I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are.

In this remark, von Furstenberg links “traveling light” to a broader philosophy of mobility and self-management: reducing physical and mental baggage so experience can take priority over possessions. The emphasis shifts quickly from packing to temperament—cultivating a “good mood” as the most portable resource, one that makes any location livable and any itinerary more rewarding. It reflects a cosmopolitan, pragmatic outlook often associated with frequent travelers and public figures: control what you can (attitude, expectations) and let circumstances vary without diminishing enjoyment. The quote’s significance lies in reframing luxury not as accumulation, but as ease, adaptability, and emotional resilience.
