Creator's Key Takeaways
Yes, I am a self-p profofessed overpacker. Normally, I pack a lot of things I might need and a lot of extra comfort type things that I could probably do without.
Now, when traveling carry-on only, you'll find the strategy of rewearing and mixing and matching items invaluable.
Pack no more than three pairs of shoes. Shoes are usually the heaviest and most awkwardly shaped items that you'll be packing, making them difficult to accommodate.
Dresses are really good choice when cruising to warm weather destinations. They're easier to pack than a top, bottom, and belt ensemble.
