Typically, when I travel, I travel using only a carry-on. I hate waiting for my luggage to come on the carousel and I'm always afraid I'm going to lose my luggage so this is what I have in my carry-on for a week in Europe. Everything I need including clothes, toiletries and other necessities. I do cheat a little bit though, I take a very oversized โpurseโwith me on the plane it's actually not my purse. It's just an extra bag that I use as my โpersonal itemโ My purse is tucked inside. This is where I usually keep my makeup and my toiletries which allows me to pack all the rest of it into my carry-on. My family traveled to Europe for a week only using backpacks and that included two teenage girls that wanted to take everything with them. One even claimed she wasn't going to go because she couldn't take her 16 pairs of shoes she had laid out we worked it out though she took two pairs and had a gr eat time.

Went to NZ in March 2025 and December 2025! Two weeks total, had a rental car. When we went in March, we jumped around hotels in Auckland, Tauranga, and Rotorua in order to be closer to the destinations we wanted to see. In December, our trip was slightly shorter so we stayed in Auckland the whole time and committed to 2-hour car rides in all sorts of directions. I'd love to go back someday and see the lupines in full bloom but that has to be a whole other trip because they bloom on the South island!
