The list
When you put the things you want to pack on paper, youâll easily notice if anything needs to be added or removed. Categorize your list for an even better overview.

The start
Getting everything ready on time is crucial for stress prevention. In fact, you should start creating your packing list about a month before your departure so you have enough time to edit it. Then, one week before the departure, start gathering the items and buy those you donât have. Finally, a day before you start off, simply set everything in your suitcase checking off item by item.
The suitcase
Perfect suitcase is not uniform. You may prefer soft cases or hard ones, huge or middle sized, itâs important that your suitcase fits your needs. If itâs also your favorite color, itâll be a real delight packing it up. However, a useful piece of advice is that you go for lighter ones due to airport taxes.
