It can be done because I did it. I packed for a client traveling around the world in three suitcases. I surprised myself but with a bit of planning and organization you may have room in your suitcase for souvenirs.

This is how I did it:

• Made sure she had the right size suitcases. Here are some suitcase options
• Researched the countries she was traveling to gage the temperature
• Removed all her favorite items from her closet and laid them on her couch and bed
• Created looks/outfits based on her favorite pieces
• Packed basic pants/leggings/bottoms in black (She’s a New Yorker, we can’t help the black in the wardrobe)
• Tank tops, blazers, and sweaters which are wrinkle resistant (lay shirts on top of each other and roll them. Will prevent wrinkles and save space)
• 3 pair of shoes
• couple of handbags (stuffed the handbags with socks, accessories)
• pack your valuables (jewelry, cameras etc.) on your carry on
• buy bath products during your travels

This is what it looked like during the packing:

   

Upon her arrival she unpacked and sent me this photo and message:
