Heyo! Mitch and Day here ????????

We’re just your typical American-Colombian couple determined to live every second of our precious time here on earth to the fullest. After a 10-month solo backpacking trip through South America, I (Mitch) stopped in Cali, Colombia to take salsa dancing classes ????????. I only planned to stay for a couple weeks, but God had other plans for me. I met a cute Colombian girl (Day) in class, those couple weeks turned into a couple years, and before we knew it...we were married ????????????????

Now we’re traveling the world full time as digital nomads, supporting ourselves by working online ????‍????????‍????

Our goal with these videos is to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, give you an inside peek at our crazy imperfect lives, and show you that you don’t have to be rich to live an extraordinary life...all you need to do is make the choice!

How To Pack a Carry-on for One Bag Travel

How To Pack a Carry-on for One Bag Travel—the right way. Check out our full blog post for a written breakdown:

0:00 - Intro
1:03 - Choose Your Bag
2:21 - Lay It All Out
6:38 - Compartmentalize
9:56 - Pack It Up
12:04 - Practice Your Trip

Learn more about Pack Hacker Pro:

If you've never traveled with just a carry-on, we highly recommend it. Why? Because it’s freeing. There’s no need to wait at the airport to get your checked luggage. You can breeze through security quickly. And you have everything you need on you at all times.

In most cases, a smaller carry-on-sized bag forces you to be mindful of what you bring, which means you won’t have to haul around bulky luggage or excess gear. Even if you jam your bag full, it’s still a relatively compact package.

How to Pack Clothing for One Bag Travel | Minimalist Packing Tips & Hacks

So which method is better for packing clothing—rolling or folding? That’s up to you to decide, but we’re here to show you how it’s done. ???????????? Check out our packing lists, here ????

0:00 - Intro
0:36 - Come Back to the Fold

8:24 - Loc it Up
9:24 - KISS

From packing cubes to the humble Ziploc bag, there are a ton of ways to pack your clothing for travel that will save space and keep you organized. We still don’t have the answer to the great packing debate about whether it’s better to fold or roll your clothes. But we can tell you that folding is faster while rolling makes your clothes more compact (meaning you can pack more). If you’re trying to avoid wrinkles, try bundle rolls or garment folders.
