Organising: Packing My Case

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’ll start off by saying that I love packing, it’s a mixture of holiday excitement and getting to organise a case. When we go on holiday we pack as lightly as possible, taking one case and one piece of hand luggage.

For hand luggage I use my trusty Kipling Messenger. I’ve had it for years and use it as my handbag for the whole trip; I wear it across my body, making me hands free, essential when walking in cities. My hand luggage consists of; travel details, passports etc in a zip up pouch, a camera and spare batteries, my wallet, a book, sunglasses, wipes, a small umbrella, a map and travel guide.

For the suitcase we’re using an old (falling) apart number that has seen better days. I want/need/would like a new one from Muji but it’s not in the budget. When it comes to travel and organising I’m a Muji girl. I love the whole range. (It’s making up my whole Christmas list this year). I’m packing 7 T-shirts, 1 pair of jeans, 2 pairs of linen trousers and pj’s. Pants, underwear and flip flops in zip loc bags. Make up and toiletries go in Muji Tarpaulin bags, which are very strong.

I have a general packing list that I keep on my pc, ready to print off when needed. it stops me forgetting anything, hopefully!

What about you, how do you pack?
