Counting down the days until the pleasant trip comes. We believe some of you may worry about how to pack a suitcase efficiently. Issues like what to bring?, how to save space of the luggage?, afraid of forgetting to bring something with you, excessive weight of the luggage on board etc. Cut off these worries because here are tips of packing your luggage wisely and professionally.
1 Choose the right travel luggage
There are many styles of luggage, which serve different purposes. You should choose the right suitcase for each trip. For example, you may choose a hard-side suitcase with wheels for a long trip, backpacks for adventure trips like jungle Trekking, and water-resistant backpack or handbag for beach or island trip.
2 List out those necessary stuffs first
Write down a list of things you want to take with you on paper before you start packing. Then, lay them out and check them off your list to ensure you don’t forget anything.
3 Get Rid of Musty Smells in Luggage
Making the mistake of leaving your luggage for an extended period of time without using it can result in the bag smelling musty. You can simply eliminate the smell by using a spray or placing your suitcase in direct sunlight. Otherwise, all your clothes will absorb the musty smell from the luggage.
4 Bring right clothing to the luggage space
Bring clothes that are easily mix and match and wearable for days like blue jeans. But if you have to attend some parties, don’t forget to pack some light fabric dress and stripped shoes along with you. This type of clothing can help you save the space of your luggage and make you feel confident and look sexy. For men, it is recommended to carry on separately.
5 Roll Your Clothes
One of the best ways to free up extra space in your luggage is to roll your clothing rather than fold it. Besides it also helps prevent wrinkling of clothing.
6 Fold your scarf in a right way
Fold your scarf into rectangular and then roll both ends towards each others, or you may roll one end to another corner diagonally and then fold the left corner to the right.
7 Tips on packing your shoes
Maintain your shoe shape by filling the front part with paper or socks. Then pack shoes in plastic bags to prevent dirt from rubbing off onto your clothes, and put shoe at the bottom of the luggage.
8 Toilettries for your travel
Pack Your Toiletries such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, body lotion etc. in small travel sized containers. Remember to squeeze air out of containers before putting the lid back on and double-bag these items in plastic in order to avoid air pressure on board.
9 Travel documents to take with you
Whether travelling in country or overseas, you should at least double photocopy important travel documents such as cash, credit cards, identity card, passport, visa, air ticket, insurance policy in case of lost or emergency.
Keep essential documents and papers close to you at all time. Don’t pack them in your suitcase! Both wasting your time on finding them and make you frustrated finally.
10 Take along some extra plastic bags
One important thing to bring when you travel is some several plastic bags. Use them to keep dirty or wet cloths separately so that the rest clothing doesn’t smell badly.
11 better hold small backpack or shoulder bag with you
Separate things like camera case, note book, pencil, cash, cell phone, essential documents, pills, bandage etc. and put them in small carry-on backpack or shoulder bag can help you find things easier and protect you from lost.
