u got this 🙂

there’s a lot of things I’d like to do before I dive some things on my bucket list include swimming with dolphins seeing the Northern Lights running a marathon climb a volcano and one thing that I’ve really really wanted to do is backpack through Europe now backpacking is very different than just going on a vacation to a new destination you’re traveling while staying on a tight budget getting around by public transportation or hitchhiking using inexpensive lodging like hosts or staying in other people’s homes Pearson get out all right if I was to go backpacking through Europe I would bring the biggest backpack I could find hiking boots sandals six pairs of socks a warm jacket five shirts five pants a water bottle a towel headphones toilet trees and lots and lots of snacks now as if backpacking in Europe on a tight budget wasn’t hard enough I’m still going to be backpacking through Europe just um using the world’s smallest backpack I like a challenge what can I say I’m about to leave for a 14-hour flight to Europe where I will spend four days living off of only what I can pack in the world’s smallest backpack she’s not super spacious but you know here goes [Music] nothing huzzah we have made it to Milan Italy if only traveling was actually as easy as a quick transition but anyways I can’t believe we’re actually going to do this thing I think this is smaller than the world’s smallest suitcase but you guys with all of the training from the world’s smallest suitcase series I have really figured out what I’m supposed to pack in here here She is in all her glory she’s going to be the one getting me through these next couple days and let me tell you I have packed this to Perfection can we just take a moment to look at how small and teeny and cute this wiow backpack is you see this is the normal size the backpack would be but instead it looks like this smaller than my head this is the backpack compared to my hand this remote a coffee cup my shoe oh God okay I’m not flexible enough for that all right we get it it’s small but I have so much faith in my packing skills that I think that these next couple days are going to be a breeze now it’s time to head to the train station because our first destination on this backpacking trip is Lake coma and we’re off to you guys I have made it to Lake comoo I’m in awe of how beautiful this place is look at this we’ve got the lake over here the snow cap mountains up there this beautiful garden is right behind me and there’s cute little boats going by it’s it feels like I’m in a movie I’m in a fairy tale one thing I will say is it is boiling here it is boiling hot I’m on fire I’m sweating you can probably tell we’ve got some things in the world’s smallest backpack that I think are going to be useful for us if you guys remember I did live out of the world’s smallest suitcase in the desert and from that I learned a lot what did I learn your girl burns easily so she’s brought the ketchup mustard looking packets of sunscreen is somebody going to match my freaks oh my gosh this is that good good where the hell am I how did I even get here this is stupid it’s almost as stupid as living out of the world’s smallest backpack for several days but you know what whatever now if I was backpacking in Europe with a normaliz backpack I would have a ton of space to hold my camera or my phone or my video camera or my Polaroid camera I’d be able to capture the moment with those things obviously I don’t have space for all of those things in the world’s smallest backpack but I do have something else this is the world’s smallest phone and it works this is the only phone that I could actually fit in the world’s smallest backpack it’s so little this is it compared to my face and wait for the most satisfying part oh my God are you kidding me so we turn on the phone like this swipe up and you have all of your app we’ve got Tik Tok we’ve got Instagram we’ve got Spotify Snapchat and the best of all while traveling on a European Vacation we have a camera I was so worried because you guys know if it’s not on the gram did it even [Music] happen guys it’s seems as though I have stumbled upon some competing backpacks are they smaller than the world’s smallest no but imagine how much stuff I can fit in that and you know what I’d still probably be using my tiny phone I like it so for those of you who don’t know the first time that I ever lived out of the world’s smallest suitcase from 4 days the only cash that I had to my name that I was able to fit in my world’s smallest suitcase was $34 which I found sprawled out in my house and then the second time I did it I gave myself only $34 and you best believe folks you best believe we’ve got 34 I’m going to be using this very wisely what you can’t go to Italy and not get gelato oh that’s good 12 seconds later my God I dropped my gel well there goes three arrows Okay so we’ve spent $3 on the gelato which means we have $31 left to last us throughout the entire time one thing that I have not had single sip of today is water maybe I should drink some water perhaps but I don’t want to waste money on water okay so guess what they got in Lake KO free water I’m pretty sure it’s just like a like a water fountain but you know it’ll do it’ll do I did not have room in the world’s smallest backpack for a cup so we’re just going to have to wing it [Music] delicious oh oh my gosh oh it feels good to lay down what’s nice about traveling so light is that I don’t have anything to unpack like usually when I get to my hotel room I put my clothes on hangers in the closet so if they don’t get wrinkly I take out all my skin care stuff my hair straightener I put it in the bathroom not that much to unpack in here but there’s a lot to unpack about me you know lately I’ve been feeling actually really emotional I’m just kidding that joke did not land oh my god this is my least