I travel internationally once a month and in the country 2-3. I take a small duffel that slides under the seat. With experience and intention ANYONE can get there. Not having to check a bag or lug it around to your final destination is gold. Multi leg international trips with security checks is a breeze. The travel part of traveling is infinitely easier.
I so agree! I went on a 10 day trip to Boston with just the smallest of the 3 piece luggage set we own, smaller than the typical carryon bag. I too left the computer behind knowing I won't have time to work, I didn't bring the "just in case" extra books, etc. and I bought a capsule wardrobe to mix and match for 5 days and did laundry halfway through the trip. Loved it! I can't imagine packing one or two big suitcases anymore - I love leaving that comfort zone of worrying about "what if".
For Lindsay's question I have a random Act of Kindness budget. I am teaching my kids to be kind not a doormat. But more importantly, that you can be kind without spending a ton of money. Sometimes the kindest things are free.
On a separate note, there is a lot of that fear related to what I see packed in a diaper bag. I got rid of the diaper bag concept and it was so freeing. I experimented with what if I just put a spare diaper in the car and went about my day? It was so freeing.
A carry on for 2 weeks on my last trip to Europe with weather going from 32 to 75F. Shoes and or boots take most of the space. As a woman I often brought a lot of in case for that time of the month and I had to buy some in Greece from a man clerk at a convenience store near the hotel who spoke only greec. That is the beauty and joy of travelling. Always expect the non expanctacy. Love you guys xx
I traveled across Scandinavia using only a Rick Steve's backpack that had plenty of room for everything I needed. For clothing, I used those vacuum pack bags that you roll up to remove the air and then they reinflate once you unzip them. Those made all the difference so the bag wasn't really thick and overpacked. Naturally I was able to carry it onto the plane as well as the ferries, the train, city buses, and the canal boat in Sweden. It was extremely efficient compared to when I used to take suitcases and a carry-on bag.
I have a ScottEvest Jacket that I also use for travel. So I carry no luggage at all, al my stuff is in the scottevest. When I was traveling in China, in the '90's, I had a small number of clothes with me. I did buy some tshirts there and a pair of pants and left the ones that I took with me China behind there. I did get some strange looks while traveling, you have no bag, just a small jacket with a lot of stuffed pockets? like is that all you have? Sure. I am now on my second ScottEvest jacket . Still love it.
I have only traveled in country and my carry-on costs $4 used and has wheels. If I buy anything, I ship it back home because it is cheaper than paying for a check-on bag and no airport security issues. Bring comfortable socks and underwear that can dry overnight. The way around a very limited wardrobe, is to never meet with the same person twice. lol
Rick Steves said it well. (paraphrasing) Overpacking is an American problem because, when we travel, we tend to pack for the worst-case scenario. We need to start packing for the best-case scenario. If you end up needing something along the way, part of the adventure is trying to find one!

How much do you pack when you travel?

You realise how much you really do have when you don't know what and how much to pack and it takes all your time and mental energy ❤️🙏

I've been traveling with the Boarding Blue bag for years. It's max dimensions for Personal Item.
