 Wow, is it for real that I'm going home already? Yes indeed, my vacation time's up now. I'm packing up my stuff to catch my flight back to New York. But as I was browsing my site in the Organizing category, I noticed that I haven't written a blog about how to pack for a trip. It's quite an irony, really; now that I'm leaving, I'll be giving tips on how to pack a suitcase. But as they say, it's never too late!
For all ye travel buffs out there, here are some of the tips I compiled on how to pack lightly in order to enjoy your travels.
1) Leave your "I might" need stuff at home.

Just think of it this way: if you've never worn it at home, chances are, you'll never wear it while you're on vacay. Just stick with the tried-and-tested and whatever you're comfy with. Leave out the "just in case" clothes that you might not wear anyway. It's important to schedule how long you'll be gone and bring corresponding clothing.
2) Don't forget to list your "must takes". How to pack involves making a quick list of all your necessities. Don't forget your camera, toothbrush, deodorant, socks, and of course, your underwear. Also, bring things for anything specific. A swimwear perhaps? Wedding outfits, ski clothes---you know what I mean.
3) Plan out the clothes/items you want to bring. Just take those important stuff which are easy to mix and match such as a pair of blue jeans, neutral colors like khakis, black pants and plain tops and denim jackets.
4) Weather you like it or not. When you travel, it's important to be mindful of the weather of the city/country you're headed. Check out weather.com so that you can plan what clothing to bring. But always have with you the basic essentials: sunglasses, hats/caps, jackets.
5) It's totally fine to reuse the same outfit many times. An LBD (little black dress) can be used universally in almost any formal dinners. For the men, no one would notice the same tie you wear the last time you were in London.
In the end, knowing how to pack could mean less stress and hassles for you as a traveler.
