This weekend, I will be escaping to New York: the city where the winter feels like winter, I never have to hide from acquaintances in grocery stores, and I can walk everywhere (or take public transportation!) if I so choose.
This time around, I’m determined to only bring a carry-on bag. Mostly because the airline is charging me for a checked bag, and do you know who is not about to pay for that? This girl.
Traveling light can be tricky, but it pays off. You can get dressed faster because you have fewer options, giving you more time in your city of choice. You are not the obnoxious tourist with a gazillion bags to schlep through the airport/in the taxi line/up flights of stairs.
