Dragging multiple
suitcases through cobblestone streets in Europe while trying to
catch a train is the moment many travelers realize they've
packed too much. The struggle of navigating
airports with excessive luggage, waiting at
baggage claim, and worrying about lost bags can
turn what should be an exciting journey into a stressful
ordeal.
The Squad has mastered
the art of traveling with just a carry-on,
even on trips lasting two weeks or more. In this episode,
they share their tested strategies for making
carry-on travel work, including their favorite luggage
choices, packing techniques, and the mindset shift
required to leave the overpacking habits behind. You'll
discover how to handle everything from liquids and toiletries to
choosing versatile clothing, plus tips for surviving jet
lag and navigating new visa requirements
like the UK's ETA system.
