Packing for a vacation should be fun, but honestly, it’s not. The premise of going away is so exciting UNTIL it comes down to the actual packing…especially if you are planning on packing light as a seasoned traveler. And no one – even those who love ultra-minimalist travel – wants to reach their destination to find that they have left necessities behind. Boo!

Of course, autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year to get out into nature for fall hiking. The leaves are starting to change and the temperature is starting to cool, which makes the conditions ideal for fall foliage hikes.

It’s no secret that I adore Graduate Hotels…for SO many reasons! The cozy beds and the adorable design elements definitely top the list. My most recent visit was to the Tempe, Arizona location. Right on the edge of the campus of Arizona State University, Graduate Tempe has both an on-site restaurant and a pool, which is perfect for relaxing while grabbing a happy hour drink.

I need all the tips I can get for packing light. I am such an over-packer! I am a big fan of bringing clothing that air drys quickly and can be washed in the bathroom sink wherever I am staying.
I’ve definitely gotten better at packing lighter on trips. I totally agree that a good carry on is essential, and less is definitely better. Gone are the days of overpacking for me!
I am a light packer and love to travel with only a carryon. The hardest part for me is the shoes. So I wear the bulkiest one. Another thing I have found helpful are packing cubes. It helps keep organized and also compress what I am taking so I can fit more in less room. And I agree with you – less is more. Like you suggest pairing the same skirt or jeans with a different top, and using layers. And if you forget something you can always buy it at your destination.
Love these tips! I need to get packing cubes – I keep wanting to, but I haven’t quite done it yet. Thanks for the reminder!!
Very useful tips on packing light as packing light means fun traveling. I love to pack minimals and basics in my clothes and try to mix and match them for some color change. Also taking less liquids is great idea. Investing more on luggage is also a useful tip because our luggage should be more comfortable to lift and drag while traveling.
It so surprising that a lot of people still don’t know the significance of light packing and how much it can save you the hustle and big-time money. As being a guy it is pretty easy for me to pack only the essential but never the less it was a really comprehensive article. The only I would suggest everyone is to invest in a good quality lightweight bags.
So true! Heavy bags can be so cumbersome. Great point!
When I try to pack light, I try to pack basic items that can be worn several times. I find that that plus rolling my clothes really helps to pack well.
These are great tips! I always try to pack light and only use carry-on luggage. So much simpler to just have one small carry on compared to a big large suitcase.
Thank you for sharing these tips. Packing light has always been a challenge to me. But with the cost of baggage and local airlines stopped giving out free baggage allowance — it is about time to start packing light.
