Why travelling light is GOLD. 🧳 🎒
On our recent 6 week trip to Europe my family and I decided to travel carrying on only carry on luggage and why we loved it and how it made our trip even better.
Advantages: ✈
🚊 Convenience: Carrying only a small, lightweight bag allowed us to move easily through airports, train stations, and cobbled stone roads. We navigated crowded areas, 1000’s of stairs & escalators without being weighed down by bully bags. It simplified our travel experience.
⏰ Time-saving: With carry-on luggage, we skipped the check in process and long wait at the baggage claim area, eliminating the wait for our bags to arrive. This saved and made king travel days easier.
💴 Cost-effectiveness: Many airlines charge additional fees for checked baggage, and these fees can add up, especially if you're traveling as a family. By sticking to carry-on luggage, we avoided extra charges.
🏃🏼♀ Freedom of movement: Traveling light allowed us to be more flexible and spontaneous in our itinerary. We could easily switch between different modes of transportation, hop on public buses, ferries or trains without worrying about storing or managing large suitcases. It provided us of the freedom to explore and move around with ease.
👜Avoiding lost or damaged luggage: Having our belongings with us we reduced the risk of losing our luggage or having it damaged during transit. Lost baggage can be a major inconvenience,especially if you are moving around.
😃 Minimal packing stress: With limited space in your carry-on bag, you're forced to prioritize and pack only the essentials. This can be liberating as it eliminates the stress and indecision that often comes with overpacking. We spent less time packing & unpacking, allowing us to focus on enjoying our trip.
💼 Easy access to belongings: When you have everything you need within arm's reach, we could quickly access our belongings during the journey.
👣 Environmental impact: By traveling light, we reduced our carbon footprint. Carrying less weight on planes means less fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. It's a small step towards sustainable travel and contributing to a greener planet.
Our traveling experience with carry-on luggage was a positive one. 🥰
