A8: LAYERS! (It’s the secret to being a good Canadian) Having layers can help you optimize your wardrobe for all weather types. #InspireToWander

@inspiretowander A8: Ugh! That’s the hardest. Layering what you wear is key. Also, try to wear the bulkier clothes, if it’s manageable, to save room in your bag.

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2. Plan to do laundry at your destination. That way can bring less. Also wash out a pair of socks every night #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel @inspiretowander @tentree @MountainWHouse Glad to know there are other thrift shop fans! I do like looking and utilizing @Poshmarkapp and @thredUP and finding gently utilized and sometimes even new with tags closed or purses on there! I have had excellent luck! #InspireToWander

A9: I thankfully have never gone over my baggage weight allowances! But for those out there that flirt with the line, use a weight tool to help you manage it! If you’re one to buy souvenirs, then start your trip with extra room (and fewer pounds) in your bag! #InspireToWander

@inspiretowander A9: Don’t pack your entire closet or every pair of shoes you own. I know there are some of you out there that do that. 🤣😜

@leisurelambie @inspiretowander Exactly! I’ll endure being warm for a while when traveling somewhere colder

replying to @OliviaRutt @OliviaRutt A9: I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME. Ditch the replaceable items - shampoo, soap, etc & throw on as many clothes as possible. #InspireToWander

A8: Layers, but also on our recent longer trip (6 months) we shipped some shorts and t-shirts home and purchased sweaters, hats and mitts when we got to New Zealand. Cheaper and easier than carrying a bunch more stuff! #inspiretowander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander Put on a tooon of extra layers and for sure ditch what you can replace (essentially shampoo, conditioner, soap etc.) #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A9 Before I purchased a luggage scale a couple of years ago, I would always do the get-on-the-scale-subtract-the-additional-weight thing. Believe it or not, my luggage has never been overweight. #InspiretoWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5: Get the credit cards that offer free baggage and priority check-in, which also means your bags will come out first. #InspireToWander

@IBBtravel I did that when I went to NY & Ireland in September. Packed a bag for NY and shipped it home when I left for Ireland

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel Also did something similar when my wife and I honeymooned in South America for 3 months, but that was shipping home souvenirs and some camping gear we knew we weren't going to use anymore. #InspireToWander

replying to @OliviaRutt
@OliviaRutt A10: Rolling clothes can definitely help. I was able to pack 8 days of clothes in my carry on, probably could have squeezed in another day or two if I needed to.

A10: I am not fully convinced that packing cubes help save space, but I like the organization aspect of them. I like using the compression bags to get as much space out of my bag as possible. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A6: Buy some reputed branded luggage - it has to keep up to the harsh abuse meted out - its your house contents while on the road that you dont want spread out of the conveyor belt. #InspireToWander

replying to @leisurelambie @leisurelambie @inspiretowander We got a luggage scale for Christmas during our trip. It was so amazing to have! We would juggle how we packed our four carry-ons to try and make the weight limits! #InspireToWander
