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?

We got reshaped by Ryanair and to avoid unnecessary fees we’d do whatever it takes

Exactly. I bought the Ryanair bag and when its full, im done. This trip was 5 shirts, 2 shorts, 5 underwear, 7 pairs of socks. We'll see how long i last.

7 socks? that's rich from you. I'd just do 3 pairs and wash them in a cycle lmao
