How to properly pack and prepare for your next trip


Whether it’s your first trip or not you need to know the essentials while packing so you don’t forget something you need, or pack in excess things you’ll have absolutely no use of bringing. Most people tend to leave the packing for 1 or 2 days before the trip and then get all chaotic and just throw things in the bag, but having a structured plan will help you organize your things much better. 

1. Choose your main luggage - wherever you’re planning to go you should always think first about what your main luggage is going to be. You need something reliable, something that isn’t too heavy, but big enough to fit all your essentials. And make sure that it’s a quality piece of luggage, the worst thing would be to have a broken handle or zipper. 

2. Organize your stuff - if you are planning to do lots of different types of activities you’ll need a significant amount of gear to prepare. One way you could do that is with compression sacks, not only will your suitcase be organized, but you’ll know exactly where everything is and your clothes would be compressed so you’ll be able to fit more in. 

3. Don’t forget your toiletry bag - so many times people have forgotten to pack their toiletry bag with the most important things or they just don’t care for it as much as they do for the main luggage. But your toiletry bag is of utmost importance. When you’re packing it remember to keep it light and with the essentials - toothbrush, toothpaste, gels, aerosols, creams, comb, perfume, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner and sunscreen and some extras if you choose. And some additional health items such as hand sanitizer or wet wipes. 

4. Collect all your important travel documents, cash, and credit cards - when you’re going somewhere these items are crucial to have. So start by collecting all the important documents in a travel organizer, this way you’ll make sure that you have everything you need to get to the place you want to without any troubles involving your personal ID, passport, transportation thickets, etc. 

5. And last, but not least - prepare your home - whether you’re going on an extended trip or not it is essential you get your home in order before you go. That includes to get someone to take care of your pets (if you have any), lawn and plants, to unplug the appliances, lock all the doors and windows and put your valuables in a safe place. 

Wherever you are going, you’re going to have a great time! But make sure you think through your list of activities so that you don’t forget anything you need and pick the right luggage. Best of luck and travel well!

Music is an art, it produces beauty of forms, harmony and expression of emotion, it is a world within itself, and with a language we all understand.
