I hope you enjoy this video, I look forward to making more packing videos in the future. What kind of packing videos would you like to see?

Moving country and just traveling is a huge difference and I think it's very impressive that you could fit all your things into that suitcase! And even a cast iron pan!
I am currently moving country and let's open this by saying I am NOT a minimalist person but how you can fit all of your clothes in a single bag truly is impressive... half of my suitcase is electronics ahahah
I love that you promote responsible minimalism. Getting rid of things should serve a purpose just as bringing new things into your life should. Oh, and: Welcome back to Europe, Kay! Glad to have you back on this side of the planet :)
Thank you, I just kind of want to share an alternative option because while I love minimalism I also think sometimes it can be quite wasteful! It's good to be home 🙌🏼💛
WELL DONE! I've moved countries twice and within Hong Kong 3 times. How you did it with so much grace and organisation is salutable (I just made that word up hahaha). And THAT was definitely minimalist and practical because cast iron pans are not only an investment but you are also saving time not having to buy stuff again. Love it! =)
One suitcase is still amazing though. I recently moved to a new country with two and thought I’d done well 😂 I’m looking forward to following you and your journey back home x
When moving, especially country to country, it's necessary to take more than you would normally just travel with, there is nothing wrong with how you packed. I'm extremely impressed that all you had fit, and how beautifully organized everything was. I hope you had a good journey home, that your belongings made it safely, and your reunion with family and your furbabies was a wonderful one.
I’m honestly impressed that everything you own fits in that one large bag! I have so many books that would never work for me. But this is good inspiration for my journey for sure 😊
I love all of your videos. You have set a release in my life of the way I do stuff and I don’t feel as much pressure with a lot of stuff. I hope you continue with your videos now your home
So happy to hear that Connor! I bet you feel so liberated too 😊 I definitely will be, i'm hoping to be able to put more time + energy into my content once i'm home 🙌🏼
Right now I’m down to two suitcases, a storage box on wheels, and 3 shipping boxes worth of things. Im trying to get down to two suitcases and my backpack however. My ultimate goal is one suitcase but I also have houseware items that I don’t want to have to repurchase. So that makes things heavier.
Wow you're doing amazing! It's so hard to pack with less when you have housewear items as they're so bulky + I think it's so important to invest in things that last a lifetime and so that's the part where I think minimalism has to mould to our lifestyles rather than us moulding to it. You're doing amazing! 🙌🏼
Living the life you love thank you so much! I moved for grad school to a new state, far away from home with this amount. I’m hoping to continue to whittle down. I really really like it, bc it feels good to me. I’m finally starting to feel less attached to some of these material things and I tossed out a lot of clothes that had a less than positive memory, experience, & history to them. That helped me prepare for my move.
The iron pan is amazing haha - it is interesting to see how we value something else when it comes to packing. I packed my little printer into my suitcase so I can print photos where ever I can :)
Safe Travels Kay! I'm so excited for you that you'll be seeing loved ones (of the human and furry variety) for the first time in 18 months! Thanks for sharing your upgrade to a bigger suitcase. I appreciate you being real about it and highlighting that minimalism should be flexible and not rigid....ever evolving to meet changing needs :)
Thank you! was such a relief that it did fit + feels good to not waste/replace things 🙌🏼 also thank you lovely, soooo nearly home now. Excited for a long sleep 😴 💛💛
It's still amazing that you were able to pack it all in one large suitcase. I love that, it shows that you can be happy and productive even with so little material items.
I'm glad that you ended up packing some of the things you purchased here even f it was a little bit more weight, hope you have a safe flight home :) :)
