20 Golden Principles for Efficient Travel Packing
Packing is always a challenging issue for many. Not everyone reveals the best way to organize belongings. Here are 20 principles you should know to become a 'packing expert'.
1. Make a list of essentials to pack.
2. Opt for a lightweight suitcase. The ones with wheels will make your travel comfortable and ensure maximum protection for your belongings.
3. Opt for easily combinable and quick-drying clothes. Cotton and khaki fabrics take the lead in priority.
4. Utilize dual-purpose clothing, like using a jacket as a pillow or folding long pants into shorts.
5. Categorize personal items and place them in separate nylon bags. This will help you find what you need more quickly.
6. Organize your items in layers. The preferred order is as follows: footwear, T-shirts, long pants, dresses, accessories, work-related items, and on top of that, dress shirts.
7. Roll the belt and tuck it inside the collar of the dress shirt.
8. Bring only a sufficient amount of toothpaste, facial cleanser, shampoo, etc.
9. To save suitcase space and keep things flat, roll your clothes.
10. Use suitcase locks to ensure the safety of your belongings.
11. Avoid bringing things that are available at your destination.
12. Always keep a small empty compartment in your suitcase for souvenirs.
13. Send luggage ahead of time if you have a lot to carry. Shipping costs may be cheaper than checking it in.
14. Attach sticky notes to your suitcase to quickly identify your belongings.
15. If possible, do laundry during the trip.
16. Use additional moisture-resistant paper and scented sheets to keep clothes fresh.
17. Keep tickets and passports in the easiest-to-find place.
18. Prepare pain relievers, fever reducers, anti-diarrhea medication, cotton swabs, and oxygen if needed.
19. Avoid placing valuable items like laptops, cameras, etc., in checked luggage.
20. Carry extra nylon bags for contingency situations.
