Can I Pack in ONLY This Daypack for 10 Days in Japan?
This small 18L backpack qualifies as a personal item on budget airlines such as ZipAir. I’m packing a minimal capsule wardrobe in a light summer color palette. Plus non-liquid travel toiletries and day bag essentials. This will carry me through sightseeing in Tokyo and camping in Okinawa. Watch until the end to see if my bag is within 7kg!

Which destination are you packing for? Do you think you could pack in only a backpack?
Great π thank you for sharing π
hahaha. when the weight of the coins risk putting you over. π
under 7kg! that is amazing!!!
really puts into perspective the 6 checkin, 2 rolly bag, 4 backpack + stroller weβve been traveling to Japan with. LOL
even before the kids, when it was just me and Momabetic, weβd have 4x suitcases to check-in for the flight home.
That was seriously impressive, some great packing tips!
Awesome! Can you link your tiny tweezers and nail file?
Iβm with you. I only travel with carryon luggage. The only issue I have is, that I travel from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. So the weather is completely the opposite. In January I will be travelling from the height of summer in Australia to winter in China. π¦πΊ
do you have a link for the powder toothpaste?
My wife and I, and 14-year-old daughter are going to Japan from Thailand next week for 15 days. Each taking a backpack and one additional small rolling case. Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka and Okinawa. Everyplace we stay will have laundry facilities. When travelling so much within the country large suitcases are a deal breaker. Good tips.
The way you fit everything in that bag like a perfect Tetris lineup was so satisfying!
Hello! Iβm going in early Nov for 3 weeks, may I ask what temp can I expect so that I can plan? Thank you so much
Where did you get the foldable umbrella? I would like to get one with UPF built into it.
Merino wool is only good if you are not allergic to wool. I bought some expensive Unbound merino tees but have to wear a cotton tee underneath so it defeats the purpose for Summer. OK for Fall but really doesn't help with minimal travel.
This packing video is perfect for Thailand too. If you are flying asia air, 7kg is the limit.
Also, packing a unscented bar soap and lotion is very necessary in Thailand bc its almost impossible to find a travel size one. Just wanted to share my experience even tho this for a different country. 8:21
Unrelated but I love the color palette of your outfits!
I say itβs possible but not during the summer when you sweat. The key is being able to wash your clothes but make sure to put aside at least 3 hours to do this. The dryer takes forever.
Hi, where can we buy cheaper magnets like mt fuji and disney sea in Tokyo, magnets@ disney sea are expensive.
I'm a big fan of merino for travelling, but not in hot weather as I find it too warm. My go-to for that is silk.
Hi Heidi! Thanks so much for your video! The other recent video you did actually inspired me to buy 4 outfits that I could mix and match. It's taken a lot of stress off because I was definitely overpacking. You and I have similar color palettes, love the purples and pinks!
Thank you, thank you!!
I went to Bali for 9 days and only had 3.75kg. I got pounced on by Australia customs for it on my return.
Great video. I would like to see a similar packing version for men thou.
Hi, how much cash should we take to Japan for a week? Itβs our first time and a Family of 5 with our Hotel, some Disney days and a private tour already paid. Thanks so much
