When I first started traveling for work, I would pack way too many shoes. Now I’ve got it down to an exact science.

I only travel with a carry-on, so that helps prevent overpacking. Bringing too many shoes definitely used to be a problem.

Proud master packer here. Time in the military and then traveling to 54 countries with the firm gets it down to a science and I never check a bag when traveling for work. I can live for a week out of my bag.

But with that said, I do tend to over pack protein bars and am always thinking I am going to more work related reading on my flights then actually gets done. However motivating to go through it as my bag gets lighter if I can toss what I read.
