    I apply the Goldilock's principle and pack just right.

    Over pack I guess.

    No matter how few items I put in my one carry-on, I always seem to come home with at least one item unused

    I under pack because I always want to travel light. I can always buy additional anything anyway in my destination. I've done that several times.

  • Neither. I pack exactly what I need, no more, no less. I've moved around and travelled far too extensively to do otherwise.

    I very slightly over pack but I can still get away with one medium sized duffel or small suitcase. I pack light!

    I overpack on things like underwear, and socks. I don't want to run out of clean ones of those.

    I tend to underpack on other things. Mostly because I don't mind wearing the same clothes on a second day - as long as my undies are clean :)

    I overpack to a ridiculous degree, especially considering that I have a tendency to wear the same clothes over and over again...

    Over Pack! I have been somewhere so many times when I have had to go buy clothes, either for the cold or the hot weather. So now I pack two soft side bags, and a carry on with a change of clothes & toiletries, in case the friggin airlines loose my luggage again. Enough that I will have anything I need. Well most of the time anyway!

    I tend to overpack only because I get involved in some many diverse events such as the beach during the day, a formal gathering at night, costume parties, and gifts for friends and family--taking and receiving.

    I tend to underpack. That way I have room for all the things I will inevitably buy while traveling.

    A little of both. I over-pack because I'm afraid I'll forget or need something. But, alas...I always forget something.

    If I fly and rent a car, I underpack. Just a carry on. If I drive, I over pack and take the kitchen sink. I might need it later.

    Under pack but by design. I have taken several motorcycle trips over the years and over packing always made for a tedious trip. But then, most of my trips were never planned. I would head in the general direction I wanted to for the day and see what wonders I would encounter.

    I have traveled quite a bit and now have it down to a science. I pack just right. I have gone to Europe for a week with just a small carry-on.

    i suppose i underpack?

    due to the lack of accompanying portier, everytime i travel, i could only allow myself to use half of the luggage space(carry on size), and so far, i do pretty well with the essentials, travelling is about going out and about, and if i want to play with all those stuff in the luggage instead, well, wouldnt i be better off saving my time instead of being belted to the plane seat those hours.

    I always overpack. I bring so much stuff with me and somehow I almost always manage to forget something essential, like underwear or deoderant or something!
