We will show you how a minimalist couple packs our carry-on only bags for full-time travel.
Every item counts when you travel full-time and have a limited space to take everything you need. In the long run, flying with only carry-ons saves money and time. When we land in a new city, backpacks help keep our hands free and allow us to navigate with ease. We will show you everything that is in our bags and share some tips and tricks along the way.
This may not be our typical type of video but as we said, if it didn't happen now, it was never going to happen. Hope you enjoy!

One tip for you: ditch the liquid detergent and get some Earth Breeze laundry sheets. They are 4x5 tissue-type sheets that take up very minimal room, dissolve in water and do a great job of cleaning. One small sheet does a large load of laundry, so if you are hand washing in a sink, you can cut a small portion from the sheet and save the rest. Lighter weight & no worry about liquids at the airport.
That's such a great tip! Unfortunately, laundry sheets are hard to come by as you travel from place to place so you take what you can get. Usually we take a little detergent from where we are staying or buy the smallest amount possible and leave the rest behind. Even though the whole world has the same liquid restrictions in a plane as the US, travel sized anything is really hard to come by. Maybe we can have some family bring us some of those Earth Breeze sheets coming up? Thank you for watching!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE Google them & they will mail you some. Same type laundry sheets the military use in the field.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE You can buy solid detergent in most countries, it looks like regular bar of soap and in most cases you can actually use regular soap
@@SOSASATSUNRISElaundry powder...?
I carry the laundry sheets and/or Dr Bonners bar for laundry.
Solid shampoo & soap in Matador flat pak soap containers - don't leak & let bars dry=miraculous! Laundry detergent sheets, solid sunscreen, solid moisturizer, solid bug repellant... ditch all the liquids!! After a year in AirBNB's I wish the hosts spent more on one thing... decent pillows!!!!! Can you relate??😀
What solid bug repellant do you use?
I agree, I ordered the Matador soap bar case earlier this week, now bc of easter it takes a bit longer for me to recieve it. I've heard its very durable, it also works as an air freshener in your bag.
Bring silk pillow case, can put dirty clothes coming home...
Finally another woman with a bag obsession! I swear I never meet any other women that carry multiple bags in a bag while traveling
Nice review!! Those 2 bags look fantastic and I actually have the Porter 46, but none of those (even the Farpoint 40 is too big) are carry-on size when traveling around Europe and in many low-cost airlines worldwide. So, those are good backpacks but I have found out that anything over 30-35 liters has to be checked when traveling on the cheap in short or regional flights and low-cost airlines. The older model of the Osprey Porter 30 (bigger than the newer model) is my choice now and I have not had any problems so far.
I once did over two weeks across France and Germany with just a personal item and it was possible because of carrying detergent! Just a tiny container for me but it meant i could take a day about halfway through the trip, wash everything one evening, and leave it on radiators overnight to dry and i was all set to go again!
Nothing is better than knowing all the clothes you have are clean while traveling!
You validated my desire to take a “kitchen “ on my 4 month backpacking trip to Europe. The ability to cook makes me feel more secure as I don’t want to be dependent upon restaurants.
If you are looking to save money and enjoy some comforts of home, you should absolutely cook while traveling. Going out to eat for every meal is exhausting. Plus it is fun to pick up different spices and things from wherever you have traveled 😃. Have so much fun on your backpacking trip!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE I don't like to cook when traveling I am completely on vacation, no cleaning either so I stay in hotels I do enough of that at home, love your video, I overpacked on my last trip, I am going to try to only bring my backpack on my next trip.
You guys are the most honest people I’ve watched showing exactly what’s in your packs. Thank you and I have the same Osprey pack and love it too 👍
I am here for this! thank you!
Awesome tips🥰 you literally have your life in a bag, good job! Happy / Safe Travels!
Omg I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a packing video 🎉🎉🎉 so exciting, thank you!!!
