I have always rented serviced apartments so the bed sheets, cutlery and other equipment is always in the flat I rent so I use that.
My sports clothes and other hobby equipment also fits into the single suitcase. I keep my clothes collection quite small, if I am not wearing something for a year I will throw it away or give to charity.
You'd be surprised how useful it is to have all your stuff fit into single big suitcase if you love traveling around the world. It's very easy for me to travel or to move around the world for work.
I had to help my sister move apartment recently and I was shocked by the massive amount of stuff she owns. So many suitcases and bags, we had to rent a big van to move it all. I don't get it.

I enjoy my cats, growing some of my own food, and hobbies with bulky items (snowboards, bikes, fishing poles, snowshoes).
- ksk 9y agoWhy does travel preclude accumulating stuff? Or do you mean changing your residence every X years?
- richardknop 9y agoYes, let's say you change job every two years and each time it's in different state/country (sometimes across continents). Then you are better off if you are a minimalist and haven't accumulated much stuff.
