In this video, I’m literally laying out everything I packed for my solo trip to Madrid (and then the Azores right after). It’s not even a vlog—just me, in my tiny studio, trying to show outfits and explain why this was the easiest and most inspiring packing job I’ve ever done. Spain has been one of my obsessions since I was a teenager (it was the first country I ever visited), and going back to Madrid as an adult feels really emotional—especially because it brings up special memories with my grandmother. I walk you through my summer-in-Spain outfits (lightweight cotton, linen, gauze pieces, and shoes I can actually walk in), plus what I’m wearing to the airport and why. I also share the flight-attendant side of how I pack: pieces that double as swimsuit coverups, a crossbody that feels “Madrid” but still practical, and comfort-first choices for long-haul travel. Then I get into my beauty and carry-on essentials—mini deodorants, skin care that saves me after sun, perfumes I associate with Spain, and my tech setup for vlogging (including the camera I keep in my purse for “boots on the ground” moments).
