Keepin’ it compact.
If you’re like me, packing is your least favorite part of travel. (Ok, unpacking is actually just a bit worse but you can put that off for longer). Luckily, a few years ago a friend gave me a gift that makes packing so much easier: packing cubes!
Have you ever used these? The cubes help to keep my clothing organized in my backpack as well as keeping everything compact. I use one small cube for socks and undergarments and one large cube for everything else. If it doesn’t fit in the cube, it’s not coming (with the exception of a jacket). This way I won’t over pack for a trip (at least not with clothing).
The cubes also help me stay organized once I’ve reached my destination. I don’t have to dig through my items. I just take out the cube I need at the time and slip it in my bag when I’m finished.
If you’ve never used packing cubes, I highly suggest you check them out!
Now tell me some of your travel essentials!
