How to pack light for your upcoming vacation!

Hey Friends!
Packing should never be stressful when preparing for a trip! As mentioned in my previous posts and during my podcast interview with Thick Smart Authentic, I prefer to travel with a backpack and carry on suitcase. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING... HOW ?? 

AND.... Yesssss it is possible and here is how! 
Traveling cubes are my savior for packing!!! You can buy them online or in your local Walmart’s, Marshalls or baggage store. I purchased Air Canada packing cubes at Walmart for 20$ CAD. 








Packing cubes will help you save A LOT of space when packing that way you DO NOT have to pack a check in luggage and wait around at the baggage carousel!

The packing cubes come in different sizes and numbers. I purchased the pack of 3; which are equipped with a small, medium and large cube.

To make life easier it’s helpful to plan clothes for every day of your trip! I always follow the weather to my destination that way I do not over pack. Also it is important to buy travel size containers for any liquids, makeup, etc.

The packing cubes are handy as you can roll your clothes or fold them. I prefer to roll my clothes that way I can add extra clothes if needed.

I use the large cube for clothes.
The medium cube for shoes.
And the small cube for undergarments, socks and toiletries. 

Once you pack all the cubes, you add them to your carryon luggage than any other items to
your backpack! 











I hope this is helpful to all of you !! 😃

Packing List

Hey Friends! As promised here is my "go to packing list" that I wanted to share with you all. Keep in mind that you may not always need everything on this list or things may be missing depending on your personal preferences. To stay ahead of the game, you can always check the weather of your destination as you may not need certain items depending on the location/season to where you are traveling!  A new item that I have been using are packing cubes which allows you to pack more in a small space. (I did mention this in my “Money Saving Tips” but just in case you missed it). Packing cubes can be found online on amazon, Walmart and Marshalls/Winners and - prices range from 17-40$ CAD. Another helpful packing tip would be to try your best to plan outfits that way you do NOT over pack. * PLEASE learn to roll your clothes and/or fold them very small. (Trust me, you live and learn LOL) Packing list: Outfit for the plane ride bac...

Welcome to Travel Niche Kish 💗

Hey Friends! Welcome to My Blog Travel Niche Kish ! I decided to start a blog to document my travel journey that began 8 years ago to share my memories and ideas with the world. Yes, I have traveled to places prior to 8 years ago, but traveling really became my passion after traveling for a girls trip to Cuba in 2011.  To date, I have had the opportunity to travel to 12 countries and 16 US States solo, with friends and/or with family. Every time my friends or family are planning a trip, they always ask me where they should go, what hotel/resort they should choose and what things can they do/see while on vacation. I must say, I am not an expert on all of the places I have traveled to but I definitely have learned  A LOT  in every place. I have always been encouraged by my friends and family to share my experiences, photos and ideas - therefore I have decided to create a blog doing just that :) In my blog, I will be sharing my past travel loca...

Road Trips 🚗

Hey Friends 💖 Since my blog is all about traveling, I wanted to talk about road tripping! “I been trippin, I'm trip trippin " ♫♫♫ When I was a kid, my parents would always take my brother and I on road trips to Québec City to visit our family. At the time, I lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia so that was 12 hours in the car! 😐  To be honest, I do not enjoy driving long hours anymore but I must admit road trips can be fun and an adventure when you are traveling with people! I have taken numerous road trips from Toronto, such as to Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Ottawa, Québec, Montreal, Blue Mountain, Nova Scotia, Virginia and Florida! If you are not in a hurry to get to your destination, I would say stop somewhere on your way and check out a new town/city! Keep in mind that a road trip DOES NOT have to be somewhere far and you can always go on a day trip.  If you do choose to go somewhere for more than 24 hours, I would recommend that you explore events and/or things to d...