favorite part about doing doing these videos I never get a change of clothes so that means I have to sleep in this shirt I don’t have a change of t-shirt I don’t have a change into PJs when I go to sleep and then tomorrow and then the next day and then the next day I have to wear the same clothes it’s fine she’s sleeping in the nude tonight no I’m not anyo it’s time for my little nighttime routine who’s ready for a nighttime routine some face wash I literally tried to find the smallest face wash I could find and this is it I’m hoping it’ll be in that oh yeah baby o I always got to wash the face get rid of all that dirt and Gunk collected from the day now I would argue this next item is the most important thing to pack I think ever literally ever it’s the most essential thing it will make or break the entire trip like this literally you need it boom you have no idea what it is inside this are fresh undies I feel weird saying that to the camera I’m like you guys don’t need to know about my underwear but you know just so you know I am hygienic what else do I have in here not again I hate the like literally I can’t I can’t we meet again oh God it takes actual centuries to brush through my entire hair but it’s the only thing that fits okay well hair is brushed and we do in fact have the mini toothpaste oh my God oh my God come on no it’s here I I definitely no it has to be here it literally it has to be here are you kidding me are you K how did I forget a toothbrush I packed this eight times to make sure that I could fit the right amount of things in here and that everything was perfect and two a te and you’re telling me I brought toothpaste but I forgot a freaking toothbrush oh no don’t told my dentist I think that was the shortest nighttime routine I’ve ever had and I’m starving I went pretty much the whole day without eating other than that gelato and the water and I think I’m going to have to buy food tomorrow something that I’ll have to last me throughout the entire challenge because I’m I can’t do this I think I’m getting cranky tomorrow we leave for Switzerland we got $31 to go and I still have a lot of other things that I’ve packed that will help me throughout this trip but I’ll show you them when we get there but until then I need to sleep okay good night now let’s go to [Music] Switzerland you guys a miracle just happened somebody recognized me on the train and brought me Swiss chocolates this is going to be my Lord and saving I didn’t catch his name but stranger on this train I owe you my life all right so me and the world’s smallest backpack have just arrived to Switzerland and obviously I need a place to stay tonight so me and the world’s smallest backpack are going to be staying at the Backpackers Villa son in half I’m walking through the hostel right now here we go there are seven beds in here 2 4 6 sorry I miscounted there’s eight eight there’s eight beds in [Music] here when I initially had booked this hostel I wasn’t expecting a patio let alone this view look at this this looks like it’s straight out of like a wallpaper selection the endif is saying something more beautiful in your life there’s even parag gliders oh my gosh this is out of a dream okay so now that I’ve checked into the hostel I finally have time to go get some freaking food okay I haven’t eaten all day I’m starving I’m running low on my lint chocolate Okay so while I go find food I brought something that will help me on my journey airpods I don’t know it just it makes me feel like the main character walking around through Switzerland okay but I’m going to connect these headphones to my world’s smallest phone and we’re going to get the Vibes going and play [Music] okay so this might be an irresponsible decision but you know what I’m in Switzerland I want to do the local stuff and one of the dishes that Switzerland is known for is cheese and you know how much your girl loves cheese but guess what this one is melted cheese it’s called fondue I don’t even care how much money it costs when in Switzerland baby oh my gosh oh my gosh this looks amazing I know the angle is great right now but in this little pot right here fond de it’s melted cheese we’ve got something else on top of it I’m not oh that’s that’s hot that’s hot it looks like I’m bathing in the fond Dew apparently I’m supposed to take this very long Fork stick it on a potato and just go for it oh you are joking oh my God 3 2 oh no what wow oh my God this is unreal oh my God this is what I’ve been missing out on all my life this fondue cost me 20 Frank extremely worth it I would say that just means that I’m now left with 11 Frank for the rest of the challenge I think we could do it and this is so worth 20 Frank I would I would spend the rest of my money on this all right so I’m back at the hostel I’m currently in the bathroom I don’t want to be too loud because it is late and people are now going to sleep these are the bathrooms in here nothing special and then we’ve got showers communal showers oh my but you know what I think I’m going to shower and then hit the hay because I am exhausted and it’s really late so I have to be quiet late well good morning that was the craziest experience I’ve ever had I fully just slept in a room with strangers this is like nothing I’ve ever done before and before you ask yes people did snore and the worst part is I probably had room in my backpack for earplugs but didn’t didn’t think to bring them but it’s okay anyways the best part about this hostel is they have free breakfast and you best believe I’m taking advantage let’s [Music] go the breakfast of a champion I am so excited to dig in right now it’s not even funny I’m so hungry that I didn’t even bother toasting the bread I just I simply don’t care that’s good okay so I did some damage and right now I’m full which is the first time been full in a very long time you know what this isn’t