I ordered the romper and just got it, I LOVE IT !!! 😆 highly recommend
Yaaaa !!! Congrats on the 1 year love love it . . . We also fly/travel with backpacks. We find it cheaper,easier and faster. Great video thanks
You are great! Best I have seen. Love how you switch back and forth, female male stuff. Keep going! U rock.
Extremely helpful ideas! 😂Thanks so much!! ❤
We use the same bags, just the smaller options - the Peak Design 30L that expands is awesome, and my husband loves the Osprey Porter 30L.....for us they're enough space since we're usually only traveling up to 2 months, not for months at a time!
Another great video! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
This was a very helpful video. I was deciding between the 30L and the 45L Peak Design Travel Backpack, and you have convinced me to get the 45L. This will be a bag that I can use for all trips whether I max it out to 45L or compress it to 30L The suggestions for items to take when traveling was the best part of this video. I never thought of having a dry bag for my camera equipment. I will definitely pick one up. The other items to pack were also very helpful. Thanks for a great video and I have subscribed to your channel to be notified of your next video😄
You guys are so cute! Glad to have found another bag lady 👯♀ new subscriber - can't wait to watch your other videos!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!
Great walkthrough👍
You guys are so likeable! I always watch twice the speed but I just didn't want to with your video. Safe travels to you two!
😊 Thank you so much!
Great video, thanks!
Great video! thanks, lots of good info..
I love your video! 🥳
Nice ❤ Osprey is my favourite bag in all my travels
As always we loved watching this video! thanks again from two old "one year to travel world" travelers.
Thank you! How much longer will you two continue traveling!?
@@SOSASATSUNRISE the plan was one year and that comes up in March. We then need to go home and take care of things around the house since we didn’t sell it. We aren’t sure after that but we won’t stop traveling. It will look different though in that we will be gone for 3-6 months then go home and see family for the summers. We live on some acreage so if we leave for too long things get wild.
We're planning a trip to Hungary and Romania. This video has been very helpful! Love your videos. Thank you!
Awesome! Check out our Romania and Hungary videos!
I enjoyed your video. So Unique, I've watched many of these and yours is currently my fave. Though you are a couple, everything in your individual backpacks is accustomed to you. I felt like I got to know a bit of who you are as individuals - one things for sure you two sure do love food! That's the part that sold me to subscribe to your channel. Enjoy the world and thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel. 😀 Food is half the reason we travel and what we remember most about each location. Each place might not have a beautiful instagram spot, but there is always something good to eat somewhere!
Oh my Goddess SAME. Cosign on every sentence.
this video is awesome. I am trying to design my own backpack for long-term travel. I agree that the power bank chargers are indispensable after trying to find McDonald’s to get Google maps and the chargers didn’t work. Ha ha.
Last trip, which was about two weeks to go scuba diving in Malaysia, I took a big travel backpack. it was completely full. I realized that I had a lot of clothes and I was at a secondhand store to get a light soft shirt. The attendant offered to put my bag behind the desk while I was shopping and he said that the bag was so heavy that he could barely carry it. That really stuck with me and made me consider what I was traveling with. Everyone has different needs, but I realize that I was focused on having a lot of clothes that I didn’t need.
I went to the park with the trashcan and put half of my clothes in the trash. It made no impact on my trip whatsoever, except to make my backpack lighter. This is not advice for you guys because you’re clearly more experienced travelers than I am. But if you are complaining about too heavy of a bag, I think you could make some significant edits. For example, the metal bottle could be replaced with a collapsible bottle. I’ve never used one, but I heard about it. Also, multiple jackets can be turned into one jacket, same with shoes. I actually prefer a umbrella to rain jacket from my style of travel, but it seems like you guys do a lot of nature stuff.
also, I would consider sending full hard drives back to homebase or parents house. I’m also going to send my prescription scuba goggles. It’s not too much for someone to store for me. Also, I’m trying to get down to one pair of shoes in the end I think I want to minimize to a point where , maybe sometimes I do without but have a really clear idea of what’s in my pack and also have it not be a pain to lift. Anyway, thank you so much for the video. It’s amazing.
