About

Hey! I'm Regan (it sounds like vegan). I love a cheap flight, which means I spend a lot of time traveling with just a personal item that goes under the seat in front of me. But when I started looking for advice, I realized I couldn't relate to a lot of it... either it was coming from guys, who frankly just don't need the same things as women, or from people who are minimalists. And even though I'm traveling minimally, I'm not a minimalist! So, I started sharing the ways that I travel light while still feeling like myself. I hope that these tips help you travel lighter too!
