I'm going on a short trip to visit my brother in Seattle,
so I thought I'd show you how I pack my carry on for the trip.
This is my favorite AWAY luggage in the Bigger Carry On size.
It's the perfect carry on size for me and I've taken it on countless trips,
as you can tell from its marks and scars.
First, I always like to pack a journal and some pens
in case I have time to journal my thoughts and inspirations while traveling.
Now let's pack the clothes.
You guys know I love to pack clothes vertically in my luggage.
That way I can see everything at a glance.
With softer clothes, I've learned that it's sometimes easier to roll them instead of folding.
But in general, I like to pack the same type of clothes together:
outerwear, PJs, pants, and shirts.
Next, I'm taking this pair of sneakers with me,
putting it in this plastic bag so it doesn't dirty my luggage.
The plastic bag is just packaging from online shopping.
I like it when the bag has a zip lock,
so I usually keep them to reuse for something like this.
Here's my pouch for skincare and toiletries.
By the way, there are new products in here
because they're gifts for my brother.
I always give him my new skincare because he doesn't know how to buy for himself,
and I have an abundance of skincare.
Anyway, this is one of AWAY's packing cubes that I found really useful for organizing.
Before I pack, I always make sure to charge all of my tech gear.
I always bring a couple cameras with me, as well as my laptop.
And here I'm using another packing cube to carry
all of my tech gear so everything is in one place.
And for this trip, I'm bringing my drone
just in case I want to capture some nature scenery.
Here is my makeup pouch.
I brought only the basics
since we're just going to be hiking and seeing nature with family.
I'm not really planning to wear makeup that often or get dressed up for anything.
And this is another makeup pouch I'm using to store my socks and underwear.
Again, I like that you can see everything at a glance when you open the pouch
so it's really easy access.
Then I put my laptop in last
since I always have to take that out while going through security.
And now we are done with the carry on.
Before I go, I also need to pack a few more things into my backpack:
my Sony camera,
my iPad for reading on the plane,
my small camera,
and a charging cable.
Alright, time to leave for my trip!
I'm so happy I get to spend time with my brother and family in Seattle.
I really only see my brother once or twice a year,
so we'll be going on a road trip to Olympic National Park
and enjoying all the nature and fresh air out there.
I'll catch up with you guys once I'm back.
Love you so much.
Bye!
