Hi! Today I'm going to talk about what I packed for my trip to Amsterdam and Bruges.

If you're not familiar, Amsterdam is in The Netherlands and Bruges is in Belgium.

We are going for ten days but two of those are travel days so

really we're going to spend eight days in the city

and then from Amsterdam we're going to take the train to Bruges and

then we're gonna head back to Amsterdam for another day or two.

I actually think is one more day and then we're gonna head back to the airport and come back to the US

So packing for this trip was a little bit tricky at first I thought

well you know what I'm gonna try to do everything on a carry-on for the 10 days

but then once I started packing, I realized that my carry-on is just not gonna be big enough

and cold weather clothing, as you know, it's heavier, thicker so it takes up more room in your suitcase

so I had to basically eliminate my carry-on but I didn't want to take my huge suitcase

because since we will be traveling  from Amsterdam to Bruges

I didn't want to take a really heavy suitcase with me

I don't like big bulky things especially when I know I don't really need a huge suitcase for ten days

So my solution was to finally purchase the  medium-sized Away suitcase.

So I have the carry-on Away and like I said, I try to fit everything in there

it just wasn't working out so when I bought the medium Away suitcase it was perfect.

It's not too big and not too small so it's perfect for this ten-day trip to Amsterdam and Bruges

So I'm going to show you what I packed for this trip

like I said it's it's cold so... I mean,  it's not gonna be like then winter

but it is starting to get cold already so I'm definitely going to be dressing in layers

Definitely a lot of walking involved and a lot of biking so I wanted to bring clothes that were comfortable

but also warm enough for the cold weather or kind of slightly chilly weather.

Probably to people in Amsterdam, it's not that chilly but since Crystal and I are both from warmer climates

I currently live in Southern California and Crystal lives in Florida

So to us, anything below 60 degrees is pretty chilly.

I know that 60 degrees is probably nothing to people who live up north

but anything below 60 starts getting a little bit cold for us.

We've been keeping track of the weather and it looks like it's gonna be like in the 50s during the day

and then at night it drops pretty low and there are some activities we'll be doing at night

not a whole lot so we need to dress appropriately for the cold weather

because the last thing we want to do  is catch a cold and it'll ruin our trip.

So, let me show you what I packed and I'm also going to show you - oh yeah, let me mention one more thing.

So because I am checking in my medium -  you can't carry on the medium carry-on, it's too big.

So I'm checking that in and because I'm checking that in, there is a possibility that it might get lost or delayed

That has happened before and you don't want that to ruin your trip

so what I do is then I carry on a duffel bag and I carry a couple extra days of clothes in there.

I carry my toiletries in there and my makeup in there.

So basically if my bag  does happen to get lost or delayed

I still have a couple days of clothes on me and I really don't have to go out and buy -

I don't want to spend time having to go buy things because I already have a whole -

Crystal and I already have our itinerary planned. We have tickets to go see a museum that we can't cancel

so the last thing I want to do is spend time shopping and trying

to find clothing and toothbrush and toothpaste and all that stuff.

Alright, so let me go ahead and get to what I have in my suitcase.

In my medium-sized Away suitcase  that I'm going to be checking in -

On one side I packed a couple of sweaters, an extra jacket, a couple of pants -

jeggings type of ... yeah, I think I called jeggings.

I mean they're pants - they're denim but they've got a lot of stretch to them.

I don't like wearing uncomfortable pants  when I'm traveling

so these pants are super comfortable and stretchy.

I also packed a skirt and then I packed uh... what else did I pack?

Oh, I packed these Uniqlo HeatTech innerwear

which is great for layering so I'll be wearing the HeatTech leggings under the skirt

On the other side, I packed my  extra shoes, extra boots,

I also have a light jacket - a leather jacket that I'm packing

and then I packed one dress. I thought I should pack one dress

because one night we are gonna  go out and eat somewhere nice

so that's why I packed a nice dress for that evening.

And then just little miscellaneous items  like

a headband I don't want to say that but it's like those head warmers - because it's gonna be cold.

Socks, underwear, bra... so yeah, just like little miscellaneous items I put all on the other side.

so that's what I'll be taking with me for my check-in bag  is a medium Away suitcase.

And what I'm carrying on with me is my backpack and my duffel bag.

and in my duffel bag, I am basically carrying this on just so that I have an pair -

some extra pairs of clothes with me. Also my toiletry and my makeup.

Just in case my check-in bag gets lost or delayed.

So in my duffel bag, I am packing a couple of my sweaters, pants and my toiletry

and then also my makeup bag, my jewelry bag and then also my GoPro.

So these are all the items I am packing in my duffel bag.

Everything can fit in my duffle bag. I don't need that extra book bag necessarily .

But I do like to carry a book bag just because

when I'm in Amsterdam or Bruges I'm gonna need that backpack.

So in my backpack I am going to carry snacks, my laptop, my personal items

like my passport, my wallet, and my phone.

So those are the two bags that  I will be carrying on with me on my flight

the duffle bag really isn't necessary. I could have fit all those things in my check-in suitcase

but I I'm just scared or I like to be prepared that in the case that my bag does get lost or delayed

that I have clothes with me for at least two days

and that way I'm not spending time and Amsterdam or Bruges looking for clothing

because the last thing I want to do is waste my time shopping instead of sightseeing

and yeah, so that's why I am carrying on the duffel bag with extra clothes.

So that's what I'm packing for Amsterdam and Bruges. Hopefully everything arrives fine.

I mean if it happens it happens. There's  really not much I can do about it and

that's why I have that duffel bag just in case that does happen

and I'm not stressing out or heartbroken that my things are gone.

I still have an extra bag of clothes and toiletries and accessories.

And I really hope that it's not freezing there,

I hope I packed accordingly and I think  the clothes that I packed are warm.

I have the innerwear, the HeatTech innerwear,
