The post Things You Should Not Bring on a Short Trip appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Non-Versatile Clothing
When you travel for a short time, only bring clothing you can mix and match. The moment that something doesn’t go with all or most of your outfits, it’s only taking up space unnecessarily as you’ll have to take extra clothing to make up for its shortfall.
Toiletries
While some toiletries are essential, it’s important to remember that hotels give you soap, shampoo, and sometimes, conditioner. For this reason, there’s no need to bring extra supplies as this will make your bag baggier than necessary.
Large Bottles
If you are bringing all of your toiletries, avoid packing large bottles as you’re only going away for a brief time. Instead, pour the liquids into smaller bottles that will be sufficient for such a brief trip.
Non-Versatile Shoes
Don’t pack too many pairs of shoes as they can be quite bulky. Wear some versatile shoes that you’ll use a lot and pack those kinds of shoes that can be suitable for an array of situations.

]]>Consider the Materials
While you want to pack clothes that look and feel good, consider what they will look like when you unpack them from your suitcase. Some fabrics, such as linen and cotton twill, crease more easily when you pack them in a bag, so consider packing clothes that are less likely to wrinkle so that you don’t have to get them ironed.
Pack According to Your Schedule
If you know what you want to wear on which day, then make sure to pack the first thing you want to wear on top. This way, you don’t have to rummage through your bags in order to find what you want to wear, meaning that you don’t raise the risk of creasing other clothes.
Use Plastic Bags
When you pack clothes together, there is a risk of items rubbing against each other and potentially getting tangled and pulled. This can ruin your garments forever. Put plastic laundry bags between each item if you can to keep them protected throughout your travels.

]]>Razors
While razors are essential for keeping clean-shaven, the fact that they consist of a blade does pose a security risk. According to the TSA, however, some razors are permitted while others are not. Electric razors generally are allowed in carry-on bags, however, traditional blades generally must go into your checked baggage.
Deodorant
Given that deodorant can come in many forms, including spray, roll-on, and gel, some travellers are unsure if it is permitted because of liquid restrictions. Ultimately, the TSA explained that all deodorants are treated like liquids, so make sure that each bottle you bring in your carry-on bag meet liquid requirements. Otherwise, pack them in your checked bags.
Makeup
Solid and powder makeup don’t face any restrictions. Liquid makeup, however, follows the same guidelines as other liquids, so make sure they’re packed in bottles that meet liquid requirements.

]]>Noise-Canceling Headphones
Being able to block out the sound around you and immerse yourself into your own world of music or a TV show can be a lifesaver. Consider downloading some rain sounds to play while you sleep.
Food
If you don’t want to pay outrageous prices for snacks on the plane, why not pack a few things to munch on? After all, the last thing you want is to get hangry while traveling.
Layers
You can never be sure what the temperature in the aircraft will be, so a great idea is to either pack or wear layered clothing. That way, you’ll be comfortable no matter what the temperature in-flight is.
Eye Mask
If you’re traveling during night hours, don’t forget to pack an eye mask to tune out the light around you and help you sleep.
Portable Charger
The last thing you want is to worry about your phone or tablet running out of power. Pack a portable charger to stay calm with a backup power source while traveling.

]]>Always Be Prepared
When it comes to the preachings of not overpacking, you’ll often hear people say that you should stop worrying about “not being prepared” for certain occasions. We actually completely agree with that sentiment. However, there’s a big difference between not being prepared for a random occasion where you’ll need that funky-looking dress—and not being prepared because it’s all of a sudden freezing outside and you have no sweatshirt.
A sweatshirt is an essential item, and even though the weather seems to be hot, the weather can also be unpredictable. It’s always good to bring one on your trip, and it’s worth whatever suitcase space you think you’re compromising. If space in your bag really bothers you, find a sweatshirt that’s compact and not super bulky if that helps!