Brand new subscriber here...thanks for the useful content! 😁❤️
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! 😃
excellent video
My 45L Peak Design is in the mail right now! Can’t wait to get it. Planning a 3 week expedition cruise to the Antarctic…carry-on only! 😁👍❤️
Awesome backpack - I have one for 2 years now and use it on each and every travel. However I agree with the sentiment that it's not the most comfortable backpack, especially if you fully load it (and it weights >2kg on its own). I just ordered Osprey Farpoint 40 for the upcoming trip where I'll be hiking more (and it literally just arrived when I was writing that answer) and really hope for a better suspension which Osprey is well known for.
Where is the romper from? It is so cute!
Good to see you carry a lifestraw..you never know when you might need it. My fave indestructible shoes are my blundstones
We have never had to use our lifestraw but we are glad we still have it. Although the answer is different for everyone depending on your needs, good travel shoes are so essential! Thanks for watching 😀
Wowza. Clown car memories😅. I cannot believe how much stuff came out of those bags. Cool.
Loved this packing video! Travel towels are nice but hamam towels or Turkish towels (they're the same thing) are much more comfortable to use and also pack small - I'd recommend opting for that if you use your towel frequently and want something that feels nice haha.
LOVE this! We will totally look into hammam towels if we see them!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE There are two different thicknesses. One is thicker, like a herringbone weave, the other is more like muslin and dries SO quickly - multi use from sheet thru towel thru sarong.
My Thursday Boots Majors have lasted for about 2yrs of daily wear. I use them as my office shoes.
Great video. I'm a BIG FAN of Peak Designs too although after a strap failure (broke at the pivot point by the shoulder) I often use either my Pakt Backpack or my Minaal 3.0. Truth be told they're ALL awesome bags. The Peak Design Wash Pouch (small one actually) is my Go To as my "Dopp Kit". My suggestion would be to migrate away from the cotton t-shirts and go with Merino Wool products. They won't smell as much after multiple uses and maintain warming properties even if wet as opposed to cotton. I now only travel with merino wool t-shirts and socks if I can.
Thanks for the tip, I was considering Peak Design
Agreed on Merino wool. Its just to pricey for a start. One by one I will be getting one the australian merino wool
I love merino wool t-shirt. Icebreaker does amazing product as they only use merino. It's expensive but once you use it & love it, it's worth it. The quality is excellent, very comfortable & no pilling. Just be mindful to protect it from moths & silverfish as they eat the wool. Merino works great in every season. Good quality merino as machine washable.
coins are so heavy by itself lol
Great video, though you do carry a lot more than I did on my last long-term trip. I try to go with a 30l bag at the most as well as a small shoulder bag or something for easy access. Then again, I've not travelled for a year or more in a long time and I have a lot less tech I travel with. You guys are still far more minimalist than when I first started travelling. One does tend to size down over time once one recognises just how much unnecessary stuff you have taken a long. Happy travels!
Sizing down to 30l is a dream! Although all of our equipment is what will hold us back from sizing down too much. Staying in one climate will also help. Of course, some of the fun is figuring out your true needs and going from there. We had the same process as we sized down from a van to a small SUV while traveling around the US. Thank you for watching and leaving your thoughts! 😀
@@SOSASATSUNRISE oh I SO need to look up that part of your travels!
My wife is packing our bags because she is a Tetris grand master, and I said "What would the Sosas say?" She chuckled.
Hahah! Amber would play Tetris and I would shove it all in until it fits. Next you have to teach me how to get your wife to pack your bag for you 😆.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE get her to? Heck she won’t let me because I would throw all the nonessential stuff out! We have been carrying a skillet since Portugal, a show caddy, and one of those pour over coffee thingies. Lol
To each their own, myself, I carry the max-edition pygmy, NOT full with everything I need for one month at a time, yes, I added one organizer exterior flat admin pouch, two exterior cell phone pouches-FLAT and I need nothing more! Absolutely fantastic back pack for the minimalist! Yes, I have to wash frequently use clothes, however, just one bag and no weight noticed is the trade off:
)
I love the idea of having a smaller backpack that can add other pouches if you need it. A cellphone pouch and exterior water bottle holder are the two things we both wish our bags had.
