Packing is an art form. Whether you're a minimalist backpacker or a frequent flyer, these hacks will change the way you travel.
1. Roll, Don't Fold
It's the oldest trick in the book because it works. Rolling your clothes saves space and minimizes wrinkles. For extra organization, use the 'ranger roll' for your t-shirts and socks.
2. Packing Cubes are Mandatory
If you don't use packing cubes, you're doing it wrong. They act like drawers for your backpack, keeping your clean clothes separate from your laundry and making it easy to find what you need without unpacking everything.
Space-Saving Secret
Stuff your shoes with socks. Not only does it save space, but it also helps your shoes maintain their shape during travel.
3. The 5-4-3-2-1 Rule
- 5 sets of socks and underwear
- 4 tops (mix and match)
- 3 bottoms (jeans, shorts, skirt)
- 2 pairs of shoes (walking and dressy)
- 1 hat/accessory
Remember: You don't need a different outfit for every day. Focus on versatile pieces that work together!
