Items I can confidently recommend!

Here are the packing cubes I use…one set are the slim size that fit perfectly the width of most carry-ons, and the other set have a little compression for your bulkier items!

Packing Truth: The biggest mistake you might be making isn’t what you pack - it’s what you’re packing it in.

Your suitcase could be eating up precious weight allowance before you even zip it shut. Some so-called “lightweight” bags weigh 8+ lbs… which can be nearly half the 17 lb limit enforced by some airlines. 😳

👉 When you start with a lightweight carry-on suitcase under 7 lbs, you instantly give yourself more room for the clothes and essentials you actually want to bring. Use that weight allowance for more cute outfits!

⭐️ Why these make the cut as my favorite carry-on suitcases…great quality, work for most international airlines and domestic, and they are ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT!

Top Rated Choice for a Carry-On Backpack

Because not every trip is a suitcase trip!

Why it makes my list of recommended carry-ons:

- It meets the requirements of most airlines.
- (Take caution with strict international carriers! If bag isn’t overstuffed, it should meet size standards.)
- To be safe, for international airlines, opt for the 35L size.
- Weight-distributing carrying features for optimal comfort.
- It has a suitcase-style, full-wrap zipper opening that allows you to open the bag completely flat for easy packing and access to your belongings.
- Excellent organization with interior mesh pockets.
- Padded laptop sleeve
- Durable weather-resistant material
- Includes a rain cover for extra protection
- Thoughtful Details: A top zippered pocket provides quick access to essentials like your passport, phone, and wallet. Brightly colored zippers can help differentiate compartments for easier access. It also features a luggage pass-through sleeve for easy attachment to a rolling suitcase.

Let’s Pack Toiletries!
Packing light and traveling with only a carry-on has its challenges. Would it surprise you to hear me say that the clothes and shoes are the least of my worries? One of the biggest issues for me is dealing with toiletries!
Here are my tips for managing those darn toiletries and how I keep it all organized without monopolizing all the space in my suitcase.

- Pack my favorite, FLAT, hanging medicine cabinet for all of your non-liquid toiletries…Q-tips, nail files, razors, hair clips, contact lenses, dental floss, band-aids, etc. The real bonus here is when a hotel room has limited counter space. This hangs on a hook, keeping everything tidy and easy to find. I pack this last, lying flat on top of my other items, just before I close up my suitcase.
- I use a clear TSA-approved quart-size zipper pouch or quart-size zip lock bag. Either works great. (Note: If you are flying from London Heathrow, they are sticklers and will make you put your things into their 8 x 8 zip lock. Do yourself a favor and grab some from Amazon ahead of time and beat them to the punch!)
- I minimize EVERYTHING, taking only the exact amount needed for the length of my trip. Remember, 3.4 oz OR LESS! And oftentimes, you do need less. There is no limit to how many containers you can have in your TSA-approved quart-size zip bag, so be smart…you can bring a lot of different items if you strategically minimize. I use plastic screw top jars, reusable liquid pouches, and tiny squeeze bottles.
- I use “bottle skins” to prevent leaks.
- I pack my dual-voltage travel hair dryer because I’ve been let down too many times by the hotel dryers, and I pack my “way too important to leave home” ghd dual-voltage flat iron.
- And if you prefer, I’ve found a dual-voltage hair dryer brush that works great.

This duffel would be a great +1 personal carry-on bag…the one that goes under the seat in front of you. It comes in a ton of different colors and is a fun option for your +1 personal carry-on item.

When traveling abroad, skip the voltage converters which are bulky and don’t work that well anyway, and bring a “dual voltage” appliance instead!

Carry-on friendly for most domestic airlines.

Possibly the most versatile item in your travel capsule! This gauzy material means the wrinkles are built in. Wear it alone as a blouse - tucked in or knotted at the waist, wear open as a lightweight outer layer, or wear as a swimsuit cover-up.
