For trips, travelling light is essential. It saves you the cost of a checked bag; it increases your mobility - you can easily dash from gate to gate at the airport and you don't have to wait for your bags at your destination, enabling you to be more efficient with you time.
I love a good packing list. I can be guilty of over packing which is why I made this list. There was good response from my other packing lists so I decided to upload this one. It takes the overthinking out of packing because you know you'll have all you need if you follow this list. I never run out of clothes and even have about 4 clean outfits when I return after a week's trip.
My carry-on is small, lightweight and great quality; I love it. As you can see from the picture, it is not that much bigger than my purse but I am able to fit everything on this list into my carry-on. Owning a small carry-on like this one forced me to streamline packing for work trips.
Items with the asterisk, I suggest wearing on your trip to save space in your carry-on. Within the list, I have linked a few products I own, use, and recommend.
