Alternatively, my brother has done a lot of business travel in his life, and I love the advice he gave me:

"Never pack more than you are willing to carry a mile down a gravel road in the rain"

I have yet to regret a trip where I pack extremely light.

When I travel, I often stay in rentals that have laundry machines, because it’s so much easier just to pack light and do laundry every couple of days. I’m also not against packing light with the intention of going shopping if I need something. That’s how I get a lot of fun clothes!