Amber, where did you get your cute black day pack?
Amazing info Thank you for sharing! One thing.. I'd ditch the Lacie drives.... they spin and are prone to failure. I like the Sandisk Extreme SSD drives.
Working on it! We carry more HDD due to cost and availability. We needed to buy another drive while in Tbilisi, Georgia. Finding any drive bigger than 1tb was a challenge. Hopefully soon, we will have a NAS for our future travels.
I guess that this is only relevant to certain countries or airlines as certainly here in the UK there is no way that you would be allowed bags that size as carry on with most airlines sadly.
We must have one of the smallest allowances in the world for these and they have got smaller over the last few years.
It is good to see what people do carry though.
Lol love the jeans from Romania!! I’m originally from Romania☺️ How did you like it there? Where did you get the front backpack?
What is the name of that mini tripod? Looks awesome!
Thank you, this is very helpful. We are doing our final packing right now. We depart tomorrow for South America and potentially a year away. We are going with 24/34 liter Osprey packs for hiking plus travel, as well as wheeled carryons, because we are old with lifestyle bloat. Hope it works out.
😂 .. I love that! "old with lifestyle bloat" .. very well said.
Oh my gosh I bought a pair of jeans at a thrift store while travelling but as soon as the weather got hotter and I was just carrying them around I gave them to someone at our hostel because they weighed so much and were so incredibly bulky!! 😂
I can't bring myself to let them go! 😭 I've definitely learned my lesson though. No need to travel with jeans unless you know you're staying in a cooler climate and will wear them often enough. We were thankful we shipped a little bit of winter stuff home. Dont ask me why I didn't send the jeans with...
The peak design back looks almost perfect. I would also like to have wheels so I don't have to carry it all the time
Great idea, exept here in Europe their is a size/ weight limit on hand luggage/ carry-ons!
We have traveled to nearly every country in Europe with these bags. There has only been a handful of times we have paid extra to carry it on and even less times we were told we needed to check our big bags.
You haven't travelled with Ryanair!!
At last! Some travellers who swear buy minimalist shoes in Europe!
How do you find these on cobblestones?? I'm so genuinely curious about this - have read many mixed reviews but tend to be from runners or ppl on walking pilgrimages.
Loved how practical you guys are - felt like I was watching real ppl for once
Hi Susie! We love our barefoot shoes for everything from city walking to big hikes and even cobblestone. It takes time to adapt and strengthen your feet and legs but we have found them to be the best overall shoes we could find. Thank you so much for your comment! We will be happy to answer any other questions you may have. 😊
@@SOSASATSUNRISEWow, that was a fast response time! I should also ask if you've had any issues with them on really hot pavements? This is something I hadn't considered up till recently when started seeing some comments about it. Yes I'm aware of the issues with adjusting to barefoot shoes, don't worry, I'd never just buy them right b4 a trip; I'm slowly working towards them - increasingly wider shoes with zero rise.
Amber, are those the Z-trek zero shoes? Is it true they can be worn as water shoes? Have you tested this?
When we are editing and working we try to stay on top of things 😀. Neither of us have ever had issues with heat.or even cold feet in the winter. The Z-trek zero sandals can easily be worn in the water. Our feet do slide around quite easily when the sandals get wet but they dry quickly and you can always tighten them a bit. The Vivobarefoot shoes Amber wears can also be used in the water and work well.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE yes, this is what the company says but I'd not seen comments anywhere else so wasn't sure if was just hype. So thanks.
And I totally understand trying to stay on top of things. I'm working + studying so...
Hiya guy's 😊 hey where can I get a rubber shower scrubby.... I think they are a great idea... I am in New Zealand 😉👍
Have you considered solid laundry detergent sheets? (takes up no space at all, and no need to keep in liquids pouch)
Love this video. Please tell me where you got the front backpack. It doesn’t look like Janzport. Thank you.