I am actually really glad that you took everything with you. You had some really intentional purchases, nice things that will last forever. It made more sense to take them home than to leave them and have to repurchase them. Plus..I think that was pretty minimal considering that you packed everything that you have right now and it fit into one suitcase! It’s a good think you make jewelry on Etsy. It’s small and easy to pack. I also make jewelry but I also sell vintage home goods on Etsy and those are not at all easy to pack! I have actually taken over my sons large closet with huge Rubbermaid bins full of vintage goods! Hahahahaha! Oops. Anyway. I hope that you and Dom have a good, smooth, and are trip back to the UK.
Thank you + I totally agree! I think it's important to do what feels right rather than following a black and white path 🙌🏼 Also hahah I can imagine the room you said about, it's one of the reasons i'm excited to get home as i'd love to sell a larger variety of jewellery but desperately need more space! ✨
Being able to fit a frying pan and some boxes inside the suitcase and an extra bag I could say is minimalist because that is impressive. 😄 I'm planning to move to the uk once I graduate college and get at least 2 years of work experience in the field. I don't have experience going on a plane even a bit so I might try doing some small travels during those 2 years. Is it weird that I already have a list of things I want to pack in my not yet existing carry on and suitcase?😅 From watching multiple packing videos, I get to realize and remove things I don't actually need or want to bring anymore since they're not really that important to me though most of it are electronics and sentimental things. Also, what luggage size would you recommend if I want to bring most of my clothes and put them in my luggage? I'm planning to bring at most 5 pairs of clothes in my carry on as well.
Well done! I don’t think I could survive without my cast iron skillets. I now have four and a huge one with a handle for cooking outdoors for large family gatherings. You did very well. A girl needs her pan. 🥰
this is still amazing kay, organised and clear. haha the pan in the suitcase looks so funny! are you leaving your beautiful salt lamp as a gift to the new renter of the house? I hope you and dom are having a safe and comfortable trip back to the uk as we speak!
Can't believe that could travel home with that smaller bag. Very impressive. And I think it's perfectly fine that you upsized and can take more of your things home with you. I mostly still travel with a big suitcase as I still do like to get some souveniers/things I can't get here in Australia when I travel.
I LOVE that you're travelling with a cast iron pan omg hilarious hehehe. :') I feel it IS minimalist ISH, what you've done, because yeah now you don't have to repurchase. It just makes SENSE to bring this little bit with you and keep enjoying it
Hahaha thank you lovely 😂 I decided the same thing after debating with myself a lot but I think I made the right choice! Packing cubes are life changing 😍
Hmm I’m lost, I’ll have to go back and rewatch some videos. Are you going back to England? I thought when you originally packed you came with the two tohm bihn bags and a few other things as well? 🤔 I’m super confused 😅
I am back in England now 😊 I was on a working holiday visa in new zealand for the last year an a half but never intended to stay longer than that. I came with two tom bihn bags, I uploaded a video a few days after this one of me packing the other smaller one for taking on the plane with me. Hope that helps! 😊
This is def still minimalist! Im moving to another country in a month and trying to figure out the best way to pack, and what to pack. Do you think the packing cubes really help save space? I am thinking of getting a few.
Are you travelling overland? Just wondered at the toiletries being a toiletry bag rather than small sizes in a clear plastic one? Or is this bag also going in the hold?
Imagine you have to move and you call 1 luggage "a beast". Bruh I have like 7 beasts 😂😂 HOW DO YOU DO IT IN 1??! I don't mean to be rude, major props for being able to do it just with 1, I'm just shook lol
trust me, when you're backpacking for weeks, you'd prefer to have everything neatly organised and easy to grab and put away, rather than have the extra inches of space!
I was on a working holiday visa in NZ that only lasts 23 months but I could only work for 12 of them legally. We moved into the apartment for 5 months to work the winter season and left after living in NZ for a year and a half. Hope that helps it to make more sense! 🙂

