Some how, packing minimaly became a brag. At Roam Refined we believe in prepared packing, ultimately this will easy your travel stress and ensure you have all the pieces you need to enjoy your travels.
By implementing organized packing strategies, you can maximize space and accessibility within your luggage.
- Packing Cubes. These handy organizers keep your items from moving around in your bag and make unpacking a breeze. We especially love one with compression, like these from Canadian luggage company Monos. The compression squeezes out the extra air and allows you to maximize your space.
- Plan your outfits and stick to neutral colours. While this might sound a little rigid, it will save you from lugging around unnecessary clothing. Remember: greens and animal prints can add some pop!
- Shoes. First and foremost is comfort. Look for lightweight shoes that will work in a variety of situations. Companies like Vessi (another Canadian favourite) make waterproof shoes in a number of styles.
Looking for packing tips for a specific type of trip? We have suggestions for expeditions, beach holidays, cruising (river and ocean), as well as tours.
