Gone are the days when travelers use to bring trunks or luggage full of clothing. Even those who are traveling long-term such as 6 months at a time travel light today. With the new airport security laws, it is too time consuming to bring 12 pieces of luggage. Six pieces of luggage or less is the new trend since 2001. Packing light will increase the pleasure of your journey and allow you to simplify your traveling experience, focusing more on the business or pleasure at hand and less on the multitudes of luggage it seemed like a good idea to bring.
One of the most important aspects of traveling light is the new constraints of airport security. Airport security guards are less likely to need to search a smaller bag and less likely to lose it once it is in the system. It is cheaper to pack light as well. You can carry your own baggage so do not need to pay or tip others to carry it for you. Also you wont be charged weight charges through the airport. Most enticingly, a smaller bag eliminates the need to take transportation around your destination.
If your burden is lightened you will be able to walk from one place to another, encouraging a more hands on relationship...
