For years, people have been amazed that I travel with only carry-on luggage. It started in 2008 when I had to pack light and discovered the freedom it offered. Since then, traveling light has been more than just a packing strategy—it’s a way of experiencing the world more thoughtfully.
Planepack began as a project to encourage minimalist travel, but it has grown into something bigger. As an artist, writer, and publisher, I now explore how light travel, creativity, and mindful observation intersect. Sketching on the go, capturing stories, and embracing the simplicity of travel all play a role in how we engage with the world.
In 2025, Planepack will fully merge into my creative practice at Bobby Graham Publishers, where I continue to explore art, storytelling, and travel in new ways. In the meantime, I invite you to reflect on how traveling light isn’t just about what you pack—but how you see, experience, and create along the way.
Let’s keep exploring—thoughtfully, creatively, and lightly.
I hope you enjoy Planepack and that it inspires you to travel light.
I’m going to Belgrade and Montenegro. This year I’m joined by Denis, a Parisian urban sketcher. We’re spending a week at the coast, capturing Tivat and surrounds.
Some airlines have increased the weight limit for carry-on luggage. Check the new weights.
I showcase a weekend getaway wardrobe for the coast or for the countryside. Always planning for light travel!
What do I take in my handbag? How big is my bag? Usually bigger than this purse! This is my essential handbag packing list.
