Trouble with Packing?

Assalamualaikum and hello fellow travellers! 

(I sound like this little girl in Up movie!)

So cute!

Okay so by the way.

Having trouble on packing your stuff? 

Do not fret! We're here :D After you follow our rules and tips here, we can assure you that we can change you from this situation...

to ....

THIS!

Fun tips #1 : The Beginning of Everything

Never forget to list down the things to pack! I know its a pain in the ass. We, teenagers, somehow have lazy traits in our DNAs that make it hard for us to do things according to plan. But trust me, this list can help A LOT. By this super list, all the important things like your underwear will not be left out at home. Oh and ALWAYS remember to put these on the top of your list :

1. Passport

2. Boarding Pass

3. Exchanged Money

Needless to say, without all of these, you'll be stranded at the airport with false hope of getting on the airplane and have the time of your life. Therefore, NEVER FORGET!

Fun Tips #2 : What to Pack?

The key of successful packing is pack only what you need. I understand you fashionistas want to look fabulous in new-freshly-bought clothes from the store. I see no harm for that. But girls, do leave your high heels at home. Wearing those while you go sightseeing, will not give you nothing but pain. Remember this throughout your packing period, comfort first, fashion later. Its no crime wearing comfortable shoes right? I only emphasized this on girls because boys don't really care about what is in their suitcase. As long as you have something to wear, right boys? 

To ensure that you have the right amount of clothes to wear, take the time of your vacation to an account. If you stay there for three days, maybe a pair of jeans is enough. Focus on your day wear than your sleeping wear. Oh and if you're going to the winter climate places, never forget your thick jackets! Unless you want to freeze to death, then be my guest :) Extra clothings will give you burden later time when you're packing to get home with all the souvenirs. 

And that leads me to the next point. Always pack light. Who knows you'll be doing a lot of shopping while you're on your vacation? If you did, you'll be lighten up because you have extra spaces to bring them home without worrying of paying extra charges. 

Fun Tips #3 : Choosing The Right Bag

Sure some of you been wondering ; What type of bag should you use? How big? Well it all depends on the airline you'll be going on. In Malaysia, we always go on either the Malaysia Airlines or the Air Asia. Why do you have to consider the airline? Some airlines are really particular of the weight of the bag. Which is why I want to point out this, buy a light luggage bag. Its logic! Who wants the weight of the bag taken over entirely by the weight of the luggage itself? 

Therefore, this kind of bag is more lighter and durable

than this one

Fun Tips #4 : They Don't Fit!

Everyone have trouble with this! No matter how much clothes you've sacrificed, the bag still wouldn't zip up! Do you know the magic solution?

THIS!

The Famous Folding Method for Travellers!

It saves space and allow you to pack extra items! Really useful right?

The second way to make up some space for your suitcase is by taking out the thick jackets and carry them instead. You'll be using it when you're arrived at the airport anyway. That is why this way is not only space saver but also an efficient way to handle chaos at the airport during the arrival.

Here's a video of how the awesome guy packed his stuff in a bag :)

Fun Tips #5 : Extras

Travel size rice cooker

1. Do remember small items like the toiletries. The hotel may give you a set of those. But who knows you need them along the way?
2. Liquid items must be packed in the luggage not the hand carry. Bottled liquid over 100 ml is a big no-no when you're boarding on a plane
3. Bring along a travel size rice cooker. This can save you loads of money on food. From this handy item alone, you can cook rice, heat your canned food and even boil your favourite travel food : Maggi
4. Don't forget to bring all your device's charger. Especially your camera. For me, pictures are the best way to keep memories. Therefore, camera is a must for a vacation!

This is the end of the fun tips on packing! I do hope all of this helps! Happy packing and have a nice trip!

Love,
