3 Easy Ways to Travel Light and Easy

As I am packing today to go to NYC I would like to share some great tips for packing that I find very useful. As a bi-coastal traveller, or for anyone else traveling a lot, these tips are very helpful. 

1. Downsize. Less is more. Remember when packing that it is always easier with minimal items. When packing think about taking only the necessary items and outfits you will be wearing. Always remember you can wear something twice. It's also nice to have a little bit of room for souvenirs on your travels.

2. Plan more time for travel. I find myself rushing last minute before I travel. So instead I have decided to add 30 minutes to my preparations. An example is today I had a 4 o'clock flight out of LAX. I told myself 3:30 to allow for traffic and possible errors. Time is key and allowing extra can never hurt.

3.  Headphones. BRING THEM. It makes a world of a difference when traveling and is a great way to pass time. Especially in airport security, on the plan, train, bus, or even car. Don't forget your iPod or music/video device!

So fellow travelers! Take note of these easy steps.
