Packing Tips

• Roll each clothing item, and put a rubber band around it. That way you can rearrange items easily
• Put small items into transparent zipper bags. You can see what’s inside, and the small items don’t get lost among the other items.
• Put shampoo into a leakproof plastic bag. Air pressure changes can pop a lid open and spill your shampoo.
• Put cosmetics and toiletries into small containers, and only fill them with as much as you need for the trip. You don’t need to fill the container; if you can get through your trip with half a container, you’ll save weight.
• The same for vitamins and medicine: instead of carrying a bunch of bottles, put enough vitamins for the trip into a small ziploc bag. Put it in your purse or backpack so you’ll have it with you when you go out to eat.
• Have folders for each city or country you’ll be visiting, with map, bus cards, currency, SIM cards and such.
• Have a folder with envelopes, notepaper, red packets, and an extra pen.
