]]>The pillow hack became a viral sensation on TikTok and suggests you should stuff your clothes inside a travel pillow. Since even low-cost airlines allow you to bring a travel pillow on board, this hack is good to go, but it’s best to put extra items inside a neck pillow so you wouldn’t look too suspicious.

One of the most popular packing hacks on the market suggests you should roll your clothes instead of folding them. This trick truly works and can save you a lot of space, but you should also consider using packing cubes to compress your clothes and keep them more organized.

Planning your outfits in advance may seem like too much work, but it’s the best way to save room in your suitcase. Instead of packing a bunch of unnecessary items, try to pick a color scheme for your trip and only bring items that you can easily mix and match with the other ones.

]]>If you’re going to travel by car or train, then chances are that you won’t have to worry about weight restrictions. This will allow you to pack a little extra just in case. When flying, however, you’ll need to be more conscious of weight limits.
If you are flying, then knowing your airline’s weight restrictions is key to determining how to pack. After all, you don’t want to incur any unnecessary penalties or fees. Still, keep a lookout to see if your airline allows you to take two pieces of baggage on board, as this may allow you to distribute the weight so that you can have two lighter pieces of luggage rather than one heavy one.
Think about your itinerary carefully before packing. After all, a beach vacation will require far different attire from a skiing trip or even an active vacation filled with mountain climbing and other sporty activities. Also, think about if you’ll need smart attire for going out at night.

]]>Instead of haphazardly throwing clothes in your bag, pack outfits and solid colors. Pack a few different bottoms and tops all solid colors so they can easily be interchanged. If you buy something new on your trip, leave something behind that isn’t so valuable to you to avoid accumulating things.
Pick a pair of shoes that match every outfit, are durable, and can sustain over a month of travel. If you’re going on a trip with a lot of hikes, perhaps opt for a pair of hiking boots. You can most likely fill in as well once you get there.
Pack travel-size items such as moisturizer, and opt to buy universal things such as toothpaste and other essentials in smaller packages when you arrive at your destination.
Pack fewer undergarments and prepare to do more laundry as you go. Several hostels and Airbnb offer laundry services, and if you’re desperate there will always be places to buy fill-ins.

]]>Lip care is critical, especially while flying, as keeping your skin hydrated on the go can be challenging. Lucky for you, Vaseline makes a skin care applicator that is small enough to throw in your purse or carry on bag, so that it is always there when you need it. It’s inexpensive and maximizes skin hydration.
Another solution for dehydrated skin is sheet masks, and you can find them in any store that carries skin care products. Look for one that says “hydrating” on the package; and your skin will thank you.
This is a must have in any carry on, and many stores carry travel sizes that are great when you’re constantly on the go! You might want to stock up depending on how long you will be away.
Hydrating oils such as vitamin c, rose oil, orange oil, or tea tree are essential toward hydrating skin, especially when adjusting to different climates! Use this at night, before bed, after putting on some facial moisturizer.
If you’re going somewhere sunny, you must not forget about your lips. Get a lip balm with SPF to not only keep them moisturized but protected against the sun!

]]>For packing clothes, rolling them up instead of folding is one of the best ways to save valuable space. Start with larger items like jeans or sweaters and roll them tightly. Utilize gaps between rolled clothes for smaller items like socks and underwear. This will allow you to fit more items into your suitcase and will also minimize wrinkles.
Packing cubes are lightweight organizers that help keep your clothes compact and neatly separated. You can group similar items in separate cubes, such as shirts, pants, or undergarments, or pack entire outfits together. You’ll keep your suitcase tidy and be able to locate items quickly without rummaging through everything.
Shoes often take up significant space in a suitcase. Make the most of this space by stuffing socks, belts, or small accessories inside your shoes. Fill any gaps or empty spaces in your luggage with rolled-up t-shirts or lightweight items. This prevents items from shifting during transit and maximizes the available space.

