For years, I was keen to fit all my stuff into a carry-on when going on shorter trips around Europe. Initially, I did it since my cheapie-cheap flights did not include checking in luggage. But lately, also regular airlines charge extra for checking your baggage. However, money is not the only valid reason for minimizing your baggage: It’s so much easier to travel light.
First, I managed to take a couple of shorter trips around Europe with hand luggage only. Later, I even travelled around Sri Lanka, Japan, and Argentina just with a carry-on for weeks. Since then, I have never used a larger piece of luggage again. Having only a small carry-on with you is so much more comfortable and manageable on buses’n’trains.
Hence, packing light and still travelling in style became my credo.
In this post, I let you take a peek at my packing list.
