I recently read a case study about someone traveling through 5 countries with just a carry-on, and it's seriously making me rethink my packing habits. The biggest challenge they seemed to face was versatility - needing outfits that could work in different climates and for different occasions, from hiking to a nice dinner. They mentioned a lot of layering and neutral colors, which makes sense.
It really got me thinking about the "just in case" items I always pack but never actually use. they highlighted the importance of a well-chosen capsule wardrobe and sticking to a strict color palette to maximize outfit combinations.Apparently, they even managed to fit a small, portable clothesline which seems like a game-changer for longer trips!
Has anyone else tried a similar minimalist approach to travel? What were your biggest challenges, and what are your go-to items that are absolutely essential for a carry-on only trip? I'm especially curious about shoe recommendations!
