The real problem is.. Repacking when going home..
yes, packing and unpacking is a time-consuming chore.
yes it is
@@dawngaither3757 , any tips to pack smarter?
Misk Wattad for some reason it’s like there’s more stuff going home 😂
I tend to throw the whole suitcase into the laundry room. Even if I didn’t use it, washing everything. The left over non clothes can go to my room to be put away.
A tip: instead of using a plastic bag for laundry/dirty clothes, you could use a pillowcase! This could prevent the smell. It's like a portable laundry bag
WOAH! Smartest thing ever!!!!! Easy on mother earth too!
all you need to do is like spray your "pillow" with like perfume or something and it will smell good
if the clothes are smelly or dirty they will contaminate other clothes in a pillowcase. Buy a few dry bags and use one for laundry.
Is it weird that i use rubbish bags then throw it afterwards😶
I usually just use a waterproof bag
In 2020, "bringing a facemask" has a whole different meaning...
😂😂 I know right
😂 lol! IKR
Whenever I hear the word face mask for the rest of my life, I’m gonna get 2020 flashbacks lol
I was thinking the same thing hahaah
Honestly yeah, PEOPLE LITERALLY HAVE BUTT MASKS!
Am I the only one who doesn’t own any “pouches” but uses Ziplock bags for everything instead?!
That’s such a waste of ziploc bags😭
Same I do too
Glasses without case?) you like to risk, don't you?😂
hahaha i do :P they are cheap glasses and i am lazy
HAHA I KNOW RIGHT! When i saw i was like oh my!! but i assumed they weren't super expensive.
Ola Petrova I was thinking the same :P
Ola Petrova she risked it for the biscuit 😂
I almost had a heartattack when I saw that lol im like NOOOOOOO theyre not readyyyyyyyy
2 more hacks (mainly for girls, sorry) that come in handy:
-ALWAYS keep a little 2 pack of those disposable hand warmers with you. You never know if you're going to be stuck somewhere cold, but they are also great for if you get sudden cramps and need a heat pad. They are usually around $1 for a 2 pack, all they need is air and shaking to activate, and some can last up to 10 hours.
-also, I use this trick when I run errands after going to the bank, but it can also be done on road trips or in luggage. If you keep a pouch of feminine hygiene products, hide your money behind the products in that pouch. It wont be seen, and even if someone does grab it and open it, they will most likely just see the product and will leave the pouch in your car/bag/whatever.
Hopefully this helps! (Also I loved your video and your totoro luggage tag is so cute!)
thanks!
TH-cam must think am travelling soon nd I'm here like lemme study my finals peacefully plz lol
+homemade pizza lover 33 hehe good luck!
Jajajaja
Don't put your home address or phone number on your luggage tag. People scope this info out to find out where you live so while you're on vacation, they're robbing your place. Put down the info of a friend or family member and they can contact you about your lost stuff.
Heidi Thomas gosh I never heard of this but good tip! good thing I have a PO box address anyway
Heidi Thomas I have used my work address before
The best is to put down your arrival adress as that's where you'll want your luggage sent if you lose it!
Elina Gibert that's what I do!
Because I put my cell phone number on my baggage tag, an airport person in Alicante called me when my bag had been lost for days by Lufthansa. The tracing tag had ripped off. They had no other way to contact me.
YES TO BAGS FOR LAUNDRY! I dont understand why people unpack their suitcases when they get to hotels. haha Im always living from my suitcase. I take what i need for the day and leave the rest inside haha!
you give the best tips aileen! x
Doesn't everything get creased?
Also don't forget to avoid bulky clothing! You can dress in layers if it gets cold + it gives you many more choices to mix and match and a lighter suitcase
I feel like you're the only one that give different tips about travel!! I'm glad I've find it before I travel 😭
Omg the ad was packing tips and I thought that was the video😂
Molly Loc SAMME
Molly Lock same😂😂😂
Molly Lock haha
Hello
No that was the video but it was just the intro
I prefer rolling my clothes because it saves a lot of space and prevents creasing 💕
Tamia Carelse I use packing cubes best things ever
I roll my clothes and put them into packing cubs so they stay rolled!
