2. Plan Before You Pack

Make a simple checklist based on your trip length and activities. If you are going for five days, you do not need seven jumpers. Pack smart and travel light.

3. Use Packing Cubes Or Vacuum Bags

Packing cubes help save space and keep everything organised. Roll clothes instead of folding to reduce creases and make items easier to find.

A woollen hat, scarf, gloves, and warm socks take little space but add serious warmth. These essentials make a big difference in cold, windy weather.

Save suitcase space by wearing your bulkiest shoes during the journey. Choose waterproof boots to keep your feet warm and dry throughout your trip.
