A heavy bag makes a trip harder. You carry it through stations, up stairs, and onto buses. So many travelers learn one simple rule: pack light.
Start by laying out everything you think you need. Then remove things you are unlikely to use. Keep essential items, such as medicine and travel papers. Choose a few items in colors that match, so you can mix them. Wear your heaviest shoes on the plane instead of packing them. Try rolling clothes or folding them neatly to fit your bag. Keep what is important close: your papers, your money, and your phone.
A light bag is easy to carry and quick to pack. You have less to move between places and fewer things to organize. The right amount depends on the trip, but carrying only what you need can make travel easier.