I'm a roller but I like this konmari folding so I can see all of my clothes without digging around my bag. If I'm in a hotel I can unpack and hang things, but visiting family I'll probably live out of the bag. I'll try konmari folding on my next trip!
MizAnn Wells I'll get some to try it out!
How come? I have tried and my clothes get more wrinkled...
I haven't flown in years but I'm about to! This is great! Thanks Aileen 😘
Hey! Just came across your channel. Your videos are so accurate. No drama. No useless stuff. To the point on topic. Simply loved it. Also liked your hair color transition in the videos. Support from India!
Finally some REAL tips and not the same be over and over again. Didn’t think about the pick pockets for a carry on, thank you!
You and I could be packing twins, because we do SO many similar things for packing. One other tip I can offer, if you do check a bag, is to include a change of clothes (including underwear) in your carry-on bag "just in case" your checked bag goes astray and it takes a little while for it to catch up to you.
great idea!
You should also put a label inside your suitcase. In case your tag is lost or the bag is mistakenly taken. Your name and cell number might get your bag back faster 😊
Me: *checks my countdown until I go on holiday*
Countdown: 3 months lmao
Me: OH WELL LET'S START
I'm not kidding this just happened
Eddie •-• dude how was your vacation
😂😂😂 my boyfriend and I are going to Florida and he just booked our flights last night and said "woo hoo 57 days!" And I'm like I HAVE TO START PACKING 😂😂
I literally haven‘t even booked a holiday yet, just started thinking about where to go etc. but I‘m already watching these videos😩😂
*241 days*
Thank you so much for these packing tips, I would have never thought to separate things into different pouches, but that makes things a lot more organized and make it easier to get to! This will be my first time traveling- I'll be going to Portugal, and I'm super excited! :D
Of all the travel hacks & tips that I've watched...yours by far is the most informative & practical😊
I just got back from spring break, I wish I had watched this before then hahah my suitcase was a disaster! I love how organized you are, it's definitely something I'm working toward.
I can relate! Thanks so much for this video! I remember my last travel I lost my Nomad Lane bento bag and I'm glad someone from the airport reported when found. It's really a good idea to put your name and number on your bags.
Thank you so much! I am going to America in about a week and I never figured out how to pack for a week. I tested it just now and it works perfectly! I am so happy!
Literally do everything you do in this video and it makes packing and traveling so much easier! ❤️ Love your videos!!
Oh God thank you! FINALLY someone who has the good sense of packing their shoes in a plastic bag! Seriously how people can do it otherwise is beyond me! Love the whole video and the tips by the way :)
Girl, I could listen to you talking for hours! Your voice is adorable
I loved the way you talk: fast and not boring. Thank you.
I’m gonna be traveling for the first time with my friends to South Korea instead of going on a senior trip...This was really helpful 🙏🏻 thanks
Wow this was so thorough and I love how organized you are! I’ve been watching so many packing videos and this one really covered it all!
i love watching packing tips, how to pack a carry on video. It's kind of like whats is my bag videos lol. I do mostly everything you do except all the pouches and vertically stacking. Never thought of that and I don't think i've seen that in any other video, that was something new I learned. Thank you!!! Will have to try that out next time I fly out! Thanks for sharing 😃😃
I really love your packing and traveling tips. they're so precise and straight to the point. please make more! 😊
I've watched a thousand packing videos over the years, but I actually got a new idea or two from this. Thanks for sharing.
The most helpful packing video EVER!
:)
Lavendaire do you live here in Oceanside or california

finally a serious youtuber talking about traveling and packing tips, i seriously needed this. all other videos i have watched were really tiring. they kept talking nonsense and pretending to be cute and funny etc. thank you, really.
thanks again for that pdf. you are awesome!
