An excellent place to start traveling as a minimalist is your wardrobe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding about clothing and accessories, know what pieces you like to wear and what goes well together. That way, you can pack outfits you&#8217;ll love instead of a bag full of random elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subheading-31\">Buy with intention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you even set foot on a plane, it helps to shop for wardrobe pieces that are durable and comfortable and that you genuinely love. Buying long-lasting pieces will ensure you get lots of wear out of the item and eliminate confusion when thinking about what to pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands like\u00a0Columbia,\u00a0Patagonia, and\u00a0Marmot\u00a0make excellent clothing that is stylish, durable, and ready for any adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subheading-32\">Plan for activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second complication of overpacking is not knowing what you&#8217;ll be doing. Minimalist traveling requires you to know what you&#8217;ll be doing and plan ahead to some degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you going to relax at the beach? Will you be hiking in the mountains? If you know what activities you want to try on your trip, you can more easily weed out the clothes and items you won&#8217;t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subheading-33\">Try packing solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some great packing solutions out there allow you to bring more stuff and use less space, which is excellent for beginner minimalist travelers.\u00a0Packing cubes,\u00a0Vacuum pack\u00a0bags, or a sleeping bag stuff sack can help you save space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subheading-34\">Rethink the shoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Decide what shoes are essential for your trip, and try to pack lighter-weight shoes. Picking a stylish, multifunctional shoe is vital! That way, it can go with every outfit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favorite pairs of shoes to bring is a waterproof sneaker. Sneakers are a go-to for most outfits and situations, and by grabbing a pair that will keep you dry during the rain, you&#8217;ll eliminate the need for an extra pair of waterproof shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great option for affordable waterproof shoes that are popular right now, and for a good reason, are\u00a0Vessi\u00a0shoes. With a range of stylish shoes for multiple situations and options for men and women, this 100% waterproof shoe is taking the world by storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sold on a pair of Vessi sneakers already? I don&#8217;t blame you, so remember to use&nbsp;<strong>PILOTPLANS&nbsp;<\/strong>at checkout if you want to get $15 off your purchase!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Wear your heaviest pair of shoes on the plane to make your bag lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subheading-35\">Don&#8217;t rush<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow yourself plenty of time to pack before your trip to avoid rushing. Rushing will cloud your judgment and cause you to pack things you probably don&#8217;t need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subheading-36\">Do your laundry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A great way to avoid overpacking is to do laundry while on your trip. They make a lightweight\u00a0laundry detergent strip\u00a0that is easy to carry in your bag. Ensure your destination has a laundry mat or that your hostel has laundry services before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"subheading-37\">Use a packing app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing apps are a great way to track what you need to pack and ensure everything is organized. You can try some of the most popular&nbsp;packing apps&nbsp;and see which suits you best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can turn any packing list into a minimalist packing list when you apply these tips. Whether you&#8217;re a&nbsp;digital nomad, taking a&nbsp;beach vacation, or going&nbsp;backpacking, I&#8217;ve compiled the ultimate minimalist packing list for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Know what you like Most of the complications from overpacking come from wanting to have options.
