PACKING LIGHT: 5 KG CARRY ON

PACKING LIGHT: 5 KG CARRY ON

Why do I prefer packing light?

 First things first reason behind why I wanted to pack light it’s because I love backpacking where I can enjoy traveling from land, water and air easily. It’s hard traveling with heavy loads. As a female solo traveler there’s a lot thing that I consider, I read a lot of post that there’s a number of people who lost their belongings whenever they travel with a lot of things and that’s one thing that I don’t like to happen to me. Going solo sometimes taught me how to be independent since I’m all alone I need to learn how to watch over my things while I enjoy my travel experience. No one will help me carry my things so better packing light would be the best option for me to enjoy travel without any hassle. Think of the important things that you’ll bring along your trip. Don’t bring any unnecessary things with you. It’s same as knowing your wants versus needs. Remember the key to packing light is bringing the things you need as you travel. You don’t need to bring 5 pairs of swimwear even though you planned for a summer vacation on a beach. Just bring a couple pair then you can just wash it, hang and repeat. It’ll save you space plus it will avoid having a bulky backpack. You can still have some space for more important things during your travel.
