What's in my Backpack for Morocco and Mauritania? (17 Days in 40L Carry-On)

[@TravelswithCarina]

Okay but you make the BEST packing videos!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much! ❤️❤️

[@Nikam98]

When you return I would love a mini review of your packing video, skipping most and just picking highlights like “I’m so glad I took this” or “I regret bringing this! little unpacking video would be amazingggg😊 I love your videos and watch every one! 😍💜

[@sophieparkinson8448]

Christianne you are the absolute QUEEN of packing videos! 👑😍 No one else’s videos come anywhere close to being as useful and as fun to watch as yours! I beg of you if you do another ski trip pleeease could you make a packing video for it? 🙏 I’m going away soon and am struggling so much with the balance of sports stuff vs stuff for travel/evenings etc and all I can think is how much I wish there was a BB packing video for this type of trip! It would make my day 😁 Thank you for all your amazing videos and please keep making them, we love them 🤩

[@traceylovestravel]

Ok so I know you post well after you've done your travel but Moroccan Argan oil is the best hair serum you will ever buy and there are special co-ops that fund women where you can buy the oil direct from them

[@RanndiMarie01]

I loved watching your packing videos! I just spent two weeks in Panama and it was the first trip where I think I finally mastered my packaging! I used every item of clothing minus a few pairs of socks. There were a few things I decided I wouldn’t need next time, but I successfully survived for two weeks with only a carry-on. Much better than this time last year when I spent three weeks in New Zealand and Australia and brought the biggest suitcase I had and packed it full of clothes I never wore!

You should try the matador soap bag for the bar soap and shampoo. This bag is miraculous, let’s the bar dry inside the bag and not get soggy or gross.

[@SpatchG]

Love that you are do respectful of how other cultures dress

[@RoxIsReading]

Congratulations on 200K subscribers!!!🎉🎉 Enjoy this trip so much. Also, I recently went to Malmo, and best believe I took some of your recommendations, specifically the falafel restaurant. 10/10. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much! ❤️❤️ oh that’s awesome! Glad to hear you enjoyed Malmo! I have such fond memories ☺️

[@lucilasandoval3084]

I love every time you post a new packing video because I save them up for when I'm packing for my own trips.

[@MackPacking]

Goodness I’m SO excited to see your Mauritania adventure!

[@cryptolife77]

Enjoy backpacking, best wishes on your travel, always enjoy your vlogs, your personality always shines through.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you ☺️

[@ervinslens]

Lovely presentation my friend, happy travels 🥾🥾

[@gdgjgxghxfjb537]

Such a pleasure to watch every packing videos eventho most of things are the same ❤

[@maartjevankampen1706]

I have the same noise cancelling headphones! they're amazing... I always contemplate not bringing them but I always do because they also help with the pain in your ears while flying! if you have the app you can let them measure the pressure and they will even it out a bit. very nice. I had one horror flight where my ears where hurting so much and I never want that again.

[@Jazzvibesicl]

Just tip for saving space with toiletries- I use a shampoo bar and a conditioner bar, and use my shampoo bar as a general bar of soap too! Just make sure it’s a big enough shampoo bar of course. I’m so excited for the vlogs from this trip!

[@nanwithabackpack]

I love my eagle creek global companion backpack as well I have used mine for the last 2years. I so wish they would bring it back as it’s definitely the best. Hope your flat completes smoothly. I’m so excited for you 🎉. Safe travels 😊

[@BackpackingBananas]

I wish they brought it back too!

[@Samarajan3]

Love that these style of videos are back! Takes me back to the early days!

[@seandesmond5560]

Great video, wonderful Christie!!! 💖 I always enjoy your packing videos!!! Congratulations on 200k subscribers it is so well deserved!!! 🎉

[@michalin7775]

I miss your travel guides, they are so usefull 😮

[@BackpackingBananas]

More to come soon!

[@katebradbury52]

Really recommend the matador soap bar bag case! Super small and shrinks as you use the soap bar 😊

[@BackpackingBananas]

Ohh cool!

[@elena_a-2023]

You are so entertaining Christianne. Love this video! I wish you a wonderful trip! Have lots of fun!

[@ashleysouthcott6053]

Excellent video as usual. Arguably you might find a pair of gloves useful on the train - overnight to Zouerat it will be very cold. But by the time you get to that you can always get a pair in Morocco before you cross the border. Which, judging from others videos detailing the minefield nomansland, is an adventure in itself. Best not tell your mum about that...

[@BackpackingBananas]

Mum only finds out about what I do, after I've done it 😂

[@jr_8292]

Mauritania is such an awesome country, looks like a very fun trip on the train too!! 😅🇲🇷

[@balisugar2059]

So excited for this! I’ve missed your packing videos

[@nathaliebrader1000]

Have a safe and wonderful trip!!

[@lilyfrost3098]

I will never not click on a BB packing video ❤️

[@rituka]

I love your packing videos! Well done.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@lbunnygordon1133]

Great video. Next time will take a 30l backpack and 1 personal item weight together 1 kg unpacked. This way what i take will stay where can see it end of. ..

[@ohkay2090]

She's giving tradesman at the end 🤩

[@BackpackingBananas]

hahaha yes!

[@كروانة-ك6س]

انا من أكادير احب مشاهدتك ولكني نفس الوقت ظهرت خريطة المغرب مبثورة . اتمنى ان لا يتكرر ذالك. شكرا حبيبتي

[@bethmccomb3621]

I loved this video.. I didn't know you could ride that train. What fun.. I hope you have some gloves though. I imagine your hands might be cold.

