What to Leave Behind

Overpacking is one of the biggest travel mistakes. Leave these at home:

✗Heavy jeans (swap for lightweight travel trousers)

✗Multiple pairs of shoes (2 pairs maximum)

✗Full-sized toiletry bottles (use travel-size or buy locally)

✗Books (use a Kindle — saves 800g+)

✗Excessive valuables (jewellery, unnecessary gadgets)

✗Items you haven't used in the last month at home

Pro Packing Tips

Use Packing Cubes

Compression packing cubes can cut your bag size by 30%. Separate by clothing type, not by day.

Roll, Don't Fold

Rolling clothes prevents creases and saves up to 20% more space versus folding flat.

Wear Bulky Items

Wear your heaviest shoes and bulkiest layer on travel days — they don't count as luggage weight.

Buy Toiletries Locally

Basics like shampoo, sunscreen, and toothpaste are available everywhere in Marseille. Don't carry them from home.

Pack for the Return

Leave 20% of bag space empty. You'll inevitably buy something worth taking home.

One Bag Rule

Carry-on only when possible. It removes the anxiety of lost luggage and speeds up every transit.
