5 Tips To Follow For Traveling Light
Carry clothing that is versatile. You might have to carry along a swim suit for your beach holiday and a coat for your skiing one, but apart from such items that you definitely need, pack clothing that you can use and reuse again and again. Synthetic wrinkle free trousers or skirts in black or grey and a dark pair of unembellished jeans can be teamed with almost all types of tops and t-shirts. Do not carry clothes that might be used only once or twice during the whole trip, unless it is a formal pair that you may need for attending some functions or going to formal restaurants etcetera. When traveling for more than a week, do not carry clothes for all the days that you are planning to be away. This would involve carrying only the same amount of clothing and accessories as a week long trip. Carry along small sachets of washing detergent and a stain treatment stick to make your clothes last throughout your trip. If you can afford it, then of course, the hotel laundry is always an option. Make lists. When you put down everything that you need to pack on paper, you not only remember to pack everything, you also get to notice the “extras” that you are planning to carry. You might find yourself carrying five pants for a seven day trip when you can easily do with three. When making your list, try to include items that can multi task and do away with things that serve only a single purpose. Choose the smallest and the lightest version of the stuff that you plan to carry. Look for travel packs of toiletries like soaps, shampoos and toothpastes. You can find small travel toothbrushes, hair combs and deodorant bottles too. If you really have to, then take along travel irons and hair dryers instead of carrying regular ones. Carry Lightload towels. Towels are one thing that all of us carry around on our trips. But unfortunately these things are bulky and heavy. Switch to light load towels. These are specially created towels that are not only much more absorbent than regular towels; they weigh as less as .5 oz and can be folded to the size of a quarter. Lightload towels are available in two sizes—12x24 inches (hand towel) and 36x60 inches (beach towel). These towels dry faster than regular ones, so you will never again face the hassle of packing in a wet towel and getting your luggage all smelly. These Lightload beach towels serve multiple purposes and you can not only use them after bathing, you can also use them to protect your body in both hot and cold weather.
