Tip 1: Roll Your Clothes
You have probably heard this before, but you guys NEED to roll your clothes. It totally saves room! If you need even more space, I would recommend using a space bag (those plastic bags that you vacuum the air out of). That way you don’t have to worry about cramming your entire wardrobe into your suitcase!
Tip 2: Put Washi Tape On Your Electronics
If you’re traveling with family or friends, it’s more than likely that you’ll accidentally mistake your electronics for another person’s. By putting the same pattern washi tape on your electronics, it’s so much easier to identify your electronics from the rest. Not to mention, it looks super cute too!
Tip 3: Place Shoes In A Showercap
If you don’t like putting your shoes on top of your clothes when you pack your suitcase, you can use a shower cap instead! Stick your shoes inside a shower cap before placing it on top of your clothes. Alternatively, you can use a plastic grocery bag or a Ziploc bag, anything you have on hand to prevent your clothes from getting dirty! Super easy and neat!
Tip 4: Put Underwear In Shoes To Save Space
Is it just me, or is there never enough room in my suitcase (I’m a notorious overpacker)? I like to roll up my socks and underwear and stick them inside of my shoes to save even more space. My shoes smell pretty good most of the time though, so if your shoes stink I would not recommend doing this (just kidding).
Tip 5: Store Money in Several Places
This will save your butt if you ever get your wallet stolen. What I like to do is put money in a few different places, so that if one stash of cash gets stolen, you have other stashes hidden around.
If you want me to do more of these kinds of posts, let me know what you think!
Happy Summer!
