Once you learn how to travel light as a long-term traveller, you will never return to consistently carrying large suitcases. Packing light is not only good for your wallet (and your back), it’s also freeing for your mind. You realise just how little you need to survive and thrive!
When we decided to embark on a 15-month-long Workaway adventure in Southeast Asia, the first concrete decision we made was to travel with nothing but our hand luggage. the swift transit from the gate to your destination and vice versa, the freedom that comes with the ability to pack up your entire life within minutes, wandering around in sweltering temperatures without too much hassle… Not to mention the money we would save on flights!
