What is love? Some say that love is patient, it is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast itself, is not puffed up, does not act unseemly (rude), does not seek its own things, is not easily provoked, does not impute evil, rejoices not over unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth; it bears all things, it believes all things, it hopes, it endures, it never fails, ...and now there remains faith, hope, and love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love.
What is love? Love is loving your enemies. Love is laying your life down for others. Love is preferring other over self.
Do you love me more than these? Do you love me? Do you dearly love me? said he to him
"verily, verily, I say to you, When you were younger, you were girding yourself and were walking where you would, but when you be old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another will gird you, and shall carry you where you wouldn't." (Jn 21:18)
Love is not about self. Love is acceptance. Love is not about religion. Love is real experience.
What is love? It is not a definition. It is a "someone" Do you have love? Do you believe in love? Jesus is love.
Who is Jesus? Some say that Jesus is patient, He is kind, He does not envy, He does not boast itself, He is not puffed up, He does not act unseemly (rude), He does not seek its own things, He is not provoked, does not impute evil, rejoices not over unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth; He bears all things, He believes all things, He hopes, He endures, He never fails, ...and now there remains faith, hope, and Jesus -- these three; and the greatest of these is Jesus.
Who is Jesus? Jesus loves your enemies. Jesus lays His life down for others. Jesus prefers other over Himself.
Jesus loves you.

Travelling with a small bag (cont.)
Where your treasure is, that's where your heart is.
So, in your wallet/purse, there is now an ID and and IOE.
You might be prompted that you need to carry money at whatever currency the country you are living has.
(Have you ever think this, your dollar can't buy anything in some smaller countries, and this include your credit card. And I'm talking about a really small country that don't have bank or other financial system yet. Yes, there are still some countries without bank.)
So carrying, a huge chunk of monies wouldn't be helpful for this reason. Carrying your multiple credit cards won't even be necessary. I would suggest to carry money just enough to pass the day (to buy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and to get to your destination). To some, it might surprise you at how much money you would save by doing this. You no longer have the ability to buy more than you have planned, of course, no credit card involved. Once you ran out of money, just come back home and rest until the next day :)
Another option, if you ran out of money, you can ask if you can work for somebody for a staying place and food in return.
That's all the essential items that should fit in your small travelling bag.
Wait a minute, what about clothing, my favorite soap, toothbrush. Well, I would give you the recommendation that my friend gave me: "To travel only with the sandals/shoes that you have and whatever you have on you."
First, you want to assimilate right away with the place you are staying. It's like different company has a different dress code. Second, you avoid the hassle of carrying your big luggage.
The same applies with other minimal stuff. Sometimes, people will provide you with the basic health amenities, like towel, soap, toothbrush. This doesn't mean you get to carry them home with you :)
So, at last. When you are travelling with your small bag next time, bring only three things daily (your ID, an IOE, and just enough cash)
Happy travelling.
(ps: if someone wants to share their travelling experience, please put it under comments, thank you)
