Now we will puzzle over how to pack your suitcase, going to the near and far places of our planet for a sufficiently long time so that we need all the things we take with us. It often happens that they all gather literally in the last hour before leaving for the station (at the port / airport), cram into a poor suitcase, ram, crumple, break, tear ... And all this action, of course, takes place in a wild rush and hassle. We will not bring the matter to this and think slowly, how to fit in a limited suitcase volume one and a half times more things than usual.
Before you pack your suitcase on vacation, lay out all the things you intend to take with you. Absolutely get an impressive "exhibition". Try to reduce it due to things:
- which in comparison with others are of secondary importance to you;
- appropriate where you go, about the same as sunglasses on a polar night;
- about which you can confidently say that you will use them once or twice;
- which can be bought at the place of arrival;
- wearable (only without fanaticism!).
Adjust the composition of the clothes according to the weather forecast, which can be quickly tracked on the Internet. Otherwise, you will drag to a place where hot weather has settled, a sweater that is not needed by anyone.
It will not be difficult to properly assemble the suitcase if you remember the “rule of linen”: the longer the trip, the more you need to take it. If, of course, you do not want to do laundry on vacation.
All travel shoes will fit in three pairs: sneakers (for hiking), sandals (for free walks) and beach slippers. Well, if you are planning a visit to a restaurant, you can’t do without high-heeled shoes.
Do not confuse a cosmetic bag with a first-aid kit. In the first, only a small amount of your favorite cosmetics should remain, everything else can be purchased on the spot. Form a first-aid kit from what you will not be able to find later. Be sure to bring along remedies for colds and its symptoms, headaches and cramps, heart pains, digestive disorders and burns.
Anything that may leak due to pressure drops or careless loading (toothpaste, cream, spray, shampoo, etc.) must be folded in a separate sealed bag or in two, for warranty.
An important condition in how to properly assemble the suitcase is the safety of documents. Therefore, purchase a transparent, zippered folder in advance. Put in it everything that under no circumstances should be spoiled.
So, everything is ready. But how to pack things in a suitcase, those that you finally selected?
First, let's do a little experiment. Take a T-shirt, dress, jeans, and each piece of clothing tightly roll so that you get a roller. And then expand them. Hocus Pocus! They did not crumple at all! And while taking up much less space! Take this into account.
The space at the bottom near the walls of the suitcase is occupied by shoes. In it, as in a case, you can put watches, glasses, a tie and other trifles. The bottom layer is formed of jeans and trousers. Above them are lighter wardrobe items, above are the lightest (dresses, t-shirts, shirts). Stack the rollers rolled up from them as tightly as possible, and during transportation nothing will budge. Finally, a cosmetic bag, a bag with toiletries, a folder with documents should occupy the very top.
Now close the suitcase. How? Didn’t have to “dance” on the lid to fit zipper, straps and other fasteners? So that!
Now, knowing how to pack your suitcase correctly, you can deal with it not only more efficiently, but also faster. Even time pressure will not become a cause for stress - because you really take with you the most necessary!
