Travel Tips for Minnesotans: Why Rick Steves Says Packing Light Is the Only Way to Go (WATCH)
“There are two kinds of travelers: those who pack light, and those who wished they had.” – Rick Steves 🌐 #News #StPaulMN #Minnesota #Travel
ST. PAUL, MN — Rick Steves is back with a no-nonsense truth bomb about travel — and it starts with your suitcase. In a quick yet punchy segment from Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide, he doubles down on his famous “pack light” mantra with a mix of humor, practical advice, and travel-tested wisdom beloved by Minnesotans and folks around the world. Watch the video at the bottom of this short article!
From the jump, Rick’s got one goal: to make sure you’re mobile. He calls out over-packers with a smile, joking that if your partner’s lugging your stuff, “you’re abusing your spouse.” And he’s not wrong — navigating old European cities, pedestrian zones, and airport hops is way easier with a single carry-on-sized bag.
His recommendation? 9 by 22 by 14 inches — no exceptions. Whether it’s summer or winter, two weeks or two months, man or woman, Rick insists anyone can do it. And if you’re still skeptical? He says his all-female staff packs just as light — and they’ve got their own talks to prove it.
Want to see how passionate Rick really gets about zipping through Europe with one small bag? Watch the full clip now and rethink everything you thought you knew about packing.
