- After 2 years of traveling, I have found the BEST method for packing a suitcase for travel. I use packing cubes, toiletry cases, and an AWAY suitcase. I share what works best for me and let me know in the comments your thoughts on the way I've packed!

I traveled for 10 yrs professionally & this is EXACTLY what I do; that & always having to look fab is why it takes me a whole day to pack but I DO NOT overpack & Ive never shown up & said ‘oh man, sure wish I had _____’
Awesome!! It's proven to work for me for years and I love it 🙂
Same!😂
I can’t be the only one binge watching these kinda vids before a trip
Nope! It’s super helpful.
Same here
🙋🏽♀️😂
Same
Definitely not alone there!!
Refreshing to watch a pack with me where the goal is to take the right amount of stuff, not just the least amount of stuff. I find the minimalists take all the fun out of it, and won’t ever travel with more than a carryon.
Glad you found it valuable! :)
Yes! “The right amount of stuff not the least amount of stuff…” Perfect way to put it!
I love this right amount thing, I love being able to take very little but really love just right amount. There is a happy medium.
My thing when it comes to packing is it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it so i over pack and to be honest I do end up using the extra stuff I pack because when u go on vacation u have to be ready for anything
😂😂😂😂 I instantly started panicking for her🤣🤣🤣 I know that I’m stressed to see that everything for seven days fit in that one packing cube and on the one (wrong side) of the suitcase🚩🚩🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️💁🏽♀️😡😡!!!! I can think of 20 things she forgot for her🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪 I’m extremely triggered and stressed about 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤣🤣🚩🚩
I have used your packing method just without the mesh bags. It still works great!
Rolling clothes saves more room! I don't understand how but it does! Lol
I prefer to roll the outfits together so i can just “grab n go” without digging through my whole suitcase. It also helps with keeping track of everything. I just roll a t-shirt, shorts, underwear and socks together and just re-use a few bras so i pack those separately then i line up the rolls in the suitcase and fill in the extra space with the “non rollables”, toiletrie bag, shoes etc.
i’ve been doing that for years. i’d do skivvy rolls on all my clothes and i can fit a weeks worth of clothes in a backpakc
I’m going to Florida for 2 weeks this year and you definitely sold me on the packing cubes. Funny thing is, the entire video I was getting a little stressed about space but then I remembered after like 10 minutes of stressing that I’m not sharing a suit case! 😂 definitely will be rewatching this when the packing begins haha
Lol yes! Don't share a suitcase if you don't have to! :)
I love using air compression bags over the cubes.
Is it me or is packing the bag more fun than the actual trip!?
Edit: plz tell me ur joking... 298 LIKES srsly thanks
Edit 2: I think packing kinda stressful too
Note: plz don't swear in the replies or I will surely report you.
Packing a bag for a trip really is a lot of fun lol 😅🤣
I’m moving and I have to pack and it’s pretty stressful
stupid?
@@McCarlsen what
@@McCarlsen WHAT DO YOU MEAN
I packed 14 days of clothes and shoes for me and my daughter in one rolling suitcase, then put that suitcase in the larger size so we could bring home souvenirs. I accomplished this by putting daily outfits together in a vacuum sealed bag per day.
Loved this suitcase packing! Your tips were super helpful and I can relate to the struggle of overpacking. Planning outfits based on an itinerary is genius, and those packing cubes are a game-changer. Thanks for sharing your personal experience and practical advice. Keep it up!
So far this is the Most Helpful video , Thank You 🤗
This makes me happy!! Glad you found it useful :)
Loved your video, thanks for the great ideas! I thought the other side was empty for all the great stuff to bring back. Ha ha ha!
That's also a great reason to leave a side empty! ;)
What sucks is that I have no clue what I’m doing when I go on vacation… we have zero plans other than going into the city and going to the beach
That's seriously sometimes the best way to enjoy a vacation though!
PLEASE wrap your shoes in a plastic bag of some sort! They are totally gross and covered in germs and then you just put them in your suitcase!!! ;P
Finally someone said it! I always put my shoes in a plastic bag. You don’t want your dirty shoes that been on the ground all on your clothes 😭.
My clothes were in the packing cube. They weren't touching. Plus this was just as an example. Yes please wrap your shoes in plastic. None of my clothes got dirty in the making of this video.
THANK YOU... I thought I was the only one who noticed this...lol....
Allyson.. Thanks for the help with Packing.. I'm Off to Ohio, Anxiously waiting to Greet My First Grandchild, a Granddaughter, to be Born December 2nd.. Im probably twice your age, but I've never used these Packing Cubes.. I bought The Elephant Bags off of QVC / HSN So I'm going to assume packing it will be the same.. Thanks for being "Real" and not 'Robotic' on here.. If I could give you more than 1 Like I would.. I'll check out your other tutorials.. Thanks again, Stay Safe..
