Every single inch of space matters, and every single item must have a specific purpose (or even multiple purposes)."

Packing lightly demands a methodical, research-driven approach that treats every inch of luggage as valuable and every item as purposeful. Fitting multiple weeks of clothing into a single weekender bag requires precision in selecting versatile garments and accessories that match the destination and activities.

Prioritize multifunctional pieces and tested luggage or packing tools that specifically save space and enhance organization.
