How to pack your stuffs for long holiday travelling into carry-on luggage only in the summer?

With aim of light travelling and avoid to waste money for check-in luggage, travelling with only one hand luggage is a good idea and how to pack carry-on luggage only is always a frequent question that so many people look for to get answers.

So, how to become a minimalist traveler?

The problem of traveling with minimal travel gear is not about space. The only problem is in our heads. To become a minimalist traveler you’ll need to change the way you think about your lifestyle. But don’t worry, it’s not as hard as you might think.

The trick is asking yourself the right questions and answer them truly honest and reasonable. Do you really need this curler? Maybe your hair deserves a vacation too.

Is one t-shirt per each day really necessary? Come on, they will not become that dirty and there is a washing machine in every hotel.

Can’t you really live without those high heels for a few weeks? Maybe you can take one pair of shoes which will be accurate for both: evening in a dress in a city and climbing a volcano? You might say it’s crazy but if you’ll think about it, it will have sense. Simply answer yourself “seriously, cannot I do it without this thing?”

Just pack the things you think it’s really necessary and can be used for multiple purposes. Below you can take a look on my own packing list for 2 month travelling to Vietnam. All of these items found a place in my Metro Rolling luggage which was designed by polyester material with height of 23cm x 42cm x 39cm and weight of 2.3 kg. It really does a great job.
