Decide on luggage and what other bags:
First, Plan Your Luggage: Begin by considering the items you’ll need for your trip. Ensure that your luggage adheres to the carry-on requirements set by your airline(s). For my Greece trip, I opted for a London Fog carry-on suitcase and a Lululemon personal backpack. Keep these 2 pieces streamlined for easy of movement. The personal backpack has a horizontal back strap that can conveniently fed into the handle of your carry-on.
Handsfree Daytime Crossbody Belt Bag. For travelling and day trips or just exploring I love having my phone and wallet readily accessible but also safe and secure as it stays in on my front. Personally, I love using my Lululemon pouch or similarly the Lole pouch for this purpose.
Evening Essentials: In addition to the essentials, I packed a small, super lightweight crossbody black purse for evenings. It’s perfect for carrying just what you need without weighing you down.
Beach Ready: Don’t forget about beach days! I included a lightweight zippered beach bag in my carry-on. It’s essential for stashing towels, sunscreen, and other beach necessities.
The Final Tally: In summary, I brought a total of five bags:
The carry-on that met all the various airline flight guidelines.
A light backpack for day-to-day use.
A convenient crossbody belt bag.
A chic small black purse for evenings.
A beach bag for seaside adventures.
Traveling with just a carry-on can be liberating, and thoughtful packing ensures you have everything you need without excess baggage.
