Be Clever, Pack Clever
Clever packing is actually easy once you know the tricks. Over time we’ve realised it’s best to roll clothes to maximize space and make it easy to see what’s in a suitcase. To limit any unavoidable crinkles take some ‘crinkle releaser’ along on your next trip.

Plan Your Clothes
Another way to pack smart is to limit your shoes and plan your outfits in advance. This allows you to see the many ways you can mix and match outfit accessories, if you can’t wear something more than one way, you may want to leave it behind. This way you can easily choose items from your closet that enhance more than one outfit.

Organize Your Tech
Put all your tech and electronics together with cords, chargers and adapters in little pouches. This way you won’t need to rummage through bags to find an adapter or charger. Before you fly, always charge your cell phone, laptop, portable charger, noise cancelling headphones, and any other electronics you are taking along.
‘…charge electronics…’
Use Laundry Bags
Never travel without a laundry bag in your suitcase. You don’t want dirty clothes mixed with your clean clothes so be sure to pack laundry bags to keep them apart.

Download Appropriate Apps
You don’t want to be sifting through your inboxes searching for confirmation emails during your travels. Download apps that will help you stay organized; your travel airlines and means of transport and be sure to allow notifications so you’re aware of any flight cancellations or changes to tickets.
‘…stay organized…’
Download Google Offline Maps
Download the city or destinations you’ll be visiting as Offline Maps so you can search for and look up addresses even if you don’t have internet access.
‘…look up without internet…’
Have the Right Luggage
Broken zippers, bust wheels or any luggage that doesn’t function properly is a certain no-no! Invest in lightweight well-designed luggage, preferably the ones with built in locks to make life easier. Label your suitcases with luggage tags that come in colours and can be personalized so you can easily spot your bags coming off the carousels.
‘…built in locks…’
Rest Easy in Transit
If you want to rest in transit without distractions and arrive at your destination relaxed, make use of your eye mask and noise cancelling headphones. Keep your portable charger in your carryon bag to avoid stressing about your phone battery if you’re delayed at any time.
‘…arrive relaxed…’
