Want to travel easily? Here are some tips that help you reduce the size of your luggage.
Roll clothes instead of folding them. Many people try to fold their clothes into their little suitcase. 1. It actually makes far more sense to roll your clothes rather than fold them. Starting from the bottom, roll up your clothes into very tightly packed cylinders (圆柱体) which you can stack (堆叠) on top of each other.
Use vacuum bags (真空袋), when possible. 2. Buy some vacuum bags and seal all of your clothes up tightly. Having all of your luggage vacuum sealed will reduce the size of your items greatly. That will allow you to take more of what’s needed.
Always take travel bottles. Even though you are allowed to take full sized bottles in your suitcase, to make sure that you are under the weight allowance, it’s recommended that you still stick to travel-sized bottles. 3. Besides, it will also prevent you from wasting any product. If you do run out of anything while you are on holiday, you can always buy more.
4. If you do need to take a coat, you can wear it on the journey so you don’t have to pack it in your suitcase. Another method you can use is wearing multiple layers (多层衣服) on the journey although this isn’t always the most comfortable.
Research the weather in advance. A great way to prevent packing clothes that you won’t end up wearing is to research what the weather is going to be like where and when you go on holiday. 5. You can know how hot it’s likely going to be, as well as how much rain on average the destination receives each month.
A. It will free up enough room for you.
B. Don’t put any shoes in your suitcase.
C. It will make your suitcase much lighter.
D. Purchase a high and soft-sided suitcase.
E. Wear anything that takes up a lot of room.
F. There are plenty of websites that can predict it.
G. This is not the best way to pack your holiday goods.
