How I Pack Light for Solo Travel | Carry-On Only
Packing for a trip doesn’t have to be stressful — and you definitely don’t need to overpack or have multiple options. In this video, I share how I’ve learned to travel with just a carry-on for most of my trips, along with practical tips to help you pack lighter, feel more organised, and actually enjoy your travels. If you’re new to solo travel or want to feel more confident and prepared, packing light is one of the easiest ways to make your trip feel simpler and more manageable. I also share my personal approach to planning outfits, why I don’t use packing cubes, and how being mindful of local customs can help you pack smarter and feel more comfortable when you arrive.
