Why The Lighter Bag? What is the meaning behind the name?

1.I love traveling light. Once I realized I was able to fit all of my possessions into a 40 liter bag, I try to always travel this way. Except if I’m going to a winter destination and need to pack a thick winter coat, ski pants, etc. I have been traveling light now and it’s my intention with each trip to only take the essentials. It’s really freeing to realize you don’t need much to be happy, and as long as you have you’r small backpack you have everything you need.

2. The lighter bag is not just meant as inspiration to pack light physically, but also mentally. It’s about getting rid of whatever is holding you back. To free yourself from whatever is holding you back from traveling or whatever it is that is calling you and speaking to your soul. It took me a really long time to free myself mentally and then physically from the relationship I was in. I realized I was holding myself back for so long from living a more authentic life. I feel like a late bloomer. However instead of staying stuck in the past and feeling like a victim, I prefer to carry all the lessons with me from my mistakes and live each day now as best I can.

3. I think of The Lighter Bag as a bag that spreads light. For each person that chooses a more authentic life – for me it’s making travel a big part of my life – you can fill your cup, and then use that light to spread your light to others. I hope to keep spreading love and light into the world. It’s really only by changing ourselves that we can inspire others to live a better life.
