Browsing Tag Packing Light
What did I wear from my carry-on?
On a 9-day trip to Germany, I brought one carry-on and a personal item (backpack). Even though I packed light, there were still multiple items I didn’t even touch. I usually bring one or two extra shirts because they’re lightweight and if you dump coffee all down the front of one (which TBH is a real concern of mine), I want to ensure I’m prepared. Of course, pants are another story. I only bring two pairs of pants. So if I stain them, it’s tough luck for me! I ended up wearing the same few pieces over and over again, which is the idea.
Travel product review: jimmyCASE
If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I’m big on traveling light. I like items that are versatile and compact and make my life easier. That’s why I was excited when I was approached by jimmyCASE about reviewing one of their products. I made the decision when I started blogging to only endorse products or services that I have personally used and find helpful. I have been contacted by many companies wanting to advertise on this blog and my response is pretty simple: if I’ve used it and I like it, I’ll share with others! jimmyCASE was confident I would like their product. And they were right.
Creating a trip wardrobe
It can be a challenge to select which items you’re going to bring on a trip, especially when you’re packing light. Each item needs to mix and match, and go with the other items you’re bringing. When I shop, I try to purchase items that are versatile and go with a lot. I’ve gotten in the habit of thinking about my clothing purchases in light of travel. This means when it’s time to start packing for the trip, it’s easier to create outfit combinations.
Tips for packing in the winter
Which takes up more room: a down coat or a bikini? Packing for winter weather can sometimes be a drag, because it means you can’t fit as many items as you would if you were going to a beach destination. You have to be more selective of items, and try to figure out which items will keep you warm without weighing down and bulking out your suitcase.
Lightweight options are key, as well as thinking outside the box in how you can stay warm, without staying bulky.
How to pack a carry-on (first-timer’s guide)
If you’ve never tried to pack only with a carry-on, then read on. This article is for you. This website is filled with articles on how to pack light. I just went through past posts I’ve written on this subject, and there’s a lot. However, I’ve heard from a few people recently how much these tips have been helpful to them, and I wanted to expand on this. I thought it’s finally time to post this video I made TWO YEARS ago. It’s been ready to post for two years, and for some reason, I’ve never uploaded it. But now, it’s finally up on YouTube.
