How to make suitcases weigh less


Travel does not start when you get on a plane or when you put your bags in the car or on the train, they already start when you buy them and, especially, when you start packing. With the mess that there is now with this that you can not pass a gram of the weight and that you have to pay for a second suitcase, you have to do it thoroughly to be able to make the most of all the space and take at least much better. Take note of the following tips to make the suitcase weigh less:

- Before you find out if where you are going to stay there are cleaning supplies (almost all hotels from 3 stars have it) or if they offer you beach towels or swimming pool, something that almost all hotels already do in great sun destinations. With this you will save a lot of space, since especially the towels occupy and weigh a lot.

- Prepare the clothes according to the season you are in and do not mix several. It is good that even if it is summer, bring a little jacket in case one night refreshes, but you don't need to bring four.

- Wear clothes that are in colors that you can easily combine so that with few you can get various styles.


- Carries fair and necessary clothing, normally it is a pair of pants for every two days, two pairs of shoes and a shirt for each day. This is much less if you only go with the intention of being all day in a pool or on the beach since you can wear the same sarong, dress or shorts every day.

make a list with all the things that you are going to take to have everything under control and analyze if it really is essential.

- If you have to carry heavy things try to carry them by hand. For example, if you are going to wear a coat, take it by hand so that it does not take up space in your suitcase.

- Keep in mind that wherever you go there is a laundry, so you can do without a garment since you can wash the ones you wear and put them back on without any problem.

- Finally, keep in mind that if you are short of clothes you can always buy something at your destination, while if you carry more you will take up a lot of space and will not use it.
