我们痛恨沉重的行李，而且我们知道“痛恨”是个很重的词。现在就告诉你轻装出行的20个好处。
1. You never have to worry at check-in.

Spend that last bit of foreign currency! You won’t be paying any unexpected overages here.
花掉钱包里最后一张外币吧！你不用交任何意想不到的额外费用。
2. You are in complete control of your belongings.
你能完全掌握你的行李。
So when that random nice guy offers to help you with your luggage, and you immediately have visions of them running off with said luggage, you don’t have to lie while saying, “Oh, I’m fine, thanks.”
所以当某个好男孩儿主动提出要帮你拿行李、你又马上联想到他会把你那些多的拿不过来的行李拿跑的时候，你就不用撒谎说：“噢，我自己能行，谢谢。”
3. Your back doesn’t hurt.
后背不疼。
Because you don’t need any of that when you travel.

脚不疼。
That’s the last thing you want when you travel!
这是旅行时最讨厌的事！
5. It’s easier to pick out outfits since you have fewer choices.
带的衣服少了，出门时搭配衣服更容易了。
