I used to get so worked up when preparing for a long trip. This feeling of a thousand pounds would start to weigh on me as I thought about what I needed to pack and how much of it I needed to take with me. Do you ever feel like that? I am not one to just throw clothes in a duct taped garbage bag (a la Tommy Boy), so I searched for a simple, efficient way to pack my carry-on with enough clothes for a week. I tried rolling my clothes up like a boy scout going to camp, I tried folding them in little squares like the metro clothing stores in the mall, and nothing seemed to work. Everything I tried, either took up too much space or made my clothing look like I had slept in them for three days. That was until I discovered the bundling method for packing.

This process allows you to reduce the used space of your packed clothing to smaller sizes without decreasing the volume. This method also minimizes wrinkles, guaranteeing you will show up to your client meetings or presentations looking first class. Last year we traveled to South Africa and Swaziland and I was able to pack for eighteen days into a medium suitcase and a backpack. The amazing part about the trip was, I actually had room in my bag for all the souvenirs I bought to bring back.

Below, I have included a few resources that will help you learn how to save space and travel efficiently.
