KNOW WHAT TO PACK
When we travel, we try to bring everything we need as much as we can. But admit it, there will be things that you’ll have to let go to avoid over baggage or having that bulgy effect on your travel backpack. Here are some tips and pointers to review before packing your things for that most awaited trip.
1. Roll your clothes. You’re literally going to have more space if you do this technique. If you’ll be traveling for a week, bring clothes good for a week only plus one set of extra clothes (who knows? There might be certain circumstances when you’re not in control and you need to have that extra shirt). Don’t bring too much as this will just consume space.
2. Bring your travel toiletries, not your whole toiletries at home. Your big bottle of shampoo and bar of soap, your bottle of lotion and other girly items – they are all bulky. A lot of department stores and shops sell travel bottles. Just fill in those tiny containers and bottles and make sure to label them so you won’t be confused. Worried it might spill over inside your luggage? Worry not. Uncap the bottle, put the plastic on top of the opened lid and have it sealed with the cap (as what is shown in the photo below). Also, most hotels have towels already so you won’t really need to bring that (you can also bring a face towel).
3. For packing your shoes or slippers, I suggest to have it packed in a shoe organizer to avoid having dirt on your clothes inside the luggage. You can also put your socks inside your shoes to maximize the space left. But I suggest, you can just wear your shoes even still at the airport because it’s really bulky. You can, however, pack your sandals or slippers inside your luggage as these are thinner usually compared to rubber shoes.
4. Have a separate storage/space for your undergarments. You wouldn’t want these exposed automatically when you open your luggage, right? Besides, it’ll keep your brassieres in good shape. You can also insert here your socks and handkerchiefs to consume the whole space.
5. Passport, visa and other related documents should stay with you always. These are very important. If you plan to check in your baggage, DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT to leave your documents inside your checked in luggage. There are some instances wherein luggages are late or even lost!
6. Your itinerary copy should be along with your documents. Or, you can take a photo of it for easier viewing (since we are actually using phones most of the time now).
7. Bring your power bank with you along with your charger too. Who knows where your feet my bring you. You don’t need to worry about getting a low battery on your trip. Taking lots of pictures can also drain your battery life fast.
8. You can bring your hat and sunglasses for sun protection but I suggest not to have it packed in the luggage to save space. Wear it instead.
9. DO NOT put your laptop or gadget inside a checked in luggage. So many things could go wrong and you wouldn’t want to be in trouble anytime soon. If you’re bringing gadgets, make it fit in your hand carried bag.
10. Don’t forget to bring your camera with charger (in case you won’t be using smart phones and you prefer to put into use your photography skills with your DSLR).
