''When planning my packing, I first think about the forecast during the trip, and then I look at the activities I plan to do. I prefer to plan my outfits day by day in advance!''

"I have a passion for traveling, and I've found that some trips tend to be longer than others. To optimize my luggage space, I roll up my clothes and wear bulky items such as boots or tennis shoes, along with my heaviest jacket during transit. Additionally, I prioritize packing dresses, especially floral or maxi dresses, as they take up minimal space and offer versatility in styling, allowing me to dress them up or down with accessories. Unlike packing jeans and a shirt, which are two separate pieces, a dress is a complete outfit on its own. This not only saves space but also simplifies my packing process. With the extra space saved, I can bring back some souvenirs from my travels without worrying about exceeding my luggage allowance."

''Before I start packing, I always take a moment to go over my itinerary. It's a simple step, but it helps me pack smarter and avoid the temptation to overpack. My top tips for efficient packing come down to two things: having the right gear and using the best techniques. One essential item in my arsenal is my trusty packing compression cubes—they're like magic for keeping my outfits organized and saving precious space in my luggage. I swear by the rolling technique, where I neatly roll up my tops and bottoms together. And when it comes to maximizing space, I'm all about utilizing every nook and cranny. That's why you'll find my sunglasses snugly tucked into my footwear and any accessories stashed away in my purses.''
