Rick Steves, the popular European guidebook author and travel show host, advises travelers to pack light and only bring a carry-on bag to avoid airport chaos and increase flexibility. He also recommends scheduling airline connections with plenty of time and making top reservations in advance to avoid long lines. Steves suggests avoiding overcrowded tourist spots and embracing local culture instead. His best piece of advice is to assume you will return and not try to do everything on one trip.