Hey, fellow traveler! Your "Pack With Me" video is a breath of fresh air. Your authenticity shines through, and your tips are on point. By the way, have you seen the new v4 Bento Bag from NomadLane? It could be a handy addition to your travel gear lineup!
Great video! What size away luggage is that ? 21 inch? 24?
This is awesome thank you for sharing❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Do you use this size suitcase as a carry on or checked bag? Impressed how much you got in that packing cube! It sucks that for business trips, blazers take up so much room and you can't really roll them. Grr
This is a checked bag size :) and I agree. I wish there was an easier way to pack bulkier items. I have worn my biggest clothes on me when flying to help with the weight and room of the suitcase!
Awesome.... definitely gonna try the cubes!!
Let me know how you like it!
Is that the carry on size luggage? The germ freak in me needs the shoes to be in a plastic bag though
It's the checked baggage size!
I live in Panama City beach so when she said that It surprised me lol
Lol it's a popular vacation spot 😅
This helped me so much and I have to go to Florida so this helps sooooo much thank you
Hi Allyson! Thank you for this informative video, excellent ideas!
Could you tell me what size are the packing cubes you’re using? Can jeans fit inside them? Thank you😊
Love the Away suitcase!
Haha, your so clever and funny, BTW. I am from Panama City, Fl. Hope you have fun on your trip!
Love Panama city!
Such a useful video!!♥
Love it. I bought the cubes. So, I'm going away to the Jersey shore for two weeks. How much should I pack???
Try to use some items that you can re wear without having to wash them and will go with different clothes so it doesnt look like youre rewearing the same outfit! Or, take one weeks worth of close and then find a laundry mat half way through! I always try to take neutral colors so that I can mix and match!
Great video.. what size Away Suit Case are you using the video? Great video thanks again
This is the medium size checked Bag 😊 glad you liked the video! Let me know if you have anymore questions
My mom and I get those stitch fix clothing boxes which comes with little shoe bags, save those and use them for flying, can fit multiple pairs and keeps them separate from clothes
I would really like to see what all these cloths looked like after they were unpacked. Were they all wrinkled or looked like a sock puppet.
They aren't wrinkled If you take them out of the suitcase once you arrive to your destination!
Love your tips
Glad you found them useful! :)
The suit part killed me haha😂
Are the double sided packing cubes you used in the video the same ones you linked in your description box ?
I’m packing for a 4 to 5 day trip 5 hours away in ks summer
This is genius!
Might need me a packing cube
Is that a carryon or a medium size? Don’t you put your shoes in a bag or something?
FYI..Pills should always be carried in the prescribed bottle.Cops search bags and find random drugs in a pill day planner you can expect to spend some time at a station.
Very informative. TFS
Glad you found it informative! 😁
Hey i am going away for a month to New Jersey from Arizona of August, what your thought for packing?
I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, my baby niece just passed and my family is going to comfort my sister, we don’t put a time limit for how long we stay with harsh situations like these.
Oh no :( I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending prayers and hugs to your family ❤️
What size away suitcase is this? Thanks!
What size is the Away bag?
2:02 I’m packing for 6 months🥴
you talk too much unnecessary
appreciated for your replying you are so humble
Sorry you feel that way. I enjoyed making it :)
Me looking at your sweater and knowing I live a 20 min drive away from SPI 👁👄👁
I loved it there! My husband and I lived there for 2 months in an air bnb last winter
HTH do you afford to travel for two years??
Lol good question! My husband and I saved up around $80,000 over the course of 4 years. We were in the military and just put every cent away that we could! Then we lived off of a budget of about $50 a day including lodging and food! It took a lot of determination but we did it!
Do things get wrinkled?
I usually take them out of the suitcase when I arrive to avoid wrinkling! I've never had a problem even with a 36 hr travel day :)
What size is your away luggage?
This is the medium size :)
@@AllysonSpieler inches???
Looks Like Everything Will Be Totally Wrinkled When You Unpack
Not as long as you unpack right when you get there! I've never had a problem :)
You did it! LOL🎉🎉🎉🎉
its ALWAYS weight not space for me :S
also saying "their" language is inherently racist, just say "I don't speak Croation", its hard not to be a racist isn't it
me who’s going to panama city beach for 7 days: 🤨🤨🤨🤨
The way she kept saying "suit" in the first portion was very gender-affirming. Haha. - R
What do you mean? Lol
OUCH, never take packing tips from a kid :)
Why?
