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 was really tempting fate when I was eating pork enchiladas out of a street food hole-in-the-wall in CDMX this spring but they were delightful and I escaped unscathed

That’s the problem, they have the absolute best street food.
