      FOREWORD

      Want to travel the world but not be burdened by heavy luggage? Don't know what to pack and think you'll need your kitchen sink?

      There are ways to travel as light as for a day trip and still have everything you need on the other side of the world. Spend more time exploring and less packing and unpacking. Less, in this case, really is more.

      Follow me in this journey through what we really need and what we can easily do without. In this guide I share the what, the why and the how of light packing.

From Australia to Argentina, from Brazil to India, Costa Rica to Indonesia, France to South Africa, Romania to Morocco, Russia to the Caribbean, Turkey to Sri Lanka and plenty between. Each journey, taught me to trim and remould my luggage to ensure that I can travel at length without being hindered by heavy bags, still having enough to be comfortable. The result? A baggage (☺) of experience I want to share with you to make
