A1 I treasure this moment also to walk out of customs without stopping for an hour at baggage claim & be the first in line for the bus or taxi or metro- Thanks @majidahhashim #TTOT https://t.co/sqbfcWdmh8

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @CharlesMcCool A1: Packing light is essential when island hopping or walking around, in my view. See the pic for my usual setup. That said - I have met people with multiple huge trunks that still get around on e.g Malapascua, Philippines. So you can always find a way. #TTOT

A1 Packing light saves you back pain (lifting to overheads ā train, flight, bus), in places with no escalator /elevator (metro stations, hotels, airports) & with fewer things to organize you save time to enjoy your destination. #TTOT Image: @pixabay

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @CharlesMcCool A1 No waiting at the carousel, no backpacker hunch or sore back from carrying massive weights, no arriving tired and sweaty from carrying it, easier to grab in an emergency bug out situation ... #TTOT

A1-Travelling light is the most common backpacking solution. You'd walk where you would have hailed a taxi, & not waste time deciding what to wear. You get to leave the airport before it starts to bore you, & not get tied down to your hotel. š

replying to @majidahhashim @majidahhashim A1 Indeed and perhaps also having less baggage on the flight overall will save on fuel for a lighter aircraft. #TTOT

A1 If you only pack things that you are not precious about - you have less to loose - and focus on important things - a reason why monks have no worldly possessions - it is freedom. #ttot

replying to @VagabondDeluxe @VagabondDeluxe @SonjaSwissLife @CharlesMcCool You can always find a way with 23 massive suitcases, but in the meantime I'll be putting my feet up on the beach with my carry on pack and a mango juice šš #TTOT

A1 I try to do this also - reserve that extra space for some treasures to take home.š Sometimes I take clothes that I plan to give away after use & washing. I put them in a clothes charity collection box or give them to someone. #TTOT https://t.co/nhU1eMsPfU

A1 Excellent answer & great bags for island hopping or walking. I think the point is also that we all travel for different reasons & our luggage reflects that. I have moved across 2 oceans 2 different times - NOT on a carry-on airline fare. Thanks, @VagabondDeluxe #TTOT š§³ https://t.co/UTTs0oJt1f

A2 I look at weather, and if things can be refilled or picked up and dropped off along the way. Also, most things can be digitalised nowadays so the less paper and printouts, the better! #TTOT https://t.co/9ycdR4RBuN

A2-You know you have the right gear if it does not take up much room, & is easy to carry around. A carry-on bag with many pockets is a traveller's best friend. A suitcase of larger dimensions may offer more space but it can also hold you back. š

A2 Well said, @majidahhashim Weather is a huge factor but we still have to be prepared for surprises (like if the transport is air conditioned in the summer & we freeze on board. Agree heartily with digitisation of paper documents. #TTOT https://t.co/Bn3aZGkEjY

A2: Weather at location - do I need waterproof shoes and jacket or can I save space with normal wear. If I need any nice clothes for nightlife or if I can just schlub it in remote areas. #ttot

@SonjaSwissLife @travelhouseuk A2: One question I always ask myself is: "can I buy this cheaply and easily at my destination instead?" No need to pack a towel if I'm going to a touristy place with towels all around.
A second question I ask myself is: "can I do laundry cheaply?" If so, pack less clothes #TTOT
