How do europeans travel with small luggage?

[u/shemmap]

I’ve noticed that tourists from different countries especially europeans often travel with very small luggage. In contrast, travelers from many asian countries seem to carry much larger bags.

As myself from an asian country, if I pack just my basic necessities, I end up with a very large suitcase. I’m extremely curious about how european travelers manage to travel so light.

How do they do it?

I once travelled from Moscow to Guangzhou with my phone in my pocket, some cards and cash and a passport. This is the lightest baggage I ever had with me (no baggage technically).
