## Hook
The more you travel, the less you take. Last year, I went to Portugal for 5 weeks and carried on one 10 kg backpack and a small sling bag. In the winter. While I was working. Here's every single thing I brought with me.
## Structure
- Why?
- Cost, but not really
- Convenience: mobile check-in, no waiting around for luggage
- Security: Your luggage never has to leave your sight; it's easier to keep track of things if you have fewer things
- Enjoyment: It can be refreshing to take a break from things so that you can remember what's essential.

## Outro
That's everything I took! After going through all of that with you, I don't at all feel like I had to deprive myself by not bringing a lot of things. I think I packed well for MY priorities, and I think I could even have left behind a few things. Just because it's right for me doesn't mean it's right for you, but I hope this has shown you that it CAN be done. Thanks for your attention, and until next time, travel light!
