My Personal Tips
- Roll clothes to save space and minimize wrinkles.
- Research your destination’s weather and pack accordingly.
- Pack your clothes according to your trip for example, if you trip is for 3 days then take 3 pairs of clothes and 2 pairs of undergarments and comfortable lower or T-shirt for night sleep.
- Pair of Polythene because you have to go out immediately after your bath, where will you keep your wet undergarments, so you will keep them in polythene so that you bag will be saved.
- If you are thinking of trekking then a very important thing is your shoes because good quality shoes will protect your feet and also your body balance because if you sprain your foot while trekking then rest of your trip will go waste.
