Love these packing tips! I travel with carry-on as often as possible and agree that a great suitcase is key. It sounds and looks like your Samsonite suitcase is a winner!

Wow! I admit traveling full-time since 2014, I’ve not done a weekend trip for a long time but that is load of stuff to pack for 2 or 3 nights! Do you always pack that much? Or is this the max and often less?
But I do love the “Never carry more than you can carry!” mantra – I’ve gotten very strong over the past few years 😉

Happy continued travels!

Packing light and what you can carry is the best tip. I use packing cubes when going for a week or so but not for the weekend trips. I too keep a fold-able bag which can be used during day or for shopping.

I really love the mantra of never packing more than you can carry, though I’m a serial overpacker, and haven’t gotten any better over 10 years of traveling lol! That said, a weekend trip should be easily fitted into just a carryon, and organizing my outfits before packing is a tip which really helps me. And throwing in small little extras for variety is a great idea, also for diversifying an outfit without having to pack a second one – a scarf can be a great way to diversify and stay traveling light. Thanks for your tips!

I never knew this “never more than what you can carry” was a Marine mantra. It’s my principle too. As a solo traveler, I can never bring a lot of clothes as I want to be able to lift/carry them myself. Great tips, and very easy to follow. I always roll my clothes too. Unfortunately, I can’t afford a Samsonite. hahaha

This is so straight forward and practical – and much appreciated! I love my packing cubes, but when it comes to packing for a weekend, I’m all about the “grunt rolls” in my roomy backpack 😉 fantastic tips!!

Same here! I wish I was that organized about outfits on my day to day life though!

In reply to Nisha. Love the backpack idea, especially if your trip involves the outdoors!
