In this video, we show you what to pack for full time travel in carry on only. It wasn’t long after we left for our first year of full-time travel that we began realizing the packing mistakes we were making. Over the next 7 months of travel, we continued to learn and recently made a trip home to regroup and adjust our packing to carry-on only.
#packingtips #traveltips2022 #traveltips
Traveling carry-on only for long-term travel can be scary out the gate – what if you forget something, will I be okay with so few choices of clothing? We will explain how we made the mistake of taking WAY too much and then the feeling of being stuck carrying it all around for months until we could regroup and reorganize. Knowing what you need to pack, what you should leave behind, and what you can’t purchase on the road is key. We will explain the many benefits of traveling with carry-on only and tips on what you should no longer carry in your bags for long-term travel.
We hope the information we share from our experience (and the mistakes we made) will help you make the decision if traveling carry-on only is the right decision for you.
