Put your right arm on the heart and be honest with yourselves – you can’t remember a trip which didn’t bring the taught “How badly I want my luggage to be liter!”. The first (most important) priority of the experience traveler is to pack the most necessary stuff and leave all other things at home.1. DO YOUR HOMEWORKCall your hotel administration or check out the website (if any) if they have available iron, hairdryer and other heavy or space-consuming necessities witch you’ll be better off leaving at home. Check out what the weather is going to be where you’re going. Take only the things you really need, forget about “in case”. If you think that a specific cloth MAY be in use of you- just leave it. Take it with you only if you are a 100% sure that you can’t go on without it.

2. PICK UP THE MAIN COLOR

Pick up a color around witch you are going to center all the different colors of your clothing – especially good choice would be neutral colors – gray, brawn and white. Black is also a good choice but when wearing it stay away from the summer. Pick up all accessories in the accordance with the main color of your clothing.

3. PUT TOGETHER A “TO DO” LIST

Make up a list with all the things that you intend to take with you. This is a way for you to see that you are going to pack six pairs of pants for a four day trip, for example. A good thing to do is to cut down half your list or even more.

4. PLAY WITH THE DIGITS

The rule you are going to use follows – a shirt or T-shirt a day and underwear for everyday (excluding the fact that you may stay somewhere away from home for than a week), a jacket or sweater, two pairs of shoes and pair of pants or flip-flops.

5. SEARCH THE LITEPack litter clothing possible ones that don’t need any ironing. Your priority should be comfort, not the model tendencies. It is extremely important your pants and jackets to have big pockets, to be ones that don’t need ironing and to have color that could guise light spots. Shoes can take great amount of space that you can use to put your socks in. Choose a suitcase, a sack or backpack with a number of pockets attached to it. This is a way for you to arrange and pack not only your clothing but also your camera, tourist guide, etc. If your luggage is smaller and compact it can be checked in as carry on and it will be save you a lot of time waiting at baggage claims and you won’t fear that your luggage might be lost.6. DO YOUR LAUNDRY

If you travel for longer period of time there is no way for you to take a pair of pants, pair of socks or underwear, for each one of the days away from home or if you are going to a country where the standard are lower or your budget is not on a break, explore the services offered by your hotel-laundromat, ironing (ironing tables), dry cleaning.

7. NECESSITIES

Take all the cosmetics you need- tooth paste, deodorant, gel, shampoo hair, etc – in the smallest available for you amounts, the so called “travel-size”. If you can’t find them in the mall, by yourself mini-bottles (you can find them while shopping in the travell’s section) and pour the amounts needed in them.

8. LAST CHECK

Make a big pile of the things you plan to pack and put it on your bed, for example, before you actually pack them. If you directly pack all your stuff you’ll be tempted to add more. Believe me, you’ll do it. That is way after you do your final check, pack only the things that you see on the bed in front of you.

9. LEAVE SOME SPACE

Make sure that you leave some space in your suitcase, backpack or sack you’ll need it when you get to your destination and decide to get souvenirs. For most of the people (especially for the ladies) souvenirs is a synonym of clothing.

10. WELCOME BACK

After you come back from your trip check your luggage once again, take a look at each cloth and accessory and ask yourselves the question if you actually needed them. This will definitely help you the next time you pack.
