Are you up for the challenge? A gap year with hand luggage only?
It has it's benefits - a light bag, quick check in and a quick exit, and less confusion about what you'll take!
Bobbie Edsor, of Business Insider US, has written a great piece to help you work out how it's done best...

Photographer Jill Paider has become somewhat of an expert on travelling with nothing but a cabin bag. Among the 102 countries she’s visited, Paider took nothing but hand luggage to 91 of them.

Paider spoke to the Evening Standard and revealed how she makes it possible to travel so light, so often.
