7 easy hacks to travel light to International destinations without compromising

The only times we genuinely respect labour in India is when we are abroad. The kind of support and friendly staff we get while travelling, checking to hotels, picking luggage and other help in India is a rare sight outside India. If you are travelling to a place like Greece and other areas of Europe which has a lot of stairs, no help, you regret pulling and pushing your heavy suitcases.

Traveling light can enhance your experience on long trips especially abroad, reducing stress and enabling more flexibility. Here are 8 effective tips and hacks to help you pack efficiently, travel comfortably basically make your life and walking easier. 

1. Plan timely

Research your destination and the weather conditions to pack appropriate clothing and essentials. Make a packing list to prioritize items you truly need.

2. Choose the Right Luggage

Opt for lightweight, durable luggage with wheels and a comfortable handle. Consider using a backpack or a versatile carry-on bag that meets airline size regulations.

3. Packing Techniques

Roll your clothes instead of folding to save space and minimize wrinkles. Use packing cubes or compression bags to organize and compact your belongings efficiently. 

4. Mix and Match Outfits

Pack versatile clothing items that can be mixed and matched for different outfits. Choose neutral colors and layering pieces to create multiple looks with fewer items. 

5. Essentials Only

Pack only essential toiletries and consider travel-sized containers to save space. Many accommodations provide basic toiletries or have stores nearby where you can purchase necessities.

6. Wear Your Bulkiest Items

Wear your heaviest or bulkiest items, such as jackets, boots, or sweaters, while traveling to save space in your luggage.