Linnea I was literally thinking the exact same thing! I’m super impressed.
Hahah thank you 🙈😂 I was impressed with myself too the day I realised everything fit, definitely breathed a big sigh of relief, haha!
I am currently moving country and let's open this by saying I am NOT a minimalist person

Thank you lovely! Two suitcases is equally amazing, it's humbling trying to fit your life into such a small space isn't it 💛

I'm extremely impressed that all you had fit, and how beautifully organized everything was.

Absolutely, it's such a mission 😂 so happy you enjoyed the video + thanks for your kind words 😍 Was so nice to see my pets again!
I would call your packing minimal since everything you owns fits in that suitcase.
Happy you think so 🙂
I’m honestly impressed that everything you own fits in that one large bag! I have so many books that would never work for me. But this is good inspiration for my journey for sure 😊
Thank you so much, ohh yes books are a nightmare they take up so much space (and weight!) but are definitely work it 💛
I love all of your videos. You have set a release in my life of the way I do stuff and I don’t feel as much pressure with a lot of stuff. I hope you continue with your videos now your home
So happy to hear that Connor! I bet you feel so liberated too 😊 I definitely will be, i'm hoping to be able to put more time + energy into my content once i'm home 🙌🏼
Living the life you love I definitely do feel more liberated! I’m looking forward to the videos! Hope you have managed to beat the jet lag!
Home? With her parents, Don's parents or separated?
Linda Bay home as in home in the uk
@@connormackenzie3835 they have a flat or house there? How can they pay for 2 homes while in NZ? 🤔

It was so lovely seeing them all again! 🙌🏼 I'm so happy my message in this video resonated with you 💛
Wow, it's impressive you could fit everything in 1 suitcase. I'm wishlist you a safe way home and great time back with your family ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! was such a relief that it did fit + feels good to not waste/replace things 🙌🏼 also thank you lovely, soooo nearly home now. Excited for a long sleep 😴 💛💛
I pack more than that for holidays. Every time holiday time rolls around I vow once more to become a minimalist. It seems so much simpler.
I used to do the same, you'd laugh at how much I used to take on a 2 week holiday with me 😂💛
It's still amazing that you were able to pack it all in one large suitcase. I love that, it shows that you can be happy and productive even with so little material items.
Thank you lovely, you're so right things don't = happiness 🙌🏼
I'm glad that you ended up packing some of the things you purchased here even f it was a little bit more weight, hope you have a safe flight home :) :)

Border Guards: "Is there anything in this bag that could be classified as a weapon"
Do cast iron pans count as a weapon? xD
Absolutely, just remember it was the weapon of choice in the Disney movie Tangled 🤣😂😅
This made me laugh so much 😂😂💛
@@Livingthelifeyoulove oh I am so glad it did. Best wishes and may you prosper dear.😊
Koel Ray I came here to comment that!!

They're amazing aren't they! I'm in love with them 😂
I did the exact same thing 2 years ago when I moved back to London. Une big bag, I sold everything else! Felt good to start from zero!!!!
It sure does feel good!
I'm currently on marathon of your videos. So excited for you.
Yay! Hope you enjoyed it lovely, thanks for your support 💛
this is still amazing kay, organised and clear. haha the pan in the suitcase looks so funny! are you leaving your beautiful salt lamp as a gift to the new renter of the house? I hope you and dom are having a safe and comfortable trip back to the uk as we speak!
Thank you Maike 💛 I left my salt lamp to a friend and she was so happy about it so I know it's gone to a good home 🙌🏼
I appreciate your common sense 👍
Thank you 😊
Can't believe that could travel home with that smaller bag. Very impressive. And I think it's perfectly fine that you upsized and can take more of your things home with you. I mostly still travel with a big suitcase as I still do like to get some souveniers/things I can't get here in Australia when I travel.
Thank you Libby! 😀 Bigger suitcases are great because like you said you can bring extra things home with you, i'm a sucker for sarongs 😂
Kay have you ever done a video on the Earth Runners? I think grounding is so important, thinking of getting a pair!
Wow. It's so strange you're moving back. It started to feel like home. But all the best for new adventures back home.
I agree it's so weird that we settled down but had to leave again due to the visas. Excited to set myself up again in England 🙂
Hey Kay.Thanks for sharing. Hope you have/had a safe journey home.It's a bit wet and getting chilly at night here in the UK. Stay safe. xx
Thank you Wendy, i'm home safely 💛✨
Where did you get the large suitcase from?? I love it!
Your packing videos are always my favorite! Thank you for the upload! 😁👍❤
Yay! My pleasure 💛
Authentic! Who cares if u bring pan or plates, the fact that u can put your life in 1 suitcase, that is impressive!
I LOVE that you're travelling with a cast iron pan omg hilarious hehehe. :')
I feel it IS minimalist ISH, what you've done, because yeah now you don't have to repurchase. It just makes SENSE to bring this little bit with you and keep enjoying it