It is a Jansport backpack. We just have a patch with our name covering the logo. Check out our KIT for a link. Link in the description. Thanks for watching!
Wow great vid, is the peak design waterproof ?
Peak Design describes their bags as "weatherproof" and I would agree. Not waterproof enough to take on a rafting trip but won't leak while walking in the rain.
Do the bags fit in the eurostar overhead compartments or other european trains?
Very nice video! I was wondering where your tripod is from and if you would recommend it? Also doing a carry-on trip soon and could use the tip ☺ thanks!
Thank you! We use two different tripods. One we ordered on Amazon and the other is from Sony. Our bigger tripod is mainly used for our Sony A6500 and the other was bought for our small Sony point and shoot. I would recommend the bigger one since it is more versatile. Both tripods and all our equipment is in our KIT. Link is in the description. 😀
@@SOSASATSUNRISE thanks a lot!! 🤩
May i know countries you've traveled, that had allowed you to travel and brought your drone with you sir? Thanks so much for replying. take care
Hey, I've been searching everywhere and your video is the first I ever found showing porter 46 with daylite plus in front. I am going for the same combo..but I'm not sure how do you attach it? Is there a way/loops/or strap to attach the daylite in the front to secure it? Thanks :)
Love the video btw 💪🏻🔥
Carrying the daylite as a front pack isn't more advantageous to carry with the Porter than any other back pack. I dont secure the front pack with anything other than my shoulders and it fits securely. Ambers front pack slides off her shoulders so she puts her front pack on first and then the back to lock in the front pack straps. Thanks for watching!!
But where did you get that gorgeous skirt?... It looks so good on you and I would love to have something similar for those "dressed up" travel days! I have searched for something similar but my search has turned up empty! Oh... and while I'm at it, the travel romper is great, too!
Thank you so much!! The skirt is an American Eagle find from years ago. The romper is from Patagonia and can be found in our KIT. Link in the description. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! At the end you are talking about 16 kg weight per main pack. Did you ever had problems with weight restrictions for cabin luggage? usually the limit is between 7-10 kg.
Thank you! Sometimes yes, we pay a little more for 20 kg of carry-on.
Do u bring quick dry clothes when travelling in countries that have 2 seasons only? What are the sizes for both of your backpacks?
Where did you get your jumpsuit?:)
Where did you get the travel organizer in which you store your electronics?
Definitely one of our favorite travel companions! You can check it out in our KIT. Link is in the description or first pinned comment. 😀
I dont know what to do one of ny c cards will run out agin mid trip and bank wont extend it bfore I go plus main bank wants a uk address when I go but dont have one!
Flying from Australia, 7kgs of carryon only, and specific dimensions for bags, there is no way am I getting to Carry On what you have here.
I can go minimal with clothing, specially if I'm around SEA but the gear (laptop, camera, chargers, converters, lenses etc) is making my travels so hard!!
So true! Especially in SEA, I would bring the smallest carry on with my essentials and buy the rest when I get here.
ok but what’s the weight of just the bigger backpacks, aren’t there weight restrictions for carry on? do u just try to avoid getting it weight at all?
I hope y'all didn't switch the video back and forth between the two of you. It's rather confusing.
❤❤❤
Carry on ? ... What's the weight of both bags ?, please.
Day bag weight?
Backpack weight ?
Thanks😊
Nice and useful video, but one correction, your daybag is definitely not Osprey! 😉
ahahah You're right! Limited edition Sosas at Sunrise backpack. 😆
If your watch doesn't charge, try lightly scraping the charging ports with a pocket knife or some such. Once in a blue moon a light layer of patina may accrue on the copper, little enough that you can't see it with the naked eye, but enough for the connection not to work. I have resurrected many a watch like this. You don't need to scratch a whole lot, just a couple of scratches in the patina to let the power through is enough :)
I was so excited to try this and hoped you were right. Sounds like a very plausible problem and solution. There was something covering the connections but after scraping, cleaning and some time on the charger, still no power going to the watch. It could be the charger itself or the battery. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE try a very old usb adapter. Not the cable, but the usb. So it has less power. It really worked for me
WHY do you have one tiny spatula each? 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for a great video! 🙂
Hahaha. They came in a two pack for 2 euro and you would be surprised at the amount of airbnbs that do not have cooking utensils. Thanks for the laugh!
