Packing Hacks

For some, packing for an evening outing, an extended weekend, or perhaps a two-week vacation, is the norm. nothing will slow down the suitcase and meet the load limits of all the big planes.

For some, even packing lunch at work is often a nightmare, never worry about packing to go to their house for exactly 24 hours. But do not be afraid! I have five creative hacks to help you find everything you would like to beg (and get out) of your low-pressure bag.

First, roll your clothes together.

Arrange clothes (pants or skirts, shirts, socks, underwear) for the day when you will need a change of clothes. If it helps to plan, do the same on the day you dress for the reception (obviously you won’t be collecting these clothes, but sometimes it helps to find out if you still have clean jeans for that day). Fold each pair in half so one leg wide. If it's pants with pockets, put socks in one pocket and shorts under the other; it doesn't matter if they are not exactly the same, it's just a way of living together. If it’s a skirt or pants without pockets, just put these little things around your waist. Fold the shirt or shirts you are proposing to wear with the trousers to match their width and place them on the trousers so that the collar attaches to the belt. Now, fold them together, leaving a small shirt on the side so you can get it quickly and easily. Roll everything as tightly as possible and repeat with each new garment. Then pack them in your suitcase for fuel.

Fill your shoes.

Filling your shoes with cylindrical materials such as shampoo or hairspray bottles serves two purposes: First, it allows two items to enter the same space, and secondly, it helps to prevent the shoe so the bottle can be compressed. But it would be a good idea to put a bottle in an old bag anyway, for your own protection.

If there is enough space on the toe of the shoe, that is a good place to store small valuables or extra money, which brings me to my third entry.

Divide your money.

Although most of us have moved to a stable financial world, most of us still want to have money in the hands of emergencies (such as when you are 1,000+ miles from home and receive a call from your bank with suspicious mastercard work). But carrying a lot of money on your own is not safe and putting you in a suitcase is dangerous if you let that take you out of your sight. So separate. Take only what you would like on the day of the departure of your wallet or purse. If you are flying and using a carry bag over checked luggage, put the remaining half in one bag and a half in the other. That way, if something is lost, damaged, or stolen, you continue to set aside money.

Keep your food bags.

Not everyone, unless you already have to do this for recycling (and if you don't, why not do it?), But keep a few packages. Use garbage bags (especially if you order to search your bedroom and don't want leftover food with a scent on the top; pack and take it out), collect dirty underwear when you're gone, separate wet swimsuits from everything, or, say, how to manage your reminder reception if you accidentally earn too much. Extra note: If you are making money, check the UPS or FedEx near your hotel before leaving home. Some hotels have a on-site delivery center. For a few extra dollars, you will save yourself the pressure of packing (which may be weak but more) as reminders on the plane and just send them home.

Gather things where possible.

As you fold your clothes together to save more space, you will do the same with other things. Taking a sea towel and hiding it in the pool? Get involved. If you would like to pack a pillow and blanket, wrap a blanket and slide it into a pillow bag, or pack a pillow case if your pillow is clean. Get a small wallet with your ID and tickets and put your wallet inside your carry-on bag so you don't have to worry about rushing one item at the airport or train station.

With just a few tricks, you’ll be the kind of person to pack for.