[@dkwillrn]

How will you stay warm? Linen is lovely but not warm.I have the same backpack and am currently packed to fly cross country. I love the backpack also. Better take warm legging or you will freeze! I find a crossbody bag works well with the backpack. This combo worked well for me for 3 weeks in Europe. Lovely video and happy trails

[@BackpackingBananas]

I packed leggings! (They came slightly later on after the trousers in the video)☺️ and also the jeans that I’m wearing on the flight. When it’s extra cold on the train, I will layer up with both my leggings and jeans!

[@wherestheparty_]

I see why you`d pack to the max but I did this mistake before and when you`re backpacking I just cannot carry that much stuff with me - every day up & down, once I actually got bruised on my hand from the backpack so in the future I will bring 1/2 less couse at the end you realize you don't really need 5 pairs of pants 🙃 good luck with the train it sounds like a real adventure!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Haha we’ve all learnt the hard way 🙈 what size is your backpack now? ☺️

[@wherestheparty_]

@@BackpackingBananas probably around 35L. I think my laptop is the biggest issue (was a digital nomad) si I look forward to my next trip where I`ll be traveling without it for the first time 😇

[@velyvely6479]

i'm shouting at the screen "fold the pants not roll`!!!!!" lol if you folded them and placed them ontop of each other you would have had more room, also another tip i found recently is to make like a long sausage out of pants and tuck them around the shape of the bag. also i'm worried about you taking a brand-new pair of boots you haven't worn yet, they look like they'd cause a lot of friction hopefully you do ok in them on the trip, some band aid tape might be a good thing to add into your kit

[@BackpackingBananas]

Ooohh I’ll have to try out the long sausage pant trick! Ahh the boots were okay in the end ☺️ I knew I wasn’t going to be walking far in them!

[@tracyx11]

It's actually insane how much you can fit into that backpack?!! It doesn't even look that big!!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

It’s the clamshell design I swear! It makes it so easy to pack so many things 🤩

[@MariaDeLuzSaldivar]

Have great. Day your venture. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍

[@omar.alere22]

wow you went to mauritania that's different, most people never even heard of my country lol

[@annalang5687]

I'm so curious about your experience in Marocco. I have heard very mixed reviews of the country, to say the least

[@BackpackingBananas]

Same!! But I’m pleased to say I’ll be reporting back a very positive experience!

[@user-de1qj6nl3w]

How will you manage travelling around on hot days if your bag was so full while wearing all your biggest layers? I wear my heaviest clothes (Australia almost always weighs and it has to be under 7kg) but I still make sure everything fits while wearing my smallest clothes just in case!

[@BackpackingBananas]

That is where the foldable backpack comes in ☺️

[@MimWard1]

Did the backpack fit in the free ‘small backpack’ or added hand luggage bag? Thanks!

[@ozywomandius2290]

I love your videos! I have noticed there’s so much less emphasis on making sure all toiletries fit in a tiny ziploc, even with other KZbinrs as well. I’m from the US, and it’s what hangs me up the most when I pack, tho I decant etc. In your travels, do you find that this is not stringently enforced? Just wondering if it’s sth we Americans are obsessing over, though I do recognize the value of limiting liquids.

[@BackpackingBananas]

In the UK, unless you go through one of the new machines which are still quite rare, it is very very strict and they will make sure all your liquids fit in the bag and that it completely zips up 🥲

[@ozywomandius2290]

Thanks for the reply, that’s good to know. Here the one-quart (~950 ml?) zipper bag is the standard. Similar there?

[@Simon-gx1wf]

If anyone read this, in the backpocket of my banana bag I always carry toilet paper in a ziplock… saved me more than once!

[@melisabataller8484]

I’m just wondering how long it took you to go through security with all those layers 😂 awesome video!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

😂😂 luckily not too long, just had to take off my down jacket and fleece. But they let me keep my boots on!

[@adventureswithmegan]

Fab to see another packing video from you 🙏🏻. Do you know what the stick is on your go pro? Like the handle? Looks nice and compact 👌🏻

[@BackpackingBananas]

It's the shorty stick :)

[@adventureswithmegan]

@@BackpackingBananas oh tbf that makes a lot of sense.

[@VTK72]

❤❤❤

[@mohammedelyoussfi4759]

Welcom to Shara moroccoo

[@anna-karinwikstrom4410]

I really like to know if you missed the shorts!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Not at all! Was very happy with just my trousers ☺️

[@natasharisman5839]

🎉🎉🎉

[@Hammergirl1]

I'm sorry but got the Moroccan map incorrect. There's no country between Morocco and Mauritania, you'd know this since you'll pass there to arrive to Mauritania.

[@BackpackingBananas]

It’s a screengrab from Google maps so I’d take it up with them 😉

[@zakariamaiza9601]

Sahara is Moroccan ok 😊

[@isabelsarson982]

No ear plugs??😱

[@BackpackingBananas]

I like to live life on the edge 😂 (I just prefer using headphones when I need to block out noise lol)

[@jessicaireland1947]

Is there anything you packed that you wish you hadn’t?

[@BackpackingBananas]

I probably didn’t NEED 3 trousers. I wore the white ones the least. But other than that, honestly - I used and wore absolutely everything else that I packed!

[@SoccerStoriesBeingTold538]

How will u edit video with no labtop

[@BackpackingBananas]

I edited one video on my iPad, but other than that, this is an edit-free holiday :)

[@chan-selfcare5208]

Welcom to morocco princess 😘

[@MAC-re4fm]

The mosques just don’t “go off”, it’s the call to prayer. Have some respect.

[@11okt]

3 times socks? How does did you do that???
