Well in that case you are my hero. I don't know how I could have gotten down to 1 suitcase. It would have been easier to get down to none - that way no having to choose what to leave behind. And that has happened to me before, actually. I had all my possessions packed into a couple of suitcases and a backpack. And I left them outside a friend's house waiting for him to come home. Went for a walk. Came back and they were all gone! Down to zero. That was in Arizona.
Another time I was leaving the Yukon after living there for a year. Crossing the country by Greyhound with all my stuff in a couple of duffel bags under the bus. For the first couple of thousand kilometers I would get out and check at every stop until the luggage compartments under the bus were closed again. Eventually, I got lazy and stopped getting out and checking at each of the dozens of stops. Well, when I got to my destination, you can guess what I saw. My bags were gone and I was down to nothing again!
OMG! What a story!
I guess we have to learn early enough that we actually don't need much anyways and even though you loose so many precious valuable things ....it doesn't really matter.
"We come with nothing and we will go with nothing"
It's been some time I wanted to write about this topic and now you flamed and inspired me.
Such stories need to be told!
You are a wise and experienced man with lots of adventures! 🙌💫
I hope to see you in Lisbon!