After 3 kids, I always pack an obscene amount of pj bottoms and underwear. Never trust the bladder hehe
You guys are great 👍
Hey bud, did you have issues with your combination to get through restrictions? To actually carry it as carry on and your daypack daylite plus as personal?
Not usually, no. My day pack was never questioned about for a personal item but my big bag was on a few flights.
KEENS
I’ve been traveling with a 24L, so your baggage isn’t so minimalist.
We’ve been travelling for 7 months of the last 13. We’ve found that more recently economy air travel flights are reducing the weight of your bags. We’ve had to pay for additional Kilograms for 1 checked bag on our last flight as we were restricted to 7k in our carryon. We got close with to just over 7k in our carryons. But that meant I couldn’t bring my camera or recording equipment. I’m hoping this is not a coming trend. They were also including the weight of your carryon and any personal bag in that amount. Just a way to grab more money.
Sadly, there are always new rules to follow! Just some helpful tips. We always carry our big camera and tripod outside of our bags and have never been asked to weigh it. I would research the penalty for overweight carry on for whatever airlines you are flying. If the penalty is near the same amount as it is to pay for extra weight or a carry on, I would take the risk and see if they even check to see if your bag is over weight. Also, try not to even give them the opportunity to weigh your bag. Check in online or at a kiosk and avoid the counters at check in and boarding at all costs. We rarely have someone ask about the size of our bags. Hope this helps!
Been standard for years on some airlines...
Here in Oz we have been restricted to 7k for years
Most places i've been have a 7kg carry on restriction including any personal items. Some places weigh carry on so I always wonder how people manage to carry 15kg+. I guess doing online checkin where you can avoid airport staff helps with that.
it will, the worse the airlines become with baggage the more people will travel like this and it will just continue to get worse. These bags are most definitely over weight and over the restricted size. Please don't travel like this, If your over the limit your taking space from someone else. If you need all this stuff to travel, check your bag or board last. They should just have dividers in the storage bin and that's all you get.
Do airports allow the osprey daylite plus as personal item? so the osprey porter as carry on and daylite as personal item?
The Daylight Plus has never been questioned when our ticket allows a carry on and personal item. Its our big bags that will get questioned from time to time.
Hi Amber, what is the name of the small black daypack you have? Looked for it in the kit and the comments, but couldn’t find it. Btw, I’m going to buy the Patagonia romper because of you for a month of traveling in Bali in July 🎉
Hi! It is a Jansport mini back pack I bought on Amazon. We will add it to the kit! Have so much fun in Bali!
@@SOSASATSUNRISE What is the name of the backpack that he carries?
hey, where did you guys keep your camera gear
We split up the camera gear. Nathan carries the go pros and smaller Sony camera and Amber has the big Sony camera on a strap that she carries. Our big camera never goes in a bag.
Is your shawl a Shemagh? It’s beautiful. ❤
Had to look this up! Yes, I believe that is the type of scarf. We bought two more while we were in Jordan and shipped them home. Thanks for watching! 😃
@@SOSASATSUNRISE Thanks for sharing I love all the tips!
Does that grey bag actually fit in the overhead bins on an aircraft? Both bags don't look like they would fit.
Absolutely! Once or twice we had to use a little effort to push them in but they always fit.
Aren't these way above the weight limit for carry-on on moss airlines? How do you solve that?
Depends on the airline. Although budget airlines typically have a weight limit of 7kg for carry on, we never go to the counter for check in and our bags have never been questioned while boarding. If the cost of a bigger carry on is cheap enough, we will pay the extra for peace of mind and still carry our bags onto the plane.
