I originally learned about one bag travel at onebag.com, by Doug Dyment. It's a great resource. I probably found that website after reading Vagabonding by Rolf Potts. I highly recommend it. Then I bought an Osprey Farpoint 40 and although I don't travel as much as I'd like, when I do I try to restrict myself to just that bag and maybe a personal item.

I love seeing other people's packing lists, hearing about travel, what worked and what didn't, and even seeing knolling spreads. Happy travels!

Yeah it was a tough sell for sure, but luckily we had previous trip experience of hauling around big bags to compare with. The hard part was convincing them to bring fewer clothes honestly, but I feel so much of that is just option paralysis. Most trips people wear a lot of the same stuff over again anyways, it's just nice to have options.

Obviously it would be more ideal for the both of you to one bag but at least you'll always know you'll have your bags whenever you travel. Eventually they'll see how easy it is and maybe convert over.
