How to do packing smartly ?
Regular Travelers should keep it less, as it saves a lot of time. Also the lesser luggage you are carrying, the more it is easy to manage. Apart from keeping it less, there are important things, which can just ease your headache.
1. Tag your Bag
The point looks very
common. But saves a lot of time. I suggest keep the bag highlighted. On the
handle or somewhere just cover it with bright color cloth or something, this
will reduce your stress to 5% to search your bag. This is the smartest way to
recognize your luggage from too far.
2. Don’t keep valuables/cash in check in
Luggage gets lost in
transit, sometimes taken by the wrong person and you may find it for 10 days or
a month later. There is no security also, it may get open when out of
sight. it takes just one dishonest bag
handler to put your valuables at risk.
3. Carry essentials on the plane
Carry essentials with
you like medication, make-up, a change - can be a pajama, ear plugs, basic
needs. If your luggage gets lost and is not returned to you the same day, Some
basic and must things which you can’t avoid for a day should be kept with and
not be sent in the check-in.
4. Roll your clothes
This is an amazing
hack which is not very popular, but you are going to love this one. Rolling
clothes will save ample of space, also no wrinkle on the clothes will be there
when you unpack, And for my convenience,
put all the need of one day in the roll - like undergarments, socks, the
pair of cloth, scarf. So whenever I unroll it - I have everything I need for
that day. That saves huge time.you
5. Try to keep 2-3 tops and 1 bottom
Though this sound
little weird - but when you are traveling, it is very important that see the
place in the best way. Looking good is important too, but the purpose of
traveling is to explore the new place and adventure.
6. Seal pack everything
The basic principle
of taking food, pack everything in the leak-proof bag. Anything can leak
anytime.
7. Plan if you are going to shop
If shopping is on
your destination agenda, save room in your suitcase. Also, keep some bags which
can be squeezed as a small pouch and can also be used to keep your shopping
stuff.
8. keep your toiletry bag packed
Very easy and smart
way! This is a major point concerned with hygiene and comfort. I like the
cosmetic bags designed for travel, the ones unzip a bunch of different ways.
With the strap, the bag can be used as a carry-on.
Keep xerox of all the
documents. It is not possible to find the shop for photocopy that easies in an
unknown place. It is always a good idea to keep photocopies as well as extra
passport size photos with you. These tricks will surely reduce your pain of
packing. Have happy traveling!
