Атрыманы адказы на пытанні аб упакоўцы неабходных рэчаў

Што самае карыснае для падарожжаў?

Нягледзячы на тое, што практычна немагчыма класіфікаваць прадметы ў парадку іх важнасці, таму што гэта залежыць ад мэты вашай паездкі, кантрольны спіс упакоўкі перад выхадам з дому і падчас падрыхтоўкі да вяртання дапамагае значна пераканацца, што вы нічога не забудзеце. .

"Самае карыснае для мяне - гэта план упакоўкі, які звычайна робіцца ў скрынцы, каб падзяліць дні і рэчы, неабходныя на кожны дзень", - кажа Беллес. «Калі я падарожнічаю па працы, гэта паездкі на тыдзень і больш, часам на больш працяглы час у розныя кліматычныя ўмовы. Ёсць дзённыя вобразы, якія маюць больш камерцыйны характар, і вячэрнія мерапрыемствы, якія могуць быць чым заўгодна, ад шыкоўных вячэр да кактэйляў і ўрачыстых мерапрыемстваў. Абсалютна неабходна мець план упакоўкі, каб я мог атрымаць тое, што мне трэба, не пакаваўшы занадта шмат».

Якія рэчы часцей за ўсё людзі забываюць браць у падарожжа?

«Пацешна, дробязі, якімі вы карыстаецеся кожны дзень, часта застаюцца без увагі: зубная шчотка/зубная паста, дэзадарант, ніжняе бялізну», — кажа Беллес. здарыцца».

Як палегчыць зборку рэчаў і падарожжа?

«Пакаваць рэчы не павінна быць складана, але гэта звычайна [для ўсіх] найменш любімая частка падарожжаў. Памятайце, што неабавязкова браць усё з сабой», — кажа Беллес. «Дазвольце сабе магчымасць адкрыць для сябе новыя рэчы, якія вы можаце паспрабаваць і палюбіць больш, чым вы разумееце. Тады, калі вы яшчэ не напоўнілі сумку рэшткамі ежы, у вас будзе месца, каб забраць прадукты дадому».

Некаторыя іншыя парады: пачніце збіраць рэчы як мінімум за два дні да паездкі, збірайце рэчы, захоўвайце на тэлефоне копіі важных дакументаў, такіх як пашпарт, і не забывайце пакідаць дадатковае месца ў чамадане. сувеніры

«Калі справа даходзіць да паляпшэння вашага агульнага вопыту падарожжаў, ёсць некалькі паслуг, у якія варта ўкласці грошы: зарэгіструйцеся ў Clear, каб палегчыць праходжанне бяспекі ў аэрапорце і забяспечыць інтэрв'ю Global Entry», — сказаў Беллес. Абодва зэканомяць ваш час і клопаты.
