Let’s talk about packing 🎒When I’m away on a short trip (2-5 days), I tend to bring only a backpack with me, with all the must-have stuff I know I’d need. For some reason that dear backpack of mine often becomes a subject of many questions - I can’t recall how many times I have been asked ‘Is that all you have?’ or ‘Where is your luggage!?’ 😂 I’m then like ‘Ekhm… yeah 🤨’, ‘Why do you need 2 bags for a 3-days trip?’ or ‘I’m not going to a fashion week’ 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, I prefer to travel light, have my hands free, and all the belongings with me everywhere I go. I am totally okay with wearing almost the same stuff most of the days as, for me, travelling is about living, exploring, experiencing and documenting new places and cultures. Besides, I believe we wear 20% of all our clothes 80% of times anyway 😉

I wasn’t always like that. Years ago I did a couple of short trips with friends carrying a big suitcase with me - full of clothes I didn’t even wear, cosmetics I didn’t even use, accessories I didn’t even take out, etc. Now I only travel (on short trips) with stuff I’m 100% certain I’d use, no excuses. The less, the better ❤️

What are your packing tips? Are you more of a minimalist or always bring a big suitcase with you? 👀
