Great tips! I really learned how to pare down for when I travel. I"m not a minimalist, ESPECIALLY traveling to my family. I take items that work for at least 15 outfits plus some active wear. I can keep things minimal because I can easily wash my clothes while visiting family. Also, I wear the same thing a couple days in a row (why not if you are just lounging on someone's couch eating all the goodies they made?). Your tip about being able to purchase things at your destination is HUGE! I'd rather purchase something small at my destination than pack and lug it through an airport! Great video! I would love to see your folding techniques. I'm a Kon Marie girl, myself, but I love to see how others fold and organize their clothes!
With so many problems with baggage and stuff right now, I highly recommend to carry everything with you and this is a great idea. With every trip I have taken, I have shaved a little off the top anyway and I'm now down to a carry on. My first experience with just a carry on was last year and the low-stress and ease of getting off the plane and to/through customs makes me never want to check a bag again.
Carryon bag dimensions are actually set by each airline, not TSA - while 22"x14"x9" is what most airlines use, not all airlines do, so make sure to check the airline's website to make sure whatever bag/suitcase you want to bring is actually going to be small enough. I personally love packing cubes because I can stuff them super full and they still only take up as much space as they take up, and when I'm not using them, they pack completely flat and take up almost zero space.
I was a chronic overpacker! But the last two times I traveled, I actually pared down my wardrobe, and it was such a good feeling when I realized I had actually worn everything I had taken with me! I'm traveling in June and I'm trying compression cubes--no vaccum, just a second zipper to compress the clothes (do I sit on it to zip it up?).
Agreed! I used a set of packing cubes for the first time a couple of weeks ago for a 9-day trip to Cost Rica and it helped A LOT! I always overpack and end up with the an oversized checked bag that is mostly overweight. But not this time!The soft packing cubes fit perfectly into my suitcase and made pulling out clothing and other items so much easier while on my trip. The only thing is that I wanted to use only my carry-on bag but I still couldn’t get everything in it (hiking gear and equipment!) and the large packing cube took up the entire right side of my carry-on suitcase, so I needed the next size up suitcase which is a smaller checked bag. I also used a hanging toiletries/makeup bag which had so many compartments and it made organizing and pulling out items so much easier than having things in separate cases or ziplock bags. When I go home to Chicago for 4 days next month, I’m determined to use my carry-on suitcase and will not use the large packing cube this time.
This is great, I used to pack so much on all my travels too but I have learned so much through the years. Now, I always travel light, and what helped me the most was my Bento Bag from Nomad Lane. It's a very functional and easy-to-carry duffel bag, you can store all your most valuable items and what's best is it can also fit under your chair in the plane.
Now THIS I have to try!! I'd love to be able to go on a short trip with just a duffel bag as my personal item and if it can fit everything it is now on my list!!
@@NaturallyNory I'm 99% sure this is not a genuine reccomendation. I see those "bento bag" comments almost on every packing video. always very similar phrasing. that already would put me off of that (very expensive) bag
Great tips 😄 Especially the folding undies in your clothes one 👍 Nerver thought if it but it makes so much sense because or else, like you said, you end up with a pouch or other full of them and taking up space for no reason in your already small carry on Thanks 😄
Thank you Nori great ideas .I wish I could pack like you .I’m off for 3 months I usually go wrong with packing shoes and I take a lot of presents for the family .👍🇦🇺
@@NaturallyNory You're welcome & thank YOU ! I did enjoy watching this ! You do have a very soothing ,likeable way of talking !! Many You Tubers don't ! Lol. Thank you so much for your reply !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
These tips were awesome!! Especially the shoe and underwear tip! I realized I don’t need to bring 7 underwears for 4 days 🤣 folding them WITH my outfits will definitely free up so much space and help me avoided the dreaded lump of undies.
Literally I’m about to pack about that much for me and each one of my family members. I’m hoping we can pack our stuff in the carry ons. I don’t want to deal with big luggage. Crossing fingers!

I’m glad you liked it!!! I’ll definitely have a folding methods video out soon ☺️☺️
Except when you sweat because of the heat and you have to change outfits at least once per week.😉

So glad your video popped up! The folding methods are genius! I use packing cubes and wow this will make it even better in the cubes! Thanks!
You are so welcome!! I'm going to be using packing cubes on my next trip to see if I can fit even more in!!

I love compression cubes! The cubes with zippers, you just zip up, do not sit on them. Happy travels!
@@debbiemeyer7666 I actually did overstuff one of the packing cubes and broke the zipper! Totally on me!
I went to Italy in October and Greece in April, both for 2 weeks and with only a carry on.
Love the international travel with the carry on. That’s the way to go for sure.
I love packing cubes!
I’ll have to try them!

thank you!! I really appreciated this, in about a week I’ll be flying to Chicago from wyoming as a first time flyer
I hope you had a good experience for your first flight!!

This is helping me pack for Cancun Saturday thank you!! 💓
Thanks girlie. Have fun on your trip!!
May I ask what brand and colour is your lipstick? Great video!
You're very pleasant & relaxed ! Thanks for this video !! 👍 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it🙂
@@NaturallyNory You're welcome & thank YOU ! I did enjoy watching this ! You do have a very soothing ,likeable way of talking !! Many You Tubers don't ! Lol. Thank you so much for your reply !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Wow I'm definitely using this method the next time I pack. I could barely fit 7 outfits in before. Huuuge help

Lol the lump of undies is horrible!! Lol. Sometimes extra is needed but 2 in a lump is way better than 7 lol

Good luck!!
@@NaturallyNory Thank you!
Great tips!
Thank you ☺️☺️
Uff, I hate when I wear my bulky clothes then go through TSA and have to take every 👏 single 👏thing👏off LOL.
LOL, I didn't think of that tbh but in that case TSA precheck would work out perfectly since you don't have to take anything off lol
TSA doesn't care about the size of your bag. That's set by the airline. TSA is checking for weapons and explosives.
Great tips, music while talking; could not hear as well, music and your voice was the same volume. Your voice was lower than the music.
Thank you... this was 1 of my first videos... I've changed that in my newer videos
Well done . Many useful tips . Love your voice . Please ditch the music . So distracting.
Thanks.
Speaking voice is soft and background music is drowning you out
Thanks for the tip ☺️
@@NaturallyNory you have a soothing pleasant voice, you don't need the background music
I enjoy your voice too 💓
