4 Hacks To Use When You Are Packing For Your Next Vacation
Do you know that rolling and not folding clothes maximises space inside the travel bag?

There are a lot of people who are good at travel packing, I am not one of them. In fact, if I am being completely honest, I will say I hate it. And I also know that there are a lot of people who would say "Same!" to that. As excited as we are about travelling and seeing new places, we dread packing and unpacking. And only when our mothers scream as us constantly is when we are forced to do the needful.

But that doesn't really have to be the case. There are simple packing hacks that we can all use while packing to make it less stressful and dreadful experience.

Roll your clothes

Instead of folding your clothes up, start rolling them and stack them inside the case vertically or horizontally. Rolling takes up less space than folding does. Pack them in such a way that the clothes don't unravel.

Clown car style packing

Lay out all your shirts on top of each other, with the arms hanging outside the suitcase. Proceed to place on top of that stack all your jeans and trousers with the lower half hanging out of the suitcase. Now fold the parts hanging out in one by one on top of each other.

Compartmentalise your suitcase

Have you heard of packing cubes? They are these small boxes where you can pack things in compartments inside your suitcase. You can arrange stuff according to their style, size, or type. Not only do they make things easy to find but also keep them organised. You can also use throwaway boxes that your deliveries come in, only be sure they aren't adding to the weight.
