Travel light is what we all want when we are travelling either for business or for fun. Here are some great tips on how to travel light? Recall those trips when you wanted to travel at the speed of light but with all the luggage you had – that dream was light years ahead. Remember those trips on which you were supposed to have fun but ended up carrying your luggage half the time and feeling drained. This happens because we do not plan our luggage properly. We tend to think that we would wear so many clothes or eat so much but it doesn’t happen. We are on a vacation not to a party where we go to showcase our wardrobe or eating capacity.
Packing light will ensure that you have fewer problems while travelling. You will not have to haggle or request fellow passengers for sharing their luggage space. Neither will you have to ask for help from the coolies at railway platforms nor will you get fleeced by them.

- Take clothes which can be worn in contrast to each other rater than in pairs. This would save some space.
- Pick up clothes which are wash-n-wear types and do not take too long too dry. This is applicable not only in rainy season but in all the other seasons.
- Do not stuff your luggage with water bottles. You can buy mineral water and throw them after use. This would reduce the bulk of your luggage.
- Carry paper plates, plastic spoons and forks to avoid extra weight.
- Pack shoes which you can wear with every dress and are comfortable too. Do not pack too many shoes as they occupy a lot of space.
