Vacations sound better and better in today’s environment, and we know from experience that you don’t want to carry a lot of luggage that will tire and confuse you. Among the most sought-after travel tips are the tricks to packing the ideal bag: compact, light, complete.
It may sound like a contradiction and you don’t think that in something 40*30*20 (the dimensions for the plane) you can ensure the necessary for 3 jumps and for 30 days, with the same tricks. But we’ve researched and gathered tips from travel experts to make your next adventure (to Galatia or Greece) easy to get to and easy to get back to, and perfectly wearable.
How we make simple luggage for trips of 3 or 30 days
Anyone who needs more than one piece of luggage is a tourist, not a traveler. – Ira Levin
There is nothing wrong with being a tourist, but being a traveler means going to new places to experience new parts of life, with new customs, discoveries, people and feelings. We go to other places to be with other people and to enrich ourselves with these experiences.
And the baggage is part of our preparation to simplify the process.
Steps to make luggage simpler and complete:
1. Place everything you want to pack on the bed or a flat surface, so that you also have a visual of the final luggage. This will help you see how the pieces go together (it’s perfect if they go together in several ways) and see what doesn’t go with anything and you definitely won’t wear.
Remember that the fear of leaving something behind is the most common fear of travelers. And the list at the beginning and the bag you close after checking it off are the easiest ways to get rid of the feeling.
2. Choose simple and complementary colors. It’s simple if you choose two neutral colors and combine them with 3 other colors or shades. Multi-functionality is key when you’re packing, even if it’s for a few days or more. And scarves are suitable anytime, perfect for a bag, because they can change a look and protect you from heat and cold.
3. Not only the colors must match, but also the materials. Choose inner layers that keep you warm and don’t take up space (tights) or tops specifically designed for runners or hikers that are just as light but warm.
Tip: One of the things you should not miss in your luggage is the “waterproof layer”, which can be a blouse or a jacket. It will be that indispensable item that can save the trip in case of unstable weather.
4. Apply the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule to packing. That is, limit yourself to 5 pairs of socks and underwear, 4 tops, 3 skirts or pants, 2 pairs of shoes and 1 hat/cap. Add a suit, or a dress if the trip calls for it, a bathing suit or workout clothes if that’s your lifestyle and you’re good to go, with 1 pajama, of course, to help you get a good night’s rest next to your bed. hotel.
What the world brings us today is the ability to have anywhere, anything. And if you need more than what is written above, you can re-wear the clothes after cleaning, you can buy or borrow them.
Type: Opt for knits and stretchy fabrics (like spandex). Even when these fabrics wrinkle, the creases will disappear when you hang them. Fabrics (such as linen or cotton) are more prone to wrinkling.
5. Choose between rolling and folding your clothes in your luggage.
If you need more space in your suitcase and aren’t worried about weight, roll your clothes. This will take up much less space than folded shirts and pants. If you don’t need that much space and want to keep the weight down, fold your clothes. Folding is also better if you have clothes prone to wrinkling.
Bonus: at Hotel Orient we offer a clothes ironing service, so that it’s easier for you to pack without worries.
Tip: put the change of shoes as the first item in your luggage and put the rolled up socks in them to save space. You can do the same with jewelry or medicine nets.
6. Cruelly edit the must-have list, because one of the most common preconceived ideas is that we will wear certain items but on location we leave them aside for something much more comfortable. You can keep the list to a minimum if you’re thinking about your last vacation.
“I recommend keeping a separate toiletry set, packed just for travel,” said Marie Kondo, author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Organizing. Keeping a set of toiletries already packed also ensures you don’t forget a toothbrush or contact lens case that you might use on the morning of take-off,” she said.
The same advice can be applied to “electronic luggage”. That way you won’t forget your headphones or chargers.
7. Always wear the bulkiest items, such as the fluffiest sweater. In addition to feeling good, it will leave room in your luggage and can serve as a pillow if you take it down.
And it might not be as comfortable as a hotel, but it will make your life easier. We, for example, are waiting for you with 40 cm mattresses and perfect pillows to recover from the journey.
8. Plan what you want to see before you go. Not only will you have the necessary maps downloaded, but you will know what to carry, what type of luggage is suitable for the trip and often you can even research the weather ahead of time.
Tip: Also bring a separate sack or net or bag for dirty clothes to keep them separate from clean ones.
And don’t forget: if you’re in doubt about something to take, it’s better to leave it at home, if you’ve never worn something, you certainly won’t while traveling and no, you really don’t need to put on a second pair of jeans.
9. If you have the list of places to visit and know the weather, pack those items that you will use first as high as possible. Not only do you avoid creases, but you don’t have to unpack everything to get to them.
We make sure that at the Orient Hotel you have enough space even if you want to unpack completely. The large, comfortable and elegant rooms are part of the atmosphere that makes you happy, in the mood or urges you to relax.
10. Never forget your health essentials: own water bottle, sunscreen or moisturizer, sanitizer, and face masks. There are things that keep you on a path that will only take you to destinations that you can appreciate and have beautiful stories about.
And in Galati, when you are passing through, on vacation or at work, we are committed to welcoming you with warmth, attention and extra care for details. Because any trip should leave you with a pleasant impression.
He speaks with the wisdom of the East, which inspires us: “To travel – first leaves you speechless, so that later you become a storyteller.”