]]>Remember Your Personal Item
What’s great with many airlines is that they allow you to bring a personal item on board the aircraft in addition to your carry-on luggage. This could be a purse, laptop bag, or even a musical instrument. Make sure to take advantage of this perk so as to maximize what you can travel with. A large tote bag could also pass as a personal item, making for a great way to bring extra baggage.
Use Packing Cubes
In addition to keeping items separate and easier to find, packing cubes are also good at compressing these items and minimizing the space they take up. Simply divide up your possessions by category and pack them in separate packing cubes before putting those in your carry-on.
Pack Cosmetics Carefully
Even if you are intent on applying makeup on vacation, remember that you don’t need to take your entire collection with you. Also, consider decanting large bottles of liquids into smaller bottles that are more appropriate for the shorter trip.

]]>Roll, Don’t Fold
One of the most well-known packing techniques, rolling instead of folding clothes is a great way to save space in suitcases of all sizes. By compressing air out from between layers of fabric, it allows you to fit more items into a limited space and can also help to minimize wrinkles. Stay organized by placing your rolled-up items into packing cubes, or use vacuum bags to make everything even more compact.
Travel-Size Toiletries
This one should theoretically go without saying, as most airlines have limits on how much liquid passengers can take on the plane, but when packing toiletries, one of the best ways to save space is by opting for travel-sized bottles. To reduce the chances of a shampoo explosion and eliminate the need for bulky containers, you may even consider swapping traditional toiletries for solid versions, such as shampoo bars and toothpaste tablets.
Choose Multi-Purpose Items
Limited space means a limited number of items, so get more bang for your packing buck by choosing pieces that can be worn for a number of occasions. Prioritize versatile clothing in neutral colors that can be mixed and matched, wearing your largest items on the plane. For example, if you’re traveling somewhere cold, an oversized scarf can be used to stay warm in your destination while serving as a makeshift blanket during your flight.

]]>Small Jewelry Bags
Keep all your jewelry in one place so they don’t get lost in your bag and they can be easily located. You’ll want these when going out at night or to dinner!
First Aid Kit
Always keep a small first aid kit on your so you have it when you need it, and will not need to stop in random places searching for somethig you may not find. Keep all your essentials in there like bandaids, anti itch cream, vaseline, Tylenol, and probiotics. This will be more efficient then having to stop at different times to get essentials.
(@miliy_oils)Laundry Bags
Always keep a small laundry bag handy so you can keep track of clean from dirty clothes. This will also be helpful if you’re dumping your clothes at a wash and fold facility.

]]>Choose Versatile Pieces
One of the most effective ways to avoid over-packing is by sticking with versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits. Prioritize pieces that you know you’ll actually wear, especially in neutral colors and timeless silhouettes that can be dressed up or down. As you pack, consider factors such as the climate of your destination and what activities you may have planned so that you don’t include any unnecessary items.
Downsize
The bigger your suitcase, the more likely you are to fill it with items you don’t need and potentially go over the weight limit allowed by most airlines. If you’re just going away for a couple of days, see if you can get by with a carry-on bag. For week-long trips, medium-sized suitcases of around 25” offer a convenient alternative to larger styles.
Do Laundry On the Go
This one may not be relevant for shorter getaways, but if you’re planning a trip of two weeks or more, see if you can find a place to do laundry rather than packing enough clothing for the entire time. Many hotels have in-house laundry rooms or outsourced services available for a fee, but you can also search online for local laundromats or even pick up a bottle of detergent and hand-wash dirty items in the sink.

]]>Handbags
While a handbag can be both practical and stylish, bringing too many on vacation can take up a lot of space. Also, not every handbag is suitable for every outfit or occasion. If you are going to be travelling with a handbag, then make sure it is versatile so that it can be used in multiple situations.
Too Many Shoes
If you’re going away for a short while, then don’t bother bringing too many shoes. In fact, the ones you wear on the plane should be ones you’re going to use on your vacation as well. Make sure that the shoes you bring are all practical for walking, especially if you’re going sightseeing or hiking.
Non-Versatile Clothes
Sometimes, picking out outfits can be challenging, especially if colors clash. This is why you should wear neutral, versatile clothes on vacation. This way, you can bring fewer clothes as more options go with each other.
