Master the art of packing

Your task becomes a lot easier if you start off with a list. Jot down your list of essentials such as clothing, toiletries, travel documents and any other items you may need depending on the destination you are travelling to. Be as specific as possible so when you actually get to packing, you’re mentally prepared and avoid overpacking.

One of the best travel tips you can put into action is rolling your clothes instead of folding. It not only helps maximising space but also helps you avoid wrinkles and ensures you have an organised suitcase.

An unconventional but a sure shot way to keep your suitcase organised is by using packing cubes. It helps categorize your items, such as tops, bottoms, and accessories, into separate cubes. It gives your suitcase a neater look and also allows you to just unpack what you need instead of disorganising the whole suitcase. 

If you think you are going to need a whole bottle of shampoo for a 5 day trip, think again. Instead of carrying full-size toiletries, switch to travel-sized versions or even check up online if you can find your preferred brand of products is available at your destination and you can just buy, use and dispose it there. Just imagine the outfits and shoes you can fit in place of the toiletries. 

One of the most important things to remember while packing is that your luggage cannot exceed the weight limit especially when you’re flying to your destination. So, what’s a sure shot way to ensure you’re comfortable on your plane ride and your luggage is well under limit? Layering up. Airplane cabins can be unpredictable in terms of temperature so you can wear layers during your flight to easily adjust to changes in temperature without overpacking.

Packing for a trip doesn't have to be a source of stress. By incorporating these travel tips and tricks into your routine, you can pack your luggage like a pro and focus on enjoying the adventure that awaits you. Safe travels!
