How to Pack for a Long Trip (Without the Kitchen Sink)

November 12, 2012

We are frequently asked about insurance for luggage and things you take on your trip. Trip insurance does protect your luggage, assuming you aren’t carrying the crown jewels, but the first step in protecting your luggage when you travel is knowing how to pack. We have blogged about traveling light in the past, and I am a real advocate of carrying less, even for a lengthy trip.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing, so please take a look at this video and see that it is, indeed, possible to pack for a long trip with just one bag.

I would love to hear your travel tips. How do you travel light or what packing trips can you share?
