Packing light is once again& a la mode. As the author Antoine de
Saint-Exupery once said: 'He who would travel happily, must travel
light.' When it comes to your suitcase, less really is more, leaving you
light on your feet and free to immerse yourself in local culture and
nature without being weighed down. However, regarded as an art, a
science, or even a necessary evil, packing is a task all travellers must
tackle before their journey even begins, yet not many of us, do it well
or approach it with any sense of pleasure.
Let us fix that! Step away from that mountainous pile of clothing, get
up off that suitcase you're trying to squash shut, and allow this book
to unclutter your path to luggage liberation. Indeed, packing light can
take more time and strategy. Happily, this guide will teach you the
skills to decide what is absolutely necessary and what can be done
without.
Happy packing!
