sharing space, objects, situations, and information is an essential part of life.
travelling light is a service design project to be implemented in hostels
which aims to bring to travellers an enhanced experience through sharing.
the system would provide goods and information a traveller needs.

through sharing objects, travellers will have no need to carry heavy luggage;
through sharing space and information, they can easily meet new people,
learn about places of interest and save time. the system also promotes local economies,
fosters social relations between guests and staff, and offers new possibilities
for sustainable tourism.
