Packing Light for Longer

What I keep, what I leave, and how traveling with less made room for better days on the road.

Every trip taught me the same lesson more clearly: I rarely miss what I left behind, and I always feel the weight of what I brought for no reason.

A capsule wardrobe, one good notebook, and shoes I can walk in for hours. That is most of it. The rest is curiosity.

Packing light is not a contest. It is a way of making travel feel like living, not hauling.
