5 Packing Tips to See you Through a Lifetime of Travels

Not everyone loves packing. For some it is too much to think about what to pack and what to leave. This confusion at times makes travelers forget important stuff while packing. On the other hand, there are people who live out of a suitcase and packing comes naturally to them. And even if it doesn't, they get so used to packing and unpacking that a thing here or there hardly bothers them.

For others who are not very good at the art of packing nor they intend to. Here are five packing tips to see them though a lifetime of travels. 

1. Travel Uniform

By this time you must have figured out what suits you best while traveling. If you have, great; every time you travel, don't think too much about what to wear, just go for what you have been wearing thus far. If you haven't yet figured out your travel uniform. Take some time out to do so. It'll save you plenty of time and hassle of deciding what to wear.

2. Wrinkle Free Clothing

What an invention! Roll them, crumple them or ball them and stuff them in your suitcase without worrying. A few sets of wrinkle-free clothes can save you time and effort of neatly folding and then placing clothes of cotton and other fabrics in your suitcase. 

3. Pack but do not Unpack

You probably won't need an inflatable neck pillow, mini toothpaste, adapter or mini laundry bag in daily life. There are things that we need only when we travel, so why unpack them once we are back from a trip. Let them lie in your suitcase and next time when you travel, you do not need to think about packing them again.

4. Buy a Toiletries Case

The best way to pack toiletries is to have a toiletries case. Keep it pre-filled with a set of travel sized tooth paste, soap, tooth brush, shaving cream, brush  etc. So the next time you travel, just lift your toiletries case and put it in your suitcase.  

5. Packing Basket

If you are not a last minute traveler and know about your trip quite in advance, just keep a basket in your bedroom. Every time you come across something that you think needs to be packed, throw it in the basket. Just a day before your travel date, empty the contents of basket in your suitcase.
