Packing Lightly

When it comes to travelling, packing the essential travel gears can always be a hassle. There will be times where you think that you have packed below your means only to find out that you have exceeded the weight limit in the airport. This can lead to incurring baggage fees, which you don't want! So here are some useful tips on how to pack lightly:

Suitcase

Packing light has to always start with the type of suitcase you have. A well-known and compact suitcase you'd want to consider using is the Chester Minima 7lbs carry-on roller suitcase. This suitcase feels super light on the hands yet offers a lot of space with its compartments, to help you keep your luggage organised. For more information about the Chester Minima, watch Dia Jin's review.

Clothes

When it comes to packing your clothes, you must decide carefully what type of clothes you are going to take based on the seasonal weather, and whether you will actually wear that piece of clothing. In order to get as much space as possible, you would also need to make sure that your clothes are folded properly. To find out how to do this, watch this video about how to fold your clothes in a compact way.

Toiletries

Packing toiletries is much simpler if there are no toiletries packed, as your hotel should provide most of them to you. However, if you feel that the hotel toiletries may not be up to your standards, then you can only bring toiletries that will actually be used during your trip.

Flight and Accommodation Deals

There are possibly thounsands of booking websites on the internet when it comes to booking flights and accommodation. The sad truth about this is that not all of them offer the most reliable prices. The most trusted websites that are known for providing one of the cheapest prices for flights and accommodation are Sky Scanner and Airbnb.

Skyscanner

Skyscanner is a well-known flight booking website that works with many travel providers to offer the flight fares. Even if you don't have a particular destination in mind, it has a feature called "Everywhere" which displays available destinations for the cheapest price and fastest journey time.

Airbnb

Airbnb is a well-known accommodation sharing website that allows people to rent out their properties to foreign guests. Many foreign guests love to use Airbnb due to the great value for it's price range, especially in locations where the hotel across the road would have a substantially higher price.

Travel Photography

When it comes to travelling, capturing moments through a snapshot of a camera is what initiates the spark of travel photography for many people. Being able to share these pictures with your friends and relive the moment is a truly wonderful experience. But what if you wanted to improve your travel photography and take it up a notch? This video will give you an insight on how to take better travel photos.
