Traveling light is not always easy.
So being clever to save the smallest space in the suitcase is quite an art.
Here are some tips on how to do it:
- Use travel organizers
- Make a list of your essentials (to be divided into 3 categories: clothes and accessories, toiletry and medicine kits, multimedia...) to take only the bare minimum
- Prepare your looks in advance so that you have outfits that are appropriate for the outings and activities
- Take only the basic and practical clothes you are used to (no need to bother with clothes you are not sure to wear!)
- Roll your clothes (especially for soft, lightweight materials that may have wrinkles).
- Fold wrinkle-free clothes (t-shirts, sweaters, jeans...) and store them upright.
- Choose optimized suitcases with pockets, compartments, solid attachments...
- Wrap your socks
inside the shoes.
- Place heavy items (shoes, toilet bags, etc.) towards the wheels.
- Stack your underwear
rather than balled up.
- Place fragile objects
in the socks.
- Use vacuum covers: put your clothes in a plastic container and suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner. .
The volume will be divided by 4 but make sure you have the means to do the same technique on your return. .
- Do the ranger packing technique which involves rolling several outfits together
