Minimalist Travel: How a Smart Backpack Can Cut Your Luggage in Half

at Team Voyagoux

Whether you’re going on a long backpacking trip or simply taking a slightly shorter, more luxurious vacation, one thing is certain: everyone benefits from traveling light. This approach allows you to pack smartly, giving you much more space—for example, to bring all your essentials.

One thing is key here: the smart backpack. And we’ll definitely come back to that.

What is minimalist travel?

By “minimalist travel,” we mean the “art” of packing as few items as possible while still making sure you don’t “miss out” on anything. In other words, you pack your luggage as efficiently as possible so that you have room for the most essential items.

Consider the following:

·        One-bag travel: A key principle of minimalist travel is opting for “one-bag” travel. As the name suggests, you make sure everything fits into a single backpack or suitcase. This is ideal, for example, if you’ve booked a city trip for one or more days. When everything fits into a single backpack or carry-on suitcase, you’re most likely to have a much more enjoyable travel experience. 

·        Packing clothes in layers: Another aspect inextricably linked to minimalist travel is packing clothes in layers. We call this “smart” packing. After all, you don’t want unnecessary space left between different items of clothing due to suboptimal folding and stacking. In addition, people often choose clothes that are easy to mix and match. With just one wash while traveling, you can make your clothes last for a long time.

·        Pack only the essentials: A key part of this way of traveling is to pack only the essentials. The saying that fits perfectly here is “less is more.” So ask yourself about every item: will you really need it? Is it essential for your trip? Or is there a good chance it’s the kind of item you’ll be glad to have with you, but that you’ll never actually use? In almost all cases, you can always buy something locally if it turns out you do need it after all.

·        Preference for multifunctionality: Finally, always opt for products that are multifunctional. This way, you can essentially check off multiple needs with a single product. The ultimate example of this remains the 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 shampoo, but there are many other products with multiple functions. This is where you’ll see the greatest return on your investment.

Although these tips will help you travel as minimally as possible, there’s one more important point we definitely shouldn’t leave out.
