10 Smart Packing Tip


Smart is more important than ever to ensure that each and every trip will be hassle-free, at least regarding to your luggage.

1. Plan Ahead- Know what weather to expect and your activities might be, then pack the right clothes for the climate and your events. Ignore the urges to add" but what if..... items.

2. Pack Less-Pack only 3 pairs of quick drying underwear that can be washed out and dried overnight" one to wear and to wash, and a spare. Expect to wear each outer clothes item more than one. Choose versatile pieces than can be worn in different combination.

3. Pack a go Anywhere wardrobe- Bring clothes that blend in with the local population and provide safety from those who target tourists. For example modest necklines for women, long pants, or skirts, and shirts with a collar and sleeves.

4. Take Comfortable Shoe You will not have a good time of your feet hurt. Three pairs of shoes are the maximum for most trips one to wear and two to pack.

5. Choose the right back for the trip- Structures bags with wheels protect the contents and offer independence in air parts, while structured bags without wheels are generally easier to squish into a small places, like a trunk of a car.

6.Know the current Airline Rules- To avoid additional fees and confusion at the airport. Understand how many pieces of luggage may be check plus the maximum dimensions and allowable weight for each bag. Call your airline for the latest information.