I reckon you could reduce it even more. But I have been known to take a moka pot so I can't talk.
16kg total for carry-on? Never seen airlines allow so much weight before. The highest i’ve seen is 10kg.
And the romper with the cargo pockets, where did you buy it? 😍
All of our favorite products are in our KIT. Link in the description. 🙂
As for the weight. Sometimes we purchase extra allowance for piece of mind and still carry it onto the plane. 95% of the time we buy the cheapest ticket, download our boarding pass and walk onto the plane no questions asked.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE just bc there's no one asking you shouldn't do it. Better to buy the extra weight allowance.
The weight allowance depends on the airline and counter agents discretion. Many times the concern is the number of bags you have and not so much the weight. Sometimes we do purchase extra baggage but still carry our bags on the plane.
Which power strip do you use?
You can find all the products we use in our KIT. Link is in the description. 😀
You said your bags are 16kg the limit for hand luggage is normally 7kg do you find they ever ask you to weigh your bags?
I travel with a 40l but as it weighs 12kg they always tell me it’s too heavy and needs to be checked in 😢. X
Our best advice is to never give them the opportunity to see the size and especially the weight of your bag. Always check in ahead of time online and either download your boarding pass or print them from a kiosk. I think we have been "caught" twice while checking in and had to pay extra at the counter to check our bags. If the price to check your bag is astronomical, I would look at other airlines that may have a more expensive ticket but allow bigger carry ons or a free checked bag.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE thanks I might try after my next flight as I’m flying with jet star next and I’ve heard they are really strict. 🥲
Did u mention airports? How can u be able to bring all the food??
I wouldn't really say u are minimalists bc some of the stuff u could leave at home. Make a capsule wardrobe- tops that matches with bottoms and vice versa.
A tip is to watch pack hacker, i do...a lot.
You can bring food on a plane. We didn't really go into much detail on our clothes but everything mixes and matches and can be worn together. We even wear eschothers clothes from time to time. We aren't perfect minimalists but for living out of the same bag for over a year, we do pretty good.
Ok so how do you get through security with all those liquid toiletries?
Honestly, we have no idea. We don't even take our toiletries out of our bags anymore while going through security. The USA is much more strict than the rest of the world.
👍🏽
Can you tell me the name of the bag that Nathan is discussing in this frame please? 20:10
All of the products in this video can be found in our KIT. Link is in the description 😃.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE Thanks it's just hard to tell the size in the kit versus in the video.
How often have you been made to check your bags? Has it been rare?
Rare to be forced to check a bag. More often we pay to carry it on. Still doesn't happen often.
What do you do with carry on weight allowens? Normally it's 7-10kg, do you pay extra or will you normally get through with it anyway?
90% of the time we walk onto the plane with no questions asked! If an extra bag is less than $10 when booking, we will happily pay to not have to worry later. Check in online and have you E-ticket on your phone to avoid the check in counter and try not to have two bags on when entering the plane. This also only applies to budget airlines. We have not had any problems carrying on our bags on any major airline.
Traveling around Europe, most airlines weigh and size carryon, Ryanair the largest low-cost airline will love you charging you for everything, EasyJet even charges for bags in the overhead bins only under-seat sized as free, on the turboprop short haul planes even normal size carryon don’t fit in her overhead bins.
In Asia, AirAsia the largest low-cost airline weighs and sizes everything at the gate, one bag and a handbag only allowed.
Vessi shoes are the every day travel city shoe that I will never not travel with
Coins?! Oh no!!!😅
Have you ever had a problem bring the Peak Design Travel Backpack on a flight as a carry-on?
The Peak Design might be too big to carry on for free but it always fits in the overhead compartment.
@@SOSASATSUNRISE Thanks!!! I envy you two. I am 62 years old and would love to travel like you do when I retire. Where you off to next?😀
Alright, total weight of your carry on bag? Its ridiculous some airlines are limiting the weight at 10 kg and some 7 kg.