going to last long and we still have a couple days left to go and nobody said anything about not being able to get seconds you saw nothing all right so I am currently here with Dad and are you absolutely joking this is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been I’ve been to a lot of amazing places but I would say that this is this takes the cake so dad has brought me to the top of this mountain because we are going to be doing an Excursion you’re going to go over there to the top of that come flying down like Superman okay great this sounds awesome let’s do it so how long do we have until our Excursion starts 70 minutes 70 70 not 17 70 so what you’re saying is I have some time all right so because it appears we’ve got some time on our hands I think it’s time to dive back into the backpack and see how we can kill some time you guys have probably been seeing all of my pencils on the outside here but what you don’t know is when you’ve got pencils you also need a couple other things obviously you need paper and of course a mini eraser and don’t forget when your pencils get dull a mini pencil sharpener is this not the cutest thing ever I’m turning myself into Bob Ross with this miniature canvas set and this freaking view I really want to remember this View and honestly I don’t think that the miniature phone is going to be able to really capture the beauty of this place so I’m going to do my best attempt at recreating it using these Widow pencils also I’m not an artist so bear with me I don’t even know what I’m how I’m going to do this but I’m going to try my best this is going to be a piece of cake you just wait to see and in three 2 1 Tada it’s like an exact replica right look we got the snow cap mountains the trees the the houses and and me with my tiny backpack my mom’s definitely putting this on the refrigerator all right I think that’s enough drawing for the day let’s go fly Dad we’re going on that over here oh my God W oh my God it’s a full-on eagle so I guess we’re just flying Like an Eagle let’s do this thing oh my god there they [Music] go we’re doing it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for good morning day four good morning day four I honestly didn’t think that I’d feel this good on day four but it just goes to show you really you don’t have to pack as much the only thing I will say is I feel disgusting my pants are so gross right now the white pants are turning brown and my shirt smells like beo I’ve been able to shower but I haven’t been able to wash my clothes so unfortunately they smell like sweat and grime and dirt so let’s do something about that I’m tired of wearing the same clothes over and over again and I knew that this would happen so I brought something that might help me with [Laughter] that this right here is a scarf this is the scarf that we’re looking at okay sure I could look Chic and go like this or I could turn it into into a new clothing item okay so I saw this on Tik Tok somewhere that you can turn a scarf into a skirt and honestly if I can figure that out and not have to wear these pants all day I would literally love nothing more okay what we’re going to do is we’re going to fold it in half okay so apparently you pull this end okay wait here we go this and then this and bounce it back and forth oh God now my fingers are stuck and then I’m pretty sure you take a hair tie and you just wrap it around just like so and then T what do we think oh God this looks horrible this looks you know what I’ve seen better but it could be a fit you know it it really this could work hey there shy come around here often what a beautiful sunny day to wear a skirt in the fields okay I don’t know about the skirt let’s try a top okay so I have it folded just like so what I have also packed in here is this little guy this is just like one simple little hoop nothing really special about it but it’s going to turn this scarf into a shirt I actually don’t know what I’m doing wait am I doing this right I think we’re getting somewhere folks okay hold oh my God oh my God wait is it working I can’t tell new shirt reveal okay wait why does this actually work it’s actually it’s why is it cute we’re almost ready all I need is I have my mini makeup and I’m just going to I’m going to put on some makeup for today because we’re feeling good we’ve got a new shirt on we’ve got a new outfit on I’ve got my mini BL blush my mini mascara and we’re going to hit the town hello hello can I just do two waters thank you thank you okay update I’m now on a boat the shirt is not my friend okay any any slight breeze I’m flash of the whole world and so I have to put on this sweater to like help me out but on the brighter side of things they gave me these headphones to listen to a virtual tour of what we’re seeing here in Switzerland okay so the scarf and the ring was not a a good idea for me I ended up changing back into my normal outfit that I’ve been wearing for the past 4 days is that a cockro on the ground oh my God look at this oh my God should I flip them over I flip them over here we go I’m going to use my tiny notepad to try and flip them over sorry bud oh God this is freak me out okay I’m trying to be a good samaritan here we go sorry bud I’m just trying to help you out there we go there we go he’s walking he’s walking he’s alive okay anyways we’re nearing the end of our 4-day challenge of surviving off of the world’s smallest backpack for 4 days while backpacking through Europe wow that’s a lot of words but we did it but you know what I’m thinking I might have to try this challenge again but do it for 7 days like a whole week instead of 4 days what about a whole month with this thing okay I’m giving you guys bad ideas I’ve got three Frank left to my name and so I think we’re going to finish this challenge the same way that we started with some yummy oh oh that’s [Music] good nobody bed
