1 / 9A poorly organized travel bag is a waste of space, a waste of time, and a source of frustration. Packing light is the best way to travel if you like to vacation often. The first step to packing light is to travel with only a carry-on bag, also known as a cabin bag. Your cabin bag should be lightweight, durable, water-resistant, and comfortable to carry. Here are some tips to help you pack efficiently. (Image: Shutterstock)
2 / 9Choose the right bag: A backpack or small rolling bag is ideal. A good carry-on should also have multiple compartments for easy access, allowing you to safely store essentials like your phone, wallet, passport, camera, sunscreen, and water bottle. (Image: Wikimedia Commons)
3 / 9Plan your outfits: Plan your outfits so that one garment can be used in multiple ways. A versatile wardrobe is essential for light travelers. Opt for neutral tones and natural fabrics that can adapt to all kinds of weather conditions. (Image: Reuters)
4 / 9Multi-purpose items: Pack items that can serve multiple purposes, such as a sarong that can be used as a blanket, scarf or beach towel. Shoes should be versatile and comfortable, which will help you limit yourself to just two pairs: one for walking and one for more formal occasions. (Image: AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)
