Packing light can be difficult, but whether traveling to nearby
states or another country, learning to how to is fundamental to
prevent overpacking. Here are a few tips for packing lighter:
Make a packing list
To ensure sure you don't forget valuable items, consider making
a packing list of things to bring along while planning your trip.
You can further separate the list into two sections: essential and
unnecessary.

 Roll clothes instead of folding
Since clothes take up the most space in your bag, you
can save room by rolling them up and enclosing them
into vacuum-sealed packets. This also prevents crease
marks caused by folding and the need for ironing.
Don't pack for "just in case" scenarios
Most people bring items in case of specific scenarios,
but frequently don’t use them during the trip, if at all.
Some of these include raincoats, umbrellas, an extra
pair of shoes, and unnecessary clothing items.
