I just came back from two trips, and people always ask me how I manage to pack so lightly. Weeeellllllll.........as an avid traveler, here are some tips for everyone to know, when packing your bags.
1. Roll your clothes <---fold them and then roll them from top to bottom
2. Bring neutral clothing, so you can mix and match.
3. Check the weather before you go anywhere... sweaters take way too much space
4. Bring at the most 2 pairs of shoes, --> flips flops don't count ~~ they are a necessity!
5. Use the toiletries in the hotel....they are free, why not use them!
6. Pack your socks and underwear in your shoes... you'll be surprise how my cpace you'll save
7. Always pack your toothbrush in your carry-on.. no one likes to help a person stranded in
airport with bad breath!
8. Always carry one day's worth of travel in your carry-on.
9. Bring ziplock bags.. you never know when you will need them.
10. If you really going to go on vacation... don't buy stuff for your trip.. buy them on your vacation. Try to condense everything you essentially need in one small carry-on luggage and them put it into a larger luggage bag. When you buy stuff, you can have the extra space with the big luggage and then bring your carry-on on the plane.... SMART!!! I know!!!!
Check me out for more tips on how to travel!!!

Take advantage of the EURO
With all the press the European Union has been receiving since April and the prolonged strikes that have occurred in the past months, one must note that the depreciation of the Euro is in favor of many non-euro holders.
In connection to the World foreign exchanges, all else equal, a depreciation of a country's currency makes goods cheaper for foreigners, thus as the Euro depreciates in value relative to the U.S. Dollar (USD), the U.S. Dollar must appreciate relative to the Euro. Therefore, those carrying USD will feel relatively richer when making any purchases within the European Union.
Moral of the Story:

Moral of the Story:
Travel to Europe and take advantage of the depreciated Euro. The cycling of monetary funds from tourism can help stimulate the depressed Euro. Help yourself and help them!
