We always start by making a list of everything you need to bring, including clothing, toiletries, electronics, and any other essentials.

1. Roll your clothes: Rolling your clothes instead of folding them can help save space in your suitcase.

2. Use packing cubes: Packing cubes can help keep your clothes organized and make it easier to find what you need.

3. Pack versatile clothing: Choose clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create different outfits.

4. Pack a travel-sized laundry detergent: This can come in handy if you need to wash your clothes while on the go.

5. Pack a reusable water bottle: This can help you stay hydrated and save money on bottled water.

6. Bring a small first aid kit: Include essentials like band-aids, pain relievers, and antiseptic.

7. Pack a small bag for day trips: A small backpack or tote bag can come in handy for day trips or excursions.

8. Leave some room in your suitcase: Leave some extra space in your suitcase for souvenirs or items you may acquire on your trip.

9. Put heavier items at the bottom: This can help prevent your suitcase from tipping over.

10. Pack your shoes separately: Pack your shoes in a separate bag or compartment to avoid getting dirt or scuffs on your clothes.
