If you want to travel light, this video is for you. I’m sharing how I packed my carry-on backpack for three months of travel in Europe. Minimalist packing takes planning, but the tips in this video will help.

Love the idea of a portable clothesline!
Thanks for the info and all of your videos. I am going to be traveling a lot through Europe this year and you have helped me feel a lot more prepared for it.
Thank you for sharing – great advice!
Great video, I also want to travel Europe next year and your channel helps me a lot in my prep !
Great video! Your videos are really helping me with planning my trip!
Hey Thanks for the video! I was wondering if I can chat with you as I have some questions about going around Europe!
Such a thoughtful,practical video. Great useful list, I too love wool undergarments/socks because they just don't get smelly. 😊
Great video!!
Yas! To only bringing your favorite clothing staples
Can you post the link to your toiletry bag. Been looking for a solid one for a while.
Thanks very helpful information.
During which season did you travel?
Where did you get the clothes line?
Please expand on your thoughts about which shoes to bring
Thank you! Doing my first solo trip and first Europe trip next month 🙏🏼
Pretty good list but I disagree about the jeans.
Jeans were made for cowboys and miners. They're hot in summer, a real pain to wash and get dry quickly and in some areas, I'm thinking parts of Spain and Italy, I've seen people refused admission to places when they've been wearing jeans or shorts.
Better to have some lighter weight, semi-smart pants – maybe lighter weight chinos? – or ones with zip-off legs.
Try and find things that have more than one use; a lightweight peshtemal towel can be used as a towel, scarf, sweat rag, sheet, pillow wrap, sarong for when you come out of the shower, picnic rug – you can even tie one up for an emergency shopping bag! They weigh about 300g for a 1.8 x 0.9m one.
Now I know how Pokémon trainers survive travelling around a region with only a backpack. Thanks for the tips.
Do most hostels provide towels/washcloths?
Liked and saved vid.

Can you send me the link of the travel clothes line?
If you're traveling in the winter, a puffy hoody is nice.
Thanks for the info! Very helpful!
How did you deal with keeping electronics dry while on the trail?
super helpful
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Great video, just what I’ve been looking for you. Thank you!
Life is easy living in one bag 😊
Your T-shirt destroyed it! All I see is white stripes…
I think bringing your iPad Mini is still a good idea. Let's say your phone gets stolen/lost.
Your iPad Mini can still get you out of trouble since the bank and email app are the same as in your phone. Just leave your tablet in your hotel/hostel as well as a debit card
