If reading happens to be your favorite hobby, you probably can’t imagine a single day without a book in your hands—even when you travel. Unfortunately, books can take a lot of space in your luggage, so here are three things you should keep in mind before packing them.

Time Management

No matter how passionate you feel about books, you may struggle to find time for reading in certain situations. If you’re going to relax at the beach all day, you’ll have time for reading, but that won’t be the case if you’re out sightseeing most of the time—so pack your books accordingly.

Travel Time

The amount of time you spend on your commute will also determine how much you’re going to read. If your trip includes long rides on a bus or a train, feel free to pack enough books to keep you busy and pass the time.

Space Saver

If you don’t want to waste any suitcase space on books, but still want to read, there are several options you should consider. Replacing physical books with ebooks and audiobooks is the most obvious choice, but you can also do your reading at local book cafés.
