    This video is a follow up to my previous packing video (which has over 1 Million views now! https://youtu.be/tgjB6BmxM5g?si=xpNGzE7821l9PH1v ) where everyone asked about a more lightweight solution! I hope it helps! Here is everything I used in the video: 👇 Stuffable neck pillow: amzn.to/3Vo0wex Backpack (amazon US): amzn.to/43rLzKn Backpack (amazon CA): amzn.to/3TwBIyC Packing cubes (multi size): amzn.to/4ciSBFo Packing cube (slim): amzn.to/3Tn8rWP Belt bag: amzn.to/48ZwL6U Toiletry bag: amzn.to/4ajvQiU Foot hammock: amzn.to/43mYEod Monos Roller bag: bit.ly/3Vkcy8M Weekender bag: amzn.to/43oMRWD See everything together in my Amazon storefront: amzn.to/3Vou1wJ Here's all my outfit pieces: amzn.to/3THoOid Access my free travel toolkit: (where I list all my travel resources & hacks): likewhereyouregoing.com/ultimate-travel-resources-…

    Literally just screamed when the Husband came in, LOL!!! Was NOT expecting that. LMAOOO!!!!! Loved the tip on the neck pillow thing.
  • As a business traveler (2-3 weeks at a time, suits etc). I really appreciate you suggesting under the seat for this kind of traveler. I always check in my suitcase and a small rucksack for laptop etc. if everyone travelled like you or like I do. There would be no fight for the overhead storage.
  • @fredsands9220
    This is brilliant, and the most useful travel video I've ever seen. You solved the carry on crisis. The spot under the seat goes with the ticket so there's no competition for anything. And in fact I'm going on a two week trip next month, and had planned to do it with just a backpack or my small duffle.
  • @happycook6737
    I save my oldest underwear (has holes), socks, bras, and clothes. When I travel I wear them and throw them out. This leaves space for "treasues" on my return home trip. I also leave my toiletries before going home.
  • @AnneMB955
    Very impressed. You’re the first travel YouTuber who has packed a small underseat bag. Am very impressed. For Poland soon I’m just taking an underseat bag. Much easier to lug from airport to Airbnb to train etc. 👏👏
  • @dfox9914
    ok mind blowing. I'm practicing on a few shorter trips for a longer trip to italy in May. Absolutely amazing and thank you!
  • Thanks, Aly! You & your husband are adorable! ❤ I continue to challenge myself to pack carry-on only, now my second time completed. I used that neck pillow sleeve, on the way there, packing a L'Hamman Turkish towel & three pairs of 32° Cool Footie socks...on the way back, my Lunar Pooch windbreaker. A tip I used for the first time & maybe helpful to others: I packed both of mine, an ultra-absorbant hair towel (Aquis brand & other brand). They weigh next to nothing & take up so little space! Not only great to speed dry washed hair, also to absorb more water out of freshly handwashed items which means faster airdrying & rewearing. All equaling packing less without sacrificing style. I refuse to do that! 😁✈️🧳❤️💯 SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL!
  • @iralell
    Thank you SO MUCH for letting us know about that foot rest!!! Instant purchase. Back pain, be gone! 😅
  • @DaveK0526
    Thank you- this looks amazing! In my senior years I have struggles to lift my rolling suitcase on to the storage bins- this looks like just the ticket!
  • @Kathy-kr1sv
    Really doesn't matter how long you go for. One weeks clothes are enough and... use the laundry. Like you do that home 😊. Thank You for showing us the neck pillow 👋👋
  • @leahcarh
    The neck pillow idea is amazing! I'm going to try it on my next trip. Thank you!
  • @DyanEsoap
    Such a great idea with the neck pillow!
  • It was great that you showed a try-on of your outfits as well. Very helpful video
  • @carlaseier9735
    I really appreciated this video. I've watched a lot of different ones gleaning any tips I can. We travel for 2-3 months at a time so laundry is a non-negotiable and no big deal. Also, having so many outfits is nice but unnecessary, imo. I guess it depends on what kind of trip. If you keep moving who are the multiple outfits for? Nobody but you and your husband (and probably not him, actually) will know how many times you've worn the same thing. ☺️ Finally, you didn't include cables, adapters or anything to do with your tech. These are just my opinions as an early retired female, travelling as much as possible in this stage of life with husband who has helped me realize, nobody knows what I've worn 3 days ago.😊
  • @toxicwaste920
    Thanks for this straightforward video. I started carrying luggage that goes under the seat because the overbin space is just a war I do not want to participate. It is easy to slip in and out. I will def buy that foot hammock!
  • @davidclaro152
    Wow! I’m really impressed by your packing skills and the black backpack, toilet bag, the other small black bag, and that sleeve you use. Excellent and thanks for your video.
  • @valeriet5581
    That's very impressive. You even have color! I have no idea how to create a versatile wardrobe like yours.
