You just can't keep on relying on your co-passengers for going to the rest room. A lightweight bag on your shoulder should carry everything. Stuff in the clothes sensibly. Go for t-shirts that are versatile enough to be matched with most of the bottoms. Invest in sleek jackets instead of the bulky ones. Even the style of men's underwear should be skimpy, but functional. Jockstrap underwear or even boxer briefs is perfect for the adventures and will occupy less place in the bag.
