About Me
Welcome to my Blog
Helping You Travel More With Less
Hi there, I’m Christine, author of One Small Bag. I’m glad you found me. I’m a frequent traveller, for both work and fun and life long light packer.
For me, travel doesn’t have to be expensive or conventional to be life-changing. Here I’ll be sharing stories of trips around Europe with just a small bag including itineraries for point to point travel by public transport. I’m particularly keen on the Balkans and countries from the former USSR, including Moldova. I’m also fascinated by European microstates and other geographical oddities too.
And if you’re looking to lighten your load, so you can adventure with baggage freedom, do check my light packing content.
