Make a list of trip essentials. Roll your clothes. Place medicine and toiletries in a clear, resealable bag. Pack electronics near the top of your suitcase. Keep your ticket, passport, and other documents in a folder or envelope. Leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs.
Before packing your luggage, take a few minutes and write down everything you'll need for the trip. This list should take into account where you're going, how long you'll be there, and how much packing space you have. Some things to write down include: Clothing items like shirts, pants, dresses, skirts, undergarments, socks, shoes, hats, outerwear, belts, glasses, contact lenses, makeup, and jewelry. Prescription and over-the-counter medication. A toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, contact case and solution, razors, and shaving cream. A phone, tablet, computer, digital reader, handheld game system, pair of headphones, and any necessary charging cables or adaptors. Travel documents like tickets, boarding passes, passports, and visas. When packing quickly, it's easy to simply grab clothes and toss them in a suitcase. However, this often leads to less space, wrinkled clothes, and a medley of forgotten essentials. Instead, fold your clothes in half and roll them into tight fabric burritos. When done right, this method is faster than normal folding, gives you more space, and allows you to easily see what items you have and what you still need. Do not roll suits, dresses, and other types of professional wear. Instead, fold these items and place them in packing folders. Fill the bag with items like prescription medicine, over-the-counter drugs, first aid supplies, and general hygiene and grooming products. Keep the bag in your bathroom until you're ready to leave, that way you can continue using the supplies. If you're staying at a hotel, remember that items like hand soap and shampoo are provided at no extra cost. If you're taking a plane, check your airline's website for policies on packing medicine, bottles of liquid, razor blades, and other items. This will give your gadgets extra padding during travel and will make them easy to remove without having to dig through clothes and other items. This is especially important if you're flying, since most airports require you to remove electronics for safety scans. Make sure to charge your electronics the night before leaving. When traveling, the most important things to have are your official documents. Without them, you may be detained or even denied the right to travel. To make sure everything is together and easy to access, place your ticket, boarding pass, passport, travel visa, booking confirmation, and other important documents in a folder or envelope. For safety, keep these on your person at all times. Even if your travel provider takes digital copies, print out your ticket or boarding pass in case something goes wrong. If you plan on purchasing keepsakes for yourself or someone else, leave about 20% of your suitcase empty to accommodate them. This will cut down the amount of items you can pack, saving time and forcing you to focus on essentials. If you're flying, make sure your items adhere to any carry-on, checked luggage, or customs regulations.
