This video was super helpful and one of the best videos I've come across to what I think I would also pack. I'm hoping to go on my first backpacking trip next year! I also watched your other video. I'm also 22 years old (from Canada) and I just finished university and am going to start a full time job as a nurse and hope to take time off next year to backpack (I think I would go solo as well - but I'm really nervous). Excited to see more videos of your experience :)
I don’t think I’ll be doing a full video on it but overall I’m really happy with my packing! Some of the clothing items were swapped out throughout the trip and I eventually got rid of my snorkel and flip flops as well (as I was ending my trip in countries where they wouldn’t come to use)
They were both allowed with the planes I took. I had my 40L backpack as my carry on in the overhead compartment and the smaller backpack as my personal item under the seat in front of me 😊
I’m glad you liked the video! 🥰 I feel like I did really well with my packing and there wasn’t anything in particular that I wish I’d packed. The silk liner was probably my only real regret for this trip since I only ended up using it a handful of times. For the last 1,5 months of my trip I ended up getting rid of some things, such as my snorkel, flip flops and rain jacket, since I was going to places where I wouldn’t be needing those things anymore. I also switched out a few of the clothing items along the way, when I found other things that I was more excited about buying, wearing and bringing with me 😊
Here in Sweden we have a lot of different photo booths and shops where you can get that done. I think I payed around $30 for 5-6 copies but I will say, I didn’t end up using a single one of them… 😂 I think it really depends on what countries you’re going to and what the visa process is like there.
Loved your video!! I’m backpacking with the same backpack as you, osprey 40 l, a bum bag and a smaller day bag. Basically brought the exact same things as you too! I’m sure you’ll have a great trip 😁 I’ve been backpacking now for 9 months continuously and this setup worked great for me in Asia and Australia as well!
That’s awesome! I’m currently back from my 7month trip (decided to edit and upload everything afterwards) and I feel like the setup worked great for my trip as well 👌🏽 I hope you’re having a good time backpacking, I’m dying to get back out there again 🥰
@@Neda_lindberg Ahh smart, I’m editing as I go because I know I will be too lazy to do it afterwards, and I’ll just have too much footage 😅 awesome though, glad to hear you had a great experience. I feel once you get hooked it’s kinda hard to imagine living a normal life again! Hope there’s more traveling in your future soon 😁
@@westcoastwildchild92 Completely understand that! My pile of footage is pretty big right now 😂 there will definitely be more traveling in the future 🥳
No, it allowed one carry on bag and one personal item. I believe they didn’t really count the bumbag as a personal item since it was quite small and on me at all times. The airlines I went with also didn’t seem super strict, as they never even weighed my bags.
Yay! Would definitely recommend it! 😍 I decided on not bringing my laptop and just piled all the footage for future me to deal with 😂 I did this trip from the end of 2022 to the middle of 2023 and I’m editing and releasing all of these videos now that I’m back from the trip 😊
Thank you for this video! I just bought 3 of these for our fam of 5 for SE Asia. 👌our younger two will carry 20L bags. Did you have any probs using the 40L as carry-on on cheaper airlines (like Air asia)?
The osprey backpack ended up weighing 10kg, which is a bit more than what is usually allowed for carry on luggage. I unfortunately don’t remember how much the smaller backpack weighed, but I never ran into any issues with any of it. The bag looks very compact and fit nicely into all the overhead compartments of the flights I took. I wore it with confidence and without seeming bothered about the weight of it, and I also did all of my check ins online which meant I could just go straight to the boarding gates at the airport without having to stop by the check in stations where they usually would weigh the luggage 😊
Can someone please tell me what song is playing in the background at around 10-11 minutes in?? Btw so fun so see another swedish person! Good luck on your trip
The song is called “Dance for you” and the artist is “Revel day” I’m currently editing and uploading all the videos from my trip as it’s officially over, so if you’re interested in seeing how it all went there’s already quite a few videos out on my channel 🙌🏽 Spoiler alert; the trip was incredible! 🤩
I'm preparing for a backpacking trip, so it was really useful! Did you take the plane in-between the south east asian coutries? Was the weight of your bags an issue, did yo have to check them in, or it was ok as carry ons?
That’s so exciting! I’m glad the video helped 😊 I did take a few flights between some of the countries but never had any issues with my bags. I brought them as carry on only and always did my check-in online. Luckily I was never asked to weigh the bags 😂👌🏽
Hahah looks like we’re all sort of in the same boat before any big trip 😂 I’m sure you’ll do great! Good luck with your solo adventures and safe travels
Usually not, but my 40L backpack was my carry on that I put in the overhead compartment and my smaller backpack counted as my personal item that I put under the seat in front of me. This also depends on the airline though; sometimes you’re not allowed to bring a personal item and in that case I would only have been allowed ONE bag on the plane
I intend to wear my coat (the down jacket that I shoved into the small drawstring bag) during my travel day, so that’s why I never put it into the bag, but when I wasn’t wearing it I just attached the drawstring bag to one of the carabiners on the outside of my backpack 😊 The dry bag is 10L and I feel like that was the perfect size! Regarding the international DL; since my regular DL is in Swedish it’s not valid in every country, and especially not once you start traveling outside of Europe. The international DL (that you have to get from a certain place) is basically just an English translation of my Swedish DL, that I have to keep with me and be able to present in addition to my regular Swedish DL, for it to be valid in certain countries. Hope that explanation made sense 😂😊
@@Neda_lindberg Yes,it Did,Thank You!! Glad to Know How small Your dry bag is!! I Have a 20L in My “cart” & Now Know that Won’t fit in My Backpack! Thank You!! I Should Have figured You Were Going to dangle Your coat bag,from a carabiner ring! Good to Know about the International DL! Curious Where one Would Have to Apply?
@@dawncrossland3028 well, I think it depends on what country you’re from…I think the easiest thing is to just google “international drivers license” and your country and I’m sure you’ll find more information about it! 😊 I just had to fill in some information about what countries I was going to, insert a photo of my license and and pay a small fee and then I got it sent home within a couple of weeks 👌🏽
What is your budget for 7 months backpacking? Heading to South East Asia soon myself, with NO plan for how long or where to go other then Bali as my first destination😅
I spent roughly 14.000 euros but did also go to some of the “more expensive countries” such as Australia, Japan and South Korea. It’s hard to give a good suggestion on a budget since it all obviously depends on the destination and personal style of travel. I will however be doing a full video on this later on with a complete breakdown of how much I spent in each country and what the money went towards (accommodation, transportation, and so on). Good luck with your trip. I’m sure you’re gonna have a blast! 🥳
@@Neda_lindberg Thank you! Did you check in your backpack or did it pass as a carry-on? I have been looking at the same as you have (and a few others) as I’m only bringing carry-on
Hope you do a follow-up video of what you should've left out or added to your backpack
Not exactly, but there will be a bit of purging and purchasing throughout the rest of the videos
@Neda_lindberg Cool, looking forward to seeing the changes you make!