I didn't know you were moving back! Good luck with the transition
Thank you lovely 💛
This is def still minimalist! Im moving to another country in a month and trying to figure out the best way to pack, and what to pack. Do you think the packing cubes really help save space? I am thinking of getting a few.
So excited for you on your journey! ❤️
Thank youuuu ✨
Are you not bringing all your items on your bookcase? Your salt lamp and so on....... ❤️
I left the salt lamp to a friend as I already have one at home + i'm bringing the diffuser and box with etsy things inside 😊💛
I love that you were able to fit the castiron even! You go girl! Enjoy your time with your family and your pets 💚
Haha thank you lovely, I was impressed it all fit 😂💛
Kay,you inspire so much!
Ahh thank you 😍💛
THANK YOU for this video!!
I hope you have a nice and nice trip ^^
Hi thank you for your helpful video, may I know the size of suitcase you use?
Hi Kay thank you for sharing and you get to take your iron skillet home with you.
Thanks Cathy! Was happy I was able to bring it home with me 😍
Safe journey home.....I won’t mention the B word!!....😂❤️🇬🇧
Thank you lovely! 🙌🏼😊
So why are you moving? Is it permanent?
Yep it's permanent 🙂 I was on a working holiday visa in NZ and only ever intended to stay for a year and a half
amazing! I've made a similar video - but everything in a cabin suitcase!! :)
Are you travelling overland? Just wondered at the toiletries being a toiletry bag rather than small sizes in a clear plastic one? Or is this bag also going in the hold?
Aha! Just seen that the Tom Binn bag was going inside the suitcase. That makes sense :) Bon Voyage!
Haha yep it all went in the hold 🙂
Where did you get that big suitcase
Where did you get the suitcase from?
How many kilo are yhe suitcase with all inside? Max weight is normaly 23 kilo right?
Smart!!! I love it!!!
Thank you! 🙂
Can I ask where you got your packing cubes from please. X
Of course, they're from Tom Bihn www.tombihn.com/?ref=5a69c3c3edd8c x
The cast iron pan killed me. 😂🍳
LOL coudn't be leaving it behind could I! 🙈😂
How big is your Tom Bihn bag?
How big is this suitcase
Imagine you have to move and you call 1 luggage "a beast". Bruh I have like 7 beasts 😂😂 HOW DO YOU DO IT IN 1??! I don't mean to be rude, major props for being able to do it just with 1, I'm just shook lol
What about your Synapse 25?
I will be travelling with it carry on as a day bag for my laptop etc 😊
Okay, good! I was worried that you had gotten rid of it! My husband I have both the Synapse 19 and 25 we share them :)
Nooo it's a lifer that's for sure, such a good bag! 🙌🏼 so happy you both have + love them too
Haha i love ur cast iron pan
Hahahah me too 🙈😂
Did you guys break up?
Nope we didn't 🙂
Is this 23kg 😳
Packing cubes are a lie. You need extra space for the cube itself then.
trust me, when you're backpacking for weeks, you'd prefer to have everything neatly organised and easy to grab and put away, rather than have the extra inches of space!
I am living from a suitcase. I have everything in its place without cubes.
Wait ?!! Moving country ? I can’t keep up. Didn’t she just get an apartment again ? I thought that was long term.
I was on a working holiday visa in NZ that only lasts 23 months but I could only work for 12 of them legally. We moved into the apartment for 5 months to work the winter season and left after living in NZ for a year and a half. Hope that helps it to make more sense! 🙂
