How to Stay Organized While You Travel!
Beautiful weather means time outdoors and new memories! Whether you plan on taking a week-end road trip or flying to an all-inclusive destination, here are some ideas on how to stay organized while you are traveling.
Get Your Home Organized
Trips can be exhausting and who wants to come home and have to do a ton of work?! The very first recommendation when planning a trip is to organize your house! After a long vacation it’s nice to come back home and not have to worry about cleaning up and organizing.
Make A List
Start writing a list in advance! Think of all of your necessities that you use on a daily basis—from your phone charger to your shampoo and conditioner. Writing your list ahead of time is best so you don’t forget anything of importance. Tip: Bring the list with you so you don’t forget anything when you are packing to return home!
Bring a Folder or Pouch
Especially if you are flying, it is always a good idea to bring a folder or pouch with your important information for the trip. For example- your itinerary, airline tickets, passport, hotel information, etc. Keeping this in your carry on will leave it right at your fingertips for when you need quick access to it.
Choose Clothing Wisely
Plan your outfits ahead of time. Don’t bring your whole wardrobe. Pack what you absolutely need. Bring things that you can mix and match to create multiple looks. Remember to bring layers. Rolling your clothes when packing will allow for you to fit more into your suitcase.
Pack Your Toiletries in Ziplocs
Always pack your toiletries in Ziploc bags. This will protect your other items in case anything leaks. Even though we may not want to admit it, sometimes our bags get thrown around at the airport. It’s best to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Make Yourself at Home
Don’t be afraid to use the dressers at the hotel or wherever you are staying! Unpack and make yourself at home. This way you don’t have to dig through your suit case and turn everything upside down to find something.
Use the Washer and Dryer
Wash your clothes while you are traveling! This allows for you to not have to pack as many items and also allows for you to bring clean clothes back home!
Unpack As Soon As You Get Home
After that relaxing beautiful trip unpack as soon as you get home! If you followed the tip of washing your clothes, then it should be EASY! This will also take some stress away when it’s time to get back into the routine of your everyday life.
