Expert Answer

Most likely not. When I left for a 3-month sabbatical, I wore a lightweight pair of walking shoes, and I also brought a pair of hiking shoes. I ended up not wearing the hiking shoes at all, so I could have probably stuck to the one pair of shoes. I just picked something in a neutral color that I knew would go with all of my clothes.

How do I roll shorts?

Community Answer

You can roll shorts similar to rolling pants, but it is easier and takes up less room in your suitcase or bag.

How can I pack my clothes for separate days in a compact manner?

Community Answer

Place your outfits for each day in a Ziploc or fabric bag. This way they are compact and airtight, and it makes getting out the door in the morning easier.

Question

What if it is one night?

Henry Gates

Community Answer

You can still use the folding technique. Just use a smaller case for it, so you don't have to bring a big bag.

Question

How do I roll socks?

Community Answer

Place the ends of the two socks together, and shift one down slightly so one sock is higher. Then, while keeping the socks together, open the top of the higher sock and roll it down over the rest of the two socks so that the socks are rolled into a ball.
