Today on Heading Off we meet a Hamilton nurse who's travelled the world with nothing but a single backpack weighing only 5 kgs.

Katherine Leamy calls herself the 5kg traveller, and she's here to impart some wisdom for those of us who struggle with travelling light.

 

She joins Jesse to share her tips for keeping luggage light and embracing adventure as a solo traveller.
