An Ultimate Guide to Traveling Light

Packing properly can be tough. But if you pack smarter and lighter, your travel becomes so much easier and more enjoyable.

A minimalist approach can help you be comfortable and more mobile. By bringing carry-on-sized things, you can save a great deal of money in extra check-in fees as well as skip the wait at baggage claim.

The best way to avoid overpacking is to get a smaller bag that forces you to prioritize. Most carry-on sized bags that are a perfect size if you are staying in hostels or hotels.

While regular luggage is fine for a holiday in a resort, you need a backpack if you’re going to be traveling around. A backpack can be easily put in the back of a tuk-tuk or a pick-up truck. You can tuck it under your seat in a bus, or inside a locker.

To pack light, follow these simple principles:

·         Pack the must-haves, not the maybes
Take out all your gear. Think hard about every item, then leave anything you don’t absolutely need. Carrying more stuff may ‘feel’ safer but resist the urge to be overprepared.

Don’t pack more than a week’s clothing. Pick some versatile items with a simple color palette for easy mix-and-match.

·         Bring versatile items
Focus on items that are multiple uses or can be used in various ways. Some gear can be rented locally or you could find a temporary fix rather than carrying something for a one-time use.

·         Do not wait to pack at the last moment. If you stress out, you may stuff your bag too full.

·         Keep a quarter of your bag empty for easy loading and unloading and to store souvenirs or gifts.
