Packing Tips

I am an avid traveler, both on ground and in the air, and for me, packing is the most stressful process of traveling. Trying to pack two weeks of clothes in carry on is stressful, especially when I have the baggage restrictions in mind. I have rounded up a step by step tutorial on how to pack a 2 or more week trip in a smaller suitcase. 

First, lay everything out. Keeping every step organized makes me feel more on top of my travel plans. Also, I like to complete this process many weeks before departure so that I have time to round up items that need purchasing. 

Second, roll ALL of your clothes and secure then with a rubber band. Trust me, this may seem extreme, but it will save you loads of space in your bag. Every clothing item should be folded before you start to put things in your suitcase. 

Third, lay your shoes on the bottom. 

Keeping bulky items that take up space will help reduce clutter inside your bag. Also, it lets you have easy access to your clothes in the airport in case your flight is delayed.

Fourth, layer the rolls of clothing. Add one layer of clothing bundles on top of the shoes, then another. Then another, until all of your clothes are neatly packed. 

I hope this helped conserve your space and make your traveling easier! Enjoy!
