Packing: Part 1 - Choosing the right bag (updated June 2025)

3/14/2024

Introducing the first in a series of blog posts focusing on the art of packing.
This initial post looks at how to choose the perfect bag for your travel adventures, and offers practical advice drawn from my personal journeys and years of packing mishaps.

​When it comes to travelling, the right luggage can make all the difference. As a seasoned traveller, I understand that different types of luggage suit different trips. Unfortunately, one size does not fit all when it comes to travel bags.
 
The duration, purpose, and destination of my travels play a crucial role in determining the most suitable type of luggage to bring along.

The benefits of traveling carry-on are undeniable.

It saves time at the airport by avoiding checked luggage lines and waiting to collect baggage at your destination, saves money on baggage fees and minimises the risk of lost or delayed luggage.


Complying with carry-on restrictions encourages me to pack efficiently and not overpack with items “just in case”. A lighter load to carry is then easier to navigate through crowded airports and on public transport, and you’re less likely to lose something when you don’t have too much with you.
 
Even on extended trips, you can manage with less stuff; pack quick drying clothes as there will always be opportunities to do laundry during the trip, and decant all those liquids.

If I can, whether I am travelling for 3 days or 3 months,  I will always travel with a carry-on sized bag.
