To pack or not to pack: what shouldn’t you take on a trip

Going on a trip, it seems necessary to grab the most useful devices to be ready for any situation. Hundreds of guides highlight various things definitely worth taking on a trip, there are even special applications with checklists. However, little is said about the items that can become a superfluous cargo for the traveler. There is no doubt that the wisest course for any tourist is packing light. Here is the list of things you’d better leave at home.

A laptop
Remember how many times you took a laptop with you - and how many times you opened it. If you are not on a business trip, then you can do without a computer.

In such a situation, this option will be the best decision.

Smart clothes
Evening dress or expensive jacket - these are typical one-time clothes. They are uncomfortable and, surely, designed for one or two outings during the trip. But believe me, there is no strict dress code in the majority of the cultural places.

Food
