We know packing for the holiday might be a little stressful so we decide to provide easy tips to help ease your stress.

Follow these tips and you’ll be glad you did!

1.Make A List

The first and most important tip you must take note of when travelling is to make a list of what you’ll need. It is sensible to make a packing list so you won’t end up stuffing a whole bunch of random clothes into your suitcase.

You can make this list days before you travel so you don’t leave anything you might need on your trip. It would also help you pack smart and light.

2. Choose the Right Bag

Packing well begins with choosing the right bag. For women, having the option of an adjustable length is often important as those of us who are more petite often struggle with big bags.

A well-designed bag will make packing a breeze and will help you remain organized through the duration of your trip. Finally, a carry on bag is preferable to a larger roller bag. You’ll save money on checked bag fees and enjoy greater freedom of movement.

3.Arrange Your Clothes Properly

A great way to save suitcase space and make sure that your clothes don’t crease is to store them in tight rolls instead of stacking them on top of each other. This way, even a cramped suitcase can easily house more items than you expect.

4.Pack Only What You Need

Emphasis on ‘only what you need’. Since most of your clothes can be worn twice, there is no need packing 7 different outfits for a one week trip. You don’t have to take a lot of trousers since you can wear them twice. Flat shoes are also the best choice when travelling, a high heel or two is enough.

5.Add Extra Underwears

Ensure to check if you need a strapless bra, a seamless pant etc. Unlike clothes, you cannot wear your undies more than once (with the exception of bras of course) so depending on your lineup of activities, it is best to pack extra panties for the entire trip. You don’t want to run out of clean underwear.

6.Do Not Put Your Makeup Items In Your Box

Make sure you don’t pack your makeup items in your box so they don’t get broken while travelling especially for road trips. You can put in your handbags, they are safer there.
