READY, SET, GO: TRAVEL HACKS

In this series, we aim to bring you some tips and tricks to make travelling smarter (well, at least a little bit easier..) for you.

We all have those moments when travelling when we see someone doing something and we say to yourself “How have I never thought of this before, this is revolutionary!”. For instance, when it comes to packing hacks, I leave that in the capable hands of AJ. I have seen him fit an entire wardrobe into a small carry-on backpack… so much so, that we got through security with well over the weight limit, but because it was so well-packed and small no one checked (that's a story in itself for another time..).

We all know the #1 rule – pack LIGHT! , and it is true. Lay out what you think you need. Cut it down to half. Divide that into half once more. And then think over it again.

The reality is that you are travelling, this is not a fashion show. You will be around people who have not showered for a few days, and it may sound unsettling if this is your first time, but hey, listen. It’s all part of the experience. And if that still doesn't work for you, listen up again. What we forget is that we won’t be seeing most of the people we meet ever again, so the very thought of being judged for wearing the same things multiple times... does it really matter?
