4 life hacks for vacation: how to save space in your suitcase and hide things in plain sight

Perhaps many will agree that travel is a separate line in the life of every person. The pleasure received from relaxation cannot be compared with anything. However, any tourism can bring not only pleasant emotions, but also minor inconveniences. This is especially true for those situations when you constantly need to think about where to hide money, what to carry shower gel and shampoo in (when the hotel does not offer them), how to pack all your things if they do not fit into a suitcase.

We will tell you several life hacks that make life much easier when traveling, and all of them can be solved with improvised means.

Unusual wallet

Most of us are already accustomed to keeping our savings on a card or linking them to mobile banks. But what to do if you need cash while traveling, because not all countries have a cashless system. It’s clear that a couple of extra bills won’t hurt at all. However, the money should still be hidden so that it does not attract unnecessary attention from thieves. In general, there are a lot of options on how to save your cash, but the most interesting way is to use a regular hair comb. In fact, it is very difficult to guess that banknotes are hidden there.

There are a few more clever ways to hide your stash. For example, into an unnecessary charger. But in this case, even before leaving, you will have to carefully trim it.

Well, or on a baseboard in a hotel.

And if you are traveling with a friend or wife, then there is a simpler option...

Containers for care products

If we talk about short trips, then in such cases you want to limit yourself to hand luggage and not carry a suitcase. But what if on a business trip you also need to take a shower and wash your hair, but you really don’t want to take whole bottles with you, so as not to take up space in your bag? Everything is as simple as shelling pears. Now in many household chemical stores you can find a mini version of all care products - travel kits that will not take up much space in your luggage. Pour your gel and shampoo there. And when you go home, you can throw them away altogether. But it’s better to take them with you - they may still be useful.

By the way, if you are traveling for one day, you can generally pour the shower products into a 10 ml syringe.

Safe on the beach

Surely many of us are familiar with the situation when on vacation we really want to go for a dip in cool water, but there is no one to leave our things with. But here is a phone, a wallet, cards, room keys, and many other important things. Here's what to do? It’s simple - leave them in the most visible place. True, you will have to disguise it a little. For example, put it in an empty package of baby wipes. Or wrap it in a diaper. Well, who will guess to reveal it?

Packing your suitcase

If you want to take a lot of clothes, including branded items, and there is less and less space in your suitcase, then try sacrificing ironed clothes and roll them up. By the way, it won’t wrinkle much either.

And small items can be stuffed into shoes, which, of course, need to be packed in bags so that they don’t stain anything around them.
