    In today's video I'm sharing how I pack for 2 weeks in a carry-on bag only. I'm travelling to London and Copenhagen in the middle of February, so layering and laundry is going to be key! I always pack the same way, no matter if I'm travelling for 1 week or 1 month.

    I like the 5-4-3-2-1 method, but I lean toward 7/3/2. Seven tops, three bottoms, two shoes/layering pieces. Twenty-one outfits before you even add in the layering pieces. This carries me for a three week trip, and more. I just plan for laundry while I travel. Shoes are the hardest part for me.
    Also, I cheat. I don't count the outfit I travel in. Naughty, I know. Plus, I'm always cold on the plane so I wear many layers.
    I hope you have a great time. Both London and Copenhagen are fabulous cities.

      I'm also a fan of more tops and fewer bottoms. Four pairs of dark coloured pants are going to feel very similar to each other and with only a small selection of tops, I'm going to feel like I'm wearing the same thing every day. A greater number of tops with fewer bottoms feels like more variety to me. Same goes for layering pieces. If it's cold and you've only got two, then you're essentially choosing from one of two outfits every day of your trip.

      For winter travel to Europe for 2 weeks, I wore my boots on the plane and packed one pair of comfortable black shoes that go with anything. I never pack more than 1 pair of shoes. People go overboard with footwear. I also found that wearing one heavy sweater over the lighter one on the plane was a real packing space saver.

    Just a tip,never put your passport in your carry on suitcase. If you gate check it and forget things could get interesting upon arrival in another country. There’s also recently been an increase in, in flight thefts. Valuables should be kept in your personal item as thefts happen while you’re sleeping and opportunists can take your bag if you put it in the overhead bin away from your actual seat, which happens a lot more often than you think. Love your packing tips for different climates and vibes,safe travels😊

    I really love your method of packing, and I use the exact same folding methods for my clothes. However, I never pack more than 2-3 pairs of pants, even for a whole month abroad. I guess I just don't rotate that much between them when I'm away. And I don't pack that many socks & undies, I usually pack 4-5 pieces/pairs and a multipurpose, liquid travel detergent and wash them myself by hand so I can reuse them, because no matter where I'm staying or for how many nights, there's always a sink & water, and a pair of undies or socks always dries in time. :)

    I understand why ppl love and try to do "carry on only travel". I sometimes do that, too, if it's a business-related trip, and/or already visited the destination several times, or if I know the destination well, like REALLY well (and can communicate with locals without any problems).
    That means, if the travel doesn't fit these categories, I usually bring my check-in suitcase.
    I DO have two rules:
    1. I pack some snacks (cuz you never know) & underwear for two nights along with the essentials in a carry-on.
    2. I don't pack more than I can carry by myself.
    Also, when I worked as a tour guide, I avoided bringing Jeans, because jeans are casual (not versatile) and heavy (it took ages to dry them).

    Years ago I went to London for six days and then a month in Egypt. This was in February. Obviously, the weather would be quite different. I found this thin, yet effective, long underwear with a matching t-shirt., and added a cardigan. These items allowed me to bring a lighter wardrobe and jacket. There was a colder day in Cairo, so it worked out.

    I just returned from 7 days in London, carryon only. I packed 3 pairs of jeans and 6 sweaters no problem. However, departing Heathrow for the US: you cannot use the TSA liquids bag you use. I use the same one from Amazon . Everything must go in a quart ziplock which they hand out at the airport if you don’t have one. And there are tables you can change your stuff to the ziplock bag - and a lot of people have to do it. Just good to be aware ahead of time.

    I've found that a secret zipper infinity scarf is perfect for passport, money, etc. You never leave those things in a place where they can be stolen. Shampoo and conditioner bars saves liquids space. As far as all the socks and underwear go, most places have laundry service. There's also the sink.Cuts down on taking too much.

I wanted to just have a carry-on, but I was worried if I'd be able to do it because, like you, I'll also need to bring warmer layers and maybe account for the rain. Seeing you pack for your 10-day trip in just a carry-on gives me reassurance that I can pack for my 8-day trip :') your suitcase seems to fit so much though. I have packing cubes, but my suitcase always seems to run out of room so easily...

I’m surprised of how few pieces you need for this trip! As it’s almost impossible to be carry-on only when I travel to cold places.

Nappies must fit too :-p

    Tip: grab a tsa 1 L bag for liquids. I travelled all over Europe packed in a clear bag like you did but when I came back to North America they insisted liquids be in their bag. To my annoyance they didn’t quite fit and I had to dispose of some items. Also make sure your personal item fits under the seat. I bought a Beis 20” carryon and weekender bag and some airlines were sticky (Westjet) and made me check one item. As most people are travelling with carryons now space is at a premium and I think more airlines will be stickier on size and details. Hope this helps someone avoid these hassles and disappointments on their journey.

    Nicely done! I'm finishing a 10 day trip in Costa rica with carry on only. Biggest challenge is always the liquids quart bag in the UK. Many of your liquid/cream makeup products should go in that bag and the UK often doesn't allow that amazon bag, only a quart size bag! 😞

    This was such a helpful video. I am traveling to NYC for 10 days, but six days will be taking care of my grandkids during the day. I will need to pack my "grandma clothes." I will also be going to Great Britain for the first time in the fall and will look forward to using the 5-4-3-2-1 method of packing. I also love the packing cubes.

    If you're working out, where are the workout outfits? Unless you're working out in jeans and t-shirts? And are you packing your mascara and lip gloss in your makeup bag and not your liquids bag? That's a bold move for the UK. They are usually the most strict with liquids. If it's going to be rainy, would you carry and umbrella? Or is the wool coat enough for you to get by? So many questions...

    This is random but thanks for mentioning that the cabin bags are sometimes gate checked on smaller flights! I know its annoying but i used to work at the departure gates for an airline and the amount of arguments we would have over people refusing to do it was crazy and it would delay the flights all the time due to lack of space in the cabin 😅 it can cause danger to the cabin crew and other passengers on the flight if there are too many of these cases in the overhead too... like you said on larger planes its absoutely fine but smaller planes cannot handle everyone carrying one

    This is my favourite video from you to watch! This and anything you make that falls in the realm of ‘de-influencing’ as people have been dubbing it. I am naturally an overpacker, and I really want to become a carry-on gal only from now on for practicality (the amount of videos of lost luggages these days play a part too haha).
    But since I fly budget a lot, I’m curious - have you ever weighed your suitcase? Budget can sometimes be quite strict with the weight limit. Depending on where I’m going, that means I’m allowed 7kg - suitcases are often 3kg these days, my laptop is about 2kg, and that leaves me with only 2kg for personal stuff which as minimalist as I get, is just not enough unless I don’t take toiletries at all and buy them there (but then have to either give away or throw out what I don’t use - which is a bit wasteful). Working towards not having to fly budget as often this year though ✌🏼
    Anyway sorry for a bit of a rant, but just wanted to know how much your suitcase usually weighs if you know 😊