Thank you so so much! That’s so exciting for you! Nerve wracking for sure, but for me it was definitely the best decision I’ve ever made
Im going in 7 days I am so excited !!! Thanks for your video it was so helpful
@@toutchevlogs That’s so excitiiiing! Where are you going?
Wow, I think you’ve done a great job with planning. I like your electronic systems. I too would be interested in a post trip follow up. Safe travels!
I don’t think I’ll be doing a full video on it but overall I’m really happy with my packing! Some of the clothing items were swapped out throughout the trip and I eventually got rid of my snorkel and flip flops as well (as I was ending my trip in countries where they wouldn’t come to use)
Really enjoyed watching this! I felt the excitement when you were vlogging in the mirror with you finished backpack!! Hope you had the best time 💕
Aww thank you! The trip was absolutely incredible and more than I could have ever dreamed of 😍
did you have to check in one of your bags or were they both aloud in the cabin?
They were both allowed with the planes I took. I had my 40L backpack as my carry on in the overhead compartment and the smaller backpack as my personal item under the seat in front of me 😊
This was such a good video, thank you!
I’m glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and for the kind comment 😊
Great video, thanks for sharing and I hope you have a really good time away.
Thank you! 😊
Where can you buy the cases for the solid soaps? They are so amazing 😍😍
They sure are! 😍 I put a link for them in the description on the video
This was so helpful thank you, can we get an update of what u regret or wish u packed
I’m glad you liked the video! 🥰

🙏🏼 how did you get extra copies of your passport photo?? In the US, the post office wanted $15 for 2 copies 🤨 I want a lot of copies 😅
Here in Sweden we have a lot of different photo booths and shops where you can get that done. I think I payed around $30 for 5-6 copies but I will say, I didn’t end up using a single one of them… 😂 I think it really depends on what countries you’re going to and what the visa process is like there.
your packing skills are A1 this is so good!

@@Neda_lindberg sounds great 😁 btw where in Sweden are you from? I’m Swedish too!
@@westcoastwildchild92 no wayy! I’m from Skåne, what about you?
Your ticket allows your back pack plus two personal items? Normally the airlines allows only one in flights. Have a good trip!
No, it allowed one carry on bag and one personal item. I believe they didn’t really count the bumbag as a personal item since it was quite small and on me at all times. The airlines I went with also didn’t seem super strict, as they never even weighed my bags.
Usually if you choose a ticket with only a carry on, you have to pay for your aditional personal item. Latam, Iberia and others.
@@ivettepagador7126 Well, luckily I never ran into any issues with that 👍🏼
Great video as I'm hoping to travel for a year with carry on only. How did you edit videos whilst travelling - did you take a laptop?
Yay! Would definitely recommend it! 😍 I decided on not bringing my laptop and just piled all the footage for future me to deal with 😂 I did this trip from the end of 2022 to the middle of 2023 and I’m editing and releasing all of these videos now that I’m back from the trip 😊
@@Neda_lindberg awesome thanks!
Thank You So much For Sharing Have A Beautiful Safe Trip And God Bless You. Kerp Safe❤❤❤❤
I’m editing and posting all of this afterwards, so the trip is already over and it was incredible 🥰 thank you for your kind words
FINALLY TWO BIG BAGS
Thank you for this video! I just bought 3 of these for our fam of 5 for SE Asia. 👌our younger two will carry 20L bags. Did you have any probs using the 40L as carry-on on cheaper airlines (like Air asia)?
Just saw you reply, glad it has worked as carry on. Such a helpful video! Have a great time!! 😎
Yes, it worked out perfectly! Thank you for the kind words. Hope you have a lovely trip
Good reviews ❤ I have a question. Without bumbag, how many kilograms of your luggage? Did airplane agents checked it?
The osprey backpack ended up weighing 10kg, which is a bit more than what is usually allowed for carry on luggage. I unfortunately don’t remember how much the smaller backpack weighed, but I never ran into any issues with any of it. The bag looks very compact and fit nicely into all the overhead compartments of the flights I took.

Can you bring 2 carry-on bags on the plane?
Usually not, but my 40L backpack was my carry on that I put in the overhead compartment and my smaller backpack counted as my personal item that I put under the seat in front of me.

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Great vid. What was in that orange dinosaur case?
Thank you! The orange thing with dinosaurs on it is a hairbrush
Good Video
Did You Forget Your Coat?
Also,What Size is Your Dry Bag,Please?
Also,Never heard of an International DL!? Elaborate,Please!
