Unpack With Me After My Trip
A2 English listening practice · American English · Curated for beginners
What does 'unpack with me' mean on YouTube and TikTok?
Unpack with me is the title of a whole YouTube and TikTok video genre. The host opens a suitcase after a trip, sorts dirty clothes, puts clean things back in drawers, and the viewer just watches. The format started with Get Ready With Me (GRWM) and grew into Clean With Me, Cook With Me, Pack With Me, and now Unpack With Me.
In this clip, Kaitlyn Johnson opens with: « I am usually the type of person to unpack as soon as I get home ». She skipped it last night and now does the whole video the next morning, sorting clean from dirty and noting: « I’m leaving for another trip in literally three days, so I’m gonna keep this stuff all packed ».
