THE ONLY PACKING METHOD YOU'LL EVER NEED ✅ (free checklist download)

PART 2: https://youtu.be/EFtAe9EfApw?si=o4Qv66gSW6Em6vAg

What an interesting approach to packing! I have tried various methods for packing over the decades I've been travelling, including the 54321, the 333, and the packing list method. Here's my tip. I always pack a t-shirt dress, change of underwear and a pair of flip flops in my personal item, in case my suitcase gets lost or in case my flight is delayed overnight. I can use the dress as a nightie, a casual dress or a swim suit coverup. I can change into the dress when I reach my destination if I feel grubby from travelling or if I spill something on my travel clothes. I can wear the flip flops by the pool, at the beach or in a hotel room. One other item I pack in my personal item is a large scarf or pashmina, which I can wear as a scarf, as a shawl, as a pareo, or use as a blanket on the plane. I've been using separate zip lock bags to contain the clothing, shoes, and pashmina (the latter folds down so that it fits in a sandwich bag). And I always throw a plastic bag into my suitcase for laundry, to keep the dirty clothes separated from the clean one. I hope someone finds my tip useful in their travels.

What a lot of clothes changes every day. One week away in Europe a couple of weeks ago- 2 trousers, 1 skirt, 1 dress, 1 cardigan, 2 jackets, raincoat, 6 tops, 1 trainers, 2 sandals, cross body bag and tote. These took me from cool to hot, casual to smart, dry to wet, and includes what I wore.

I recently returned from a 3 week summer European trip, visiting 3 countries. I packed pajamas, 2 trousers (denim & beige), 3 colorful blouses, 3 t-shirts (white, black & green), 1 linen long sleeve shirt, 1 pair of black shorts, 1 pair black leggings, 1 black hoodie, 2 bras black & beige, 1 sports bra, 6 underwear, 6 socks, 4 silk scarves, 1 bathing suit, 1 necklace, 1 bracelet, 1 pair tennis shoes, 1 pair sandals. I was able to wash my clothes twice at 2 of the Airbnb’s we rented. I packed it all in a 20 inch suitcase and saved room for destination purchases. I purposefully packed lighter than usual because I carried on my luggage and walked to every hotel from the train. I also wore a 10 L backpack & a crossbody bag for plane & train rides.

I love this 3 day method! The everyday wardrobe especially! I have a formula I use - no new clothes or shoes (they might prove to be troublesome in some way); versatile, packable, comfortable clothes only, (especially shoes - even for dressing up); mix and match as much as possible; add scarves for color and interest; bring a small umbrella and possibly a jacket or coat. I use any days we move to other cities to start the rotation over. Just remember - chances are no one really cares about your clothes as long as they conform to dress expectations for the event. Enjoy!

"You know it's ambiguous Europe. You want to look cute" 😂 I love your videos. !!

I like this 3-day idea. Light colors for the travel day, that's brave. I prefer lighter-weight items and a more minimalist approach. Fewer shoes, fewer purses, no leather, no jeans. Fantasy self or what if items are creating more bulk.

I love watching these kind of videos! And I absolutely respect that this method works for her, (and a lot of other folks!), but I’ve never packed so many shoes/bags/jackets/accessories. I’ve done 2+weeks in Europe before and I would never bring more than 1 jacket, 1 purse etc. I certainly wouldn’t bring so many similar white shirts. I mean, more power to her! I just don’t quite understand how this is minimal.

I pack like this too! “Ok what am I doing this day? I need this and this and this. Ok the next day? This and this - but I can rewear that from day 1, so I just need this”, etc. it makes packing SO much easier.

I’ve been obsessed with trying to find the best way to come up with a capsule wardrobe for carry on only for a six week trip this fall to France. Love this philosophy! Because of the length of me stay, i may add in one day, but it will depend on space. Thank you! Looking forward to part 2!

She's assuming most people will be stacking their items on the bed, but that wardrobe rack is a GAME CHANGER if you have a place to store it. That way you can start planning ahead of time without things being in the way. You can see if your pieces are going to work together for mix and match. Highly recommend.

Loved this video! I am a list maker. So I have a packing and trip todo list that I edit for each new trip. I start making edits weeks out, whenever I think of anything specific this new trip will need packed or done. I list out my clothing pieces I expect to pack, some by name some are socks x7. Then when it's time to pack I just have to go off the list, and it really reduces decision fatigue for me. I might put back a few things if I over did it, but for shorter trips/places we've been before I can usually nail it in the list making phase. It's an art!

Great strategy. I always pack a laundry kit for one loa: a color catcher sheet, laundry soap, dryer sheet; I put it in a little laundry garment sack then seal it up in a Ziploc. Perfect to do a mid-trip load and saves me the hassle of finding the supplies at an unfamiliar destination

Wow, so many clothes! We are world travelers, on a budget (60+ countries) and I carry one tiny backpack. Period. One pair of shorts, one pair of pants (NEVER jeans as they take way too long to dry), three shirts, three pair of underwear, one pair of shoes that I wear. Also a light weight jacket. To dress up, two pairs of earrings and eyeliner and mascara. Everything else you might need, buy it there. Packing minimally brings me much peace as a traveler.

As an avid traveler - this method is brilliant! Can't wait to see how it gets packed!

This method is perfect for me!! Thank you! I love wearing dresses and jumpsuits and all of the other methods make me feel like I will forget the right slip/slip shorts/underwear/bra/socks/etc. I will probably pack for 1 additional “every day” outfit. I love the idea of packing for everything you want for 3 days and then just re-wearing the outfits and doing laundry when needed. Thank you! 😃💙

Looks like a good way to not forget something important.

My take away from your video was pack for these “days” for whatever trip I’m taking and I will avoid over packing overall. I always pack in a carryon or weekender and tend to be minimalist but still wind up with things I don’t need. With road trips every 3 months for a year for healthcare needs, I will try this approach to help alleviate packing stress. Ain’t nobody got time for packing stress 😂 Thanks!

That's alot of clothes changes. Something to add - wash dirty clothes whilst showering, wring excess water using a towel - dries overnight. For women - wearing panty liners saves your clothes.

I've been carry-on only for all my trips and look forward to utilizing this new-to-me approach when planning our first ever international trip. The only time our packing failed was 3 years ago when visiting the PNW for a month because a heat dome started after we arrived and we were totally not prepared. We had to buy new, lighter clothes and mail, yes mail, our heavier items home. Never did we see that one coming when checking the weather for weeks before we left. That was such a one-off and many memories were made and that trip to WA and OR is still our favorite vacation.
