Traveling light: how to pack your bag for a week in the sun?

Traveling light while still carrying the essentials is an art form! Whether you're heading off for a week to Bali, the Canary Islands, Thailand, or even Mexico, the important thing is to optimize your bag to avoid forgetting items and bulky luggage.

With a Baggells bag , you already have the advantage of a modular and compact bag, perfect for a trip of a week or more, without any hassle. But how do you prepare it properly to maximize its potential? Here is the ultimate guide to organizing your bag efficiently and stress-free!

1. Choose the right clothes: lightweight, versatile and breathable

  • 3 to 4 light t-shirts
  • 2 shorts or skirts
  • 1 pair of light trousers (linen, cotton, etc.) for cooler evenings
  • 1/2 dress(es) or dress shirt(s) for an outing
  • 1 swimsuit (or 2 if you spend a lot of time at the beach)
  • 1 light jacket or kimono for the evening
  • 5 to 7 pairs of underwear and socks
  • 1 pair of sandals and 1 pair of sneakers

💡 Baggells Tip : Use compression bags to maximize space and prevent your clothes from wrinkling. Plus, it makes it easier to stay organized and quickly access what you need!

Please note that in most countries you visit, it will still be possible to wash your clothes in laundromats.

2. Organize your bag efficiently

Optimizing space is essential, especially if you are traveling with only cabin baggage.

Recommended storage method :

  • Lay your clothes flat to save space.
  • Place heavier objects close to your back for better balance.
  • Use the different storage spaces to separate your clothes, accessories and electronic equipment.

The Baggells bag offers several clever compartments, perfect for storing essentials without getting everything mixed up. Its design allows for quick access to items without having to take everything out.

3. Don't neglect the toiletry bag

Toiletries take up space quickly, especially with liquid restrictions on airplanes.

💡 Minimalist tip: choose solid formats!

  • Solid soap and shampoo
  • Stick deodorant
  • Small size moisturizer
  • Foldable toothbrush
  • Small-format sun protection
  • Small size toothpaste

💡 Little extra from Baggells : the bag includes a hanging toiletry bag , practical for having everything at hand without cluttering up the bathroom!

4. Essential accessories for the sun

In addition to clothes and a toiletry bag, here are the essentials not to forget:

  • Sunglasses
  • Cap or hat
  • Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in any situation
  • Lightweight and compact microfiber travel towel
  • Small padlock to secure your backpack
  • Charger and external battery to avoid phone failures

If you plan to explore paradisiacal beaches, don't forget a small waterproof bag to protect your belongings from sand and water.

5. Adapt your bag to the mode of transport

By plane: If you're taking a low-cost flight, check the dimensions of your cabin baggage carefully. With its innovative design and side compression straps, the Baggells backpack is designed to meet all airline standards. Remember not to overload it to avoid unpleasant surprises during boarding.

On a road trip: If you're traveling by car or scooter, choose a well-balanced, easy-to-carry bag. With its comfortable carrying system, the Baggells allows you to move around without restriction.

Excursions and walks: For days of exploration, it can be useful to have a small foldable bag in addition to your main bag. This allows you to carry the essentials without having to carry everything.

6. Minimalism and mindset: Traveling light means traveling better

Traveling with just one bag offers immense freedom: less clutter, less stress, more mobility. Adopting this minimalist approach will allow you to focus on the experience rather than the objects .

Golden rule: If you hesitate to bring something, it's because you don't need it.

💡 Baggells reminder: thanks to its optimized design, you can carry the essentials without ever feeling limited. Its carrying comfort , smart compartments and modularity make it the ideal companion for a week in the sun.

Conclusion: Your bag is ready? Now all that's left is to go!

Packing for a week in the sun doesn't have to be a hassle. With the right clothes , effective organization , and a minimalist mindset , you're sure to travel light while still having everything you need .
