I don't see myself as someone that brings a lot of luggage.

I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.

I only travel with a carry-on suitcase in most instances.

When it comes to luggage, I am an underpacker.

Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.

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.

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 get ideas about what's essential when packing my suitcase.

I go to the Caribbean for a month every January with hand baggage only. All you need is a passport and a credit card.
