Zerobagging

Zerobagging means traveling without luggage. No suitcase, no roller bag, no backpack. The clothes for your trip are the ones you're wearing, and everything else fits in your pockets or a small bag on your shoulder.

It sounds extreme, but it works for more trips than most people expect: weekends away, city breaks, business travel, even several weeks moving between countries. It comes down to a few habits. You wear clothes that dry overnight, wash them in the sink, give everything its own pocket, and let your phone and your hotel take care of much of what used to fill a bag.

This book explains how to do it, step by step. It covers:

- What counts as zerobagging, and why a small shoulder bag is fine
- Clothes and pockets that carry your things and still look normal
- What to carry, what to leave at home, and what to buy when you arrive
- Washing clothes on the road with little more than a sink and a towel
- Sleepwear, hot and cold weather, rain, dressing up, and working with a laptop
- Airport security, boarding, and border questions when you have no bag
- Sample trips, real trip reports from zerobaggers, and a plan for your first trip

It's also honest about the limits. Some trips are better with a bag, and the book helps you tell which ones.

At the back are reference pages to use before every trip: sample setups, a gear list, a list of things to leave behind, and a checklist.

It's written for people who already pack light and want to see how far they can take it, and for anyone who has stood at a baggage carousel and wondered whether they needed the bag at all.
