One of the best ways to de-stress on vacation is to travel as light as
possible. Simply put, less baggage means less to worry about. It always
sounds like a good idea until you actually start packing. That’s when
you realise that it is near impossible for you to pack light.
Regardless, Jumia Travel highlights tips to help you master the art of packing light.
It’s all about the roll
Rolling your clothes instead of folding them is a huge space-saver. You will be able to fit more into a smaller suitcase.
Use shoes to store valuables
Don’t let any space go to waste because it can be very useful. Filling
your shoes with clothes and other items will help keep their shape while
squished into your suitcase.

Plan your outfits for each day you’re gone
Before you pack, lay out an outfit for each day to cut down the chances
you’ll pack more than you need. It’s simple, but much more effective
than just guessing and throwing a bunch of random stuff in a bag.

than just guessing and throwing a bunch of random stuff in a bag.
Pack bottoms you can wear several times
Maximize space by doubling up on how many days you wear your pants,
skirts and other bottoms. The more outfits you can make from the least
amount of bottoms, the better. For example, you can pack 3 shirts for
one bottom.

Take advantage of laundry services
It’s easy when you’re staying with a friend or family member, but if
you’re staying at hotels, call ahead and get the details on their
laundry service.
