HI, LOVES! It's Travel Thursday again, yay! Just earlier today we were talking with our friends about doing a trip with all together. Imagine that? It'd be super fun. And, of course like every trip it would involve packing. So, we thought we should write this post about packing.
First of all, do NOT overpack. Us, women, tend to do it waaaaay more than men (don't know why, though, lol). It’s really hard to do it, being honest, but you definitely don’t want to carry stuff you won’t even use! So, we’re going to give you some tips to prevent this.
1. Check the local weather
You really want to know how’s the local weather like when you travel. Check it up before you start packing so you can pick out clothes according to it. You don't wanna have to wear summer clothes if the place you're going is cold or vice versa.
2. Pack a jacket or sweater
Even when it’s sunny during the day, it gets chilly at night, trust us. And if you’re going somewhere cold, then you’ll obviously need it! It is an essential.
3. Shoes: One pair is okay, two is perfect, three is troublesome
Let’s be honest, you’ll only wear two pairs of shoes while travelling. A good pair of casual shoes is needed, if they can be worn for a formal thing is even better, and you'll need sneakers too. Make sure you wear them before your trip, so you’re sure they don’t cause any blisters or anything that would make you feel miserable while walking.
4. Fancy, anyone?
Chances are that you will have to go to dinner or attend a show or a party or something a bit more formal and dressy! Be sure you pack a dress, a blazer or a button down, they’ll definitely make you look good and it would seem like you were always ready for the occasion.
5. Towels and toiletry stuff
Pack the lightest towel you have. Why? For starters, they won’t occupy too much space and if when it gets wet, it will dry quickly. It's doble winning.
Essentials: Toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, hair brush. Nothing more.
6. Bring your camera
Memories demand to be captured. That is it.
7. Beauty
If you want to take your make up, perfume and hair products, be sure to put them in a separate bag. This way, they won’t break or spill all over your clothes. Remember to only pack the essentials, too.
8. Pricey suitcases
Don’t. Just, don’t. There’s no point. Seriously, people at the airports don’t treat them well at all hahaha. They get dirty or broken, and you’ll only get angry because they'll return your suitcases like old stuffed bags you an only find in your basement.
9. Tech
Chargers, headphones/earbuds and, most important, adapters! You don't want to have your chargers and not being able to actually use them. It's the worst thing ever, really. It happened to me, Oddie, when I went on a Spanish cruise. Not fun at all. Same happened to me, Gee, while I was in London. We were total losers. But, there are universal adapters, so you can change them according to the place you’re at. You're welcome.
10. Roll, don't fold.
You can really save space in your suitcases if you roll up your clothes instead of folding them. It's a great way to keep clothes in place. Plus, this way your clothes won't get all that ugly wrinkles we all hate. More time with Mr. Vacations, less time with the iron.
This is it for the latest Travel Thursday post. Hope we could help some of you with our tips on packing for vacations or any kind of trip. Don't forget to follow us on our social stuff, 'cause we would love to hear about y'all.
Have a lovely day!
Deuces.
