Full-Time Travel Packing Update & Tips | COMPLETE BAG TOUR! 🧳🎒

[@rachelm5478]

Love how realistic this was, that you had no shame about packing things that might seem excessive to others but are important for you and that your wardrobe isn't full of techincal gear or typical tourist/backpacker clothes.

[@stephaniex987]

I love how Caroline’s clothing is bright and interesting instead of the typical black white & grey travel uniform!!!

[@DrLaurenBaker]

obsessed with all the Caroline outfit inserts!!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Yayyy!!! 🥰🥳🥸

[@laurilenhardt2188]

For the love of goodness... I watched your first video and saw all your jackets, I didn't even bat an eye. YOU DO YOU GIRL. It's your suitcase to carry around, if you don't mind the weight then bring more if you want. Don't mind the haters. They don't need to bring jackets in their suitcase if it means that much to them!! I'm glad you chose to bring what YOU want in YOUR suitcase. Enjoy, and safe travels!

[@gemmaregalado]

OK, petition for Caroline to please do a full Where I Bought My Outfit video , as I would like one of everything, please. Also, shoutout to the "Yeah you do" 🤣

[@WanderingAimfully]

😂🙈😂🙈😂🙈😂🙈

[@LeoeFabi]

Still waiting your notion template for this, as another spreadsheet/planning lover 😅

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hahah, forgot about that! We'll see if we can put something together from our first list (which we definitely have in Notion still 👍👍).

[@rosaglem1905]

Nice video, the zipper knit jacket looks very similar if not exact like the grey jacket I have. I like your style in general. I care about having certain items that may not be essential to others, but, are to me. You both did a great job.

[@ashleycwolf]

So excited for this! The last packing video is how I found your channel and I am so glad I did!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hehe, sooo fun! Hope you enjoyed this one as well and are happy to follow our travel antics this year ❤️.

[@sofianitchie5097]

Caroline, you look so cute in your outfit photos! I love how unapologetic you are about the things you love. And Jason, you seem like you were in a super good mood recording and you're super funny. I didn't know you could bring razers and nail clippers and stuff on a plane. You've said on your podcast sometimes you have to do different things at different airports but i assume liquids have to be pulled out and scanned?

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hiya, Sofia! 🤗 Thanks so much for the kind words, glad everyone is enjoying the outfit photos. Decided to add those on a whim, and seems like a fun choice ❤️. Yeah, we always need to pull the liquid toiletries bag out at security in the airports. Honestly, our bags get pulled aside almost every time just due to the amount of stuff we have in them. I think my cord organizer looks like a block of lead to an x-ray machine 😂😂. It's really not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things and we'd rather have the stuff we want with us and deal with a few airport security delays 🤷. Never had anything taken from our bags though!

[@allisonroorda7937]

This video is GREAT! You spent so much time putting it together -- it's informative and interesting, as well as funny! We dream of full time travel but (because we have grandgirls and don't want to be far from them) will have to settle on whatever trips we get to take -- Scotland was the most recent! Anyway, please keep making videos. You're my favorite travel gurus!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Awwww, amazingly kind comment, Allison! Thank you so much 💖. Hope you had a great time in Scotland, we have 4 videos coming from there soon!

[@casualviewer9792]

I totally understand the hassle of a beauty routine when traveling so I am 100% behind you packing your dyson

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hehe, thank you for the support of packing the ESSENTIALS 😂😂😂

[@JennyLee57]

You two crack me up! Interesting to see how well the items you brought worked out. Oh, and as far as the jackets...❤ Safe travels!!!

[@AllieTrumpower]

I was so excited to hear my tip for the collapsable tote! SO happy it's helped you guys. Absolutely loved this video!

[@WanderingAimfully]

GREAT TIP ALLIE! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@EricaTheIllustrator]

Every time I see the Siobhan Cardigan it makes me so happy! Such a joyful item and so perfectly you.

[@WanderingAimfully]

You know what's fun? The cardigans shall RE-UNITE in September! 😱😱😱

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

This is the video I’ve been looking forward to…thanks so much..great job!

[@WanderingAimfully]

NOICE! 🤗🥳

[@isabelcbmartins]

This was a full tour of your packing choices and reasoning for them, wow! Thank you so much for sharing all that you do, and love that you two can bring fun into all of your videos, on any subject, even packing! 🤗🙏

[@isabelcbmartins]

And loved the airtag tip! 😍 I did not know those things existed. Veeeeeery useful!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hehe, awesome that you even got a little tip out of the video too, Isabel! ❤️ Thanks for the kind words, we so appreciate it 🤗.

[@AmeryArt]

So glad I found your channel! Great update to your FIRST packing video! Thx so much Caroline and Jason! 🥰❤🥰

[@WanderingAimfully]

Wooooooooot! We're so glad you found us too ❤️🎉.