Get to the point jeez
Ok :)
One thing you didn’t mention was when packing the suitcase make sure the heavy stuff is at the bottom. Trying to manoeuvre a top heavy rolling suitcase is not fun.
Great tips thank you!!
Glad you found them useful! :)
I actually write down my itinerary too and I write down what I will wear for each day…morning, day and night…each expedition is different…
Writing it down helps to get dress in the morning. I once travelled with someone who had clothes all over the room trying to decide what she was going to wear.
Taking photos on your phone of each outfits is the best idea…it makes packing for your next trip even faster.
It took me years to buy the right travel clothes.
I can now pack into a carry on 14 days worth of clothing with the help of packing cubes ..(I started out many years ago with large baggies that also works)
Note: on long hauls with multiple stops it might be best to use a 24 inch luggage instead of carry on. A 24 inch is very easy to manage but needs to be checked in. A checked bag means you don’t have to haul your luggage with you through multiple airports and makes going through security check points that much faster especially if you don’t have much time between each flights.
That is awesome!! And some really great points! Thanks :)
Awesome
I do something similar
Pics of outfits is cool

Yikes! Dirty shoes directly in? I’d put them in bags and on the other side. Though I’d like to say this is the most helpful packing video I’ve seen. That cube trick to partly close it and keep stuffing is great. I’m trying that on my next trip
Glad you found it helpful!
We love some $3 old navy flipflops
Yes!! I've loved them since middle school lol 😅🤣
Yes!
I still wear my10-year old Old Navy flips daily! They look the same as they did when they were new. Thanks for the great travel info.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I love old navy flip flops 😅 can't go wrong!
That suitcase was beating her at the end lmao. Great video. Thanks
Lol it was 🤣🤣
I love the sound you made when pushing down the shirts. I smiled. Thanks for simply being yourself while providing helpful guidance.💐
Aww this made me smile 🥰
I make a daily list too. It helps get your thoughts together.
100%!
I do that. I type more or less what we will be doing and I plan accordingly. I’ve gotten so good at packing my husband’s, daughter’s, and my clothes in one medium-large size luggage.
That's so great! I really think it makes the planning process go smoother :)
Well, if you fold up the bottom about an inch or so first before you roll you can use that to tuck the garment into itself. It’s called an Army Roll, no need for bags. If you pack the rolled item vertically in say a 20 inch carryon, you can double your space for more clothing.
One of the positives with sharing a suitcase is it really forces you to take what you need/will definitely wear. Having an itinerary is key to effective packing too. It works even better for me since I only wear neutral color clothing so just about all my outfits are interchangeable. Even though I get at least 2 free checked bags with most airlines, it definitely does make traveling easier sharing 2 checked bags vs checking 4 individual bags (I come from a family of 4). Great video!!
Hey hello can you make another detailed video using the app Skyscanner but actually explaining with booking through with Skyscanner? Please and thank you 🖤
Thanks for the idea! I definitely will make one in the next few weeks :)
Great video! :D I really like these types of videos! It would be great to know about electronics. I remember when I traveled I was told at the check in bag area to have batteries in my personal bag rather than the checked bag.
Thank you! So glad you liked the video :) I will actually go ahead and do a new video on packing my carry on bag with electronics. Thanks for the idea! :)
@@AllysonSpieler No prob!! I wanted to take my drone! BUT It was my first time flying in an airplane and I wasn't sure about taking it & having a problem at the airport so I didn't take it :(
My husband knows a lot about drones and makes videos on drone laws and everything. He has a youtube also if you'd like to check out his channel :) Aaron Spieler is his channel name
I fold my clothes(Kon-Mari method) for my packing cubes. I have 3 different types of packing cubes(regular, compression, and clear), including the ones you have. Still get that same amount of stuff, and my clothes don’t end up wrinkled.
Omg! Your shoes are dirty why not put it inside a bag.
My clothes are inside a bag. This way works for me!
I think I'm the only person here binge watching these packing related videos even though I know I am not going anywhere🥲😪
What size suit case are you using?
I'm from Croatia, I hope you enjoyed it😊😊😊
I absolutely loved it!!
What size of suitcase are you using?
I can't even begin to express how THANKFUL I am to have come across this video! I had never even heard of packing cubes. You saved me so much stress and time! THANK YOU!!!
That makes me so happy!! Packing cubes are the best!
This is AMAZING. Just what I needed. And great point about some clothing items not being roll-friendly. I’d used the rolling method but realize some things would be better laid flat. With all the travel woes and delays, I am committed to a total carry-on travel sitch. Thank you!
