Packing for travel

Indie Travel » Packing for travel

Packing for travel isn’t most people’s favourite part of a trip. Perhaps you always take too much, or find that you’ve left essentials behind. Maybe you’re the kind of person who packs a pocket knife in her carry-on luggage. (That’s just an example, I’m not saying it’s happened to me… and certainly not more than once!)

Perhaps you always forget to pack small-sized toiletries, or just can’t decide which clothes will be useful and which will be a waste of time.
