When going on a trip you don’t want to bring too much stuff, too little stuff, or have your stuff arrive in a crumpled mess. Everyone has their own way to pack but this will help you improve your packing when travelling
Create a packing list
Instead of trying to figure out what you need to pack, create a packing list of items . A packing list not only ensures that you won’t forget anything important (especially the little things that are easily overlooked while rushing out the door), it also prevents you from over packing. This will help you cut down on expensive baggage fees.
Check the Weather
Check what the weather is going to be like where you are going before you pack. Forecasts these days go hour by hour, so you can see what you’ll need to be comfortable in morning, noon, and night. Weather.com is a great resource for weather report.Also, call the friend you’re visiting, or someone who has been where you’re going, and ask if your destination has any quirky weather patterns.
Packing Clothes
Don’t forget a pair of pyjama pants to sleep in because you will not like using your clothes as pyjamas. Alternate Folding is a way to avoid creases in clothing and is done by placing one garment between the folds of another garment. By placing another garment between the folds, you can prevent a crease from forming.
Shoes are often dirty and can soil your clothes. Put shoes in a newspaper or in a plastic bag and place them on top of all your stuff in the suitcase.
Packing Toiletries
Toiletries must be packed in your carry-on bag together with undergarments as well. Bags often get lost or misplaced so you do not want to end up without a toothbrush, toothpaste, undergarments or deodorant.
