Saba Ghole's Travel & Packing Checklist
Saba Ghole shared with us her trick to simplifying her traveling experience — which includes travel to-do lists, for both international and domestic travels, with things that would fit inside a carry-on bag. Listen to the full episode with Saba Ghole on Growth Mindset.
Nono · Do you have any tricks on traveling light?
Saba · Yes, I'm the queen of traveling light. Definitely. Even when I travel to India. I hardly ever travel with a suitcase that's larger than a carry-on-size suitcase. And it's changed my life. Not traveling with medium or larger suitcase no matter where I'm going. This is the process where I do plan a lot. And now I have a travel to-do list for domestic and international travel. And it's become like my bucket list. And I know that I can fit all those items in a carry-on size. So, I have no excuse for traveling with more stuff. I try and plan out how many outfits will I need? What can I reuse, and repurpose? What can't I, and what are the things that are really essential to my travels. Sometimes there are some like uncompromising things that if I had to decide between a shirt, or a pair of pants, and carrying my medicines, or vitamins, I'm going to choose the medicines or vitamins over over the shirt.
Saba · I have [the to-do list] as an Apple Notes file, so I can checkmark the items completed very easily.
