Traveling is one of the most enriching experiences we can live. Discovering new places, getting to know different cultures and creating unforgettable memories are just some of the benefits of exploring the world. However, for each trip to be a success, it is essential to plan and organize each detail, and one of the keys to this is to pack efficiently.

In this article, we will share a complete guide with tricks and tips so you can learn how to make the perfect suitcase:

Plan your trip:

Define your destination and the activities you will carry out: Knowing the weather, the duration of the trip and the activities you will carry out will help you choose the appropriate clothes and accessories.
Investigate baggage restrictions: Each airline or means of transport has its own size, weight and hand luggage restrictions. Make sure you know them before you start to pack.
Choose the appropriate suitcase:

Size and weight: Select a suitcase that fits your travel needs and meets the restrictions of the airlines.
Type of suitcase: Consider whether you need a rigid or soft suitcase, with or without wheels, and with special compartments for clothing, shoes or electronic devices.
Make a list of what you need:

Clothes: Choose versatile and easy to combine pieces that adapt to the climate of the destination and the activities you will carry out. Do not forget to include underwear, socks, pajamas and a coat or jacket for cold climates.
Footwear: Bring comfortable and suitable shoes for the type of terrain you are going to step on. If you are going to do outdoor activities, consider wearing trekking boots or sneakers.
Accessories: Do not forget to include the accessories you need, such as sunglasses, hat, scarf, belt, etc.
Personal hygiene items: Bring with you the products you use regularly, such as shampoo, bath gel, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, etc.
Medicines: If you take any medication, make sure to bring with you the sufficient amount for the entire trip.
Important documents: Do not forget to bring your passport, plane ticket, hotel reservations, credit and debit cards, etc.
Others: Depending on the destination and your needs, you may need to bring other items such as current adapters, mosquito repellent, first aid kit, etc.
Splicing techniques:

Roll clothes: Rolling the clothes instead of bending them will help you save space in the suitcase.
Use vacuum bags: Vacuum bags allow you to compress clothes and reduce their volume.
Take advantage of the space in the shoes: Fill the inside of your shoes with socks, rolls of clothes or small items.
Place the heavier items at the bottom of the suitcase: This will help distribute the weight evenly and prevent the suitcase from turning over.
Use travel organizers: Travel organizers will help you keep your belongings tidy and accessible.
Additional tricks:

Bring a change of clothes in your hand luggage: If your suitcase is lost or delayed, you will have a change of clothes.
Use a garment as a bag of dirty clothes: This will allow you to separate the clean clothes from the dirty and save space in the suitcase.
Bring an empty bottle of water: You can fill it out once you have passed the security check.
Download Travel Applications: There are applications that can help you organize your luggage, plan your itinerary and find information about your destination.
Following these tips, you can pack the perfect suitcase for your next trip and enjoy a stress-free experience. Remember that the key is to plan, organize and be efficient. Good trip!
