Yes, two weeks in a single carry-on is possible — even in cool weather. The trick is a tight color palette and layering.
Capsule wardrobe
- 3 t-shirts (neutral colors)
- 1 long-sleeve top
- 1 light merino sweater
- 2 trousers (1 chino, 1 lightweight)
- 1 pair shorts
- 1 swimsuit
- 1 lightweight rain jacket
- 2 pairs shoes (1 walking, 1 nicer flat)
Toiletries
Solid shampoo + conditioner bars eliminate liquid restrictions. Microfiber towel takes 1/4 the space of cotton.
Tech
Universal adapter, 10,000 mAh power bank, phone, kindle. Skip the laptop unless essential.
