yes, I just watched Rick advertise his bags for almost 9 minutes π

Recently came back from a winter trip and only packed a carry on and a slim backpack for the essentials. Everyone kept asking where all my other stuff was, or why I looked so at ease on travel days - all thanks to Rick and his team! Packing light also saved me completely when the airports closed and cancelled flights - no wondering where my big check-in bag went!

I love Rick he is so nerdy

Best information clip Iβve seen. Straight to the point no wasted waffling on which drives me mad. I often think itβs more about the presenter than the product. Thank you.

i traveled with a classic rick steves green bag for 20 plus years, however on my last trip to Europe for 3 months by way of QM2 i bought a 29 inch spinner and a 17 inch leather attache. i now check the spinner everywhere even on short hops without issue. i find it actually easier as an older man and i don't rent cars. Venice the vaporetto, bring it on, Florence down the right hand steps and down the street why not, each for a month no problem and i can dress in a jacket and tie without looking like a schlep. now if i was on and off a train every few days or walking the Camino i'd go back to the carry pack but there just comes a time and the wheels on spinners are a lot tougher than they used to be.

I just returned from a two week trip to Texas and although I thought I packed lightly, I didn't. I have a large Ravenna backpack that I bought ages ago and it still holds up as well as the small Veloce Shoulder bag that I use as a purse. And third, I brought the convertible carry on. Not too bad, but I feel like I brought too much. I'm planning on buying a small version of the Ravenna backpack for school and on future trips, I may just use the large Ravenna backpack as my suitcase and leave the other bag at home or use it for car trips. SInce losing my husband, I have to travel by myself now and flying would be so much easier with less bags. But I highly recommend any of Rick Steves' bags. They are wonderful and last forever.

Rick Steve's should be hired as an adviser to the White House on foreign relations.

Love your videos and advise, Rick. As a US expat living in the UK, your tips helped me get started! A thank you!

Not sure about American planes but many carriers only allow 7.5 KG for economy passengers carry-on. I find I need around 10 - 13 kgs for a decent trip to the Mediterranean which has always meant I need Check-in luggage. There is also stuff they wont allow in carry-on. My personal favorite is a 50 Litre combo wheelie back-pack. You can mostly drag them but if needed they can be carried on your back for short distances easily.

Great video Rick - helpful ideas :)

After 2 trips to Italy I now agree with Rick on packing light. "There is no way I can have all that I need in one bag such as that." "Well, he is right about having just one bag." " If my bag was smaller I could carry it and not have to drag it over these cobblestone" For the third trip I have come to believe what Rick has been saying all along.
