If there is one thing about taking a trip with me, I will overpack. But I will have what I need. More bathing suits than the days of the trip? Check. Backout outfits? Check. Attire for a rainstorm or blizzard? I'll have it. And of course an obnoxious amount of shoes. That being said I am pretty good at condensing it at least if I'm flying. But I'm always on the lookout for ways to get even more into my carry-ons. That's why I was so excited to find these TikTok packing hacks that SkyParkSecure recently released!

And it couldn't come at a better time. Every time I get on social media I see someone else complaining that their bags were lost on an airline. And frankly, that's not a risk I'm willing to take. So I have to fit however much I can into a carry-on and personal item. Plus, these packing hacks will make it easier to navigate what you packed when you arrive at your destination giving you more time to enjoy your well deserved vacation.

Experts at SkyParkSecure noticed that searches for ‘TikTok packing hacks’ have spiked by +175% over the last 12 months. Also the hashtag #packinghacks on TikTok has 130.4 million views. This prompted them to compile a list of the most popular TikTok packing hacks. Read on to see 5 of the best! Some I've used and other's I'll have to give a try this weekend on a road trip!

Packing Cubes

This is one I swear by, not only does it help consolidate it also helps keeps your stuff organized.

Pack Outfits Together

I was a camp counselor for years and when parents would do this it made it so easy. I worked with young kids and having a bag labeled with the day made it so easy for them to know what they should wear.

Use A Hanging Organizer

This one I've never seen, but I have to say I'm impressed and it makes it easy to unpack if living out of a suitcase on vacation isn't your thing!

Make A List

This is one way to help avoid overpacking that's for sure. I'm guilty of it, but it's also nice to have options!

Use Shower Caps For Your Shoes

Why by separate bags for your choose when you can be resourceful?
