The average person hates packing for a trip.
There really is nothing pleasant about it: the stress of folding,
rolling and squeezing clothes in, the confusion of having to decide what
to pack, the dilemma of trying to manage the space you have got and the
fact that it takes all the time in the world!
No one wants an over-sized luggage, and so Jovago.com, Africa’s largest hotelbooking
portal suggests 4 simple yet highly effective packing hacks that will
help any traveler organize their essentials much easier.
Roll your clothes, do not fold
The
general method for packing clothes is folding. While folding plays a
huge role in ensuring your clothes are organized and crease is limited,
they can also be the reason you do not have enough space for the other
stuff. Rather than fold your clothes, consider rolling instead. Rolling
may require more effort, but it surely saves more space compared to
folding.
Pack items inside your shoes
Shoes
are usually the most difficult to pack, especially if they are made of
leather or sterner materials. The shoes however can offer good space to
pack smaller items as the holes in them can hold little items that won’t
fit in your toiletry bag, like socks.
Place the heavy items on the bottom
Most
people do not care to check the weight of the items they throw in their
bags or boxes. They jumble all sorts of item together, even placing
some of the heaviest on the top, making it hard to squeeze in extra
items or zip the luggage up. Endeavour to pack your heaviest items on
the bottom and work your way up to the lighter items, that way, your bag
will have an easier time compressing into the compartments.
Avoid little pouches and purses
While
packing, the idea of keeping certain items in separate pouches or purse
may seem cute or give off a super organized look, however, they are not
very helpful for managing space. Rather than use little bags like
toiletry and make-up bags, squeeze them into the nook and crannies of
your bag or whatever little space they can fit into.
