A Case for a Girls’ Trip

 

Girls just wanna have fun! Hell yeah! But max fun takes smart preparation. That’s why we’re going to travel across the world wide web, to find you the best tips, tricks and travel hacks to ensure your trip is a blast from start to finish. 

 

The superb Stripe Blog offers us some invaluable hacks and tips. Here are 3 for you:  

 

“Tip No. 1: Packing Light Means Packing Strategically.

Make a packing list to ensure you have everything you need. Lay everything you want to bring out first before you pack. Place the bulkiest items (sneakers, pairs of pants, jeans, etc) at the bottom of the suitcase (toward the wheels) and save the smaller, lightest items like socks, underwear, and bras to fit into random spots (I always stuff small items into my shoes, for example). If you’re bringing a hat, stuff the crown with small soft items and place it flat on the base of the suitcase. Then pack everything else around it! I’ve packed like this for the past couple of years and it makes a big difference – you’d be shocked how much space it frees up!”

 

Tip No. 2: Pack Separates That Can Easily Be Mixed And Matched!

I am such a dresses girl so this is hard, but I really find that packing pieces (tops + skirts and/or pants) that can mix and match a) takes up less space in my suitcase and b) is so much more versatile! You’ll save space AND have more potential outfits.

 

Tip No. 3: Prevent Wrinkles!

You know those plastic garment bags from the dry cleaners? They are actually a godsend for preventing wrinkles when you pack. I always save my plastic bags to reuse when packing. Pack your delicate items inside a plastic garment bag and gently fold as you usually would prevent wrinkles!”

“Non-Valuable Jewellery It’s a good idea to travel with jewellery that wouldn’t break your heart if it were to go missing. There are lots of inexpensive necklaces and bracelets on the market these days that will make a statement without breaking the bank.

 

Bras in Neutral Colours 

To travel as light as possible, try to bring undergarments that can be worn under anything. A skin-tone bra can go seamlessly underneath shirts of any color, whereas a hot pink one can definitely not! This bra is neutral and functional… perfect for traveling.



Duffel Bag or Suitcase - Depending on where you’re headed, one of the most important things you need to bring is your suitcase. If you’re off for a weekend adventure, go for a backpack or an overnighter duffel. If your trip is a week or longer, think about getting a rolling suitcase and just bringing a smaller carry-on.”