My Goodness, I have been traveling so long, I never thought of vertical packing! Brilliant! Thank you!
For me, instead of organizing my coins from previous travel, i like use them up before leaving the country. So about 1 day before i leave i will pay things with coins and smaller change, that way i won't end up with a lot of coins and smaller currencies when i leave the country.
When I worked as a waitress in the city, I met a film crew and we had such a click ..when they left..they all poured their coins into my palms..which wasnt enough...about 20 pounds I think..that was nice.!! So maybe also leave big tips..XxLiah
Of all the packing videos, yours are my favorite. So i was really happy when you uploaded a new one. Perfect for my upcoming trip. Thank You!
yay!
I LOVE your videos! Ur chilled and organized personality... I also like how u don't drag through the intro
You are thr first person I have seen who folds plastic bags the same way I do! Loved this video!
This is so useful for future trips! Yay! ☺️
I've watched so many of these travel videos and yours has been the only one that I found useful so thank you!
:D yay!
So true!
the folding clothing one seems extremely helpful, i'll keep this in mind when i pack for next week!
5 years ago my dad started his bucket list item number 10 the last one and it was go to every baseball stadium in the us and he brought me along and I've been to new York once and going again in 1 day😆😆 and California 4 times and I forgot how I packed last time but I found the vide and remembered your voice and watched it thanks so much -Jeb from alt Georgia
thank you! this is actually the first really helpful packing tips video i have seen, and I have seen a lot!
:D great to hear!
This video comes out perfectly in time for me! Thanks Aileen! I'm going back to Belgium on saturday and have so much to pack I don't know how I'm gonna do this! Totally had forgotten about wearing your biggest clothing items while traveling, it's gonna be so helpful!!
enjoy your trip!
Actually I'm going back home but thank youuuu! :D (I'm the one who went to the uk to meet someone I fell in love with, don't know if you remember ^^ but I'm bringing him to Belgium now! :D)
My favorite travel packing essential are silicone bottles from Roadeavour. It helps me keep my favorite shampoo, conditioner and bath gels neat and ready to use where ever I go.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how she is a pro at packing, and takes time out of her day to make these HELPFUL videos?
PERFECT timing for that video 😍 i go on my first vacation without a big suitcase soon!!! sooo happy you did this video, so helpful 😍 i feel well prepared for my first carry-on trip ❤
yay!! have fun, enjoy your trip!!
Omg I LOVE that backpack!! I’ve been so into backpacks lately and have always been a huge purse/tote bag person :)
Thank you for the check list! I'm leaving on vacation this Sunday.I'm trying to pack and remember everything!
A few things I bring that are suprisingly handy that nobody talks about for traveling is the stasher bag (snacks and water proofing your phone for the beach, also as a cool compress or heat pad)
Hero clip (also small and incredibly multi use, worth the price, binder clips to use as laundry clips, holding a snack bag shut, or blinds or a wardrobe malfunction. also to use as a towel clip for beach chairs (I use the med/big sized ones), TSA approved travel padlock (wire one) a lot of uses for that as well.
Niteize mini s biners with locks (can use these for pool lockers to adhere the key to your swim suit and not have to worry about it. Also useful for "locking" the zippers of your small purse while out on the town to make it more difficult for would-be pickpocketers so they pick a different target.
I use a be quick from jujube as a packing cube for my underthings that comes with a strap so when I get to my destination I can use it as a small crossbody also use a jujube be light as a larger packing cube that is my larger tote or beach bag at my destination.
I use a microfiber towel for my beach towel and a cotton Turkish shower towel which is thin enough to double as a beach cover/sarong I bring 1 ea. So I don't get sandy if I use the other one outdoors on the sand.
Extra wide headband for its regular purpose or a eye mask to keep light out if I want to take a nap, can also get it wet to help keep the back of your neck cool
Christmas decoration suction cup to hang my soap pouch on the side of the shower out of the water to dry.
A few ultra light dry bags instead of packing cubes I use like stuff sacks for a water destination.
