How To Pack Light...
If you are worried about your clothing becoming creased, invest in a travel iron. They can
be extremely handy if your hotel doesn’t
provide one.
Rolling your clothes will save space and also prevent your clothes from looking creased.
Roll Your Clothes
Lay your shoes along the walls of the suitcase to help create space for other items.
A Shoe-Lining
Stuff every pocket possible in your suitcase. Preferable items for the pockets are toiletries, underwear, socks and swimsuits.

replace your books & magazines. E-readers are capable of holding 100s of books/magazines.

of carry-on bagsGet over yourshoe obsession
These storage bags can significantly reduce the amount of space you use per item. Ideal for getting the most out of your suitcase.
Research the airlines restrictions on carry on bags, and grab a bag that hits their limit.
Your shoes that don’t go with you on holiday will forgive you. Take only what you need.
There are no rules against wearing lots of clothes on the plane. Take advantage!
Matching your clothes so every item works with everything else will help you minimise the amount you take.

8 Know your destination’s
climate
Letting someone else pack is a big no-no. Pack yourself, and this way you can be the judge of what you really need. Forgetting essential
items or taking too much because you decided to pack late is never recommended. Write a check-list days in advance.
The climate of your destination will factor in heavily on your decision whether to bring a big jacket or not. Do your homework.
