When it comes to packing for a trip, there are certain items that you should definitely leave behind. Here are 10 things that you should avoid packing:
1. Valuables: Jewellery, watches, laptops and other electronics are best left at home where they will be safe. There's no need to take unnecessary risks by bringing them along with you.
2. Breakable items: If it can break, chances are it will break when you're travelling. Save yourself the hassle and leave fragile items at home.
3. Heavy items: Bulky and heavy items will just add weight and bulk to your luggage, making it more difficult to carry around. Stick to packing light so you can move about easily.
4. Clothing that needs ironing: Unless you're planning on spending your vacation lounging by the pool, there's really no need to pack clothes that require ironing - they'll just end up wrinkled anyways. Instead, opt for wrinkle-free fabrics such as cotton or linen which can be easily thrown in your suitcase without worry.
5.. Too many shoes: Shoes take up a lot of space in your luggage, so only pack the pairs that you know you'll actually wear while on vacation. There's no need to bring your entire shoe collection!
