Summer is just around the corner, and if you’re not already dreaming about your vacation—it’s time to start! Packing is usually the most tedious part of every trip, but we’re here to help you avoid the most common mistakes and have the summer holiday of your dreams.
Pack Lightly
Packing lightly is the easiest way to avoid expensive baggage fees, especially in the summer. Summer clothes are usually lightweight, so you’ll easily fit them inside a carry-on.
Check the Weather
Even when traveling to warm destinations, weather changes can catch you off guard. Check the weather forecast and make sure to bring a light jacket or a sweater so you can be prepared for all weather conditions.
Limit Shoes
Shoes tend to take up a lot of space, so stick to packing only a few pairs suitable for different activities. It’s best to travel in your walking shoes because they’re the bulkiest, and pack up sandals and sleepers because they take up less space.
Don’t Limit Swimwear
The number of swimsuits you’re going to bring is one thing you don’t have to limit because they barely take up any space.
Summer Essentials
Make a packing list so you won’t forget to bring some of the easily overlooked summer essentials, such as sunscreen, insect repellant, a water bottle, sunglasses, and a hat.
