I used to be a chronic overpacker. I would always bring way too much stuff with me, even on short trips. But after a few years of lugging around heavy suitcases, I finally realized that it was time to change my ways.

I started by getting rid of anything I didn't absolutely need. I also invested in a good backpack and suitcase that were both lightweight and durable.

Here are some of the tips I've learned over the years on how to pack light and efficiently:

• Start with a list. Before you start packing, make a list of everything you need to bring. This will help you to stay organized and avoid overpacking.
• Pack light clothing. Choose clothing that is lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. Avoid packing heavy or bulky items.
• Roll your clothes. Rolling your clothes instead of folding them will save space in your suitcase.
• Use packing cubes. Packing cubes are a great way to organize your belongings and keep them wrinkle-free.
• Leave some space. Don't pack your suitcase to the brim. Leave some space so that you can easily access your belongings.

By following these tips, you can pack light and efficiently for your next trip. You'll be glad you did when you're not lugging around a heavy suitcase.

My World Tour Packing List

Here is a sample packing list for a world tour:

• Clothing: 5-7 shirts, 3-4 pairs of pants, 1-2 dresses, 1 jacket, 1 pair of pajamas, 1 swimsuit, underwear, socks
• Toiletries: Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, soap, sunscreen, insect repellent
• Electronics: Phone, charger, camera, laptop, headphones
• Documents: Passport, visa, travel insurance, credit cards, cash
• Other: Water bottle, first-aid kit, travel towel, flashlight, multi-tool

This is just a sample list, and you may need to adjust it depending on your specific needs and the climate of the countries you're visiting.