]]>A good rule for any holiday, if there’s even a small chance that you’ll be bringing home some Christmas gifts, then this rule is extra important. Unexpected extra luggage can cost you dearly at the airport, so pack light to allow you to bring some trinkets home with you.
If you’re away to celebrate the festive season, the chances are you’ll want to dress up at least one evening and go somewhere special. Bring some (inexpensive) sparkly jewels to set the mood and chime with the festive scenery.
To match your sparkly earrings and jewels, pack some clothing in a luxury, party-ready fabric like silk, velvet or sequins. This will help you feel instantly Christmassy, and dressed to hit the town.

]]>The post Minimalist Packing Tips for Cold Destinations appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>One of the best ways to make the most of limited packing space is to plan your outfits in layers. Donning t-shirts under pieces like sweaters and coats will allow you to get more use out of these bulkier items throughout your trip, reducing the quantity you’ll need to bring to begin with. Wear your largest items on the plane to save even more space in your bags.
Accessories are a perfect example of “a little goes a long way.” Items like hats, gloves, and scarves are incredibly helpful when it comes to staying warm, but unlike sweaters, they don’t take up much room. Look for options that can serve multiple purposes, like a blanket scarf to keep you cozy during your flight. To save even more space, pack them in vacuum bags.
Footwear may be the trickiest part of packing light for cold destinations, but it doesn’t have to be so complicated. The easiest way to approach packing shoes is to choose one pair, such as some comfortable, waterproof snow boots that will suit all of your needs throughout your trip. If you need to bring several pairs of shoes, wear the bulkiest ones on the plane.

]]>This one may be obvious, but it’s “essential” when working with limited space to start with items that you can’t live without. For example, toiletries and medications may need to take priority over electronic gadgets, especially if you can make do with just your phone for the time being. Just be sure to stick with travel-sized products and label medications clearly to avoid having them confiscated while going through security.
When it comes to clothing, your best bet is to stick with versatile pieces in coordinating colors that are easy to mix and match. For example, jeans and a few tops will take you much further than sweats or formal dresses, and they tend to take up less space. Wear bulkier items, such as sweaters, coats, and sneakers on the flight to save room in your bag.
A tried-and-true packing technique, rolling your clothes instead of folding them is a great way to both save space and minimize wrinkles. To really make the most of your space, pack smaller items such as underwear inside gaps or pockets, or use vacuum bags for even more space.

]]>More important than anything is to make sure you’ve got good quality waterproof basics. Invest in a durable, yet lightweight rain jacket that fits into your luggage and is easy to carry around as you explore, and remember to include a compact umbrella that you can take out in the event of unexpected downpours.
Soggy feet are not only incredibly uncomfortable, they can leave you susceptible to injury and infection. To keep your feet warm and dry, pack waterproof boots or shoes to wear whenever the forecast calls for rain. You’ll be more comfortable walking around and will also be less likely to slip and fall on wet surfaces.
If you prefer to take a minimalist approach when it comes to packing, prioritize versatile pieces that are easy to layer. For example, include a few lightweight, moisture-wicking base layers to keep you dry and a sweater or sweatshirt that can provide insulation without adding bulk. To save more space in your suitcase, wear your waterproof jacket on the plane.

]]>The post How to Make a Travel First-Aid Kit appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>It may be tempting to stuff your kit with everything but the kitchen sink, but for travel, you’re better off focusing on essential items to help get you through until you can reach a clinic or pharmacy. Most important to include are various sizes of bandages, sterile gauze, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and tweezers, but you should also be sure to remember any personal medications. Additionally, always carry a copy of your prescriptions with your travel documents.
Different locations come with different types of health risks, so research your destination to understand the potential health concerns it may present. For example, some countries contain insects that carry certain diseases, while others may have pollution or plants that are likely to cause allergies. In addition to basic supplies for treating bumps and bruises, consider packing region-specific items such as insect repellent or antihistamines in your kit.
Medical supplies that are beyond their expiration date will be ineffective at best and potentially even dangerous at worst. Before each trip, go through your kit to double check that you’ve got enough supplies and medications aren’t expired.
