Your-How-to-Pack


More or less? 

Is it really better to pack more than less? Reich says yes. “It's better to pack more. There's nothing worse than being away from home and not having something you could have packed.”

 

Mixed Items 

Packing clothes, shoes and delicate items all in one, confined spot can be tricky. Reich says the best way to maneuver this is by packing in layers. ”Place the heaviest items on the bottom and put any liquids that can spill in sealed or Ziploc bags.” For breakable items, Reich suggests using bubble wrap or even a t-shirt to protect them. Securely place the items in a spot where they can’t move; for instance, between your layers of clothes. 

 

Utilize the Space

Just because your suitcase isn’t the size of Barbie’s Dream House doesn’t mean you can’t fit everything you need in it. To utilize all of the space in your suitcase, put heavier items (like shoes) on the bottom. Pack in layers, and pack items that may wrinkle in tissue paper.
