When traveling, how much baggage do you bring?

It's weird when i go some where even when its for a day! I usually pack more clothes then i would wear. I like to have different things to choose from. Especailly when i dont think it looks good on me.

I do not travek very often. It has been a very long time since the last time that I did travel. I think I used to bring about three suitcases of stuff. I like to make sure to bring enough of everything.

if i travelled within 5 days,i always took a back pack with wallet\less clothes\camera\map\notebook,when i was in Sanya i saw a girl take a very big suitcase and a big back pack i was quit surprised that how long would she be in the beach. i think it's trouble to take too many stuffs when travel out.

Whenever I travel, I only bring few bags with me.

Yeah! So do I! I don't bring much clothes for my travel, as I can wash them at the hotel during the trip. However, I add some small empty bags to my big bags, so that I can use them to contain souvenirs for my friends and family. Also for my collection, as I myself love souvenirs!

when i travel, i only bring one bottle of water.

I only bring as much luggage as I need. MY husband and I went to Toronto this weekend, and we only took one overnight bag between us, and my handbag. The overnight bag was smaller than a suitcase, but bigger than a backpack, if that makes sense. It held everything nicely including my laptop, and was great for 36 hours away from home.

When I began traveling I took really heavy baggage. Then when I was 18 I met an Australian lady that demonstrated having light baggage. She had to wash her every day or she wouldn't have has other clothes to wear. She stayed in backpacker hostels. I tried to make my baggage lighter and managed that on trips of two weeks. However for the trips I did that lasted several months to over one year I sent parcels home from Australia and New Zealand. Thank goodness I didn't send a parcel from South Africa. Not even postcards got through that I send from there. In 2008 I took my toddler son to Riga in Latvia. We were allowed one piece of baggage weighing 15kg or less. That packing was challenging. We did manage it though we had to pay more for the airline to carry the 5kg travel cot. I always travel with a backpack.

i grew up in manila. when i got married, i decided to stay with my in-laws in iloilo city. i visit manila whenever i have big projects. (im a freelance computer engineer.)most of the time, i bring only my back pack with 2 sets of clothes. i would always tell my wife that i have lots of clothes in manila whenever she insists on bringing more. and when im about to go back to iloilo, my mom would ask me to bring some presents. if its food, il tell her that "they dont eat those kind of foods there". if its clothes, "they already have those". only to avoid those kilos of bags that need to carry everytime you take a long walk.. happy new year dolce_vita78.

Every year my youngest daughter (19) travels back home to visit her father and the family during the holidays. She normally travels after Christmas but this year she spent Christmas day with him and her grandparents because they are in poor health. She always checks two bags although she doesn't need both when she goes up north. But, when she comes home she has so much stuff that she needs both bags. She also takes two carry ons with her.

My job also enables me to travel within north america regularly. I only travel with one handbag which I do not check in. I am also contemplating getting a nexus card so that I don't have to do the lineups in airport. After a travel, when we touch down, I just want to get to the parking, get the car and drive home. I don't like to wait at line ups for immigration.

Hi dolce vita: As I know my travel will be more expensive if my baggage are too heavy I think i will try to go as lighter as i can and buy everything I need in the place i am going to travel. But at the same time i know that i will need a lot of baggages if i nee to do a long trip. I don't know what i am going to do because there are so many things I would like to take with me in case I travel to another country to continue my studies: there are so many things very significant to me. I think you can understand me. Thanks fro asking me this question. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take care. -Alvaro.

I hardly ever travel anywhere without my camera rucksack, and it is about the size of a normal hand luggage so I have to bring a suitcase. I usually take the smaller one, even when I was in Australia and New Zeland for a month. I usually make sure that I can wash clothes somewhere on the road rather than bring too much clothes.

Not much I must say. If it is only for about 3 days, a backpack would just do. My cousin and her family who have just came home from England traveled with us to Palawan last year. So when I appeared on her door with just a backpack, she was really amazed! They were 3 and they really have these huge bags with them. She said they can learn from me from just bringing the essentials when they travel.

It depends, as there are lots of promo with travel light I just have my back pack and my shoulder bag. When going abroad for 3 to 4 days my back pack a hand carried bag and my shoulder bag, and I have this small tote bag to place in my passport and other travel documents and my money. If say for a month abroad I have this 2o kilos luggage my hand carry bag and my shoulder bag. In going to domestic travel I know what to bring and carry. As to gifts, I usually have some for my family but not to so many as they usually dont know I am travelling.

I always travel light. I only carry things that I need. I hate carrying a lot of baggage so often I just carry one. If I stay long, then I carry a bigger baggage. Just like you. I find it easier and much more easy to monitor one bag rather than have so many.

I always travel light. I bring one suitcase and one handbag. In my handbag I keep the most important things like my tickets, my wallet and my passport. I like to use a handbag that relatively big, so that I can carry my camera, my guidebooks, my dictionaries and my maps when I go sightseeing. In my suitcase I often bring some of my old clothes or clothes that I was planning on throwing away or donating to charity. I leave my old clothes when I am going back, and that way I am able to carry the presents for my friends and my family in my suitcase. It doesn't always work though. Sometimes I buy too much, and then I need to get one more bag when I am going back

For me I used to have one or two baggage but the time not to deal with the result is many it is difficult to me to do that situation.
