And a set of six compression packing cubes to level up your packing efficiency game even more. Not only do they help you stay organized (it’s so much easier to find what you’re looking for when you know your shirts all in THIS cube and your socks are in THAT one), they also squish everything down with an additional zipper for maximum space-saving. Yes, packing light is recommended for hostel stays – but you can still get a little ~extra~ if you’ve got some of these on hand.
I’ve been traveling with this exact set for a number of years, and believe you me when I say they are life changing. The set includes one large cube, one medium cube, one small cube, one extra-small cube, a slim cube, and a shoe/laundry bag (it’s good for both – source: me; I have used it for both. Not at the same time, though! Pick one or the other and commit to the decision).
Promising review: “These made packing for two weeks in England in carry-on-only possible! These really helped organize and pack two weeks’ worth of clothing into a carry-on size suitcase. I did do laundry while traveling, but these helped to compact what I packed and keep it organized. I watched a few videos for tips and certain items are best rolled to avoid wrinkling and to fit into these packing cubes in a way that optimizes the compression feature. I definitely recommend. I purchased a few sets so I could use for myself and my kids. It made it so much easier to find things at our destination and keep them organized.” —EMUELLER
