Unpacking vs Keeping it all in Your Suitcase!

Unpacking vs Keeping it all in Your Suitcase!

Are you someone who immediately unpacks and organises your clothes as soon as you check into your hotel room? Or do you prefer to leave everything in your suitcase, ready to grab and go? There's no right or wrong way to travel, but we all know the dilemma of "unpacking vs. keeping it all in your suitcase." In this post, we're diving into the pros and cons of each packing style—so you can decide which one suits your travel personality!

The Unpacker: Full Hotel Room Zen

  • The Pro: Unpacking gives your room that homey feel. You can hang up your clothes, store your shoes, and feel settled in. Plus, your clothes won’t get wrinkled when they’re neatly organised!
  • The Con: Unpacking can feel like a chore—especially if you’re staying in multiple hotels or locations. Suddenly, you’re spending precious vacation time organising when you could be out exploring.

The Keep-It-All-In-Your-Suitcase Traveller: Ready to Go at a Moment’s Notice

  • The Pro: For those who like to keep things easy and breezy, keeping it all in your suitcase means you’re always ready to dash out and explore without the hassle of organising. No need to spend time unpacking when you can grab exactly what you need straight from the suitcase.
  • The Con: Your suitcase can get messy quickly, and you’ll need to deal with wrinkled clothes if you don’t roll them properly. Plus, digging through a suitcase for that one shirt can sometimes turn into an endless scavenger hunt.

When You’re In Between: The Best of Both Worlds

Some people don’t fit neatly into one category. Maybe you unpack the essentials (like your toiletries and pyjamas) but leave your clothes in your suitcase for the duration of the trip. If you fall in between, that’s totally okay! 

Whether you’re a meticulous unpacker or prefer to keep your suitcase packed and ready for anything, the key is making your travel experience as stress-free as possible. Embrace your travel style, and remember, the best packing system is the one that works for you. After all, it’s about enjoying the journey!
