Packing light

Now, remember guys. On this list I've simply added everything I could think of - you don't need to (and shouldn't) pack it all. Please modify your packing after your destination (of course).


As I mentioned in the beginning, there's different weight restrictions for every airline company, so please check their websites for both carry-on and checked in luggage.

I recommend wearing your heaviest and biggest items on the plane. If it's a jacket, you can always take it off, and it'll save your ass if it's hiking shoes!


Another tip when packing, is to stuff your shoes and purses as much as possible, as well as rolling your clothes - it'll really help save space!
