How to travel with only a carry-on?

10 tips to maximize space (55cm x 23cm x 40cm) when you are a woman.

I have several little secrets and tips for you.

1. Having a good carry-on makes a difference. In my experience, a suitcase that opens in 2 sections versus a suitcase that opens only from the top maximizes storage space.

   
   

2. No need to spend on compression bags or storage cubes for clothes. Use these if only to group the items that are lying around in your suitcase.

   
   

3. For the hair, bring only what is necessary! If your accommodation provides a dryer, do not bring yours. You can live without your Dyson Airwrap for a while.

   
   

4. For makeup, be honest! Are you really going to do a full make-up every day? Bring the necessary. For me, it’s the Portfolio Professional Correctors 4-in-1 from Lise Watier and a mascara. That's it!

   
   

5. If you like to wear perfume, get a mini filling bottle. This will allow you to bring your favorite perfume without buying the travel size.

   
   

6. If you are traveling in the summer or a warm place, bring only one pant and a small jacket. No more! Take a pair of pants that will combine well with several tops.

   
   

7. Speaking of clothes, bring half of what you think to put on. This exercise will make you choose your favorite clothes; therefore, those that you are the most likely to wear. Bring with you a 100ml of laundry detergent and report your clothes.

   
   

8. For technology, do you really need your tablet or computer? Just bring your cell phone and live in the present moment!

   
   

9. If you like to read, download electronic novels/magazines on your mobile phone.

   
   

10. Remember that you are entitled to a personal item. So instead of bringing several handbags, bring a beautiful bag that will serve as a handbag, but also as a bag for your personal belongings when traveling and hiking during your getaways. Personally, I really like my small leather bag that goes with it Matt&Nat.
