Top 4 Tips for Packing (applies to anywhere)!
#1 Check the weather
- Always check the weather on the official weather observation website of where you are going to, they are usually more accurate than the ones on apps (e.g. Yahoo weather)
- By checking the weather you would know what to pack, e.g. shorts or pants, sweater or t-shirts etc.
#2 Bring a few extra pair of undies
- Well it's always safe to bring some extras since you never know when the time of the month will be.
#3 Don't over pack
- Even though over packing might be good since there will be more options in clothes or shoes or more cleans undies, but you could do laundry there, and its better to do some laundries throughout the trip than bringing your smelly clothes back home.
#4 Use packing cubes
- I know how people said that packing cubes takes up a lot of space, but it really helps sort everything out and when you are flipping through things you wouldn't mess up the others.
Packing List
//Suitcase//
Clothing:
- 3 pair of shorts
- Since they don't take up much space it's fine to take more but you could always wear them more than once
- 8 t-shirts
- Basic tees could be worn more than once without the feeling of wearing it again, since you could add a cardigan or tuck it into the shorts for a new outfit. Some t-shirts could be used as a cover up on bathing suits.
- 2 Cardigan/Jacket
- When it gets breezy you could always wear a light jacket on top of your outfit, and two of them to change around without the feeling of wearing it repetitively.
- 1-2 sets of bathing suits
- Where I will be going is full of beaches and pools so there's always a chance for swimming. I'm bringing one more set just in case it doesn't dry on time.
- Undergarments
- It's basically a must, you could bring fewer undies since you could wash it and they dry pretty quickly, but bring enough bras for everyday since its harder for them to dry.
- 2 pair of pants
- Just in case it gets breezy and for activities that you longer pants. Also for going back to Hong Kong.
- 2 Sweater/Hoodie
- Only when it gets cold but not too cold where you have to wear long pants.
