Take the stress from packing with these 10 tips

The holidays are exciting, but before you get to your destination, you have the not so big task of packing your suitcase.

It is discouraging, especially if you pack for a long trip.

There are two types of holiday packers: people who packed up and refrained from people. Everyone has their interruptions.

Riskers risk, pay expensive fees for overweight luggage, and do not have so fun to pull their suitcases from one end of the airport to the next.

On the other hand, lower listeners could also pay more than expected because they have to buy the essentials that they forgot when they arrive.

Here you can find out how you can intelligently pack for your trip and maybe even insert everything into your hand luggage!

1. Don't wait for the last minute

The first step towards the stress -free pack is not to wait until the last minute to do so! It is more likely that you forget to pack important articles and we don't just mean your underwear! Some things are an absolute must, from your telephone loader to your passport, and it can lead to great headaches and may ruin your trip.

2. Select your suitcase carefully

Regardless of whether you pack for a short or long trip, the type of suitcase you use is important. There are hard and soft suitcases who each have their own advantages and disadvantages. While hard-shell luggage offers more protection and durability, soft suitcases are lighter and more flexible, so that you can create space for a little more space if necessary.

When choosing a case, you also have to consider wheels, actions and safety.

3. Make a list

Stay organized by creating a list of everything you need to pack. Create separate sections for clothing, technology/devices, toilet items, medication and travel documents.

4. Check the weather

If you go on a beach vacation, you may be trying to pack bathing suits, shorts, clothes and other light clothes. However, there could be a few rainy days during their trip, and a back -free Niereck dress will not work. Check the weather a few days before your trip to understand what you can expect.

5. Consider multi -purpose clothing

Avoid packing this by selecting multi -purpose clothing that can be disguised for daily activities and disguised for one night. Jeans are always great because they can take them from casuals in minutes.

6. Organize with packaging cubes

Packaging cubes are a great way to maximize your trunk. It also makes it easier to find that you are looking for when you reach your goal. You don't have to empty your entire bag on your hotel room to find a few socks.

7. Roles, rolling, rolling

If you don't have packaging cubes, it is still a fairly decent way to pack yourself intelligently instead of folding them instead of folding them. It not only saves space, but also prevents your clothing from folding.

8. It's all about the layers

If you do not use the packaging cubes or the roller method, make sure that you lay your clothes correctly in your suitcase. Shoes are below, heavier objects such as jackets next, and lighter objects are up.

9. Don't forget the fragile objects

Use a towel or clothing to pillow fragile objects. It is also a good idea to put it in the middle of your suitcase, as inserting from below or very up can lead to it is handled at the airport.

10. Keep yourself calm and transported (your luggage)

It seems impossible, but you can pack everything you need for your vacation in your hand luggage. The digital creator Erica Louie packed clothes in her hand luggage bag for a month. No, she didn't pack clothes worth 30 days, she only grabbed clever.

You can also consider the 5-4-3-2-1 or 3-2-1 rule, a packaging technique that limits you to a certain amount of clothing: 5 tops, 4 floors, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 layer pieces or clothes and 1 accessory such as sunglasses or hat.

You can play around with the numbers and objects, but this is also a good way to optimally use the package light, especially if you pack multi -purpose clothing.

The goal is to travel as easy as possible without leaving anything bare off and at the same time ensuring that you have enough space for souvenirs!

Have fun packing!
