🧳 Packing Hacks

1. Roll, don’t fold.
   Rolling clothes saves space and reduces wrinkles. You can even tuck socks or underwear inside shoes to use every inch of space. 💡 Pro Tip: Use a few rubber bands or hair ties to keep rolled clothes from unraveling.
2. Use packing cubes.
   They’re game-changers for keeping things organized — one cube for tops, one for bottoms, one for underwear, etc. Makes unpacking super fast too.
3. Make a mini “essentials pouch.”
   Include a toothbrush, deodorant, meds, charging cable, and a clean T-shirt. If your luggage gets delayed, you can still survive a day comfortably.
4. Wear your bulkiest items on the plane.
   Jackets, boots, or hoodies take up a ton of suitcase space. Layer them when boarding instead.
5. Leak-proof your liquids.
   Unscrew bottle caps, cover the openings with plastic wrap, then screw the caps back on. No more shampoo explosions. 🙌

🧠 Travel Smart Hacks

1. Digital copies of everything.
   Email yourself or save offline copies of your passport, ID, and itinerary. Lost luggage or phone? You can access them anywhere.
2. Use dryer sheets or coffee filters.
   Slip a dryer sheet into your suitcase for freshness or use coffee filters as makeshift blotting papers or napkins.
3. Download offline maps.
   Google Maps lets you download entire cities — a lifesaver in places with spotty Wi-Fi or when you don’t want to use data.
4. Charge smarter.
   Many hotel TVs have a USB port. Plug your phone in there if outlets are scarce.
5. Bring a lightweight scarf.
   It doubles as a blanket, pillow, shawl, or even a privacy screen on buses and trains.