I am obsessed with the matador soap pouches.
Toothpaste tabs and powdered dry shampoo are the bomb.
And there's more but I hope this helped somebody!
This was the best packing advice I have ever received!!!
thank you for your teaching. now i know how to pack you in my heart. so you'll always with me wherever i go.....
Lol i feel u
Thanks for the tips. I always travel for work and also find myself overpacking. I also pack suits and find it best to roll the jacket so they fit cleanly.
I seriously LOOVEEEE your videos!! They are so inspiring and calming!!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips. I've downloaded the pdf. Thank you again for being so kind xoxo
yay!
May Chen how to get the pdf to download i had it sent to my email
I like leaving a bit of different places for souvenirs 😃
Sooo Glad I tapped on your video first! My first flight tomaro morning! Thank you for being detailed! Answered my questions for sure!
Thank you so much!! I have the WORST anxiety and this is going to be such a good guide.
Hi Aileen :) I've been watching your (contentwise and aesthetically) amazing videos for a while now, you got me into self care, minimalism/konmari and basically getting rid of most of my stuff and loving what's left much more so thank you for all of that! This year I made a resolution to reduce waste and plastic in my life. It has been a lot of fun, very rewarding and actually much easier than always having to rebuy disposable items. So if I may make some suggestions for your travel essentials, I would use a stainless steel water bottle (they are super lightweight, keep the water cool and it also tastes much better than from a plastic bottle) and exchange the plastic bags for ones made out of organic material. There are many great foldable and washable ones. And the last thing I can think of right now is bamboo toothbrushes. This is what actually triggered my vow to try and kick all plastic out of my life (without becoming a total hippie/cavewoman..) I was so shocked when I read that every plastic toothbrush ever made still exists, I really didn't want to contribute to that anymore. Especially if there's so many easy alternatives. Ok that was a lot, maybe you found it interesting.. I'm looking forward to your next video and wish you a great time travelling. Lots of love from Berlin!
thanks for all this information, ill be switching now:)
It's the first time for me travelling alone and those tips are very useful for me, thanks a lot!!
These are actually super great tips! I'm going to Europe next month and have been binge-watching these kind of videos for ages, but yours has a lot of ideas that I've not heard of!
😄 glad you learned something new!
I love your packing and travel videos. This is one comes at a great time because next month I will be going to London, Paris and Rome and I want to pack only a carry on. Thank you!
Darn, wish I had some of these tips before I packed and left.
*Wears big clothing on the plane, gets arrested for a bomb threat*
Anthony Pavlovsky 😂😂
I do this all the time! 😂😂😂
Yet to be held by airport police for a possible bomb threat though. 😂😂😂
not for white people though they get the benefit of the doubt
Lol😂😂
Not prudent either, remove all for security check and then lose something while forgetting to pick up.
Hi, I just came across this video. I've watched quite a few other videos of tips on packing (mostly carry-on's only) on TH-cam. And I'd like to say that you do some of the things a little differently and they are quite useful. Thanks for the tips!
Hey!! You're doing a really great job. I just love these hacks, will surely be right back to check your upcoming updates. Keep doing such great work.
your winter packing tips helped me a lot during my Tokyo trip last week. I didnt bring a carry on only because I got 23kg free baggage allowance, but I did trim down the amount of clothes I brought and used a smaller trunk (24in) with just 9kg of baggage, which made my trip to and from the hotel A LOT easier.
yay!
She is very organised when she is packing and she takes her time🌺👍🏻😊
When I pack:
‘ grabs random cloths and throws them in suitcase’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love Dance lol same 😂
That totoro tag 😍😍 cool tips!
Thanks for this! Pouches changed my life!
Also your hair is beautiful *-*
your backpack is soooo pretty and I love it so much!!! it's pretty sad that I can't find it anywhere else since your mom bought it from Japan :(
I noticed you have some £1 coins and just wanted to let you know that the new £1 coins were released yesterday, meaning the olds one will become worthless from October 15th.
interesting!
