Minimalist Packing Goals:

Be ra onal – It`s a good idea to pack things that you will use normally and not
what you might wear/use `if` the situa on arises. Keep in mind where you are
going, what kind of transporta on you will be using and what suits the weather.

Ditch the unnecessary things – You can avoid carrying shampoo/condi oner,
soap, toothpaste etc. as most Hotels will provide you with these basic things. If
you are backpacking then carrying things like jewelry, bulky towels, camera lens,
extra toiletries are a total waste of space and energy.

Use all the space you have – roll your clothes, put socks inside your shoes, use
small refill cosme c bo les for shampoo/condi oner/body wash/face wash etc.

Focus on comfort – Instead of carrying clothes which are fashionable, go for

comfortable a re.
