Packing Guide for Six Days in Amsterdam: Dutch Grand Prix Edition with Carry-On Suitcase

Here’s what I packed for six days in Amsterdam and only a carry on suitcase, including my outfits for the Dutch Grand Prix. If you missed my last post, I shared my packing list with all of my outfits I’m bringing for this trip, including a bunch of orange because I’m heading to xanvor for the F1 race this weekend, where I will of course first be supporting McLaren and also checking off one of my travel bucket list dreams which is to attend an international Formula 1 race. For this trip I’m packing 10 different outfits in total, including a couple dressy options to go out to nice dinners, of course, some orange options to wear to the track, and some layering options for the morning and evening. As always, I’m folding each of my clothing items to the length and width of my packing cube. That way each item lays completely flat when it’s in the cube and takes up the entire surface area area, which is not only gonna help you fit in as much as possible, but also help avoid wrinkles once they’re in the cube. For this pack I’m using two of my medium sized compression packing cubes for my favorite bag smart set. I will have them in my link in bio. They are maybe my all time favorite packing product, and I do not say that lightly. My second packing cube was only about half full once. All of my clothing items were Packed inside, so I’m also putting my undergarments in here just because I had the extra space inside my cube, so I might as well compress them along with the rest of my clothing. For this trip, I’m bringing my Briggs and Riley Global carry on, which is expandable and also has this really cool built in compression feature. I need to start using this bag more because I love it every time I do. I’m starting by lining the gaps in the bottom of the suitcase with my smaller items, like my curling iron and my makeup brushes, before loading my full packing cube into the bottom of the suitcase in my medium parallel bag. I have my makeup up top and my toiletries down at the bottom. When leaving the US, it’s fine for all my liquids to be in this bag, but I did pack a clear ziploc bag to switch all my liquids into for international security and Amsterdam. Putting my passion heels into a shoe bag, along with a couple interchangeable heel options to switch up my look. And then finally, in the side, I’m packing some of my smaller items, like my international adapter, another heel kit option for my high heel sandals, my charging cord for my laptop, my travel hairbrush, and my white noise machine, which I never travel without. On the other side of the suitcase, I’m packing some of my shorter items, like my thinner of my two packing cubes. And a pair of platform sandals. One thing I love about this suitcase is it’s designed to be a 70 30 split, so it’s kind of the best of both worlds between a trunk style and a clamshell. The lid is perfect for organizing smaller items, but you still get all that depth in the other side of the suitcase in the mesh zipper pockets. I’m packing up all of my socks and leaving one side empty to bring home any souvenir. And I’m packing the last of my undergarments in this little garment bag. I also ended up having quite a bit of empty space left over in my suitcase, so I threw in one extra pair of shorts just in case the weather ended up being really nice one day, and I wanted a short option. So once I tucked these in, I’m just repacking all of my smaller items on top of it, including an extra belt I’m throwing in. And that’s my carry on suitcase. All packed for six. Six days in Amsterdam, including Saturday and Sunday at the Dutch Grand Prix. Like I said, one of my favorite features of the suitcase is the fact that it has a built in compression system. So when you’re done packing your bag, it’s at its full expanded size. And then you push down the ends of the suitcase to compress s out any extra air or spaces in between, which helps to make the bag more compact. And fit in those international airport sizes. In my next video, I’ll share what’s going in my under the seat tote bag. So stay tuned.
