I was not a born nomad. But over the years I have learnt to be and travel light. Where my siblings and friends need a whole lot of thirty kg allowance of baggage to travel for a weekend celebration, I do not carry more than my cabin luggage for a week’s travel. Now I don’t mean to wear unwashed clothes repeatedly but I have fashioned my needs to minimum requirement.
I don’t travel luxury class very often, but I’m not always a backpacker either. I love to experiment with new options and survive on the available resources to make the best of my journey. Here are some tips you can use to travel fashionably as well as light at the same time –
