Going on vacation is fun, just packing your suitcase a little less. Unfortunately, it has to happen anyway unless you want to walk around in the same clothes for the entire trip. Girls in particular often have a little too much stuff with them when they go on holiday. As a result, they often find a lot of stuff when they unpack their suitcase that has not been used. Recognizable? You’re not the only one!
These are typical things that you always stuff in your suitcase, but you might as well have left it at home
So pack your suitcase more strategically next time!
1. Clothes that don’t go with anything
When you are on vacation, it is of course the time to wear your most beautiful items. That striking top that has been molding away in your closet for ages, that bikini that is actually too small but you couldn’t pass up on sale or those jeans with those crazy trouser legs. Unfortunately, your New Year’s resolutions are short-lived and you still leave them in your suitcase. Then leave them at home or sell them. You can immediately save for a new trip.
2. Clothes that are too warm or too cold
In the Netherlands we are often used to rain, cold and gray clouds, but not at your holiday destination. Yet it is difficult, when you are packing your suitcase in your cold room, to think that in Aruba the chance is small that you are chattering teeth. So don’t stuff five sweaters in your suitcase. One is probably enough for you.
It is also possible that you think a little too positively and pack ten crop tops. Unfortunately, it is almost as cold in Sweden as in the Netherlands, so you probably won’t use it. Shame.
3. Too much electronics
Your phone and charger are essentails. But are your laptop, IPad, extra chargers, a camera with three different lenses and 60 extra batteries also so indispensable? Chances are you might use this for a very short time or not at all. It is also good to take a little distance from that when on holiday. Saves space again.

4. Too many accessories
In addition to all the dresses, skirts, tops and pants that you have pressed into your suitcase with all your strength, you also want accessories. Necklace to go with that one dress, a hat for the sun, five sunglasses in different colors, and maybe an extra phone case. Even the small items will fill your suitcase faster. Think carefully about whether you are really going to wear it. If necessary, you already put on a number of chains on the outward journey.
5. Too much skincare and makeup
It’s important on vacation to to take good care of yourself. That is why it is certainly not forbidden to have enough of these goodies to bring along. Sunscreen, make-up, make-up remover, body lotion. However, you always err on the side of caution and put unnecessary extras in your suitcase. Be extremely selective about this. You don’t need seven different types of deodorant and you don’t need fifteen razors either.
The conclusion is to pack your suitcase efficiently and stuff met mate to bring along. This prevents an overflowing suitcase and leaves room for souvenirs. Yay!
