Are you sick of digging through your luggage? Trying to find what you need, only to pull out crumpled clothes and then not be able to fit it all back in? How would you like a perfectly organised suitcase with everything packed neatly and easy to find? These simple packing hacks will help you stay organised while you travel, plus fit more luggage in less space.
I'm sharing some of the essential packing tips and hacks for 2019. I'll talk about some of the items we used all the time and a couple that we wish we had packed.
CLOTHING
For clothes, what's most important is checking the climate of your destination to make sure you pack the right clothing that'll keep you comfortable in whatever weather you might be experiencing.
CLOTHING STRATEGY
One of the most common packing tips is to wear layers and I definitely agree with that but it's also really easy to pack too many pieces that you don't end up using. So I try to be really strategic with what I bring and this doesn't really work for a winter type of climate, but I usually try to pack for summer spring and fall. So I'll have my warm weather clothes like shorts, t-shirts and things like that but I also pack a few key items that have multiple purposes. For example, I almost always bring one pair of long johns that can be layered under a pair of pants. if it's cold but they can also double as pyjama pants.
WINDBREAKER
I always carry a really light windbreaker also that can be used as a rain jacket but that can also be layered with a sweater to make kind of a warmer coat.

PACK YOUR OWN FOOD
For food, I always try to bring our own snacks on travel days and this is great because it can save us a lot of money airport food is really expensive and also on planes you don't necessarily get food so it's nice to have your own snacks if ever you get hungry.
The problem with bringing food if you're taking the flight is that it's not always clear exactly what you can and can't bring through security (More information). You definitely can't bring any liquids or gels so, for example, yoghurt might not make it through security or a container of hummus you might have to throw that out, but usually dry processed foods get through security. so what I'll do often is I'll make some sandwiches. I'll bring some roasted trail mix maybe we'll have stir-fried veggies and rice or fruit salad and those pretty much always make it through security.
It's important to understand here that it really depends on the security agent that you get. They can pretty much ask you to throw out anything they feel like but generally, for us, those items that I mentioned haven't been a problem. I always carry a few reusable items to create less waste and save money also. I'll have a couple of food containers some reusable water bottles a travel coffee mug and some foldable sporks.
One thing that I noticed really quickly is that I could have had better luggage set up.
CARRYING DIFFERENT LUGGAGE - A PROBLEM

PLANNING A SINGLE LARGE BACKPACK

CARRY GPS

LOCATION FINDER


So often if you see a cluster of a few vegan restaurants and some veggie restaurants and a health food store usually that might be an indication that there's a really cool neighbourhood that you should visit.
