But how to make it work?
Maybe youre an over-packer who always thinks you have to travel with a checked bag.
Maybe youve always wanted to know how those backpackers can get a months worth of items in one carry-on.
Its an art, but it can be done.
Decide what to pack
First, create a checklist for yourself.
There are certain items thatif misplaced, ruined or eaten by a bearyou can always replace.
Underwear, socks and toiletries dont need to fill the space of your bagjust pack enough for your stay.
Then dress them up or down as needed with accessories.
For bulkier items like a coat or boots, wear them instead of packing them.
A coat can always be used as a substitute pillow or blanket on the flight.
Roll your clothes
I admit, Ive always been a folder of clothes.
I didnt know that rolling them was even a concept, yet here we are, learning together.
It also makes repacking a much faster process.
Visually, they look like square/rectangular fabric versions of tupperware, but sized for clothing.
This will reduce the risk of them spilling or leaking.
The easiest way to do that is to stick to one color palette.
This will keep you from wanting to put everything you have in your closet into your carry-on.
The most important thing to remember is to keep it simple and develop a system.
Traveling involves a lot of moving parts.
