- Roll your clothes
- By rolling your clothing you can save a lot of space in your suitcase! It also makes it easier for everything to fit in small crevasses.
- Put underwear, socks, and bras inside your shoes.
- This is one of the most important travel hacks if you are an overpacker like me! By putting these things in your shoes you are saving space that would otherwise be left empty.
- Budget your money
- Make sure to plan out your budget beforehand. Traveling is fun but expensive. When you set a certain amount of money it will be easier to spend less!
- Keep everything important in your personal item
- I cannot express this enough to always keep your important items on your person at all times. I have heard so many horror stories of people losing their checked bags with all of their money and information in it. It is such an easy fix that can make a big difference in the long run.
- Hope for the best but expect the worst
- Traveling is beautiful but there can be let downs. There is always that chance that there could be bad weather or a restaurant could be closed. No matter what happens remember to stay positive and the trip isn’t ruined by one inconvenience!
- Keep a travel journal
- By keeping a travel journal you can more easily remember your vacation. As well as capturing in words how you felt while you were experiencing it!
- Take lots of pictures but remember to stay in the moment
- Taking pictures on a trip is always fun and definitely recommended but make sure you know when to put the phone down. Remembering the trip is great but experiencing it is way more important!
