Finally, summer vacation! Packing your suitcase is part of the anticipation of the relaxing time, right? For many travelers, however, the stress starts right here, because a few beloved items of clothing just don't fit in their luggage anymore. So that you can approach vacation preparations in the future with a relaxed attitude, we have put together 6 useful tips for packing your suitcase correctly. This way, every item on your vacation checklist is guaranteed to find the right place!
Trolley, travel bag or backpack?
A city trip over the weekend or a trip for several weeks? Discover Australia on foot or a vacation in a luxury home. Packing your suitcase correctly only works if your luggage is tailored to your summer vacation.
Only take what you really need
A 14-day summer vacation is coming up. But your closet has enough outfits for six months. So what should you take with you and what should stay at home? Try this decision-making aid: Put everything you wanted to pack in your suitcase on your bed so that you can see all the clothes. Put together a few outfits that you can possibly combine with each other. The rest stays at home!
Roll your clothes instead of folding them
Of course, nobody expects you to fold every single pair of boxer shorts. However, if you roll large items of clothing like T-shirts or jeans when packing your suitcase instead of folding them, you will save a lot of space. For blouses and fabric trousers, we recommend the Pack-It packing aids from Eagle Creek. This way, the clothes don't wrinkle as quickly.
Discover the big world of small travel items
Whether it's a travel hairdryer, mini iron, thin microfiber towels or small tubes and containers for liquids and creams. If you have little space or are traveling with hand luggage, the amount of liquids you can take with you is limited. It's easier with the right equipment: many products are available in a practical travel format.
Use storage space correctly
Have you bought travel souvenirs and gifts for friends and family? You can store smaller and easily breakable items safely inside your shoes. This way, they don't take up any extra space.
Nothing is more annoying than leaking shower gel or shampoo in your suitcase. To prevent leakage, simply secure the lid with a piece of sticky tape. You can also pack the bottles in a leak-proof bag.
Always carry important things and your valuables with you
Unfortunately, the suitcase didn't reach its destination! Who hasn't experienced this? Always pack the most important things in your hand luggage: This includes, of course, ID and travel documents, medication, keys, money and smartphone. Ideally, also a toothbrush and a change of clothes.
