Packing light can make your travel experience much more enjoyable. It saves you time, money, and stress, and allows you to be more mobile and flexible.
Taking into account the duration of the trip, the possibilities of washing or reusing some things and the number of times you will change locations during your trip, packing light can make a difference.
Here is the ultimate guide to packing light and efficiently for any trip:
· The 7 Tips: ·
1. Make a list:
Before you start packing, make a list of the items you need. Consider the length of your trip, the climate of your destination, and the activities you will be doing.
The list must be done in 2 parts.
- First you must make a list without considering the quantities, only what you need. For example, T-shirts, pants, underwear, exercise clothes, the type of footwear, etc.
- Once you have the list, review your itinerary and see how many times you need to wear each type of clothing. If you are at the beach you probably need to wear a bathing suit every day but it doesn’t mean it has to be a different one each day. So, here you will see how much you can reuse the suits you wear and that way you will not pack one daily but still you will cover your needs with more than one if you need to.
2. Choose versatile clothing:
Pack clothing that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. Choose neutral colors that can be dressed up or down.
You know, light colors for heat, dark colors for cold. Look for all your clothes to match all your shoes. It does not mean that you are going to use it that way but you should have the possibility to do so.
Also look for clothing that can have multiple uses, such as t-shirts that work for the beach and for eating out and even for exercising.
3. Roll your clothes:
Rolling your clothes instead of folding them can save space and prevent creases.
Take a look at the video below for a step-by-step tutorial, plus some other space-saving tips. Once you learn it, you’ll never go back.
4. Pack only the essentials:
Leave behind items that you don’t absolutely need. This can include excess toiletries, multiple pairs of shoes, and heavy books.
Do you remember your list? Now is the time to see which of the things you have on the list can serve the purpose of others.
Likewise when it comes to grooming things like moisturizer and sunscreen, look to take a cream that already has sunscreen and more.
Here the important thing is not to get things you may need but to make them more efficient. Instead of books, look for ways to carry them electronically or disposable and more.
5. Use packing cubes or Special luggage:
Packing cubes can help you organize your belongings and make it easier to find what you need, to unpack and to move around.
Also check the unfolding closets or if you’re in for something MORE, check Royce & Rocket luggage
6. Use a carry-on size luggage:
Choose a carry-on size luggage to avoid checked baggage fees and the risk of lost luggage. It’s no only cheaper and you could actually use 2 or more if you need too (you may have to pay for the second one).
Using carry-on will make you use small bathroom products, travel size perfumes, and liquid bottles that will automatically make your luggage more efficient.
7. Wear your heaviest items:
Wear your heaviest items, such as your jacket and shoes, on the plane to save space in your luggage.
