Lucky for you, we\u2019ve compiled a list of helpful tips by globetrotting experts to ensure an enjoyable and successful journey ahead. Happy packing!<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do Your Homework <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t matter if you use an organizational app or a sheet of paper, it\u2019s essential to make a packing checklist. There are obvious items to remember, such as your passport and clean underwear, but consider the area that you\u2019re about to explore. If it\u2019s a warmer climate, you\u2019ll need a bathing suit, and if it\u2019s a colder climate, you\u2019ll need an extra layer. Every traveler packs specifically to suit their destination, so do your homework before you begin!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roll &gt; Fold <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every explorer prefers to pack their clothing differently, but experts agree that rolling is more efficient and kinder to your fabrics. Not only does rolling your shirts and pants provide more room in the suitcase, but it also decreases the chance of wrinkles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Carry-On is Your Friend <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re checking a suitcase, most airlines allow you to carry a smaller bag onto the plane with you. Transfer your in-flight essentials, such as headphones and wallet, into a zippered pouch and store in a secure pocket of your carry-on. Consider packing an extra change of clothes as well. You might want to change into a fresh shirt once you land, depending on the length of your flight. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pack Once, Then Pack Again <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to traveling abroad, less is truly more. As a rule, pack your suitcase once, and then subtract half of the items you initially planned to bring. By removing half of your clothing, you can determine what is necessary and what takes up more space. Consider planning your daily outfits ahead of time to cut down on excess packing. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>Travel The World With AESU<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/res.aesu.com\/stw\/stwdirectory.aspx?theme=aesu&amp;groupid=aesu-main\"><b>AESU <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offers unique, thrilling travel programs for college students and young professionals at affordable rates.
