After years and years of traveling - if it can’t fit into a really small “school size” backpack I’m leaving it behind. Laundries are everywhere. Toiletries are everywhere. And in a pinch you can do a wash almost anywhere. There is an amazing feeling walking past the people at the baggage carousel waiting for the bags to even come off the plane — while you’re heading outside to grab a taxi. The feeling is palpable when you’re checking in and the attendant asks “where is your luggage” and smiles knowingly when you point your thumb at your shoulders. For travel, minimalism is underrated and most of the stuff we take we usually never use.
