Take advantage of your shoes
If you want more space to pack other things, well, another great idea is to put small things, such as socks or jewelry in your shoes. This technique not only helps you keep them safe throughout the trip, but you will also have more space for other outfits that you wanted or accessories. However, you can opt for Ziploc or plastic grocery bags to prevent dirt or germs.
“I love to stuff small items like jewelry, underwear, or socks in my shoes. This saves a lot of space,” says Gillespie.
