What's usually in your carry-on?
My carry-on usually has my important gadgets like laptop, camera, powerbank, smartphones and chargers.
Tell us about the usual type of clothes you bring when travelling
The clothes I bring really depends on the destination but whenever I travel to Southeast Asia, I normally bring light clothing (shorts, and light coloured shirts)
What's the best packing tip anyone has given you? Who gave it?
Bring clothes with light materials because its easy to wash and it can dry overnight. Avoid bringing too many gadgets. I learned it from my previous trips and from my fellow travelers.
What is the best thing about packing light?
Apart from the risk of paying for the excess baggage, you can also avoid checking in your luggage if you pack light and bring a hand carry bag.
How does your packing for a travel routine look like?
I always have a blank checklist to make sure I don't forget anything. I also pack an hour before I leave my place.
How do you deal with "excess baggage" situations?
I never had issues with excess baggage yet. What's your best-kept packing secret? If i need to bring huge number of clothes, I always use Vacuum Compression Bags.
