Even after knowing the things that happen when travelling it is a challenge I am still dealing with. I ALWAYS find I could have packed less – and I have been facing this for decades. I have a practice of taking a certain amount of old clothes that I plan to discard as I go (a final day of wear) – and it creates space to bring something back in it’s place.
Regarding weight, I am always working around that variable because I am always sacrificing my own space for that of equipment and gear. It makes me think about packing light. However, I have had things confiscated at airports because I wasn’t thinking like they do. The last thing I want is wine or olive oil smashing in my luggage so I carry it with me only to have it taken away at security. They just throw it away. What a waste of money (and planning).
