Hey guys, welcome or welcome back. In this video I’m literally packing my life away because next week I’m setting off on a month of travel across three different continents in May. I’m going through everything I own, deciding what comes with me and what has to stay behind, and trying not to be a hoarder… even though I still have a whole suitcase of clothes sitting in France. It’s basically seasonal traveling at this point—summer clothes there, winter clothes here—so we’re laying the foundation for a hectic month and I’m trying to enjoy little moments of peace before the chaos hits. This pack-with-me is sponsored by Bagsmart, and I’m showing you my new carry-on/personal item backpack plus their compression packing cubes. I talk about why I picked the smaller bag (airline-friendly because my last one got me in trouble), why I’m obsessed with the suitcase-style opening and all the compartments, and why I’m super serious about laptop protection after a past screen-breaking nightmare. I also get into real pre-trip maintenance: figuring out my hair, doing a walk reset when my social battery is low, and handling the weight-vs-space struggle (because tell me why I can fit 10 more jeans but I’m already at 49 lbs).
