Travelling is exciting, fun, amazing, the best \u2013 just about every good adverb under the sun. There is one nuisance, however, and that is the act of packing your suitcase! I\u2019m someone who feels the need to pack as much as my suitcase could carry, and that doesn\u2019t usually end well at the airport\u2026(excess baggage fees, yikes). But, you would be happy to know that I have learnt my lesson! \ud83d\ude00 If you\u2019re like me, then read on for these travel packing tips that will help to avoid a heavy suitcase!<\/p>\n
If your suitcase is somewhat heavy, (and it\u2019s still empty) don\u2019t make it your travel buddy! If you\u2019re someone who tends to pack quite \u201cheavy\u201d anyway, an already-heavy suitcase will do you no favours and could cost you much more (both at the store and at the airport!) Go buy yourself a relatively lightweight suitcase and follow the rest of these travel packing tips once that\u2019s done!<\/p>\n
Yes, that\u2019s right. I would have originally gone with plastic bags, but pill containers are much more secure and convenient if (like me) you\u2019re someone who simply cannot live without your jewellery! They\u2019re lightweight, hardly occupy any space and will keep your jewellery safe and organised \u2013 plus they\u2019re super cheap and easily accessible. It\u2019s no secret that jewellery boxes are a huge no-no when it comes to lightweight convenience, so this for me has always been one of the most useful travel packing tips to help avoid a heavy suitcase!<\/p>\n
This awesome travel packing tip does double the duty; not only does it save space and help to avoid a heavy suitcase, it also serves to keep your shoes nice and in-shape! C\u2019est tres magnifique!<\/p>\n
Oh my mother has been advising me with this travel packing tip for donkey years. You know when you gaze into your wardrobe and think *hmmm, I could do with this blouse, I love this frilly blouse* before dropping a *oh, those khaki pants, I simply cannot do without them* followed by a *damn, these red heels. Must. Take. Them. With. Me.*\u2026doesn\u2019t sound like a very appealing outfit, does it? Even worse, those outfit pieces will most likely end up hibernating inside your suitcase throughout your entire stay abroad \u2013 because you simply don\u2019t know what on Earth to pair them with! Be a wise little traveller and pack whole outfits that you know you\u2019ll actually wear.<\/p>\n
I know, I know, this is much easier said than done. I know. But it\u2019s doable. \ud83d\ude42 And it will save you a heck of a lot of trouble! Try to tell yourself that you could only choose a certain amount of lipstick shades or nail polish bottles to pack with you, depending on the duration of your holiday. Don\u2019t take everything with you intending to spoil yourself for choice once you get to your holiday destination! Pack them in accordance with your outfits, if you really have to, and make sure you don\u2019t surpass that limit you set for yourself! I find this to be one of the most useful travel packing tips as it will definitely help to avoid a heavy suitcase, leaving you feeling organised and clear-minded!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t take bottles of shampoo, conditioner or shower gel with you! They are heavy and take up an awful amount of space. Unless you\u2019re travelling to the Moon, bath and shower products are readily available and might even be cheaper and better quality than whatever brand you\u2019re currently using! Save yourself the hassle, and try out this travel packing tip to help you avoid a heavy suitcase!<\/p>\n
Folding my clothes so that they\u2019re nice and neat is obvious to me, but apparently it isn\u2019t as obvious to a lot of other people! I often see people on TV just stuffing their clothes into their suitcases, and it genuinely hurts my soul. I cannot bear the sight of it. Not only is it messy and can leave your clothes all wrinkled up, it also does not leave any space for other items! Rolling up your clothes is even better than folding them. To me, it is one of the best travel packing tips because it helps to maximise the space in your suitcase \u2013 plus, packing your rolled-up clothes with air compression bags will actually help to keep them nice and wrinkle-free!<\/p>\n
