how I'd downsize from a CARRY-ON to just a PERSONAL ITEM 😅

Video Description

It's time to pack for your trip and you just realized, "I can't bring a carry-on?" Talk about stressful! While I'll always prefer to travel with a carry-on and personal item, sometimes it's just not an option. Maybe you're flying with a budget airline and it's too expensive to upgrade, or you just want to pack lighter for your next trip. In this video, I'm challenging myself to pack for the same trip in 2 ways: in a carry-on and personal item AND then in just a personal item sized backpack. Together, we'll decide what to keep and what to toss in order to bring everything I want using both packing methods. I hope you take home some tips that you can use when packing for your next trip! ⚡️ GRAB MY personal item packing list HERE ➡️ https://geni.us/packinglistfreebie 🧳 my favorite travel backpacks → http://bit.ly/47qOp4Z » products mentioned « *CARRY-ON METHOD* 🧳 suitcase – https://tapthe.link/getawayroller ↪ use code *REGAN10%YT* for 10% off 🎒 black backpack – https://geni.us/vagabondjet 💦 travel bidet – https://geni.us/AYrVtc 📦 packing cubes – https://tapthe.link/bagsmartcubes ↪ on amazon – https://tapthe.link/xlhlYi2Ww 🟤 cakes seamless nip covers – https://geni.us/cakescoversrs 🩸 period cup – https://tapthe.link/periodcup 🩸 period undies – https://geni.us/periodundies 🔌 flat power strip – https://geni.us/iMz6R 👜 similar packable tote bag – https://geni.us/cnst 🎮 portable gaming rig – https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck 👜 beige camera sling/purse – https://geni.us/mIdL 🩴 birkenstock sandals – https://go.shopmy.us/p-30379897 👛 similar clear bag for toiletries – https://geni.us/6097Qzm 🧲 flat, magnetic phone stand/tripod – https://geni.us/stance 🔋 silver, magsafe powerbank – https://amzn.to/4mzVRRU 🤿 steam eye mask – https://geni.us/nZAgn5U *BACKPACK ONLY METHOD* 🎒 beige backpack – https://tidd.ly/3YhqkcS ↪ use code *REGAN-10%YT* for 10% off 📚 kindle – https://geni.us/AbgL34 🩴 crocs sandals – https://geni.us/crocsmiami 🔌 multi-use charging cable – https://geni.us/WUpf5Q 🔋 blue power bank and wall charger – https://geni.us/infp3pro 👜 smaller sling – https://peaksta.com/products/the-slim-carry-2 *CAMERA STUFF* similar camera cube – https://geni.us/gxkNGZl camera – https://geni.us/ddhs extra lens – https://geni.us/O9TAel mic – https://geni.us/XAo4D camera strap – https://geni.us/Czj5M2Z lightweight tripod – https://geni.us/Es0ZuC gorillapod – https://geni.us/ft97oVm phone mount – https://geni.us/ILFSBK light – https://geni.us/4AWqzn SD card reader – https://geni.us/qBJLr ** these are affiliate links.
