  1. I used to master the art of packing lately but lately since I am also rushing to pack my stuff I just bring extra clothes just in case I miss on something.

  4. Hmmm. I really do pack light when I travel but only when I travel with family members because with them I'm not embarrassed to  have only one pair of pants that I recycle over and over again :D

  8. This would be great for frequent travelers. Yet, its hard for me to do this as I do always carry my DSLR which is almost as heavy as my baby. :D

  9. Some psychology there - the bigger the bag, the bigger the chance of being tempted to pack more.

  18. I think packing lightly and smartly is one of the first things a traveler needs to learn. It will keep a traveler footloose.

  20. Thanks for sharing this. I honestly dont know how to pack light. My bag is always full. Overnight or 1 day is not even in my vocabulary. Overnight means at least 3days to me. Haha!

  21. Not a bad idea too, Franc. I mean, I don't think that could be considered as overpacking na. :)

  22. Hehehe.. yes Gemma, rolling our clothing pieces really helps save space. I've been doing it for years, and it always surprises how much space is left for me to use. :) And wow, 5-day trip!!! Have fun! :)

  26. True -- we should definitely pack all our essentials. And yes, this video was super helpful. :)

  27. Good strategy too! I usually pack enough clothes, and then just buy tops along the way when the need arises. :)

  28. Awww.. your baby is now as heavy as your DSLR? What's your camera po ba? :)

  29. You are right about that too.. but it also takes some form of discipline. I bring a backpack with me whenever I travel. But I make sure to leave some space too, especially for souvenirs that I may want to buy along the way.

  36. I used to be an overpacker too and it would always break my back! Hahaha.. you should try to minimize the load inside your luggage/bag if you can. It would also help to plot out your outfit for each day of your travel. :)
