Excellent video! I really like your efficiency and style sense and truly appreciated the "Regret" video. I'm always curious about what people would have done differently AFTER a trip. Thank you for the information!
I really enjoyed this follow up video! Learning how to pack light is a process and I find it essential after every trip to evaluate what worked and what didn’t. I was shocked what a mess my hair was after the first time I showered in Paris. When it happened again the next day, my husband suggested buying some shampoo there. I bought an inexpensive bottle of shampoo and that did the trick. So now I just buy shampoo at our destination when we go to Europe.
I was in Italy last summer and it was so hot. My back was so sweaty carrying my back pack but I loved the convenience of having it. Linen was the way to go. I love silk but in that hot weather I’d of sweat through it immediately. I agree, the less the better. I had a cotton gauze dress and skirt and both performed well.
Yes! I just watched the packing video and I was thinking that there was way too much of everything. I have been traveling for years (to warm countries) with long clothes on me when traveling (long linen pants etc) and in my backpack I only have athletic shorts and denim shorts, and two tops. one bikini. couple pairs of underwear. sneakers on, and sandals in bag. I don't have soap, shampoo etc with me, there is always stuff like that in the hotel or I can buy. don't carry liquids. lighter is always better.
Linen is excellent and I like to pack a white linen shirt as well as an ivory linen vest. That being said, dark bottoms and dark tshirts (black and grey) colors are a must. I also take a black merino wool 1/4 zip pull over. I always pack for “quick and comfy”so when I want to collapse in my hotel room and relax, I have the apparel to do so. I include my packable rain jacket and one dress that can transition from day to night.
Thankyou! I am about to try to finalize my packing for 35 days with a backpack. I appreciate the reminder to pack light. I am planning to take two wool& dresses and two tops, one linen long sleeve. I was planning to take my icebreaker hoodie, now I wonder. I wasn’t going to bring the one linen pants I own, but now I’m tempted. They just fold up bigger and heavier than the synthetic pair I planned.
Great job! I watched the previous video and wanted to point out all the things you did but you caught it. One thing I would add though is please don’t use a money belt as a sling - it makes you look even more obviously a tourist. The bag you didn’t use was actually the better option in blending in as an invisible tourist. But yeah, thanks for making these!
Really enjoyed the capsule photos & your tips re linen! And re weight - we just doensized from 37 L to 26 L underseat bags. I am aiming for one bag travel, but we flat pack a second bag (either a PC sized cross body or the 13 L Kånkens) to bring home as personal item for things we buy - but we are usually visiting family & we usually are flying international so we get the 2 bags on the plane with us, and we usually are not hopping lots of crowded trains etc…. Happy travels & looking forward to more videos! ☺️
I am also in Seattle, and I feel Seattle/WA is most dry place that I have been lol. Very useful info! We are traveling to Spain in April and I was debating if I should take fancy shoes. You answered my question!
Yeah I think that is the way you're supposed to wear it, I was just too hot and my clothes too tight to do that. I will definitely wear it under my clothes when I go to Paris in a couple weeks
How much did your bag weigh packed? I have to take a lot of meds for long trip and what I own really so makes it much harder. I never found any mosquito repellant even deet that works except in Sri Lanka and cant remember name of it. Such a problem for me. Cant figure why other people seem to be ok re bites!❤

Thanks for telling the truth! ❤

If you have the space for the linen pants, I'd recommend them. But it is up to what you prefer wearing. Have a wonderful trip!
Thank you!!! Loved this so much!
Thanks for doing a follow up! So many people don’t close the loop for viewers.

Very useful
I wear my money belt below my waist, under clothes, not as a cross body; I also have an RFID blocking wallet that I clip to my bra
Yeah I think that is the way you're supposed to wear it, I was just too hot and my clothes too tight to do that. I will definitely wear it under my clothes when I go to Paris in a couple weeks
