hello everyone and welcome back to my channel my name is sarah and i really
like to make videos about travel and in fact tomorrow i am going to tenerife spain
with one of my best friends from uni and we've actually decided to only take a personal carry-on
item with us each because we're flying with Ryanair and yeah if you guys didn't know you
do have to pay a lot extra just to even take a bigger cabin bag with you we have set ourselves
the challenge of only taking something this size with us and i've actually just packed the bag and
everything fits in so i thought that i would share with you guys everything that i am taking
short disclaimer we are only going for four nights just for the purpose of this video
that's the background so yeah only taking this it's a Kanken 13-inch laptop bag i think
in two dimensions it's under the specification and in one dimension i think in this dimension it's 25
centimeters which is the exact limit i think i've taken this plenty of times with me before though
as a personal item so yeah it should be fine but yeah without any further ado let's get into the
packing what i really like about Kanken bags is that they do open up pretty much completely
so i'm using a packing cube it just really helps compress everything together i find so
i was initially only going to take clothes in this packing cube but then i realised that there were
some other things which i wouldn't need immediate access to for example going through security um so
like hair brush deodorant this isn't a liquid so i don't need to put it in the liquids bag
so yeah i just put swimwear a pair of sandals i'm wearing trainers because we are going to be doing
some hiking things like underwear boring things an extra trousers couple of tops i'm also taking all
of my chargers which don't have any batteries or anything in them so i believe i won't need to take
them out at security so i'm putting all of that in there as well this is sort of the most bulky stuff
i would say that is going right in the bottom of my bag because i don't need to access them
and yeah these packing cubes i really recommend them i got them from dm when i was living in italy
'Drogerie Markt' it's a german company it's kind of like a combination of holland and barrett
boots or superdrug if you guys are familiar with uk shops but yeah it's such a good shop and yeah
i got these really nifty i think it came with a bigger packing cube as well but obviously i'm only
taking this one it just really nicely slides into here with a little bit of effort it does look as
though it's not going to fit in but because it's mainly clothes in there it does sort of gradually
fit into place once you've sort of played about with it a bit so yeah i'm just going to zip it
up as far as the packing cube goes these are all of my liquids of course you do have to put them in
a separate bag it said on the label that it's tsa friendly so yeah what's not to lose really so i've
got mascara sort of half a tube of toothpaste got hand sanitizer after sun just in case you
know it's better safe than sorry actual sun cream and i've got moisturizer and makeup remover wipes
i believe these do count as a liquid even though they're they're wipes so yeah just to make sure
that i'm safe i'm putting that in there as well i think that amounts to seven liquids so yeah
putting that in here i'm also taking a first aid kit i got this from tiger it does come with quite
a lot of things like i don't know like a bandage some antiseptics rubber gloves plasters things
like that but i did decide that it was actually a nice place put some other things in as well so i'm
putting on these like wristbands just because i do get carsick quite a lot so just in case i
think it's quite a good idea to put them in there and i'm putting in these earplugs which i actually
bought in germany when i was living there and i'm also putting in some blister plasters because as
i say we are going walking so those are always good i'm also putting in a brush head because i'm
taking my electric toothbrush but of course the electric bit with the battery is going to go in a
separate bag i'll need to take out it security i'm also taking concealer because it's not a liquid
and it's just really small and i am having quite a break out with my skin at the moment which is a
bit unfortunate i'm also taking some ibuprofen tablets and some paracetamol tablets because
those kinds of things are so expensive abroad in our country it literally costs less than 50p
to buy a box of those you know you never know when you'll need them i've also got a couple of
things you know for the time of the month just in case it does happen although i'm not due just
so you know so i'm also slipping that into there like that i'm also taking my purse this is quite
a small purse i like it i've had it for years um nothing fancy really i've got some sterling coins
um i never even use coins anymore but just in case i don't know i come across something where
i really can't pay with cards i've also got some euro coins a couple of notes but i do have a monzo
card i'm taking it both on apple pay and the physical one so i can withdraw cash um without
paying anything extra once i'm actually there but yeah i've just got a bit of cash just to get me started
i think it's about 15 euros i'm also taking this this is a waterproof cover for my rucksack because
i'm not taking an umbrella because it definitely won't fit in there i'm also taking a raincoat with
me because even though it's not due to rain there i don't know because i'm british i'm always sort
of wary of it raining so i just thought that it would be nice just to take it it would be nice
for some warmth on the plane as well because it is about four hours from bristol where i'm
flying from so yeah quite a long journey and it can get cold in the plane sometimes so yeah this
is the coat that i am taking um and i am actually being slightly sneaky and putting a pair of sunglasses
in one of the pockets because i really don't want it to get crushed as part of this even though of
course there is room for it i still don't want it to get crushed i'm also wearing this scarf
just as an extra layer i just think that it would be nice also as a pillow in the cabin
for example it's nice and versatile something like this you know as for electronics i am taking
you guys with me my camera this is the case so it's like roughly the same size as
the camera and i'm also taking of course my toothbrush and my headphones and my
portable charger and they're all going in here and they should all be able to fit just about
yes okay so yeah it's all fit in like that i am basically wearing all of the sort of
bulkiest stuff like my trainers for example actually on the flight so that i don't have
to put them in there i know that's a really old hack but yeah i also sort of
maximize the space within the packing cube so for example i stuffed things like socks actually
in the sandals because they are sort of quite bulky so you can put stuff in there and
yeah therefore it saves space if that makes sense this is where a laptop would normally go but i'm
not taking my laptop this time because i just don't have room and i don't i quite like a break
from the screen to be honest i've spent the past sort of six months just glued to my screen to be
honest doing university assignments so i like a break from those just to keep them nice and
flat i'm putting a pack of masks in this folder where i'm putting all of my documents because
you never know when you will need a mask i feel as though the uk is quite relaxed
compared to other countries so yeah better to be safe than sorry with this i'm also taking my
passport i bought travel insurance the other day and i printed out the policy documents
and i'm also printing out the reservation details of my accommodation i've also got my digital
covid pass i've had three vaccines only two of them i had in the uk so i've got the passes
for that on my phone but the first one i had in germany so i've got it in here just in case that
is an issue but hopefully it won't be but yeah definitely if you're still watching during covid
times then check the entry requirements like triple check just in case you do need anything oh
yeah and i'm taking a sun hat i'm just attaching it like this because i think it would fit in here
if i really tried but it's just nice to have it more accessible you know of course there are
some last minute things that i haven't packed yet such as my phone charger and my phone and
you guys but that is basically it and i'm sure i won't have any difficulty putting it in here
somehow i'm not taking a water bottle actually because i've decided that i'm not really that
comfortable with using tap water for example like from the bathrooms in the airport so i'm going to
buy a water bottle once i've gone through security so yeah that is another reason why i could take
all of this um because i don't have a water bottle but yeah if you are thinking of going away with i
don't know a budget airline like ryanair or easyjet then definitely consider only taking this because
it is surprising what you can fit in there when you're really sort of economical about what you
take and stuff i hope that you have enjoyed this um found it useful if you're going away
on a short haul flight like i am then yeah let me know where you're going if i've forgotten anything
i'll hopefully insert it here but i think that's pretty much everything feel free to let me know
if you think i forgot anything it'll be too late for me but hopefully it'll be useful for other
people but i don't think i have i hope you have a lovely time away wherever you're going and please
