WHAT TO PACK FOR A FUN WEEKEND

The art of packing a backpack is about minimalism and convenience. Although a backpack could sometimes mean limited space, it doesn’t mean you have to go on your trip underprepared.

• A pair of comfortable shoes
• 3-day outfits
• 2-night outfits
• Sleepwear or pyjamas
• Toiletries
• 3 pairs of underwear, Socks
• Phone or Tablet or Laptop with the chargers
• Wallet and cash

The list above covers the basics on what you’ll generally need for a fun weekend trip. You can build the list up depending on where you’ll be going and what you’ll be doing on your trip. The most important thing to note is to always have the necessary items. Hence, the need for a backpack. Backpacks are very handy, practical and multifunctional. They also come with lots of useful features that can help you organize your stuff for the trip. 

HOW TO PACK EFFICIENTLY FOR YOUR TRIP

Here are a few useful hacks to help you pack for your trip in the most efficient manner.

• Packing multi-tasking items would help you pack less. Wearing clothes that can work for both day and night will save you from having to pack a change of clothes for the evenings. A cool tip is to pack clothes that are versatile and could easily be matched with others. For instance, you could quite easily match a pair of jeans or black pants with multiple tops and still stay stylish. if you need to exercise on the trip your sleepwear could also double as exercise clothing.
• Organize your stuff before placing them into the backpack. Backpacks usually come with interesting features such as inner sleeves where you can keep your laptop or tablet, or a bottle holder. Also, there are small pockets where you can place small items that could easily get lost.
• Keep things in other things. For instance, your charger or universal adapter can fit into your shoe. So you could place them in your shoes before placing them in your backpack.
• Roll your clothes. Rolling your clothes instead of folding will help you conserve more space and keep your clothes from wrinkling.
• Packing cubes. Packing cubes are great for compressing and organizing your stuff into the backpack. You can get some packing cubes from Amazon, eBay or any store near you.
• Use your hotel toiletries. Most hotels usually provide toiletries such as disposable toothbrushes, soaps, shower caps, towels and more. So, if you’re going to be staying at a hotel, keep your toiletries at the bare minimum.
• Wearing your heaviest item while you travel. Wearing your coats, scarves and boots means you don’t have to place any of them into your backpack. Therefore, you get to use your remaining backpack space for other important items.
• Buy stuff along the way. You don't need to pack snacks or facial wipes along with you. These items are easy to get in most places. So, you can just buy them along the way.
