It’s all wonderful advice, except for the whole “one pair of shoes” bit.

I’m a runner, and if I’m going somewhere for more than a day or two, I’m gonna have to put on the stinky, muddy running shoes and pound the trails. Those stinky, putrid shoes are not the sort of things I can wear to, say, a business meeting. Or a dinner. Or anywhere in mixed company.

So, sadly, I’m always travelling with at least two pairs of shoes. I make up for it by wadding all my clothing into tiny little balls and shoving them into the cracks between things (shoving my running clothes, in fact, inside the filthy shoes).
