Hi everyone! I’m sorry it has taken me so long to write
another post. It took me a while to get
into a writing groove again in the new year with so much going on! I decided to just dive in with a thought on
traveling light.
My husband and I took a ten day trip and wanted to pack as
lightly as possible. We knew we would
have access to laundry, and didn’t have enough time to see most friends and
family more than once. So, we packed for
5 days only. In addition, I made sure to
pack outfits that could mix and match and allow me to take even less.
My suitcase included the following:
2 pairs of jeans (I wore one pair on the plane)
2 sweaters
1 blouse
2 T shirts
1 camisole
1 sweater dress
1 pair of leggings
1 cardigan
1 Sweatshirt (wore on the plane)
Undergarments/Socks for 5 days
2 necklaces
2 pairs of earrings
1 pair of sneakers (wore on the plane)
1 pair boots
Travel sized toiletries
Only essentials for make up (example: no need for 5
different colored eye shadows, 1 was enough)
The only carry-on I brought was my purse with a good book. My first trans-Atlantic flight without a
carry-on suitcase!
I found that traveling light with only the essentials made
the whole trip simpler and more enjoyable.
I did not have to over think what I was going to wear each day, and the
limited options actually felt really good!
Do you have any tips or tricks on how you travel light? Please share your thoughts!
