Val's Packing Guide · Field Guide Nº 01

How to pack a month in a single carry-on

I spent an hour with Val, who packs for a living, and wrote down every trick worth keeping — the carry-on packing list that has never once seen a checked bag, the five-minute wrinkle fix, and exactly what to pack for two weeks (and what to leave behind). It's yours, free.
