  2. How about a Med cruise packing in Sept or there about I am doing an 09 2025 to Greece Italy and France. What kind of packing would you recommend

  3. Sarah Filbey says:

    Where do you put all your souvenirs on the journey back?

  4. Peggy Martin says:

    Hi Laurie, I found your channel in 2019 when I was planning a trip to Italy. I’ve since travelled to Hawaii and I’m now planning a two week trip through Southern France/Northern Italy and I continuously find myself drawn back to your channel…I finally subscribed 😜Your common sense advice and no nonsense attitude are so valuable and I appreciate you. You have helped me to make my trips the best they can be ❤ Thank you so, so much!! 😊😊

  5. You look good in anything because you are tall and slim.

  6. Sharon Faith says:

    great video! I do the makeup bag clutch idea also …

  7. A D says:

    Tips on how to dry/style hair in Ireland…no outlets near a mirror!

  8. OOPS!! I commented too soon…..you did use three TRIPPED bags.

  9. Wondering why you didn't use compression cubes for this video? Do you find that NOT using the cubes when packing for 10-14 days gives more space? I'll be on QM2 for 9 days; Germany for 4. Only bringing a small Travel 8 carry on and the black/white stripe personal item bag for under the seat. Comments please.

  10. Just got back from the Norwegian fjords. Your tips are helpful and one day, I hope to be able to pack like you😊. I shared your video with my girlfriends who recently travelled with me. Very helpful!

  11. Hi Laurie, Love your videos. I'm 73 and maybe have unpopular opinions. I'm short with short legs and wide feet. I like to bring a few dresses that I wear with leggings. I also bring the jeans from Betabrand that look nice but feel almost like pajamas and make my legs look less stubby. I have one black dress that I always bring. I don't use scarves (they hang unflatteringly down to my feet ) lol except small ones as accessories. I wear a cardigan and my Easy Spirit shoes, one a ballet slipper that packs beautifully.. I use a cane that always gets attention because it has a gold handle. Aloha

  12. Susanne says:

    Laurie – I ordered a doorstop as you mentioned for hotel safety but it is too short to stop my doors at home. The only ones I can find that are larger are metal and I certainly don't want to have to carry a heavy metal doorstop. Can you recomment one please?

  13. I do take a scarf when I travel even to southern Europe in the cooler months. We were in Italy and Malta in March. It was windy, especially in Malta. I wrapped it around my neck and knotted it, and if you want to blend in with the European women, that's the way to do it. Also, I cannot wear stripes–I'm only 5'3" and not a size 10. In the summer months, skirts are much cooler than jeans. I pack one skirt that can be worn with several tops and one dress that can be casual or dressed up. On a cruise, I take my mother of the groom dress (sorry, I paid a lot of money for it and need to get many wearings from it). I can fold it or even roll or wad it up, and it doesn't wrinkle. So, I might not ever be able to travel with just a carry on for a two-three week cruise. Thanks for the video, I learn a lot from your tips!

  14. LOL! I love your "this is not a beauty pagent… your not going to see those people again!" comment… made me laugh out loud!

  15. Love your videos! Thanks so much. Two things I feel a bit differently about. First, I know it’s not a “beauty contest” (Haha), but we take a LOT of photos. These memories live on , so I’d rather not look too dowdy. LOL Plus, I often use the outfits to help me navigate my photos to figure out what happened on what day.
    Secondly, I tend to like bringing a scarf. You mentioned not bringing the turtleneck. A scarf fills in there to cover the neck. I also use the scarf as a thin layer when it’s just a little cool in a restaurant. Not to mention using as a typical scarf for warmth with your coat. Just some thoughts from a fellow world-traveler! Thanks again.

  16. I just can't bring myself to wear my travel outfit again without washing it! After sitting on public transportation, in the airport, on a plane…yuk.

  17. aewalker2010 says:

    Ahhhh, a fellow stripes lover!

  18. I finally bought that dsw umbrella you suggested for my last Disney trip and it was perfect for those afternoon rain storms. Thank you.

  19. Please do a video on how to pack for 10 days in a carry on for my husband.

  20. datelcomsys says:

    Horizontal stripes make you wider 😏, vertical – thinner 😊

  21. Sue Wolf says:

    Suggestion, Instead of using the word affordable, because your affordable may not be the average woman's affordable, you should give a price range. Talbots, Nordstrom, Ann Taylor, Lands End excetera are pricey stores.

  22. I’m a gadget girl so I’m working on being able to pack carryon only while still having my gadgets. Great tips!

  23. I only pack cardigan sweaters because they go on and come off so easily, plus you can tie the sleeves around your waste instead of holding on your arms

  24. Vanda Neves says:

    Hwllo Laurie!
    After going through security can i put the liquid bag in my suitcase and take it on the plane?

