Episode 8: 'Best and Worst'

- What's your best packing tips and tricks for a trip around the world?

My top 5 would be:

- Leave extra space in your bag for two reasons: you will buy stuff, it's easier to pack a bag again and again with extra space.

- Buy small containers at for instance Muji (Åhlens) or Granit for shampoo, hair products, alco-gel etc.

- Spread everything evenly and pack flat. You fit much more in a bag if you only fold your clothes once and spread socks and underwear all over to fill little gaps. It looks horrible, but it works.

- I've got two Samsonite hardcase suitcases from MrJet - it was PERFECT! I used the cabin size for camera gear and electronic equipment and the large one for clothes and shoes. Since I didn't do a normal back backer trip it was the ultimate packing on wheels.

- Have a warm sweater, soft knee-high socks and a large scarf handy for the flights. It's air-con and cold and easy to forget when it's 35 degrees outside.
