pack with me to move to AUSTRALIA *with 3 bags*

it's time...... in today's vlog, we're cramming EVERYTHING I own into 3 suitcases to move from the US to AUSTRALIA!! I didn't get a storage unit, I didn't leave anything behind, so yes... everything I own ended up in those bags (somehow). I'm taking you through the full two days of packing, and we'll chat about my packing strategy (packing cubes, vacuum compression bags, air tags), how I'm organizing my bags, and how I avoided overweight baggage fees. I'm also sharing my honest experience and how I'm feeling preparing to move abroad. It's truly so surreal, and it still hasn't fully hit me yet! Packing for an international move has been unlike anything I've ever done before :') so if you've ever been curious, this is what it looks like to pack up everything you own to move abroad. Thank you so much for being here💖 I'm SO excited for my next vlog, because it's finally MOVING DAY and I'm taking you with me for my first few days in Australia!! This is a vlog I've been dreaming of for years and it's finally here 🐨🇦🇺 TIMESTAMPS 📦 0:00 intro 0:32 what I’m bringing abroad 1:04 how I’m packing to move abroad / the plan 2:24 packing my carry-on 2:54 packing checked bag #1 (air compression bags) 3:47 day one recap 5:29 my last day before moving 6:10 reorganizing my carry-on 7:30 packing cameras/tech gear 9:23 world’s best travel neck pillow 9:48 checked bag #1 is PACKED 11:15 not fitting into 1 checked bag… 12:03 packing checked bag #2 13:25 this is… everything I own 13:59 reflections & how I’m feeling LINKS FROM THIS VIDEO🤍 Air compression bags I used: https://amzn.to/4tg8rZE Packing cubes (NOTE these are for organizing, not compression): https://amzn.to/4szvayG My suitcases are from July! They're perfect if you're traveling internationally because they fit the Aus/European size requirements, and they're so light but still sturdy. I'm obsessed with them...
