How to Pack: Never Be Caught Out Again

We’re an advocate of traveling with carry-on only luggage. When this approach is possible, it saves you time, effort and stress. It does however, pose a number of challenges. In this post you’ll find a whole host of tips to ensure your packing is as smart as possible, to make your travel experience as good as is possible.

Keep it clean
You really don’t want to travel with one critical item of clothing only to find it’s dirty at your destination. So take two of those free shower caps you find in most hotels and put them on your shoes, before putting them into your luggage. That way, your clothes will stay clean no matter how dusty your shoes get.  Similarly, you don’t want shampoo on your clothes after you bag’s been squished in the overhead locker, so get hold of some good quality "ziploc" bags that are both TSA friendly and will prevent you from an embarrassing spillage.
You don’t just want to look clean, you also need to be presentable and you clothes should smell good. One simple way to achieve both is to place a dryer sheet between your clothes – it’ll prevent creasing and keep you clothes smelling good.

Dirty kept apart
A lightweight laundry sack is a great way of keeping you dirty clothing separate from your clean laundry.  What’s more, at the end of the trip it’ll be a piece of cake to know what needs washing and what’s clean.
To save space, zip lock bags can be compressed open; until all the air is out and then closed to keep them compressed. Clothes themselves are best mixed and matched. This means picking a base color or theme and then taking numerous items and clothes that goes with it. A suit that is easily dressed down with a pair of slacks is a good example.
The other area you can save space and avoid a disaster is with charging equipment. A single power adapter for one device with several USB cables is much simpler than taking every single adapter with you and, if you travel internationally. It’ll also be much simpler to get the right adapter in your destination country correct rather than frying all your devices.
