three weeks in a carry-on | packing for greece

okay so I just got back from Greece I spent three weeks traveling through Melo's Santorini knocks those mykonos in Athens and for the 21 days I was there all I packed was one carry-on suitcase and one personal bag and today I'm gonna show you how I did that so I usually always travel with a carry-on bag whether it's my waste of case or the Osprey Farpoint 40 I used to use my Osprey backpack much more it would get really happy because it's a 40 liter so it would get heavy and I just didn't like having so much weight on my back so that's when I switched to the suitcase and I brought that with me on my two-week trip to Europe last year and ever since then I haven't travelled without it it's perfect it has the 360 degree wheels it has the locks and I have a portable charger so it's really nice I prefer to do carry on rather than checked bags because one I don't like to wait at the baggage claim once I land I like to just go straight to my Airbnb or hostel - I like having all my things with me I don't like having to wonder like if I'm going to me and my chick dying or not and three is just much easier to handle one small um like carry-on bag rather than a big checked bag especially if you're getting on and off buses or through taxis or metros it's just more convenient alright this is my way suitcase like I said I got this last year for my two-week trip to Europe it's a hard shell but it's still pretty flexible it has the 360-degree wheels which is really nice going through the airport with at the top we have the combination lock to lock the suitcase with the zippers and in the back there is a portable charger area um and you can actually take it out as well I usually take it out right before I get on the airplane to charge my phone while I'm on the plane this is the inside of my away suitcase here's the little pocket that carries a laundry bag but I prefer to use it to put my shoes in aside from my underwear in swimsuits these are all the clothes that I packed to wear for the three weeks while I was in Greece I reward a lot of these clothing items though and some even multiple times I packed two pairs of track shorts black jeans black leggings denim shorts overalls and gray leggings I also brought ten shirts and pretty neutral colors I packed three t-shirts which I used as pajamas or loungewear for hanging around the Airbnb 's and I also packed one workout shirt or extra loungewear shirt and finally I brought two dresses in one jumpsuit I bought this hoodie in Santorini because it was really cold but this denim jacket was the only Jackie I originally packed this is the outfit I wore on the airplane a white button-down grey leggings my Santorini hoodie and a denim jacket I'm not actually going to pack these so I'll just set them to the side I prefer to fold my shirts in thirds then roll them up as tightly as possible I put my roll to close on the side of the suitcase that has the bars because the rolled clothes packed nicely around them I know that some people swear by packing cubes and I used to use them all so then I like to just put all my clothing in the suitcase directly so it's not to waste any space I found that when I use the packing cubes there was still some unused space left over [Music] once I have all my clothes rolled up I'll start placing them in the suitcase usually starting with the thickest clothes first since they take up the most room at this point it's like a game of Tetris trying to find which clothing items will fit best where I always leave the thinnest or smallest clothing items for last because they can easily be squeezed into any leftover space if some items like jeans can't fit well by ruling I'll just leave them folded and place them on top I brought one pair of white sneakers that could be dressed up or down and one pair of sandals these I got in Greece because the ones I originally packed broke while I was there I wore these on the airplane though so I'm going to set them to the side I'm using the laundry bag to put my shoes in so that they don't get the rest of my items dirty now we're moving on to toiletries and electronics this is all my makeup for the trip it's just the basics foundation mascara eyeliner blush bronzer etc I also packed a microfiber towel this is my toiletries case I have my conditioner shampoo sunscreen face wash body wash anti-itch cream in case I get bit lotion toothpaste toothbrush razor face mask like makeup remember cream and some flossers this is where I keep all my medicine like pepto-bismol ibuprofen vitamins and a couple extra toiletries I also packed mosquito repellant dry shampoo and hairspray this is my electronics bag I keep all my cords adapters my hard drive and other electronic stuff in here my macbook charger doesn't fit super well in the electronics bag so I just kind of try to fit it anywhere that I can find space for it I also just try to fit my brush anywhere there's extra space this is my bag for jewelry and this is my bag for bobby pins hair ties headbands etc I left this space up here open so I can put my bras and swimsuits so into this little space I'll put my bras in first and then I'll start taking my swimsuits and folding them and just stuffing them in the cups of the bra you [Music] as for my underwear and socks I'll just place them anywhere on this side of the suitcase that I can find space for them [Music] I've also packed a canvas bag to use during the day as a purse because it can fit well in the suitcase and I had to shield my face from the Sun this is the personal bag that I'll be using to put under the sea in front of me on the airplane I have my laptop and I'll put it in the back in the laptop sleeve a file for important papers [Music] my camera case my portable pillow or my travel pillow I also have my journal my Kindle for reading I'm a sarong to keep warm and some snacks and then finally I have my reusable water bottle I have my iPhone charger some headphones or earbuds some wipes and some tissues chopstick medicine and hand sanitizer my keys for my apartment and I mask and my sunglasses a pen for filling out forms my phone my wallet and my passport case with my passport all right so everything impacted from a three-week trip to Greece I just felt like the days ago and as I mentioned I wore a lot of clothes again and again and I even got one few detergent to do my own laundry in the sink out my hair being bees but I have realized that it's possible to pack in a carry-on really for any length trip hopefully this video helped you and encouraged you to be able to pack in and carry on the next time you go on your trip
