Traveling light is not always easy. So being clever to save the smallest space in the suitcase is quite an art. Here are some tips on how to do it: - Use travel organizers - Make a list of your essentials (to be divided into 3 categories: clothes and accessories, toiletry and medicine kits, multimedia...) to take only the bare minimum - Prepare your looks in advance so that you have outfits that are appropriate for the outings and activities - Take only the basic and practical clothes you are used to (no need to bother with clothes you are not sure to wear!) - Roll your clothes (especially for soft, lightweight materials that may have wrinkles). - Fold wrinkle-free clothes (t-shirts, sweaters, jeans...) and store them upright. - Choose optimized suitcases with pockets, compartments, solid attachments... - Wrap your socks inside the shoes. - Place heavy items (shoes, toilet bags, etc.) towards the wheels. - Stack your underwear rather than balled up. - Place fragile objects in the socks. - Use vacuum covers: put your clothes in a plastic container and suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner. . The volume will be divided by 4 but make sure you have the means to do the same technique on your return. . - Do the ranger packing technique which involves rolling several outfits together
