Become a Pro Light Packer

Packing light and traveling like a pro is a skill that you can learn, not something you’re born with.

I’ve had to learn this from years of traveling the world and from doing it wrong a lot before getting it down to a mini science. My one big conclusion is that it’s best not to check in luggage whenever you can help it.

So in this video, I show you the following in a step-by-step process:

1. How to think about your packing and your travel needs.
2. How to set aside everything you need beforehand.
3. How to decide on your airplane and travel clothes first.
4. How to choose the best luggage for best travel experience.
5. How to roll your clothes instead of folding them for maximum space usage.
6. How to use packing cubes to organize your packing even further.
7. How to organize all of your essentials in a clean and hygienic way.
8. How to take all of your makeup and toiletries without going overboard.
9. How to feel good and confident about not checking in luggage.
