13-day trip to Europe "Take Only One Carrier Box" 60-year-old woman reveals five advantages in reducing the luggage for mature travel

During a long trip, many people became burdened in order to prevent them from carrying a pile of luggage all the time. Japanese blogger Nakado あん, who is over 60 years old, challenged to complete a 13-day trip to Portugal this year with a "one boarding box", and discovered a variety of benefits and experiences brought by luggage simplification.

Long-distance luggage The principle is "less and light"

Middle Road means that I have been traveling to Portugal for 13 days in the previous morning. Although I generally think that the longer the journey, the more luggage you will get, this time I brought only a small "in-machine" boarding box.

Middle Road revealed that when I went to Paris for a self-guided trip, I brought a large suitcase, but I couldn't move at all, and I suffered a lot. This time, we decided to go the other way, and we only had a small boarding box to challenge.

I was a little uneasy before departure: "Is it really enough to rely on these luggage?" However, I was surprised after the trip that this journey was not only comfortable, but also gave me great confidence.

Advantage 1: Zero waiting at the airport. The maximum weight of the luggage inside the machine is 8 kilograms. Therefore, you must pack it and ask yourself: "Is this really necessary?" "It's okay without it?" Clothing and cosmetics are based on the principle of not taking up space, not easy to get on, and light quantification, and even weighing them one by one with a kitchen electronic scale. For example, if you give up the eyelash clip and change it to the first time you try to lash; if you even wear three inner pants in one breath, it is a bit funny.

The result is: no need to wait for checked luggage and no worries about luggage loss, and the whole trip becomes unusually easy.

Advantage 2: Easy to move, transportation can also save

European stations often lack elevators and need to move luggage to and from the stairs. Large suitcases can be very hard, but small boarding boxes can be easily lifted.

Especially in cities where these slate roads and ramps in Pollo and Lisbon are incorrect, big suitcases are almost inch away. The two friends who were traveling with each other often took a taxi because of their excessive luggage, and the middle road was able to easily rely on the electric car or move on foot, so the traffic costs were naturally greatly reduced.

Odds 3: Get your luggage quickly and worry-free. This trip is a middle way moving in Lisbon and Pollo. Since there is only one check-in box, the time to pack your luggage before departure has been greatly shortened. There is no need to worry about "where is it put?" During the journey, the small pressure has almost completely disappeared.

Advantage 4: The body will be "less is enough"

In fact, I have almost never encountered the situation of "I would have brought the same thing if I had known it before", but I deeply felt that "in fact, these are enough."

The climate in Portugal is dry, and hand-washing clothes can almost be completely dry in one night. If you are not at ease, then use a blower to dry it slightly. Choosing fast drying underwear and inner wear proves that it is a very correct decision.

This experience made her realize that in daily life, she always prepares too much because of "to prevent all ones", but in fact, "it doesn't matter if there is nothing." This sense of security itself is a treasure harvest.

Advantage 5: Body and mind are lighter

Less luggage not only makes movement faster, but also makes the mood relaxed. Even when walking quickly, you will feel "I am quite proud."

On the last return trip, the souvenirs purchased by Zhongdao in Portugal filled half a boarding box, and the weight increased to 11.5 kg, but the old calculation was light. When riding in a high-speed rail, she can even put her luggage on the top of her luggage rack. Compared to the double-fold baggage from the Paris trip that year, it is not as simple as the same day.

Middle Road said that although her physical strength and air strength at the age of 60 gradually declined, this experience made her sure that she could still go anywhere at any time, which may be the biggest harvest of the journey.

Important reminder for mature travel

Many people think "wait until you retire before traveling well", but in fact, moving large luggage is extremely burdening for the body. Where you want to go, you often have enough physical strength and energy to realize it at this moment.

As the age grows, the memory power gradually declines. Because of this, it is more "simple and light" when traveling, so that your body and mind are comfortable. This 13-day boarding box trip allows the middle way to deeply reach, and the body is as light as a swallow, which is the biggest secret to enjoying the trip.
