It has come to the point of my blogging career when I am now grateful for themes. Thanks to Ailsa of Where’s My Backpack for today’s theme. I highly recommend her post, and her blog.
I love to simplify! Here are my suggestions for simple travel:
- Pack items that can do two things, like convertible pants, or black pants that can be dressed up or down.
- Bring only pants so you don’t have to pack heels.
- Minimize the pairs of shoes.
- Take a camera that can do almost everything and is small.
- Leave beauty products at home; wear a smile.
- Collect all mementos in digital format on your camera.
- Bring an ebook reader and get digital travel books.
- Come home with memories and an expanded mind, not stuff.
These photos are a reminder of how much movement is involved in travel…so pack light!
Here’s how to join today’s theme:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Simplify

One day if I ever get to travel overseas, I will try to remember that. I have learned that it is fun to buy magnets from the places I visit. My fridge is filling up with them but they are light and don’t take up any room in luggage. lol And each time I open my fridge and spy a magnet, there is a memory attached.

Excellent hints for travel! I like to go to bookstores and to office supply stores. Usually I buy a small quantity of pencils and pens and a notepad as well. It is small stuff 🙂
Loved your photos of Paris! They entice me to visit the city as soon as possible. Thanks much and enjoy your weekend! 🙂

I buy little notepads too, wherever I go. You’re right, they are small!
Enjoy your weekend too.
