Roll, fold, scrunch or stuff? What’s your packing method?
I roll and I also use packing cubes – it’s amazing how much you can fit in them! I have 3 packing cubes of different sizes that fit perfectly into my carry on suitcase.
Carry on or checked bag?
Carry on all the way! I haven’t checked a bag in over 3 years and I’ve been away for up to 17 days at a time. I’m almost addicted to the challenge of it: can I fit it all in?! And I always do! I love landing and being able to roll off the plane and into the day instead of waiting for checked baggage.
