How to Travel Light When Traveling With Kids

This is very tricky. Traveling light with kids can be a real challenge because there are just too many to bring, just in case. But can we actually travel light even with kids in tow? It can be daunting to be traveling with kids but probably if we lessen our loads, we might enjoy our travels.

Here's my tips on how to travel light even with kids around:

1. Know where you're going. The things you need will reflect so much on where you're heading to. If you're going to a place where the climate is cool, you need to bring extra coats/jackets/windbreakers. But if you're traveling to a tropical place with (of course) beach, you need to include swimming attires.

2. List down the things you want to do. Even if you have never gone to the place you're going to, you can easily plan your trip. Just google on the things you can do, what the place is famous for and places to go and visit.

3. By doing number 2, you can then list down what to wear where.

4. Pack light by just bringing enough clothes. If you think it better to pack extra just in case, keep it to a minimum.

5. By knowing which hotel you're going to stay, you would know if you need to bring extra towels. Some budget places are too budget you need to bring your own towels.

6. Pack your toiletries in travel sizes. Don't bring huge bottles of shampoos, conditioners, bath soaps, etc. It would take a lot of space and weight.

7. Well, bear in mind that can always shop for the things that you need. You will have an excuse to go shopping! That's the best part of traveling light.

8. Enjoy your trip with your family.
