Going on a trip. Need about 5 outfits. I’ve packed 35 just to be safe.

Is anyone else an over packer? I must confess that as a seasoned traveler, I am an over packer and I am still learning new tricks for pairing down to a smaller, more manageable suitcase with every trip.
At some point in our travels, I was introduced to packing cubes and they were great for staying organized as we traveled on long trips, but the better option for over-packers like me is a compression packing cube.
Compression packing cubes have two sets of zippers and when open, it’s easy to pack. But once the zippers are closed, the contents are held in place and well, compressed. With my compression cubes, I have been able to fit nicely into a carry-on suitcase or even a book bag, depending on the trip.
Whether we are packing for a major trip or a quick weekend getaway, compression cubes help me to make the most of the space in my suitcase and they can be a perfect addition to your travel gear too. They are great gifts for any traveler you may need to shop for as well…one for them and one for you!
My go-to brand that I would recommend is Tripped Travel Gear and you can find them on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3NQvW97. Tripped Travel Gear compression cube sets include 7 cubes in various sizes including a dry bag and a bag for shoes. They are well made, have great zippers, and mine have lasted for several years now.

I must admit that I have 3 sets of Tripped Travel Gear compression cubes in several sizes and colors and I love to travel with them on any trip- long or short! This is a great investment if you travel often!
Grab a set for your next trip!
