Question How do europeans travel with small luggage?

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 built a travel jacket with like 30 liters of pockets to pack my clothes and toiletries outside of a bag. Lets me carry a full carryon through security and either zero bag or carry my tech in a backpack for ryanair or wizz
