Tourists debate: Clever luggage hack or risky gamble?
In one of the threads on Reddit, tourists shared their lesser-known travel hacks. One man revealed a clever way to gain more free space in his luggage while also collecting a practical souvenir from each trip. However, not everyone was fond of the idea.
Traveling often involves the dilemma of what to pack to avoid exceeding baggage limits. This issue is particularly pressing when we travel with only carry-on luggage. In such cases, every inch and ounce in our backpack or travel bag becomes important.
An interesting trick
One Reddit user shared an idea that helps save space in the suitcase, calling his method a "life-changer." "Instead of packing pajamas to sleep in and taking up space, I always buy a T-shirt at my destination that's useful during the trip and makes for a practical souvenir," the tourist wrote.
This idea gained appreciation among some Reddit users. "Very clever! Thanks for sharing," one person noted. "I plan to use this trick on my next trip," added another.
However, not everyone was convinced by this idea. One commenter pointed out that new clothes might irritate the skin due to the chemicals used in the production process. "I can't imagine wearing clothes without washing them first," the traveler wrote. Others also noted that good quality T-shirts can be particularly expensive in some places.
Original souvenirs
The forum also featured other interesting souvenir ideas. One user mentioned trying to get a tattoo in each place visited, which sparked much controversy among others. Another tourist revealed that he visits local bookstores to buy books and create a unique home library. Another person noted that they always buy souvenirs in stores where the profits go to charitable purposes or try to find markets and other venues where their purchase will help someone.
