Note the word 'usually.' But also I've traveled for a month (us to India) from my backpack. One week of clothes, a laptop, some cables, notebook and pens, perhaps a couple more books, a few toiletries. And still some room for one 'fun' thing, like a small synthesizer to jam on. It's a bit like ultralight backpacking; you can cut down quite a lot one you get in the mindset. I definitely don't claim it works for everyone... But probably most people can travel rather lighter than they normally do. Fwiw, my travel backpack is pretty similar to this one. Definitely a bit bigger than the standard backpack, much smaller than a hiking backpack, and rather smaller than a roller bag. https://www.chromeindustries.com/product/hondo-backpack/BG-219.html?dwvar_BG-219_color=ALLB&dwvar_BG-219_size=NA&cgid=view_all_bags https://www.chromeindustries.com/product/hondo-backpack/BG-2...
