I'm considering onebagging through Italy and France in May by train, no airplane travel involved. Do you have any tips or tricks for doing that? We'll be two women traveling, no formal events to attend or special equipment activities planned.

A lot of the basic onebag strategies will apply to your train trip.

  • Keep your wardrobe simple/versatile
  • Rolling your clothes into a packing cube can get them pretty tight/compact
  • Coordinate with your friend to avoid carrying any redundant items, share whatever possible (USB brick with multiple ports for charging phones, toothpaste, shampoo, sunscreen, brushes, etc)
  • Checking the forecast may help you eliminate bulky items like a rain shell or sweater perhaps
  • Replace your toiletry bag with a ziploc

    Thank you for all of your ideas! I will remember the ziploc bag. I've usually only done that for planes, but it is undoubtedly practical and less space consuming for other kinds of trips too.

    Luckily we already share most toiletries, but I'll suggest making a shared list and remove any duplicates.