  25. Hi Laurie, I used your packing strategies for my recent trip to the UK and the Netherlands. I praise you for your strategies but I want to comment that even if we are well prepared, travel right now is so hard and the fun has been sucked right out of it. . I took the one carry on suitcase and a small soft bag for under the seat. I was continually made to check my cabin bag. Even flying business class did not prevent this from happening. The airline lost my luggage twice, when I first arrived in The Netherlands and when I returned home. I was initially without my warm clothes (in my cabin bag which I was made to check in) for 3 days. It was cold and raining and a miserable start to the vacation. Not to mention not one penny of compensation for the loss of my gear. I have been an avid traveler all my life. I am re thinking that as I don’t enjoy being treated like a criminal, with overkill security everywhere and the crowds of people are too much. I am going to be giving any unnecessary European travel a wide berth and I would suggest to others considering traveling to Europe and the UK to do the same.

  26. Anne Lovell says:

    Thanks! I wish I had this when I went to Canada

  27. Schaunda H says:

    These videos are a blessing 😊😊

  28. Sam M says:

    Great tip on the cardigans. I live in Europe and it’s never ever cardigan weather here. You can’t wear it without a jacket because it’s either too cold or raining. Unless you’re indoors. A turtle neck is better.

  29. Who owns waterproof shoes?

  30. LMC5 says:

    I am always freezing on a plane and have a health condition that is triggered by cold. I always travel with a light cashmere duster and cashmere travel wrap that I wear on the plane – might look a little silly if it is warmer on either end of my trip but those two piece as are my go to for chilly nights as well. I bring a neutral duster and brighter color wrap. I have 2 travel straps from White & Warren – they are not cheap but I watched for sales. They are large and well made – they can cover my body on the plane.

  31. No matter where or how long choose a colour theme, 3 bottoms choose from trousers/shorts/3/4 trousers and or a skirt, 5 to 6 tops, includes singlet top and 2 tshirts, 1 outer layer, 1 rain jacket, 3 pairs socks all merino, 1 scarf. Add another sweater if winter, add sundress if hot, was my life saver coming back from UK winter and spent 3 days in Singapore.
    Remember you can pack less and hve the fun of buying a new outfit.

  32. 2009bubbaray says:

    We (2adults, 2 teens) recently returned from 3.5w in Europe, one 40L carryon backpack per person, no personal items. No cotton/wool, anything heavy. Technical/athletic fabrics, one pair of running shoes (worn on plane), one pair of EVA Birkenstocks per person. All of our packs were under 7kg each. We did have laundry at each stop, but the key is everything must be lightweight and every item must be intentional!

  33. Love the outfits you pack. They look so good on you.

  34. Perfect use of the compression cubes! Now just to book a flight ✈🧳

  35. Love your tips❤Striped tops are very Channel inspired. Like my stripes going vertical…the illusion of slimming on plus sized ladies….not lookin’ like a bale of cotton walkin’ as my Granny use to say.

  36. All for the preservative-free wine!

  37. I HATE dropped shoulders!! 😝

  38. Love your videos and tips,Laurie!!!

  39. I love scarves,especially for cold weather…I tie them over a sweater,for instance,instead of wearing a bulky turtleneck…and a nice scarf gives a "boost" to a simple t shirt…also,they take very little space in your trolley…😉

  40. Hi Laurie, I love your videos! I like the way you explore options so thoroughly. I have travelled a lot and I always bring a sarong. It is multi purpose. It will keep you warmer, shade you from the sun, you can make it into a bag, it can be an extra layer on the plane, and save your hair in a light drizzle of rain. So while it’s not a scarf, it can be one and many other things too. Please keep posting your fab videos ❤❤❤

  41. Carla Gribi says:

    Camel has never gone out if style..my Mama's favorite

  42. delacotta360 says:

    This was wonderful!! I love that you find us affordable finds. I'm always consulting your videos for clothes especially. Thank you again!!

  43. Lisa B says:

    I love your channel/videos! I have recently tried out merino wool t-shirts … they are a miracle! They keep you cool and will somehow also keep you warm. They also don’t get stinky, which I tested out on a hike in Maine!

  44. Stripes are a timeless classic. They always remind me of great quality menswear, so wearing a well-cut cotton striped button down shirt makes me feel the outfit is kind of elevated, yet subdued enough to not stand out. I tend to try to gently blend in with a crowd vs stand out. Floral prints styles/color combos change rapidily, but stripes have staying power.

  45. Kristianne M says:

    Hi Laurie! I love your content. My travel hack involves scarves for colder weather. Instead of a bulky wool or heavy knit scarf, I pack rectangular silk scarves. They take up no space and keep my neck just as warm. Plus, I can pack more than one so that I don't look the same in all my pictures. They fit in my purse and my jacket pocket.

  46. Renee says:

    Love your channel. Would you be willing to give us a better look inside your coat that has backpack straps? I’d like to “add” straps to my existing coat, but would like to see up close how/where it attaches
