r/onebag
I’m a big believer in minimalism, because of the simplicity, intentionality and freedom that it brings. No subreddit encompasses this better in my view than r/onebag — just posts and pictures from people who can fit their life’s possessions into a single bag. I don’t think I’d be able to go that far, but I think travel is one of the best ways to practice the art of r/onebag — and that’s exactly what I did when I went to the south of France for 4 nights earlier this month and took just a 20L carry on bag.
Below is a list of what was in my bag— I have split it into three sections: clothes, toiletries and miscellaneous. I should also add that on the flight I was wearing jeans, shoes, a jumper and a light jacket.
