For your soap or bar shampoo, you should try matador flat pack soap bar case. It allows the soap to dry inside without being slimy or gross. Rick Steves travel store has the best price. You will love them!

Thanks for doing an updated video. I just watched your packing video so this is perfect timing😂 Matador has a soap bag that dries your soap out overnight even when you put it in wet. I haven’t tried it but seen many travelers recommend it!

That soap bag is a game changer for travelling. Sometimes full sized soap won’t quite fit but I usually cut one in half anyway

I just wanna say you are so pretty and have very nice skin. You remind me of a younger version of my mom (minus the accent lol!) I'm an extreme minimalist, but I'm also a large girl so I get a little jealous how much more other women can fit in a backpack. I don't want more stuff, but it would help to have a little extra space in my bag 🙂

Thanks ☺ We just talked about that the other day in my Facebook minimalist packing group! I'm a shoe size 6.5 US, so my spare shoes really don't take up much room in my bag, but it's a whole different level if you're size 11 for example.

i know what yo mean about fiber towels... my solution was to find a longi or a very used cotton smoothing in thrift store, the street and, very old sheet- cos its rugged its liter - but also a nice new cotton towel is so useful and cozy in travels i did not mind caring it

Yeah, that’s a good idea to bring a very thin older towel. I’m the same I don’t mind carrying a bigger towel when I know I’m going to use it a lot on the beach or something 😎

Thank you for making a follow-up unpacking video. In the past I've been on walking holidays in Austria and when I've come back I've made notes on my packing list as to what I could have done without and what would have been useful to have packed. This is so useful for future trips. I love my Kindle and for travel its ideal. I laughed when you mentioned your friend having packed physical books.

That’s very smart to make a list, so you don’t forget about it until the next holiday. I only thought about making the video later, so I kept thinking, hopefully I didn’t forget anything 😅. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the three massive hardcover books 😄

Your videos are always fun to watch and thanks for doing the unpack. I travel light but always have a bag with coffee sachets as in so many countries it’s hard to buy a decent coffee or very expensive. also handy in hostels & trains I just need water no milk. I like that you mention you bought larger containers of sun screen in various countries as others with packing videos only show containers less than 100ml but we all know this would not last 3 months 😊

Wow it's so great to see how little amount of things you traveled with! But I agree that underwear is something that seems to run out always when traveling light, and I've added a Dr. Bronner's bar soap to my toiletry kit so I can wash small amount of clothes like underwear and socks fast in the sink when needed. The soap is great for so many things but I usually use it for laundry when traveling. 😄

I found your channel today and like your content! I am not travelling as much as you, but I too love to pack as little as possible and only go with a backpack when travelling. I use the soap bag you have at home for the small remains of the soap bars when they are almost finished. The bag is a kind of massage bag when using with soap inside 😊, really nice and so I use up the whole soap bar. For travelling I have a combined soap and shampoo bar in a small round tin case, really handy 😊. One question: Didn’t you take any kind of journal? I am always journaling when travelling and have even bought a small photo printer to print one photo each day (if there is a photo worth printing). In the journal I even save tickets from sightseeing attractions, write down where I stayed etc. And I take some colouring pens to do small drawings ( I cannot draw, but it’s fun anyway 😅). This makes such a great memory when at home again.

Thank you so much 😊. Yeah, I think using the soap bag I use in the video at home to collect smaller soap bits is the best way to use it. For travelling, I have a new one now where it’s supposed to dry inside but the bag itself doesn’t get wet on the outside. I used to have a tin case but it got rusty and started to look a bit gross 🫣. I really would like to be a person who journals but I’m not 😅. I tried it a few times but it’s not really my thing. But your journal does sound like an amazing way to remember your holidays 😊
