Travel Light Philosophy

I have traveled to fifteen countries with a single 30L backpack. Here is why.

The Rules

• Pack for one week, do laundry on the road
• Three shirts, two pants, one jacket, five pairs of socks
• Everything must serve at least two purposes

What You Gain

• Freedom of movement — no checked bags, no waiting
• Less decision fatigue — fewer options each day
• You realize you need much less than you think

The first trip feels hard. By the third, you wonder why you ever checked a suitcase.
