Shoes
Shoes can be used for more than just protecting your feet. When you are planning your outfits, it can lead to many shoes going into your suitcase. Shoes can waste a lot of space unless they are flip-flops. Shoes can be used to protect breakable items or house other needed objects. Always put those items in a plastic bag. If whatever is spilled or does happen to break, it will not damage the shoe. The other reason would be to prevent any smell from transferring to the items. When it comes to packing, you need all the space you can get, even the space inside your shoes.
Pack In Order
When packing clothes pack in an order instead of just putting clothes in. Most have some sort of plan about what they will be wearing and when. Pack in that order. The things you will be wearing first should be at the top. Those things you are unsure if you will need or will be wearing later in the trip should be toward the bottom. Also, knowing where everything is will help you not leave anything behind. It will also help you find your items fast, leaving more time for adventure.
Laundry Bags
A laundry bag or two can be used for many different uses while traveling. If you have multiple stops on your trip, you will want a way to separate clean from dirty clothes. Having a bag to place your worn clothes in will keep your other clothes cleaned while changing locations. This is helpful if you have things like swimsuits that are not completely dry or other severely soiled clothing. It will help you make it between the times you can’t get to a washer.
Take some of these tips and see if they help ease your packing. Once you find the best method, traveling will be more stress-free.
