I like packing cubes. They give me a sense of organization !

Also , with a carry on suitcase and a backpack one can get by for multiple days. A friend of mine travels for 2 to 3 weeks like this. Usually you can wash your clothes in the bathroom sink and let them dry overnight . Make sure to bring clothes that dry quickly.

The belt tucking tip is good!

Great tips. I have the same suitcase and love using it. It holds more than I thought it would.

Big fan. No nonsense, thrifty but chic. I may use ziplock instead of packing cubes for now, no time.

Weight and size limits are going to be the biggest hurdle though, especially if you travel overseas as many airlines limit you to about 25-26 lbs total (and this includes the weight of your bag, which could be 5-6 lbs empty). Of course if you're flying on airlines like Delta who have a generous 50 lb carry-on limit, and don't seem to check bag sizes as long as it fits in the overhead bin, I've taken 7-8 days worth of clothes (partially by reusing pants for 2 days each though, so only packing 4 pairs). But airlines are cracking down on the weight restrictions and size limitations it seems, as a means to get more people to pay for checked bags. In fact most airlines (other than Frontier and Spirit) don't seem to care how much your carry-on weighs as long as it fits in the bin (never had issues with Southwest, Delta, or United at least, but again, these were only domestic flights--international is different). For liquids, I generally try to buy what I need at my destination if I can (I know it means spending some money but visiting say a WalMart or Traget at your destination can be helpful). I generally only bring the liquids I can't get at my destination, or from a hotel. So being a male, I don't need too much personally and almost sometimes just travel with an electric razor, some shaving creme (in a travel container that's very small), toothbrusth & toothpaste and maybe a small travel size of mouthwash (although I can usually buy this where I'm going, but this is for emergencies mainly).

Such good inspo, Aly! Keep it comin’. xo

Just ordered the soundcore through your link. Thanks for suggesting this Aly. YYC fan of your channel.

Great tips. Thanks 🙌🏽

I have the same Soundcore in purple. Looking at the tomtoc bags; I wonder if they have a personal item size backpack….

Can't wait for the trip videos! I noticed you included a clip from Ashbury Street. What bag did Chris bring?

Hello, I'm here to take a look. It's beautiful.
