*A quick note on this post: We wrote this blog post back at the beginning of the year with intentions to share in early spring. But then Covid-19 changed the world and we didn't feel right sharing it then. As some communities have slowly reopened over the past few months, people are starting to travel again. We're sharing this now for those who may be taking close trips to visit family or friends, and to save as a resource as it becomes safer to resume exploring and adventures. We'd like to encourage anyone considering travel to be thoughtful in your planning and safe in your actions.*

Travel is at "The Heart of Yireh". And we definitely advocate for everyone to do what works best for them when traveling - whether you’re a maximalist and perhaps a bit of an "How to Pack from an Expert" overpacker like Emily or more a "Travel Capsule Wardrobe" minimalist packer like Erika. Whichever way you lean, there will always be times when traveling with just a carry-on is valuable, so today we’re going to walk you through it step by step.
