Packing cubes are a game changer. I got some from eagle creek and they make my life so much easier.
I also pick my outfits in advance to the best of my abilities and take photos of what Iβm planning to wear each day so i dont have to think too much about it or dig through my suitcase to consider my options.
Bon voyage!
I take packing for a holiday so outrageously seriously. I'm a firm believer in packing cubes. The trick is to fold everything to the same size as the cube and you can fit SO much in. In the top one I have eight tops, 6 bottoms and two dresses!!! You can 100% fit everything you need for up to a ten day trip in a carry on bag if you are efficient enough and that is a hill I am willing to die on
I travel a lot and as a chronic ADHD overpacker whose instincts are to pack half my closet, Iβve made it a practice in the last year or so to not check a bag for trips shorter than a week. I think Tik Tok made me do it??? That said, the bag is essential, and *luxury* carry-on options are overrated and not practical. This weekender changed my life and has helped me to evolve into a meticulously organized packer. I leave the bottom empty if possible to pack anything I get while traveling; I put my toiletries, electronics, and purse inside the main pocket, and it balances perfectly on any roller. I think I get a week of my life back a year by not checking luggage and waiting for it.
