Two weeks, one carry-on? Yes, you can!

1. Choose the Right Bag

  • Lightweight, expandable, and fits airline restrictions.

2. Create a Capsule Wardrobe

  • 3 bottoms + 5 tops + 2 dresses (or equivalents) = endless outfits.

3. Master the Art of Rolling Clothes

  • Saves space and reduces wrinkles.

4. Use Packing Cubes

  • Separate by type: tops, bottoms, undergarments, accessories.

5. Limit Toiletries

  • Stick to TSA sizes and multitasking products (like shampoo/conditioner bars).

6. Layer Smart

  • Wear your bulkiest shoes and jacket on the plane.

7. Leave Room for Souvenirs

  • Donโ€™t pack your bag to the brim โ€” you’ll want space to bring back treasures!

๐Ÿ›ซ Travel light, move fast, and never wait at baggage claim again.
