Pulse.com.gh brings you ways to pack light for your Christmas vacation.

1. Reducethenumber of bags

You could be made simple by opting for a capacious luggage. The more bags you take with you on your trip, the heavier your travel load will feel. If you’re only going away for a few days, try to fit everything you’re bringing into one suitcase or one backpack. If your trip is longer, limit yourself to two bags.

2. Take what you will need not what you want

Traveling with all of your wants will mean coming with your entire wardrobe . What you will need is the most pertinent. Things like took brush, body cream, bath towel, a jeans, possibly four tops and an all rounded foot wear could be just perfect for your Christmas vacation.

3.StayNeutral

The smart way of packing light is selecting neutral shades. If you’re traveling on business, bring along shirts, pants and blazers that complement each other in whites, blacks and browns. If basics aren’t really your style, pick an eye-catching color like red and work around it. Another tip: If you’re traveling for work, bring along a crisp, white-collared shirt. You’ll find it’s easy to mix and match pieces on the road. Plus, you’ll allow yourself extra room for packing casual clothing and heavier items like shoes.
