How to Pack Light: The Tech Edition

Luggage weight usually creeps up not from footwear, but from the dense tangle inside your electronics organizer. We pack adapters for multiple proprietary plugs, redundant spare cords, digital tablets, and heavy external battery bricks.

These days I enforce a minimalist kit: a single multi-port wall block, one cord for each connector type, a lightweight reader, and a pocket-sized external battery. Leaving the excess gear behind shaves considerable heft off the shoulder.

Fears of forgetting an essential tech accessory never actually materialized once during my travels. By contrast, the dragging burden of an overstuffed travel bag plagued every journey until I trimmed down.
