We all make mistakes, especially during the first times and the good thing about it is that we learn from them. First-time backpackers commonly make mistakes regarding packing the things they need to bring. They usually pack more than what they need. Below are some of the packing mistakes which can be easily avoided.
Choosing a too large bag. The common notions is that you will be able to fit all you need if you chose a big one. Remember that whether you have a small or large backpack, you will always be able to fit what you need. Having a larger one will only tempt you to bring the unnecessary since you are seeing some more spaces to fit them in.
Packing too many dresses. This is more common in women. Sometimes they want to bring their entire closet with them. You do not have to pack your clothes based on the number of days you will be spending on your trip. Try to choose styles and colors that you can mix and match. You will also realize that you will not really be able to wear everything that you pack.
Taking too much medicine. If you are under certain medication, it is a must that you take sufficient supply to last during your entire trip. If you are not, then just pack some of the essentials on your first aid kit. You can easily find over the counter medicines wherever you go.
Not being able to pack what you really need. One of the most important things that you should consider when packing is the customs and the climate. You may tend to pack things that you cannot use. Research if there is any particular dress code allowed so that you will not offend the locals. Determine the climate so that you know whether to bring warm or cool clothes. Do not bring items which you can live without.
