Roll pack your clothes
Who doesn’t want to look the best for your Instagram travel story feeds? Which means you might want to carry lots in that small space.

Also make sure your light-colored clothes are packed inside out to avoid any unwanted stains when cramped together.

Ziplock bags

Well, you simply get yourself a stash of ziplock bags for the phone charger, camera charger, adaptors, headphones and you can save yourself time and the ear-fuming situation.

Stay fresh
