If you download your flight tickets to your phone, always print them off too as a back up in case you lose your phone, lose power or a technical hitch at the airport

Book flights for your destination, then contact a hotel directly and book the preferred price of a room. This way you avoid the holiday companies charging for flights and "per person" for room.

Roll your clothes rather than folding, easier to pack and less creases at the other end.

go somewhere difficult to get to and it won't be too busy! In the UK my suggestion would be south wales - beautiful countryside, reasonable prices and fantastic long sandy beaches

My hack is to search for the best flights first and not having a set destination in mind.

When going to a country with different plugs, take a multiple gang extension lead then you'll only need 1 adapter to plug it into to use all of your electrical stuff at the same time.

Writing a list of what to take... Put a tick next to it when you've packed the item. Take the list with you and cross the item off when you've packed it to come home.... You won't miss anything then!

Freeze most of your drinks. Then put in a cool bag with the non frozen ones and you have nice cool drinks all day.

First make sure you have passports and all paperwork necessary. But other than that, challenge yourself to pack only 30 minutes before leaving. Yes, you will forget things. However, you will also realise you don't need as many things. And then you'll know the joy of travelling light, saving money, time and stress on preparing that small luggage.

I like to roll my clothes before they go into the case. However, I wrap the first item (a thick one), around a deodorant tin. It stops creasing at the shoulders/bottom of the garment. Then I start layering the clothes around the same it gradually getting to the thinner items of clothing and the placing them into packing cubes. I use socks, underwear, straighteners for the same purpose. If you take care doing it, really works.
