- Wear a sling bag for quick access to your stuff without having to go into your big bag on the airplane.
- You probably don’t need the fancy laundry soap packets to wash your clothes in the sink. You can use a little bit of laundry soap bar in a plastic bag, or in a pinch, some hand soap.
- Nice sandals (like Bedrock) and zero-drop shoes (like Lems) can pack real flat into your bag and reclaim some space.
- Bring a Heroclip, a carabiner which can double as a hook to keep your nice backpack off the bathroom floor.
- Little A6 notebooks fit almost anywhere and are a great way to jot down notes during your trip.
