    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.

    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.

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

    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.
