Exploring Destinations for the Compact Clothing Expedition (and other journeys)

In the world of minimalist living, one individual stands out for their remarkable travel adventures. Known for the Tiny Wardrobe Tour, this person visited 16 cities in 2016 and plans to explore 17 more in 2017, with one additional city yet to be disclosed.

The packing list for this tour is meticulously planned, encompassing 33 essential items, excluding winter boots and coat for warm destinations. The list includes underwear, sleepwear, workout clothes, cosmetics, toiletries, a brush, flat iron, notebook, pen, computer, phone, chargers, earbuds, vitamin D, Athletic Greens, glasses and sunglasses, snacks, an optional bathing suit, kindle or book, water bottle, thank you cards, and a list of quiet activities for flights such as reading, watching a movie, listening to a podcast, or meditating.

To ensure a stress-free packing process, this individual challenges themselves to only pack for half of the trip and makes a list before each trip. They also pack additional clothing for different climates if necessary.

When it comes to transportation, this minimalist traveller prefers to walk at least 5 miles per day while exploring the city and uses public transportation or car sharing services like Lyft.

This traveller also takes steps to streamline their airport experience. They have signed up for TSA Pre, which offers shorter lines and allows for keeping shoes, liquids, and laptop in the bag.

After returning home, the individual unpacks immediately and takes at least a week or two to reconnect with loved ones and practise their routines. They also save their packing lists in Evernote for future reference, using the platform to maintain a list of trips as a packing guide, including a Tiny Wardrobe Tour list, a beach list, and warm/cool weather trip lists.

The individual also recommends The Bhakti Bunch Yoga Club in Salt Lake City for a friendly, affordable, and nourishing yoga class.

In addition, this minimalist traveller offers a free copy of The Simplicity Quick Start Guide and simplicity-inspired articles to those interested in adopting a more streamlined lifestyle.

In essence, this individual's approach to travel is a testament to the idea that less is more. By packing only what is necessary, using efficient transportation methods, and prioritising quiet activities, they have managed to make the most of their travels while maintaining a minimalist lifestyle.
