With so many places to visit around the world, what worries most of the avid travelers is how to Pack lightly for a long trip. To give you a clarity on this particular topic, we have come up with an article that solely focuses on the steps to pack lightly for a long trip. While everyone has their own ideas and preferences while traveling, the tips help you be more organized and help you get the best out of the travel.

Choosing a proper bag is one of the foremost things to do before going on an adventure. Get a bag which is light with the dimensions that will make it fit in the flight overhead compartment. With so many custom-made bags now available in the market, pick a backpacker kind of a bag with wheels on it. This way, you can carry the bag whenever you like and also drag it along when you don't feel like carrying it.

Having you heard the phrase, 'Less is More'. Although some may find it hard to find its suitability in our lives, it fits perfectly when it comes to traveling. Indulge in a thorough research of the destination you will be traveling to including all the popular attractions, examining its weather in close detail and start with your packing. An efficient way to fit in more through your bag is by rolling the clothes and putting a rubber band over it.
When it comes to the number of pairs, you want to carry, always stick with this. Three shirts, Three pairs of Underwear, Three pairs of Socks, Two pairs of Pants, and One pair of Shorts. Wear one, wash one, and dry one. This why you will run out of clothes to wear. Most of the accommodations around the world, come with the facility to wash so less clothes will never be a problem for you. And as you are very busy packing make use of a route planner to plan a vacation without any hassles.

The rule of the slippers is very critical. Stuffing a bulky shoe into your bag will definitely not help. Instead try wearing the bulk shoe and pack your bag with flip-flops. They take very little space and are great to use. Additionally, if you want to carry your favorite shoe for your travel along with the ones you are wearing. Put in your shoes first in the bag and sneak in your clothes inside the shoe pocket. Voila!

For all the essentials including toiletries and chargers, keep a separate small pouch. As for the toiletries, check if your hotel will offer you complimentary toiletries. If only they don't carry yours. Carrying the chargers will come in as a big challenge especially if you are planning to carry all your gadgets. First decide if you will use the gadgets. Unless, it is a business travel it is not necessary to carry your laptop all the places to visit. Instead ditch them and carry a plug extender with a USB port.

Plus, some of the other must-carry's that don’t take much space are swimsuit, compact umbrella, sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, repellant, first-aid kit, razor, flashlight, and jackets. Most importantly while picking every stuff to put inside the bag. Ask yourself, if the thing is actually necessary or if you can survive without it. This way, you will tend to pack less and pack which is of prime importance.

All sorted out now, go on that long-awaited holiday for unlimited fun.
