "recommendation" seriously

[@essentialtravelitems]

Wow! This minimalist packing video is truly inspiring! Traveling for 4 days with just a personal item is impressive. Your versatile selection of essentials and practical approach are commendable. How did this minimalist packing experience impact your overall travel? Could you share your top tips for maximizing space and organization in a small backpack? Thanks for sharing your expertise and encouraging efficient travel!

[@MillaExplores]

Thanks! It was a challenge but certainly doable 😂 Packing light is just more convenient in my opinion and also helps me travel on a budget as some airlines only allow you to bring a personal item if you don't want to pay extra. My top tips would be to use packing cubes and ditching the "what if" clothes 😄 Packing this minimal for such a short trip is quite easy but try doing it for a longer trip because that's even a bigger challenge haha 😂

[@olgag9901]

this looks like a chatGPT type comment. doubt it's a real person

[@FinMeg]

Cant wait for your Poland vlogs ❤️

[@twoshadesofochre]

I’m impressed Ryan Air let you get away with another small bag - they’re uncompromising in the ridiculousness 😩

[@MillaExplores]

I've noticed people using small bumbags which Ryanair doesn't seem to care so much about 🙈 But usually I just hide the small purse inside my jacket just in case 😂

[@twoshadesofochre]

@@MillaExplores I have a trip to Scotland for 4 days later this year so I’ll going to give it a go too 😆 thanks for the tips!

[@mfe-p]

easyJet went down the queue asking people to put everything in bags, pillows, bottles newspapers etc that people were holding in their hands 😱

[@DD-d6d3]

I loved this! Please share ore packing videos!

[@SL-bw1vo]

Can't help but think that your camera and accessories take up a lot of valuable space

[@MillaExplores]

If a camera & the accessories to go with it isn't something that you value then for sure use that space for other things! For me personally, camera gear is essential on my travels for content creation. So "valuable space" is a subjective question - pack what's important to you. ☺️🙌🏼

[@MillaExplores]

If you want to know what I pack in my toiletries bag in more detail, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f32YmqFjpMh-jNU 🤗

[@miss_anna]

Hi , it's super hard always for me pack mybackpack. Because there are a lotofitemes but I need to choose) Iprefer to createa list initially haha

[@MillaExplores]

@@miss_anna haha I feel you! I ALWAYS make a packing list too! 😆

[@javierferrarotti]

I think I'll make my own backpack with the exact measures that are allowed by Ryanair. These Kanken backpacks are 5 cm thinner than permitted (15 cm. vs 20 cm.). I'll also dress in layers.

[@MillaExplores]

Yes for sure there are backpacks that are more ''efficient'' in terms of space. The Kånken backpack is rather small. I've used the Osprey Sportlite 25 liter backpack on Ryanair flights and that has worked without any issues as well, even though that backpack is a bit too big when packed full. 😊

[@ivettepagador7126]

Hi Milla, i think you are so organized but i did not see your shoes, or you are bringing only one pair with you?

[@MillaExplores]

Hi Ivette! Yes for this trip I only brought one pair of shoes 😊

[@FERDOSEVLOGS]

Nice share thanks for that. stay safe.

[@MillaExplores]

Thanks! ☺️

[@zTc01]

Hey did your Kanken fit on Ryanair frame? Thanks!

[@MillaExplores]

Yes it did 😊

[@karenvonbargen4472]

Oh, for 4 days my hubs and I could both pack in that bag. For longer and varied climates it wouldn’t even begin to fit all our crap

[@MillaExplores]

The Fjällräven Kånken is quite small and especially for winter time it does get a bit tight for me 😄

[@katyaberry05]

do you prefer this classic or the laptop 13 version for traveling? also do the straps hurt? tfs

[@MillaExplores]

I've only had the classic version so I'm not able to compare 😊 But I think the laptop kånken is a bit more spacious and has a little bit better organizations + more comfortable straps so that would be a good option too! I like the classic for just carrying small amount of stuff since the straps can get a big uncomfortable if you carry a lot of heavy stuff but it's still doable 😊

[@katyaberry05]

thanks for the reply, I exchanged the classic i just bought to a laptop 13 version, and now im happy🥰

[@BagznBirdz]

Kånkeniin myydään irrallisia juomapullotaskuja, mihin menee paksumpikin pullo. Kiinnittyy sivutaskuun tukimekanismilla. :)

[@MillaExplores]

Moi, kiitos vinkistä! Oon kyllä nähnyt tuon irrallisen juomapullotaskun mutta en ole vielä nähnyt tarvetta hankkia sitä. Yleensä saan juomapullon hyvin mahtumaan repun sisään, kun harvoin tulee reissattua pelkällä repulla... Ehkä se voisi kuitenkin olla hyvä olemassa näitä tilanteita varten :)

[@BagznBirdz]

@@MillaExplores ostin äidille tuollaisen taskun, ja hän pitää siinä vesipullon lisäksi milloin mitäkin - usein niitä juttuja joihin pitää päästä helposti ja nopeasti käsiksi kuten hanskoja, sateenvarjoa tai -takkia, aurinkolaseja jne. Sinänsä näppärä viritys, että se ei vie repusta sisätilaa, toisin kuin nuo repun omat taskut, jos niihin laittaa esim. ison juomapullon.☺️

[@nadriguez]

Where did you get your hard case for your cables? Thanks for the video. I’ve been considering buying this bag for this exact reason.

[@MillaExplores]

Hi! It's from a department store here in Finland, but I believe Amazon sells similar hard cases. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I really like the Kånken backpack, I take it with me on almost every trip nowadays. ☺

[@jackeddemon]

Not bad

[@marcosgarces7962]

is it allow to carry the camera on the neck?

[@MillaExplores]

Yes, I had no problem doing that when flying with Ryanair and I've done it plenty of times :)

[@marcosgarces7962]

@@MillaExplores ok perfect I'll do it next time

[@MillaExplores]

@@marcosgarces7962 Great!

[@Headhunterzify]

I'm looking for videos with Orange Series and glad I found yours 'coz I also got some ideas that'll be beneficial for my travels! However, your voice was a bit too far throughout the video. Still, thank you for sharing.

[@MillaExplores]

Thanks for watching and also for the feedback! :)

[@cookiemel1092]

Hi there hope you enjoyed your trip 😊 Did they accept the small bag ??

[@MillaExplores]

Thanks, I did! Yes they did, had no issues with it :) I also carried my winter jacket and camera as loose items and that was fine.

[@maritbyron4653]

@@MillaExplores I was just about to ask about the camera!

[@ailacampo5048]

What color is the bag?

[@MillaExplores]

I think this is called "spicy orange" 😊

[@petipeti775]

Hello😊 i have the exact same kanken (classic one) and am also gonna fly with ryanair so hopefully it fits! btw were you allowed to take the crossbody bag on board? The airline says only 1 personal item so im confused..

[@MillaExplores]

Hi Petra, thanks for watching! I was able to take the crossbody bag on board, but I've seen people hide their smaller things under their jacket etc so it won't show. I think it might depend a little bit on who's checking so it might be good to hide it a little bit 😄

[@locks51979]

No laptop charger smh

You'll see it in the small electronics case 😉
