The lighter your bag, the lighter the trip feels. These are the rules we come back to.
Lay it out, then remove a third
Put everything you think you need on the bed. Then take away a third. You'll rarely miss it.
Pack in kits
Small pouches for cables, toiletries, and documents mean you never unpack the whole bag to find one thing.
Keep one comfort item
A good eye mask, a favourite scarf, a proper water bottle. One small comfort makes a long journey noticeably easier.
Reset on arrival
Unpack the kits into their places the moment you arrive. Ten minutes of order and the room feels like yours.
