Things to Leave at Home to Instantly Feel Like a Travel Pro

4. Bulky Hardcover Books: Embrace Digital Libraries

While the tactile pleasure of a physical book is undeniable, heavy hardcover books are inefficient travel companions. Embrace the digital age and bring your entire library with you—without the bulk. Invest in a lightweight e-reader like a Kindle or Nook, or simply download reading apps to your smartphone or tablet. This switch not only frees up significant suitcase space but provides access to countless titles, guidebooks, and professional documents at your fingertips, making your travel reading lighter, more versatile, and instantly accessible.
