The seasoned traveller knows that the signs of a successful trip – be it for pleasure or for business – start with being organized in packing your luggage. Follow these tips from Professional Organizer, Linda Chu of Out of Chaos, and arrive at your destination prepared for serious business and/or serious fun.

Packing Tips

  1. Place heaviest items on the bottom (i.e. shoes)
  2. Pack your items tightly together
  3. Roll or fold all clothes
  4. Layer clothes to avoid shifting and bunching
  5. Place belts inside your shoes
