Buying New Clothes

If shopping is an essential part of every trip you embark on, consider leaving some breathing room in your suitcase, especially if you’re planning to wear the new items you’ve bought.

Easy to Handle

Your suitcase will be much lighter when it’s not overpacked, and this will make it easier to handle, especially if you’re changing location and navigating uneven terrain.

No Extra Fees

Avoiding overpacking also means avoiding potential overweight baggage fees. Leaving some breathing room in your suitcase is the best way to make sure it fits the airline’s weight limits.

Better Organization

Having extra room in your suitcase will make it easier to keep things organized and easily find everything you need instead of rummaging through your luggage.

However, over-packing can lead to an overly stuffed and heavy bag, and sometimes even takes up space for things that truly are necessary!

Here are four common items that are packed in luggage but should really be left at home.

Too Many Shoes

While it might be tempting to pack a pair of shoes for every possible occasion on your trip, the truth is that shoes are heavy and take up lots of space. Limit yourself to the basics and the pair or pairs that are truly needed.

Shampoo and Body Wash

There’s really no reason to pack these shower essentials when traveling. Unless you’re staying in a bare-bones hostel, these things will probably be provided by wherever you’ll be staying.

Extra Jackets

If you are traveling to a place that will require a jacket, keep it simple and don’t pack too many. For example, traveling to Russia in the winter is probably only going to require a heavy jacket, so why overpack with a light one?

Towels

The same thing that goes for shampoo and body wash, goes for towels. There’s no need to pack them if your accommodations are going to provide them!
