Hello! Welcome back to my channel. I have
been sorting out what I'm taking to Bali today
so I thought I would show you exactly what
I decided to take 'cause every single time
I go away, I see it as a bit of a challenge
to only take what is absolutely necessary
'cause I, before minimalism, was terrible
for overpacking; like multiple-suitcases kind
of terrible. So this is quite impressive,
I think. So let me talk you through it. Let's go.
Okay, so first of all we have the back pack
I'm actually taking so this you'll have seen
in my 'Bags' video and it's Charlie Feist
which are a fantastic brand. They're so passionately
vegan in all of their marketing and that kind
of thing so I really like supporting that
company. They're really good. Then we have
my camera stuff so we've got my tripod, my
charger and obviously the camera which is
currently being used; my phone charger which
I'll actually not be taking this so I don't
know what that's doing here. Good bye. Because
we're taking - well Charles actually bought
specially - he bought this battery chargey
pack thing which is... What is it? Anker.
And the idea is that we charge up this pack
and then we charge things from it so that
is helpful because we can charge it on the
go but also because there's often issues with
voltages - voltage differences and that kind
of thing - and I can't explain what those
problems are but I do know that when I charge
my macbook up in Spain, it gets really hot.
So apparently this is going to save all of
that issue somehow. I don't know. But Charles
said it'll be good. Then I've got my travel
adapter. Then I've got my Bose headphones
and also my Kindle so they'll be good for
entertainment. I'm not taking my bak... My
bakmook? My bak... Nope. My macbook with me
because I kind of just want to go away and
relax and spend time with Charles and just
chat and enjoy the scenery and all this kind
of thing so I'm trying to take the amount
of distractions at a minimum. Then I have
two food containers. A bit of advice: try
and take things that will dry quickly because,
our plan - you'll notice that I'm not taking
that many clothes. My plan is to wash them
while I'm out there. So, yeah, if you can
take very lightweight clothes then they're
going to dry more quickly. That's all I'm
trying to say. But two of those - one for
me, one for Charles - my water bottle, so
that I can keep hydrated on the move. Then
let's move onto the clothes now, I guess.
Have I done all this area? Yes. I've got a
back off-the-shoulder dress, I've got a black
crop top, a white crop top, I've got my Vans
shirt and two pairs of shorts which is more
than enough for the journey, I think. Then
I've told you about this. We've got my shoes,
the bag I'll be keeping them in. We've got
a sports towel, bikini, passport then a couple
of reusable bags, notepad and pen, sunglasses,
my Matt & Nat bag which will be used as a
day purse when I'm out there, my new toothbrush
- in fact, let me tell you about this because
this is a new thing. I've just finished my
last plastic toothbrush and I've gone onto
eco-friendly ones. It's be dm: biodegradable
and soft bristles. Yeah, I'm enjoying it.
I've been using the other one that I bought
and they're very good. And then let's move
onto toiletries and that. So soap and shampoo
and all that kind of business we're just going
to get while we're out there. I do want to
get some mosquito stuff before leave because
mosquitoes like me very, very much. This is
the make-up I'm going to be taking - sorry
that this is so filthy - I've got a hairbrush
and I've got... What am I taking? Just eyebrow
stuff, a bit of concealer, a little bit of
mascara, stuff for my lips and liquid eyeliner.
I don't think I'll wear them every day but
if ever we do go somewhere fancy I need to
be prepared for the fancy things. It's like
this wasn't designed to be closed with one
hand. Come on, you can do it! Believe in yourself,
Carmen. There we go. Okay, great, so I'm going
to pack this all away and film that and I'll
do it on fast mode because that'll make it
seem more exciting.
And then I'm just going to carry my water
bottle. Just a few notes about things that
I realised I didn't mention as I was packing:
but I like to take tupperware with me when
I'm going to places that aren't hotels. We're
going to be staying at AirBnbs while we're
there so the plan is that we'll get some ingredients
and cook for ourselves every now and again
and it's just good to be prepared for those
moments. Anyway, I hope that video was in
some way enjoyable and I'll see you in the
next one. Thank you very much for watching
and I'll see you later. Good bye!
