    Oh my god, all these pieces are actually cute... For some reason, I thought I couldn't look cute while I travel so I've looked like an off-brand Bear Grylls on many an occasion

    • @sierrashavon6459
      @sierrashavon6459 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      SAME! I was like, "wow, she's actually going to look cute on her trip!" I guess I always think of toning everything down when I'm out of the country to "blend in" and avoid standing out for safety reasons. But, depending on the country, I usually end up looking out of place anyway because the locals enjoy dressing up!

    OMG I remember your packing video from last year, and it seems like you are only bringing half of what you did back then!! I laughed when you were shocked by the small amount of bikinis you are bringing, because oh my gosh you have become a real minimalist since last time!!! Amazing video. I can't wait to see that you get up to in South America 😍😍

    • @leechafertravels
      @leechafertravels 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Larger airlines often have a 10kg limit on long haul flights. However, I would guess that her bag was still over that limit. Luckily, not all airlines weigh hand luggage.

I was considering the 54321 method but it felt too restricted. Then I popped over to your video and I was like omg I feel so much better I can do this!!! Your videos really help because I don't have a lot of friends to discuss this with so you're my spirit angel. Thank you 💖

    Hi Thank you very much for all the videos and all the useful information
    About the bar soup and conditioner
    To remove the wet from the bar or from your toiletry bag put some silica gel bags it will Absorbs all the wet
    usually i find silica gel when i buy any thing new i don't Throw it away i store them in a container and i use it when i need it
    Silica gel you can use it many time just heat it in dry environment and it will work again

    hi! i know you’ve probably already put at lot of thought into all you’re packing for south america, but from my experience in ecuador, in the andes like quito baños and quenca, it is actually pretty cold there all year around, just cold enough that i regretted bringing so many shorts on the trip because i ended up preferring longer pants due to the slight chill. since you’ve already left, i recommend maybe while you’re on the trip to buy one of those really colorful canvas pants that indigenous communities sell in the andes in ecuador and they are flown kind of joggers that pack up really small but also are a fun statement and keep warmed than short

    Oo i need to reduce my luggage load! I just did the Philippines for a month (thanks for all your amazing tips btw- i loved Camiguin!!).
    If you were going to Peru and Bolivia, more long sleeve stuff is needed- it was freezing!! Colombia and Ecuador you should be fine- even hiking in the lost city is boiling- but everything gets wet, so make sure to bring extra pairs of socks!
    If you go to the amazon- you can do it through Community hostel in Quito- amazing stay at a place with dolphins right outside. I did 5 days- and glad i did, because i didn't want to leave at 4 days.
    Have the best time! If you need anymore tips, feel free to message me :)

    Just a quick tip! If you put a little bit of parchment paper (baking paper) in the bottom of your shampoo and conditioner tins you can air dry the bars in the tins and they wont stick! plus it saves on space and time! You can use the same piece of paper for weeks! Safe travels!!!!!

But it was easy to get into a routine for how to pack it when we were in Asia.

    Amazing! I’ve been travelling carry on only for a while now and if I ever have to check my bag it stresses me out that my bag will get lost 😂 It’s also so great being able to walk hands free with just something on your back!
    Also idk if someone’s already mentioned but the tap water in Colombia is drinkable! All the best for your trip 😍

      I once had my luggage completely lost by an airline 😭 so yep I have the same fear!
      Oh really?! I've come across quite a lot of undrinkable taps so far 😅😅

      Oh really? Hmmm maybe it’s just in the cities then? I only went to Medellin Cartagena and Bogotá, also I wrote you a message on insta with some of my best tips for shampoo bar use, so give it a read if you have time 😊

    Loved this! I've got the osprey 55liter but the main bag is only 42litres and I've packed that for 1 year. The removable bag is pretty much going to be used for snacks 😂

    That's one helluva backpack! Nice water bottle too. Really wanted to see you use that space saving bag on the coat. Vacuum or squeeze out the air? Nice echo effect too for the empty spaces! can't wait to see how the trip goes...

    I laughed when you said "hopefully I don't get the shits" hahaha It happened to me in Colombia on New Years Eve (in Cartegena!) 😭😂So definitely a plus to bring those tablets!! Have fun and I enjoyed this video a lot 😊

    Hey! Great video! One thing I'd be interested in hearing about is your experiences of being away at Christmas, both around making the decision not to be with family etc, and what Christmas is actually like while you're away? I've decided to go away for my birthday next year (being a major birthday I decided I wanted to do something epic) but would love to hear about Christmas :) Happy travels!!!

      Will deffo share my Christmas experience in Colombia! Personally the decision to not spend Christmas as home is pretty easy for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love Xmas at home but it will always be there and I'm curious and excited to experience how other people do things

    Considering carry on travel, how much does it all weigh.
    I've recently done carry on only to Europe for 5 weeks, at just under 7Kg, wearing my rain jacket on the plane. I checked my bag on my way home to account for any shopping.
    It's quite hard to keep the weight down, had 2 travel trousers, 1 nylon shorts, 1 sleep tee, 3 merino teeshirts, 1 merino long sleeve top, 1 merino jersey. Enough clothes to last 5 week, but each item was very planned.

    I love this!! I am anything but a minimalist when it comes to packing so this is v inspiring and really makes me want to try travelling light too. Out of interest though, were you able to get your razor and spare blade through security?

    Ecuador can get pretty cold. I think you need more trousers.
