TRAVEL LIGHT, TRAVEL FREE, TRAVEL SMART.

Traveling has become increasingly complex in these times of uncertain international security. It is almost always best to travel light, so that you can avoid unnecessary delays, and get to your destination most efficiently.

Steps

1. 1
   Get a small bag. We are carrying cabin suitcases,

   
   
2. 2
   Determine the climate conditions of your destination. Check the weather report, so that you know what type of clothing to bring with you.
3. 3
   Plan your wardrobe so that everything matches with everything else. This does not have to be monochromatic or boring. Rather, it suggests a minimalist approach to fashion. One skirt and a single pair of trousers can be matched with a t-shirt, a fancy blouse or a tank top to make six different outfits--plenty of clothes for a week journey.
4. 4
   Bring enough clean underwear so that you can get through at least half of your journey's time without doing laundry,
   • For our stay there will be no need for laundry. In case of emergency sink laundry is a good option.
5. 5
   Bring at least two pairs of shoes that you can walk in comfortably. In the event that one pair gets wet, or your feet hurt unexpectedly, you will be incredibly grateful that you have that extra pair of shoes.

6. 6
   Consider your packing space carefully. Put items inside of other items, like those Russian nesting dolls. Roll clothes into small rolls to reduce wrinkling.
7. 7
   Pack your dry toiletries in the same bag, and your liquid and gel toiletries in another same bag. If you are going to be flying, then your liquid and gel toiletries must fit into a ziplog bag, and no one of the bottles can be more than 100ml.
8. 8
   Keep your hand lotion, water, sunglasses, ear plugs, snacks, lipstick, toothbrush, floss, hair brush/comb, a change of underwear, pen, sticky notes, and any special medicines and necessary items you need in the top of your bag or in a separate hand bag, because you never know what may happen when you travel. Do not carry all your valuables in this bag (e.g., camera, computer, jewelry, etc.). If its stolen, you won't lose all your valuables at once.
9. 9
   Keep your ID, money, credit cards, in a security pouch. Keep some small currency in your pocket for little purchases (rather than pulling out everything each time). Carry photocopies of your ID, visas, and credit cards with you but in a separate compartment from the real ones (the idea being that if you lose one, you still have the other).
10. 10
    Wear your heaviest clothing such as jeans, heavy shoes/boots, coat or jersey to save on space. Consider replacing your jeans with light-weight travel pants which take less space and dry quickly.
