Packing your suitcase may be one of the most stressful parts of going on a trip. Okay, maybe that was a bit of a dramatic statement, but let’s be honest—it’s not like packing is less stressful than the actual vacation, right? In any case, you may be wondering what exactly you’re supposed to be packing, but here’s one small tip that may go a long way. When you’re packing your bag, make sure to actually leave some room.
Leaving Room For New Things
Everyone knows that traveling isn’t just about seeing cool things—it’s also about buying awesome souvenirs! When you pack your suitcase to the brim, you find yourself avoiding buying anything new because you’re thinking that you have nowhere to put it. Hey, we’ve all been there.
But when you purposely leave room in your duffle bag, you’ll actually encourage yourself to buy something fun and exotic. Trust us when we say that you’ll probably find something you like, and you’ll definitely be tempted to buy it for yourself. So this is just one way to ensure that you feel empowered to pull the trigger and make it happen. The saying that “you only live once” certainly applies here!
