Minimalist Packing for the Long-Term Traveler! (Part 2) - Tip #5 of 30

Описание: Packing light is one of the hardest parts of long-term travel — and one of the most important.
In this video, I share a mindset shift that makes packing lighter much easier: stop bringing everything with you, and start buying what you need abroad.

We cover:
Why packing light feels so difficult on long-term trips
How buying items abroad can dramatically reduce what you carry
Why this strategy works best with clothing
The critical rule: only bring things you’re okay donating or giving away
How traveling long-term naturally destroys clothes anyway
When this approach is especially useful (bulky jackets, heavy shoes, one-region gear)
What to do if you really want to keep something — and why you should budget for shipping in advance

👉 Key takeaway:
Long-term travel works best when your gear is flexible. Bring items you’re willing to part with, adapt as you move through different climates, and avoid carrying stuff “just in case.”

This approach keeps your bag lighter, your travel easier, and your plans more adaptable.
