Steps for perfect packing

A miracle in your bag

Watching several videos on YouTube and following the advices of several experienced travelers, packing your bag/suitcase has always been and always will be one of the biggest problems. But before start packing, first :
  1. Pick a size of a bag, big enough for your clothes but not too big for you
  2. Choose what clothes to put on every day and prepare for the weather from forecasts
  3. Place heavier clothes at the bottom, so you can find them easier
  4. Folding the clothes saves a lot of space, rolling them though might cause sometimes wrinkles on them, so if you roll them, roll them tight
  5. Use any spare space, such as the inside of your shoes in your bag
  6. Organize and distribute evenly your clothes
  7. Fragile items should be placed in the middle of the bag, so they do not break and remain protected by your clothes
  8. Formal clothes should be placed on top so they can easily be removed, hanged and ironed when the bag is opened
  9. Any empty gaps between the clothes should be filed with other items such as underwear, socks, etc.
Not convinced? The video below shows how many tings you can pack in a tiny backpack!


Size

Size available for each bag is measured in liters (L), depending on your needs and length of your trip the size of you bags should be ideal to your opinion. The volume can be from 10 L up to 100 L! I personally prefer a 70 L backpack since I can strap my bag and squeeze is as much as possible.
