Hello good people! You guys have been requesting a light packing video for
winter wardrobe for a long time so here it finally is I'm gonna show you what I
packed for my trip for Iceland and I only traveled in a carry-on it was a
week-long trip but if I was staying longer it would be pretty much the same
that I would pack so let's get to it! Okay so when you're traveling to winter
destinations you have to be more practical when it comes to clothes and
what you're packing it's also more challenging because the clothes is
bulkier and you're gonna have to fit a lot of air into your tiny little
carry-on so just let's get started I'm gonna start out with what I would
actually wear on the plane because number one tip is: wear the bulkiest
items on the plane if you can! Some items, it does not make sense
but if you can get away with it wear it on the plane and it does not take up
space in a carry-on so on your feet bring one pair of really warm winter
boots I did not bring anything else just this one pair I wore them all the time
and I did not need any fancy shoes because it's Iceland, it's really cold it's
freezing and if you're not wearing practical Footwear you're not having fun
so one pair of boots and I wore them on the plane so they don't take up space in here
I only brought one pair of pants I'm wearing them right now and they
don't go in the suitcase so one pair of pants this was my regular setup like
just a normal long sleeve t-shirt not fancy at all but then I have this
knitted sweater that my mother-in-law knit for me and it is so warm it's the
warmest wool and I love it for this kind of travel so I was wearing this because
this sweater is really bulky, so I was wearing that on the plane
I was also wearing my jacket
It was wintertime in Denmark so having to go to the airport
and sit at the airport and bring the jacket was not a problem if you're
flying from a warm climate to a cold climate it can be an
issue but I'm just assuming that it's kind of wintery wherever you are so I
just wore my jacket I didn't have to pack it I also wore my scarf and my hat
So everything that I'm wearing on the plane is on the floor now and this is
what I need to fit into here it's really not that bad I did bring one warm
sweater but that was mostly for exploring so I also brought a nice warm
sweater so to go out to restaurants and eat and still keep warm I'd like to
bring something different and I only brought one like a dress-up shirt I
think we went out to eat probably twice maybe three times and I just wore this
one every single time sometimes this one and sometimes this one on top I felt
like I had enough variety and it was just for a week if I was staying longer
I probably added one more but that's about it
I also brought one more t-shirt just to wear under stuff and switch out keep in
mind it is possible to wash when you're traveling find a washing machine
somewhere and just wash whatever you need washed if you're run out that's
really the worst that can happen and how bad is that? Not too bad!
When you travel to cold climates you're gonna need gloves mittens
whatever I brought these, they're really warm they're for skiing and I just knew
it was gonna be cold and windy I went to Iceland in February and it was really
cold so bring something like this you might feel stupid walking around and
carrying it around but it's a whole lot better than really cold fingers
I also brought a pair of tights to wear under my pants it was too cold if I
brought a skirt I could also just use that to change it out with the pants I
just use these underneath I like to use packing cubes for my socks and my
underwear so those things always go in here it makes it easy to pack in the
suitcase and things don't go flying everywhere which I'm a big fan of
Toiletry wise I just pack what I normally pack one thing that I do add in
is chapstick you have to remember to pack this if you have any kind of issues
getting dry lips fast so I always pack this somewhere preferably in my pocket I
need it all the time I'm the kind of person who can't fall asleep at night if
my lips are cracked, so I need this! I also always travel with ear plucks and
a sleep mask because when you rent a room somewhere you don't know how loud
it's gonna be or if there are any curtains at all so I just always bring this as standard
Bring you converter plug if you need that for wherever
you're going if not that's great I booked an air B&B and those places most
of the time they have towels if it doesn't say clearly on there and I just
I'm assuming that they have towels then sometimes I just bring this small little
micro towel it's big enough that it actually works it takes up a lot of
water and it's just in case I need it I probably won't need it but sometimes I
like to bring it it's so small and the space it takes up for me compared to the
hassle of actually not having a towel it's worth it to me I always bring this
Eagle creek super lightweight packing cube as a laundry bag it weighs nothing
and I can just use it as I go. I always pack that.
And I have pyjamas and it's the long sleeve and long pants pajama version not the short one -
- unless you're like a really warm sleeper something that might seem a little
random is the swimsuit in Iceland they have actually have a lot of hot springs
so I knew that we were going to the Blue Lagoon and hopefully some other places
as well so I needed to bring this and just go through your destinations see if
you might need it you might be going to a spa a hot spring, whatever
just think through your trip and see if you actually need it because being in
Iceland where everything is expensive it's really annoying to have to go out
and buy one when you travel to colder destinations and you're spending time
in your airBnB, maybe a fancy hotel I don't know but I find I always
need warm socks at night unless I want to sit on my bed the whole night my toes
they get freezing I can't wear my winter boots inside so pack the pair these are
maybe your slippers that you use at home and also Airbnb they do not always have
hair dryers when you trying to cold climates walking outside after you have
a shower with your hair all wet it gets really cold you might not think of it
ahead of time but bringing a hairdryer if you're not absolutely certain that
the hotel or the Airbnb has one because I'm pretty sure you're going to need it
I always bring mine I'm always annoyed because it's bulky but when I'm there I
really appreciate it so bring a hairdryer if you think you need it
I do video so I need to transfer my files to my computer I always bring it - you might not need to
My camera by the way I always carry it on me I carry it with me in a separate
bag when I go on a flight so it does not need to fit in here now for one last
thing and that is something that people often ask about and I would assume that
you would do the same thing with your bulky jacket if you're flying in from a
warm climate but these vacuum bags are really practical when you're
traveling to a cold destination so how they work is that you put your bulky
items like these like snow pants that have needed for Iceland
It's the same if you're going skiing or something you might need something that's really bulky, so..
You just fit it in here you can get them in different sizes and then you
just zip it locked up here and then you roll the air out
You have to make sure when you get these vacuum bags that you get the one where
you can roll the air out instead the one where you have to use a vacuum cleaners
because vacuum cleaners they change a lot in how they look in different
countries so you might not be able to use them everywhere and also you might
not have a vacuum cleaner available when you're going back home so you can't
squeeze the air out anyway so get the ones where you can roll the air out that
has a zip log on one end so you can reuse them many times and wherever you are
Now I've sucked the air out of this one and it's really thin and it's easy just
to pack in my suitcase and it hardly takes up any space
That's it for this video guys I fit everything for a week's worth of travel
maybe two weeks if you add in one more sweater or a few more socks I really
recommend you get a vacuum bag so you can vacuum the air out of fluffy items
and I recommend you don't skimp on the warm items because you are really gonna
need them don't think that you can just layer up forever because that just gets
impractical so bring one or two really warm sweaters wear one on the plane put
the other one in here maybe in the vacuum bag with snow pants bring a
hairdryer and some warm woolen socks and you'll be good to go I'll try and leave
links in the description down below for the vacuum bag the laundry bag that I'm
using the small towel all these kinds of things so check the description down
below I hope you like this video let me know if you have any questions I'll be
happy to do a lightweight Q&A whatever leave them down in the comments share
this video with your friends if you found it helpful in any way give it a
thumbs up and I'll see you guys next time, bye!
