What to pack this summer: things you can't miss!

It may seem obvious, but the type and size of suitcase are important. If the trip you are going to take involves traveling by plane, a suitcase with wheels may be a better option as it is easier to transport. If you happen to be traveling by car, you can choose, for example, to pack things in backpacks or travel bags.

It's not worth putting everything you use in your day to day in your suitcase. Before starting to pack for the trip, it is important to think about these questions:

Duration: How many days will you spend at your destination?

Wathere: Are you going to a hot or cold place?

Activities: What kind of activities do you plan on doing?

By answering these questions it will be easier to understand what you really need to take and separate the clothes and choose the most suitable shoes.

The ideal is to know what clothes you are going to wear and to match the 'looks' with each other. Choose neutral colored pieces and try to make the sets you'll want to wear each day. If you don't know how much clothing you should take, follow the formula below: two top pieces for each bottom piece, that is, two t-shirts for a pair of pants.

Here the answer is simple: it's how to please you the most. There are those who prefer to make rolls of clothes and fit them together and, contrary to what you might think, clothes are not very wrinkled.

There are those who prefer to take their shoes separately, but it is also possible to put them in the suitcase around the clothes almost as if it were a barrier. Inside the shoes you can use the socks. The rest of the underwear can be placed using the space available on the sides of the bag or in the side bags.

Hygiene and make-up products can never be lacking, but they are easily forgotten as they are part of our daily routine and sometimes we don't even realize their importance. The quantity should be adjusted, once again, to the duration of the trip and you should choose to put them in bags or 'necessaires' with their own packaging to prevent them from leaking.

Hopefully you don't need them, but it's important to remember to pack some simple medications like patches, or a pack of headache pills.

Before traveling, don't forget to check that all documents are valid. If you encounter any problems, you will know that you can now solve these bureaucratic issues from home.

This category includes all the electronic equipment you intend to use. In addition to the 'smartphone', there are those who prefer to record their vacation with a camera. You might also want to take your computer or 'tablet' to watch your favorite series/movies or read a book in digital format.

All these equipments need their respective chargers and it is important that you inform yourself if you need some kind of adapter for your destination.

This tip is especially important if you are traveling by plane. Here should be all the necessary documents, some money, the most fragile or valuable items and you can even add a book and the 'phones'.

With the suitcase ready for the summer vacation and the certainty that nothing is forgotten, we can only wish you a great trip.
