1. The ziploc packing method
Depending on your next vacation destination, it's always best to have preventative measures for the worst-case scenario, like having something spill over your luggage. Although this is concerning, ziploc bags are lifesavers when it comes to messy situations. Neatly roll your clothes and arrange them side by side in the ziploc bag to prevent dirtying your clothes or other essentials. Utilising the ziploc method will have you fearlessly enjoying your vacation regardless of a sandy beach day. You can never go wrong with the ziploc method, as you also save space within your luggage.
2. Wear your baggy clothes when travelling
Wearing your baggier or looser fitting clothes on route to your destination can be beneficial to saving space in your luggage while keeping your essentials close by. However, an added challenge might present itself if you are travelling to a location with a hotter climate.
3. Use cling-wrap for liquid based products when travelling
The ziploc packing method is perfect for external spills, but how about internal spills from liquid-based products in your luggage, like shampoo or lotion? This is where cling wrap comes in handy to keep you from smelling like the soap aisle. First, remove the cap from your liquid-based product, then seal the opening with cling wrap. Lastly, screw the cap back on, and there you have it—you have now liquid-proofed your luggage from both internal and external spills.
4. Pack non-wrinkle clothes
Packing non-wrinkled clothes means less time spent on ironing and more vacation time. Non-wrinkled clothes are also a preventative measure if the place you are staying does not have an iron.
5. Pack necessities in the easy-to-access compartments
Packing your essentials in easily accessible compartments can enhance your safety. For instance, if you are travelling alone or in an unfamiliar place, having your identification documents, medication, and other crucial items in a readily accessible location can help you in case of an emergency. The smaller, more easily accessible zippers at the side of your luggage or backpack are meant for such compartmentalisation, if you have allergies, try keeping your EpiPen close by or in view, if possible. This way, people might be able to help you with the administration of the EpiPen if need be. However, you can also pack items in easy-to-access compartments, such as earplugs, an eye mask, a neck pillow, et cetera, to enhance your comfort.