So glad you found it helpful! And yes, part of packing is knowing when to roll and when to not roll! Use your best judgement :)
You better have an iron packed away because you'll need it. Amazing how many shirts fit in the one bag!
Ive actually never needed an iron! I'm one of those crazy people that unpack when they get to their destination lol
“TH-cam’s hard” I felt that in my soul. LMAO
Lol no joke 🤣🤣
What @ wrinkling? Do the items come out ok or will they need to be adjusted?
Good question! I haven't had a problem with wrinkles as long as I take them out once I reach my destination! I hang them up or put them in a drawer
@@AllysonSpieler got it. thanks.
Love it! Very informative 🤘🏼 i love you chose PCB! Gotta get me some cubes
Lol yep! It was the first vacation spot that came to mind 🤣
Great video! I just came from a wedding at South Padre Island and packed for it using my cubes. They help alot.
They are such a space saver!
1. WEIGHT MATTERS TOO. Always double check with your airline. Some are 50 lb limit. Some are 40 lb limit... and then they will wh WACK you with a fee!!
**It's cheaper to take an extra bag than to be overweight. If you're trip required it. ( We have 4 kids)
** Also some airlines it's cheaper to check a bag then do a carry-on... I'm looking at you Spirit.
** Double check the dimensions of your free "personal item" before you fly. They make bags in the exact right dimensions depending on your flight. ( I fly a lot).
2. Wear your largest/ heaviest items onto the flight. She should have worn the tennis shoes and tied the sweatshirt around her waist to bring the weight down on the bag. Happy Travels.
Great tips! Thank you for contributing :)
I hope you actually went somewhere for all that work!
Lol nope! It was just for the video 😅
what size is the suitcase? Carryon on
Checked bag?
obviously don't fill it all the way if you plan on buying stuff at your location
Yes, most definitely! Gotta have room for those souvenirs;)
Don’t know how I’m gonna survive because I’ve got the same size suitcase and I have to pack for a month Another time I was packing for less then a week with again that size suitcase but it was packed to the brim
Hahaha you've got a challenge ahead of you for sure! When I went on a 2 month backpacking trip, I used just an Osprey backpack and I was able to fit clothes in it, but honestly kept wearing the same 5-6 outfits! So try to pack your favorite clothes only if possible :)
You are right lol I’m going to Panama City beach and going for 7 days lol I’m June u are a sidekick I we every year 2 times one with me and my brothers and mom and dad and then mom and dad alone by way I’m on my moms account and yes I’m looking this up we leave tomorrow night and I have been busy haven’t got a chance to pack
That's awesome! Have a great trip! 🤗
@@AllysonSpieler thank u
LOVE Panama City beach and Destin area! Have fun!!!!
Awesome packing
Thank you°
This is such good video. My issue is that I am 6ft5 with foot size 14-15 watching this and only my sneakers take like half of it, hoodie I can forget it's like backpack on it own
I too like to roll up my clothes AND secure in place with rubber bands. Furthermore, to maximize space and protect my clothes from any potential liquid spillage, I use air compression bags for my clothing. I also try to pack as light as possible to pack more. A large lightweight scarf comes in handy for your carry on in case it gets cool on the plane ride.
What size is your suitcase? I am trying to get my daughter to take a carry on for a weeklong trip to Florida next month.
I plan to go to Japan and I'm definitely gonna do this and leave the other half for the ton of souvenirs I'm gonna get
PERFECT idea!!
This is the best clothes packing video I’ve seen so far! Other videos show things outside of just clothes. Thank you!!!
Thats such a nice compliment! Glad you liked it! :)
filling a cube then squishing it down to fit more in is GENIUS. even though that first packing cube is fighting for its life ahaha
I'm a self-proclaimed scatterbrain, so I'll use a washable marker to write "tops/bottoms, etc"on the bottom (or non-mesh) side of the packing cube. With an overactive brain like mine, I will forget what's what and unzip every cube to find 1 item.
*Please give me a shout-out if you state this tip in another video. 😊
Thank you, amazing tips and you made it short and funny.
My new mission : find them pocket cubes in less than 48hours before my flight. 😅
Go to walmart! They have them in the travel section! Have fun on your trip! :)
@@AllysonSpieler Im afraid there are no walĺmart in Ireland. 😅
Thanks for your message. 🙏🏼🤍
Lol no there is not 🤣 darn, you'll have to order them online then!
Super, thank you for sharing, will try that next!!!!!
You are most welcome!
Thank you so much. It looks sorted very well. I think if you put the shoes in a bag would be better