[@RussandSherri1996]

Fabulous video!!! Very informative and as always, very funny 😄 great tips that we’ll be using next month for our upcoming European trip (2 mos). Ciao

[@WanderingAimfully]

So glad we could help send some tips your way and have SO MUCH FUN on your trip! ✈️ 🏰 🌳 🏔

[@jeanam9236]

Was hoping for this update! Traveling full-time is a whole different beast than just a long vacation. I'm a big fan of bringing extra comforts and checking a bag, vs.the added stress of crunch time and airport scales.

[@WanderingAimfully]

Yayyyyy! SO glad you enjoyed the update video, Jeana 🎉. Those comforts go a loooooong way when you have very little daily routines and are in so many new environments and places! 👍👍

[@erindetka7712]

Those transitions are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!

[@WanderingAimfully]

WOOOOOOT! Glad you enjoyed them!! Appreciate the comment, friend 😇👋

[@ladyd6170]

I love Caroline's travel sweater! It's so colorful and bright! I wish there was a way to buy! Lol! And people always have something to say. To travel for a whole year, I think your clothing choices are great!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hehehe, thanks so much! 😇👋

[@NGBdmd]

I’m SO glad I stumbled on to yalls channel, you’re hilarious! Can’t wait to see more of yalls content. Caroline, I also have anxiety that I manage through medication. Would you be willing to add a blurb of the vitamins and supplements that have helped you? I’d really appreciate that!!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Awwww, that's so kind of you! 🥰 We would love to share the supplements, but they were VERY specific to some results we found from doing blood work with a doctor in SoCal. We'd highly recommend trying to find a doctor in your area that does full blood labs, especially around your different levels and see if you need to supplement anything (like, Zinc was a big one for Caroline we found!)

[@amandaweilenmann]

Woooow so much useful info! Thanks for putting this together guys! I just came across your channel and find you guys super entertaining. :)

[@WanderingAimfully]

Wahooooooooo! Thanks for that super kind comment, Amanda 🥰🥰.

[@lilaeia]

This was amazing!!! LOVE your sense of humour, Jason!! 😂💖

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hehe, thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@ErikaAltman]

Fascinating to see how your wardrobe has evolved. Has it been difficult to find ways to pass along the items you replace?

[@WanderingAimfully]

Great question, Erika! We haven't had trouble donating our used clothing. The two times we swapped out clothing, we asked the Airbnb hosts at our current places if they knew where to donate and they actually said they'd do it for us (yay Airbnb hosts!) 🤩😃

[@juanitaybarra9955]

Have you been able to carry on in carriers like Vueling? I need to find a carry on for our trip to Spain and Italy. Thanks.

[@danohart]

this is the video I'm here for!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hahahah YESSSSSS

[@melodyjoy5082]

I got in trouble in security at Gatwick Airport for too many liquid lipsticks. Any other airport in the world I've been to didn't care or make me take them out. Those dang guys in London though...hahaha

[@WanderingAimfully]

Haha, too funny! We were lucky and never had a problem (through 20 total airports in 2022 🙏🤷).

[@TheTravellingLuis]

I've been waiting for this video lol. Can you guys talk about how you get cash at the different countries in Europe? Do you really need cash or can you go by with credit cards? Thank you!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hehe, hope the video lived up to the waiting hype 😅. Good question about getting cash! Honestly, we typically just grab it from the ATM at the local airport we arrive into. Sure, we might pay a bit more in fees with our bank, but we kind of just see it as an expense in making our travels as simple as possible. Like, the $14 in fees in each country to use an ATM isn't fun to spend, but we'd rather not even think about currency exchanges, finding fee-free ATMs, etc. Plus, often times we're in countries that take Euros, so we only need to grab cash once every couple of countries. And, we DID sign up for a different bank (Charles Schwab) before leaving with the intention to use their no-ATM-fee international debit card but we had a snafu with a physical address and they blocked our account 😂😂😂. You could look into that bank, but you'll still have to pay some processing ATM fees from time to time.

[@aminadaimee5116]

Hey! Great update video! Love that you guys explain which items you didn't really need, but I think that always happens cause esp for a year, it's so hard to predict what you'll regret not bringing. Caroline, the tampons- have you ever considered a menstrual cup? I absolutely love mine and so glad to make the switch. They will save tons of space, save money since 1 can last 5-10 years (for $20-30 once, so worth it!), AND so good for the environment. If you're interested, I have this chart to help figure out a good fit. I started with a diva cup cause that's the only one you can buy in store where I am and I didn't like it. However was able to use that as a starting point against a guide I found to help me figure out which other one to order. That 2nd one was Ruby cup and it's been bliss! When it's in, you don't feel it. They usually come with a pouch, it will just squish into a small space. It takes a few tries to get used to inserting and removing, does mean you get quite intimate with your body. I mean I can go on and on. Hope you'll consider switching cause I cannot recommend enough how amazing menstrual cups are!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Thanks so much for all this great info, Amina! 👩🏻‍🦰 doesn't read our KZbin comments (for her mental health 💖) but I will pass this along. Wahoooo! And super appreciate the kind words 🥰🥰🥰.

