Whether you’re embarking on an exotic vacation, business trip, or short weekend getaway, it’s important to pack well. The Omnifique Crew has got you covered with our essential packing tips for your next getaway.
Find the Perfect Suitcase
Spend a little extra and invest in a quality suitcase. Depending on your travel needs, evaluate whether a hard or soft suitcase will be right for you. Hard suitcases are better for protecting the contents inside, however there’s not much flexibility when stuffing it into smaller places. If you need your suitcase to be more forgiving after raiding the gift shop, a soft suitcase is your best bet. However, keep in mind that they offer less protection for the contents inside and unless made of a water-resistant material, they are not waterproof.
Roll Your Clothes
To maximize the space in your suitcase, roll your clothing (Yes, even your jeans!). Also, rolled clothing is less prone to wrinkles.
Plan Smart
Instead of packing a specific outfit for every hour of every day, bring wardrobe staples to mix and match. Neutral-colored t-shirts, button-ups, and jeans are a good place to start. To add some flare, bring along a couple of scarves and jewelry.
Travel Light
Although it may be tempting to pack everything including the kitchen sink, resist the temptation. Evaluate what you will absolutely need on the trip. If you’re going on a tropical getaway, you likely won’t need that parka. Anything you’re questioning about bringing – don’t.
Make a List of the Essentials
Despite calling them ‘essentials,’ sometimes they’re easy to forget when packing. Don’t forget to bring
medications, prescription sunglasses, vitamins,
and anything else that would be difficult or near
impossible to replace while traveling.
Pack the Gadgets
Unless you’re planning to completely unplug on your next adventure, remember to pack the small gadgets such as headphones, chargers, extra memory cards, power adapters, and portable chargers.
Bring a Water Bottle
Hydration is key! Pack a stainless steel water bottle
to keep your water cool for hours on end. The most important of our essential packing tips for your next getaway.
Have Reading Material On Hand
Whether it’s highbrow literature, a rom com novel, or your favorite magazine, have reading material for those moments when you don’t have wifi.
