Packing Tips
With the anticipation of the upcoming trip comes the dread of packing. What to carry and what not to carry, is the biggest question that every traveller asks himself. So to help you with this we have a few quick tips to assist you with this dilemma.
1. Check your Itinerary
Always check your itinerary. See what you’re planning to do and accordingly pack the clothes and footwear. If you’re going to partying the whole time and you’re carrying tracks and sports shoes, then your pictures won’t look as nice. So check what you’re going to do during the trip.
2. Make a Checklist
Hell Yeah! Make a list of what you need during the trip and stick to it. Most checklists look the same. If you need to refer to a checklist, then you can see the Kosha’s Travellers Checklist.
3. Wear bulky pieces on the plane
Bulky or heavy jackets and shoes could be worn on the plane. It helps in saving a lot of space. Once you’re in the aircraft, you can dump the jacket in the overhead luggage space. This helps you to save a lot of space in your bag.
4. Smart layers
Light layers are akin your friend, pack light weight layers think thermals and another quick packable items are Kosha lightweight sweaters which can provide warmth. The Kosha lightweight sweaters can be stuffed into a bag easily. Also, pack plenty of accessories like scarves, gloves and Kosha socks, which add warmth without a lot of bulk.
5. Roll, Roll, Roll your clothes
One of the best space-saving techniques is rolling your clothes instead of folding them. If you want to save even more space then lay smaller items on top of larger ones, then roll both things together.
6. Make use of every inch of space
Don’t let even one bit of space in your bag go unutilized. For instance: You can even use the inside of your shoes to store smaller items.
7. Pack mix-and-match outfits
Plan and pair your clothes when you’re packing. This ensures that you don’t pack extra clothes.
8. Unpack a few of those pants
Pack a maximum of 2 jeans. Jeans last you for 2- 3 days and the best part, you don’t have to keep washing it. If you need to save space, pull a pair or two of bottoms from your bag.
