Here are some pro tips on what to pack and why
- Documents of Identification: when you are travelling, the most essential thing you need to carry is your identification and other documents. Anything else in your bag is not half as important as the documents you need.
- Research on the restrictions of baggage: it is always smart to know how much you are allowed to carry and the tariffs for excess baggage. It can save a lot of space and help you pack accordingly.
- Skip carrying bulky footwear: Wear your most cumbersome footwear and make sure you stick to one pair. Carrying more than one pair takes up too much space and makes your bag look clunky. This also means more storage space for your holiday shopping. You can squeeze in a pair of flip flops just in case you need a casual alternative.
- Toiletry and cosmetics should be a bare minimum: Toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and other cosmetics should be packed in a separate dry bag. It is also smart to carry zip lock pouches to store anything that get wet. You can check with the hotel you are staying in if they provide towels. If they do, you just saved a lot of space in your bag. A pack of tissues or wet wipes can help out in sticky situations.
- Roll, don’t fold: Rolling clothes will save you a lot of space compared to folding them. You can start with smaller garments to the bigger garments according to the frequency of their need. Its smarter to pack clothes which are durable and can be reused if needed. Packing according to the weather conditions of your destination can be helpful. Delicates can be put together and a dryer sheet can be used to avoid the body odor. The lighter you pack, the easier it is to load and unload items from your bag.
- Essentials: A first aid kit can be broken out for any emergency or accidents. Carrying a torch can also come in handy at dark corners. A compass will make sure you are in the right direction. Electronic chargers and adapters should be packed in a separate waterproof bag.
- Snacks: You can carry a couple of protein bars and sustainable food to pacify your hunger.
- Don’ts: Do not carry any unnecessary liquids in the bag to avoid spilling and leakage. Do not over pack and make your bag obese. Do not carry anything flammable in the bag.
