Are you a carry-on queen trapped in an overpacker’s body? I’m sharing some expert travel packing tips on our travel podcast this week.

Melbourne stylist Sally Mackinnon is founder of the viral @styledbysally instagram account, and my guest on of The World Awaits podcast. She shares with me her packing hacks and how you can genuinely travel stylishly with carry-on only.

She talks through what she describes as the magical Sudoku packing method. Jump onto the podcast to hear the full ep, with more fantastic packing and travel style tips on the current ep. Try it and tell me if it works – I’d love to hear about your experiences!

Sally also shares ideal boarding outfit, which has no whiff of a hoodie about it. “I do think we’ve lost the plot with plane travel style,” she says. “There’s nothing wrong with making an effort. Because how you dress influences the way you feel.”

For more great fashion and travel tips, grab a copy of Sally’s book, Styled: How to dress as your most stylish self.

And huge news – I have launched my travel-writing tour of Algeria, departing March 2027!  Join me on an adventure through the Sahara and souqs, kasbahs and the footprints of civilisations past!
