6 tips on how to pack light for your next trip like a pro
We know how it feels when you plan a week long trip and then can't seem to figure out what you need and don't need.
You end up with two overloaded suitcases and a carry-on, and half your trip is spent lugging around all this excess baggage.

Well, its tough, especially if you have your mom helping you pack extra sweaters to protect you from the flu, but it is possible to consciously pack light if you keep a few things in mind.
Let's discuss.
1) Invest in a good bag
For a short trip the most you'll need is a decent bag; we're thinking the likes of a small trolley case.
We got ours from Companion because a) they've got great deals going on most of the time, and b) they've got amazing after-sales service!
Robur and Gurando are our absolute favourites.
2) Prioritise your gadgets
Think if you'll really be needing your DSLR and your laptop, and all those annoying cables that come with these things?
Decide the purpose of your trip and pack accordingly; if you're traveling solo, its best to ditch the camera (phone-cam selfies for the win!) or if its a business trip, your laptop is all you may need.
Re-evaluate plans for the trip once you sit down to pack. Remember, you can only be so spontaneous.
