Backpacker packing hacks: Tips from the podcast

Packing for a trip is one of my favorite things to do… until it gets to the end and I have three more carry-on bags than anticipated or I can’t squeeze my backpack into the overhead compartment 😬

Luckily, I’ve picked up a few tricks after 10 years of traveling the world, and I scouted other experts for this week’s episode! If you’re planning to take advantage of loosening COVID restrictions around the world (while still being safe!) and jet off for a vacation with only a backpack, make sure you listen to the episode for all of the random, handy tips that will get the most out of your bag (or into your bag?) and streamline the process.

Not to give away all of the sneaky tricks, but here’s a little bit of what you can expect in the episode:

  • Backpacks that unzip down the front, not from the top 👏
  • How to minimize your clothes for the most outfits and pare down your beauty routine for TSA 🥲
  • Padlocks, chargers, and e-readers
  • …so much more!
