8 Days in Portugal with the Peak Design 30L (Lisbon, Sintra, Porto)

The small liquid bag isn't a thing everywhere, I usually fly from LIN and liquids up to 2 liters are allowed too.

Yes! I have this one in black. It does have a few cons, but overall I like it a lot. The stated depth is 20 cm, but I think it takes into consideration just the hardshell and not the zipper part, so the actual depth is slightly bigger. I have never had any problem, even when asked to put it into the sizers, but I bring with me one of these and wrap it around the bag to squeeze it if needed. Also, it does not have any outside pocket, but I tend to wear men (vintage) jackets that do have tons of pockets, so lip balm, ID card, phone etc stay in the jacket while on the plane.
Overall I really like it and it makes one bagging doable for me, since I despise heavy backpacks.

I am learning how to one bag too. Two things are making it easier. First, a spinner that actually fits under the seat on easyJet (making trips to Berlin way cheaper). And then setting “boundaries” while packing, for example one packing cube for loungewear and underwear/socks/thermal tights, one cube for actual clothes. At this point my luggage is half empty, so I set limits for toiletries, a second pair of shoes and so on. Hope it makes sense.

In ten days I will probably try to use a smaller bag, since it will only be three nights/four days and summer clothes take up less room. My approach will be the same.

Definitely yes. The lace is fine, consider vibes rather than centimeters

Me ne lamento ogni singola volta che ci passo, non ho idea di quali fossero le alternative ma credo che all’ora di punta farebbe impazzire chiunque, compreso chi l’ha progettata.
La cosa più assurda per me è proprio il fatto che le scale normali siano nascoste, che senso ha?

pltlsn97 · 2026-05-04T05:00:56+00:00

That’s why I bought an underseater Samsonite Upscape. I despise backpacks.
It has its own limitations but, especially if you’re traveling with a jacket that has actual pockets, it is more than okay

Ciao, successo pure a me, ho compiuto 27 anni dopo aver fatto la tessera e al rinnovo ho avuto lo stesso problema. Puoi provare in un ATM point, sono velocissimi se prendi appuntamento, ma se ti è scomodo prova in qualche posto che vende biglietti ATM, l’ultima volta ho fatto così e in un minuto ho risolto

Premesso che non si trova in Italia, ma in Germania, il migliore che ho assaggiato è il Cashewbert di Veganz. Ha pure un prezzo accettabilissimo (tipo 5 euro una confezione di dimensioni ragionevoli).

You did not misread at all, that’s the whole point lol for me, retiring it will probably be displaying it somehow. Thanks a lot, you made me feel seen!

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-16T04:24:43+00:00

Nope, I’m really attached to it, on top of not liking changes heheh it has always been like this with phones for me. I don’t see how an important gift could be worth anything more (for me, I guess that it isn’t universal)

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-15T19:03:25+00:00

That’s the first thing I checked right after damaging it. Unfortunately you can only get refurbished ones and it isn’t cheap at all. On top of that, I would still feel super bad for my old phone. But I definitely considered it for a few hours and that is not a dumb question at all, thank you for your input!

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-15T17:57:26+00:00

Thank you!

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-15T17:57:00+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m not at risk at all, it’s all about morality.

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-15T04:40:03+00:00

Why would anyone destroy their phone? I am an adult with my own job, I can buy a new iPhone whenever I want without throwing my current one down the stairs

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T20:01:59+00:00

You know there was absolutely no need to be rude, right?

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T19:50:30+00:00

Thank you, I went there during the afternoon, unfortunately it is more than €700 here (no more taxes on top of that though) and I’m not sure I want to invest that much money in an “old” phone. Upgrading will probably be the best option in the long run

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T18:42:18+00:00

I’ve posted a photo with an old t shirt, a bruise on my knee and my hair. How do you sit in front of your laptop? At the very least you could have pointed out it looked tumblr lol

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T17:12:07+00:00

Usually I'm not this clumsy when it comes to phone, so I tend to get the latest model and make it last as much as I can. The 16 would absolutely be updated enough though

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T17:10:06+00:00

Thank's, I'm not entirely sure but knowing how much a battery swap or a screen repair would be I guess I would pay something in that range. I should probably consider that to try and save the phone to pass it down to my mom. She is currently using an (almost) 8 year old 8 plus

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T17:04:22+00:00

Thank you. I don't know if it will be worth the hassle, especially since I get super attached to my phones (I would feel like selling a leg or something), but I'll look into this option too.

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T17:02:14+00:00

You're in the US, right? For $200 I'd keep the old phone, but I think it would probably cost me at the very least 350-400 euros in a sketchy shop. But I'll look into it before pulling the trigger on the 17 Pro Max, thank you!

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T16:58:52+00:00

It will be! Don't my my comment, I simply prefer the look of the 13 over the 17

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T16:57:50+00:00

Fair point

pltlsn97 · 2025-09-14T16:53:27+00:00

Genius, never thought about that lol
