Sharing ONE backpack for a two-week trip

After my mom was unfortunately hit by a car while walking, her surgery and still-continuing recovery have revealed that her mobility has decreased forever, but I still wanted to celebrate her retirement by checking off one of her bucket-list: visiting Switzerland. With her challenges in movement, I would be her mule; her sherpa lol, and carry EVERYTHING for both of us, so in this video, I share how TWO people travel with just ONE bag comfortably... one single carry-on and two personal items - no checked luggage to slow us down.

For the 13 day trip, I tested a pre-production 45-liter version, and they are now finally available:

Both the 35L and 45L are compliant with international (and domestic) carry-on size regulations.


1:09 - Clothing for Two
Clothes are, by FAR, what cause most people to WAY overpack. Before 2016, I chose fast-dry clothes and learned how to hand-wash correctly, but as an original backer of Unbound Merino's crowdfunding campaign 8 years ago, I've never looked back.

I couldn't find the exact same Uniqlo Shirt nor the Nike Shorts I use as sleepwear since those are both more than 3 years old.

2:28 - Clothing for Mom

As mom is still recovering from surgery and her mobility is tremendously limited, comfort was the primary consideration for her.

My mom didn't want to use a packing cube, and for her socks and undergarments, you saw in the video that she just used a random drawstring bag she had lying around at her place. This is a testament that the tools YOU choose to use don't need to be travel-specific, as long as they work for you. I know a few folks who use large ziplock bags to pack their clothes.

I TYPICALLY just bring a small travel sling, but for this trip, since I brought my camera and wanted to be able to quickly take pics for my mom as she checked off her decades-long bucket-list item, I brought a larger sling that could fit my camera.
