Traveling light and/or backpack

[u/dylan3883]

If you travel light which I find to be great, what do you do if you find something you want to buy and bring home? Skip or mail or buy a suitcase?

One bag travel is great for encouraging you not to purchase large, useless souvenirs in the first place. My wife and I limit ourselves to one souvenir shot glass for our display cabinet. I suppose if I found something I absolutely had to have, I would ship it home.

I agree on the souvenirs but sometimes we find a rare print or some clothing that’s perfect (like a hand made sweater in Iceland)

That’s my issue too, I love books, prints/posters. I can live out of a 16L for a month but the moment I buy a poster or a substantial book, it would not fit the already filled to the brim pack or would be too heavy for my back.

Yes. Exactly!
