Do you
wonder their dilemma when asked to pack a 10-kilo carry-on luggage
for a 2-week to a month out of town or out of the country trips? It
is actually somehow impossible but very challenging. To help on this
challenging travel dilemma, below are some tips on how you can
maximize the standard weight capacity of your backpack with travel
essentials not exceeding 10kg.
Bring
only a week-worth of clothes
It is
indeed a challenge to carry only a very limited weight of luggage
that should include everything you need, much more if the trip would
take 2-week or 1-month. Women would always prefer to wear fresh
clothes everyday of course. She also worry of leaving something she
need behind because of the limitation set at various airport
terminals. Yes, paying for additional baggage is an option but what
if there are other ways like having some basic outfits that you can
easily mix and match and a detergent powder you can use for washing
clothes. Applicable and simple right? Let your outfit be more lively
and colorful by adding some accessories in it, a bright colored scarf
that would do.
Think
towel as just an option
If you will
be living in a hotel, then bringing towel is no longer needed. For other
type of accommodation, a microfiber towel or even a simple
lightweight sarong would do.
Limit
your toiletries
Bring with
you only the basics like shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, and
lotion. Make sure to transfer the content of those bulky container
beauty must have in a smaller storage to have only what you can use.
I personally reuse those small lotion bottles from hotels. Keep these
toiletries in a ziplock bags to avoid issues like spilling of liquid
materials into clothes.
Limit
your electronic gadgets
A gadget is
one of the major contributor of weight in a traveler's luggage. Make
it a point to bring what you think you need or can really use in a
span of your stay like mobile phones and laptop.
