FAQ
How do I pack for a week-long trip?
For a week-long trip, pack 5-7 tops, 2-3 bottoms, 7-8 pairs of underwear/socks, and 2-3 shoes. Use the 5-4-3-2-1 rule: 5 tops, 4 bottoms, 3 dresses/shoes, 2 bags, 1 hat. Plan to do laundry mid-trip or wear items twice. Roll clothes to save space.
What should I always pack for any trip?
Essential items for every trip: passport/ID, medications, phone charger, change of clothes in carry-on, toiletries (TSA-compliant sizes), sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, and a reusable water bottle. Always pack a day early and check the weather forecast.
How can I pack light and efficiently?
Pack light by: 1) Choosing a color scheme (black/neutral) so everything matches, 2) Rolling clothes instead of folding, 3) Wearing your bulkiest items on the trave day, 4) Using packing cubes, 5) Limiting shoes to 2-3 pairs, and 6) Bringing travel-size toiletries or buying at destination.
