TIL that traveling with just a backpack is doable

Honestly, I figured I needed a checked bag for any trip. After packing light for a weekend, I saved on fees and had less stress. Tbh, it's a game-changer.

Remember cramming three pairs of shoes into my bag for a week in Austin, thinking I needed options. Those stupid boots took up half my backpack and gave me blisters the first day. Spent the whole trip in cheap flip flops I bought at a gas station, and my back hurt from hauling all that junk around. Now I just wear the one pair that works for walking, maybe pack some sneakers if there's a real need. What's the one thing you used to overpack that you finally gave up on?

Brought a hairdryer once, never again.

Yeah that "never again" hits hard. I brought mine on a trip and my toddler kept trying to dry the cat with it. Maybe it's just me but I can't have nice things.