[@NikkiMay]

You guys are my minimalist packing heroes!!

[@NikkiMay]

Can you come organize my bus for me?

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hahah, for the price of dog cuddles and a dip in the schoolie tub 🛀, we can make this happen 😅💪.

[@NikkiMay]

@@WanderingAimfully you’re hired!

[@ngmaudio]

Petition to bring back the cross-body bag!!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Petition has been approved by the committee of cross-body-baggery. Will await the necessary 20,000 signatures.

[@micki777]

what a fun couple 🎉! ❤

[@malidav5724]

That’s for informative video Do you need to buy a check in and buy a carry on for budget airlines in europe? I assume they works only allow small bag as included right?

[@WanderingAimfully]

Yep, you have to pay to check the roller bag in Europe. Depending on the airline, it's not too much of an additional cost 😇.

[@malidav5724]

Thanks, so if I only have this Monos carry on, do you know if in Europe it will be ok to have it as a carry on and not check in. Did you fly with easyjet and ryanair? Any bad experience with them cancelling or having very long delay? Thanks

[@ekozob2]

I'm obsessed with the colorful sweater you're wearing in the video and the polka dot linen dress. Do you have links?

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hi Ellyn 👋. Unfortunately, the colorful cardigan is no longer for sale, but there are other options here by the same designer: www.dunnesstores.com/c/women/our-brands/joanne-hynes-at-dunnes-stores The polka dot dress was from Zara 😊.

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

This is amazing, I loved your bag tour! Traveling is just so good when you have the best travel gear with you. Thought I might also share a good travel carry-on bag you can consider on your future travels. It's the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane. It's very functional and a good carry-on on travels ❤🥰

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hehe, thank you so much Francine 🥰. We know we're not going to win any "minimalist packing 🏆s" but we'd rather have what we want with us to be comfortable on this wild journey we're on this year! Checked out the Bento Bag and it looks super neat 👏.

[@river6448]

I would carry the same amount of jackets

[@WanderingAimfully]

JACKET FRIENDS, UNITE! 😂😂🧥🧥🧥🧥🧥

[@TamishaGrant]

A bit of a different question here but where is your sweater from? I lovvvve it!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hey Tamisha 👋. The sweater was from Zara!

[@lisamills6745]

Your clothes are so cute Caroline! Where did you get the tank tops?

[@WanderingAimfully]

Thanks, Lisa! Jason here (👋), relaying the clothing info... Two of the v-neck tanks are from a store called "Next" in the UK and the blue and teal tanks are from Primark 👍👍. We try to avoid fast fashion when we can, but the town we were in was low on options. Hope that helps!

[@lisamills6745]

@@WanderingAimfully That's perfect, thanks Jason. I've loved your packing videos. I'm about to do 2 months in Porto Portugal so this has been great prep to get me ready.

[@maryellenfortenberry4709]

What brand of suitcase are you using the aluminum one? Thanks

[@WanderingAimfully]

Both suitcases are Away Bigger Carry-Ons 👍

[@IntriguedLioness]

As a female I travel with about half of the amount of clothes I see here. I believe in capsule wardrobes and I can't imagine mixing all of these colors and patterns. I also tend to leave space because when you're in a new country you might decide that they know what clothes are best suited for that climate or lifestyle. Always good to pick up a few pieces to help one assimilate and be comfortable.

[@WanderingAimfully]

Awesome to hear you can travel with less! That's the great thing about traveling (and life), everyone gets to choose what's best for them 👍👍👍.

[@hello1868]

Where are your earrings and cardigan in this vid from Caroline? They're sooo cute!!

[@WanderingAimfully]

Those earrings are from a friend over at bycoya.com 🎉

[@Danielle41483]

Oh my gosh I love the black dress! Where is it from?

[@WanderingAimfully]

Hi Danielle! It's from Oliver Bonas in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️. (Also, try NOT to say that store name another way... 🙊)

[@michala2187]

We say ‘Marks and Spencer’s’ in England. You’re doing it right 😅

[@WanderingAimfully]

YES! Always love to hear when we're doing it right 🤣.

[@lbunnygordon1133]

I ll nust take small bpack carry on and daypack no more checkin for me as was nightmare last time plus bag got lost 3 times plus sone tried to walk off with it inspite of tibbon tie etc never again.

Thanks for the heads-up! Just fixed it with the new product listing on Amazon for those totes. Hope you enjoy the video, Lisa 🤗.

How can you afford to discard unseasonable clothing and buy new? Most people cannot afford to do that. What is your source of income that allows you to do so?
