In my hand luggage I always have my camera, iPod, make-up bag, tooth brush, cleansing products, clean underwear, socks and a change of clothes in case anything goes missing at the other end - and of course my passport.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I put everything into my hand luggage! Really, I do!
I get ideas about what's essential when packing my suitcase.
I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits... they're like souvenirs.
Though I'm a fashion designer, I never stuff my luggage with too many items.
I used to overpack a lot and sometimes even forgot vital pieces of clothing, such as my swimming shorts and sandals. I'm much better now. I only take what I know I'm going to wear or use and always double-check my suitcase so I don't have to rush to the nearest clothing store when I unpack at the hotel.
I do so much travelling in my work that my suitcase is always packed, with my passport ready. I rarely unpack, as I am constantly on the move.
I prefer to leave a little room in my bag to grab goodies when I'm travelling, but otherwise you need one good pair of shoes that can be worn day or night, a pair of black jeans, and a nice dress.
It's the polar opposite of most people, but I absolutely hate carrying a ton of stuff onto a plane. I check in all my luggage and literally go through security with nothing other than my coat, in which I have my iPhone and iPad.
I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.
When I travel, I just take what I need and I run. I always have my briefcase stuffed with work, even when I go on a holiday.
