travel light

Bring less stuff

To travel light is to carry minimal luggage or possessions on a journey: I'm only going for two days, so I'm traveling light.

The phrase extends figuratively to moving through life without excess baggage—emotional, material, or otherwise: After the divorce, he decided to travel light for a while.
