I'm pretty good at making a list and packing on time but I always seem to forget something or misplace something (meaning I forget which bag it is in - usually the bag I didn't personally pack, ahem men - and then end up buying something new only to "find it" about 4 hours later... lol). You are very organized!Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545429766291675695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-28734801305516649102015-05-12T12:35:24.264-07:002015-05-12T12:35:24.264-07:00Great tips!

I'm actually leaving tomorrow to go to Korea, and like you I tend to procrastinate on packing until the last minute (ahem, tonight for me). =) I am ALL about traveling lightly with mix/match items and bringing your own food/water bottle. Those are lifesaving tips!<br /><br />Here are some of my other favorite travel hacks. I like to pack a scarf/pashmina - it's very compact, can dress up outfits easily, and can keep you warm in a pinch. For the neutral t-shirts and athletic clothes, I will also use those another way - as pajamas! I stuff my shoes with my underwear and socks to save luggage space. I use an eyeglass case to store my various electronic chargers. Finally - I bring old underwear/socks and shoes that are on their very last legs, and then dispose of them at the end of the trip instead of bringing them home (leaving more room for souvenirs =) )emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298679531196459259.post-18075631274443278772015-05-12T11:36:52.570-07:002015-05-12T11:36:52.570-07:00That sounds amazing!
