Travel Light

Oh I just love onebag.com, a site dedicated to the art and science of traveling light.
I enjoy traveling light, and I barely ever check luggage.
Packing light doesn’t just reduce hassle, it’s also good for the environment!
Getting in the habit of lightening your load means less stuff, which means less waste, and it also means that less energy is needed to transport you to your destination.

Doug Dyment, the author of onebag.com, gives you a detailed analysis of everything from what to pack, what to pack it in, and how to pack.
Dyment’s clever check list is available here.
This information is really handy when you travel extensively.