Adrianne Kingh probably not true, banks will usually take them out of circulation slowly, so when they make their way into bank's and such they dont leave again otherwise theyre essentially stealing money off people
Tahlia that's why they are giving people up to October 15 to use their old money. People can also swap their money at the bank if they don't plan on using - which works well for tourists who won't be coming back anytime soon. Similar thing happened with the new £5 note which was faded out rather quickly (I'm talking weeks) that it's now rare to see the old ones.
Adrianne Kingh just keep it for a couple more years then it'll be worth more than £1
Ellie young Maybe. And it's has nearly been 2 weeks since the introduction of the new £1 and I think unlike the £5 note, it'll actually take longer for the new pound to takeover.
I’m going to go on a 7 hour flight and it’s my first flight and this has made me feel so much better thanks!😃👍
I’m going to LA in a few weeks and I haven’t been on a plane by myself before so I’m preparing and researching. Im very excited
You and I pack the same way!!!
Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedas venir en algún momento a mi país y que disfrutes mucho de todo por aquí, con la familia y los amigos, felicidades por tus vídeos...
I am so lucky that I came across your channel. This is by far the BEST tips for packing video i had ever watched! ❤
yay welcome!
I gotta repack my suitcase again. Gotta buy puches now. Thank you for reminding me about the laundry bags and putting shoes in a bag.
wow !!! best travel packing tips . love ur video ❤👍👍👍
:D glad it helped!
Lavendaire very helpful !!!😘
aww totoro tag!!! so beautiful. outfits for 10 days ideas?
hehe. check my instagram for my daily outfits - @lavendaire
this is so helpful!! ive never been on a plane before and i'm going to japan for 15 days so i really needed this omg thank you!
I'm going on a plane for this first time for a school trip in a few days. This was a very helpful video.
I love how being a kid, it gives me an advantage in packing. My clothes aren’t as bulky, and my accessories are smaller. 👍🏻 and being a girl… I haven’t gotten… that.. yet so yeah there’s a few items which I don’t need because I haven’t hit puberty yet 👍🏻
Wow I've never tried the vertical folding method, I normally use the rolling method like I showed in my vid. Have you tried that method before?
ps I am a pouch girl too! lol 🔆🔆🔆
The feng shui of packing ! ❤️🤩
I'm going on a trip next week and will be looking taking these tips when I pack myself! Love your videos! I just subscribed!
Tommorow I am aboarding this is so helpful and useful
Spanish subtitles are available! Click "CC" and check the video settings. Thank you to the contributor listed in the description 💕
Rewatching this in 2020. I got a hanging cosmetic bag and I think it will be great for my next vacation.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll be traveling to Europe this spring and these are really helpful! Love your videos! All the best!
soo much helpful
I recommend not putting your sunglasses or breakable items (mirror) in your carry on suitcase but rather in your backpack. If your carry on falls the items may break ALL over your clothes. Also, you may have to check your bag in because there's no overhead space, and if you pack those items they will get smashed by other suitcases as they toss them in the airplane!! Also, pack your liquids in the bottom of your suitcase and in the event that they spill, your liquids won't spill from the top of your carry on to the bottom but the mess will stay on the bottom. Also, pack a set of reusable utensils if you have them so that you avoid single use items that will go to the landfill!
I think if I put them in my backpack they would get squished even more! because things move around lol. Also I think glasses cases are so bulky! I'll use a cloth bag when I keep them in my bag, still I don't love carrying glasses around
Grate video! Thanks for posting! I love the suitcase with the two compartments + netted pocket area. Feels like it can hold a lot.
wow I love how organized you are. Thanks for all the great tips! Glad I found your channel, subscribed.
yes the tooth bush cover is nice but travel tooth brushes are smaller.
Nice hacks. But I think that also rolling your clothes helps save space for your heavier/bigger items. ❤👍
Omg thx I'm going on my first flight tmrw and cant wait! Thx so much!😁😁😁
