When we pack bags, we never know how to do it. We always want to bring too much and we always struggle to pick our clothes and respect weight limits. However, there are some tips we should be following that could really help us.

Firstly, the easiest way to avoid bringing too many things is to buy a hard-sided suitcase, you will limit yourself and bring less stuff. Bring clothes that you actually need and will wear. Go through your schedule and make sure you have enough outfits, do not exaggerate. If you tend to pack too many things, this may be hard for you to acheive, but it also could be a fun challenge for you to try. You will have the best outcome if you make a schedule of what you are doing and plan your outfits accordingly to that.

Lay out what you think you’ll need on your bed and make choices. You’ll notice that some clothes can be worn twice in two different ways.And avoid the “just in case” clothes, we both know you’re not going to wear those extra pants!

The best way to fit everything into one bag is to fill every single space. It’s like playing Tetris. You can either roll your clothes, use packing cubes and put underwear wherever there is a hole.

Keep a separate toiletry kit for travelling. Small shampoo, conditioner and body soap, a mini toothpaste and a mini hairbrush. You can always refill them when they’ll be done.
