How do you usually get ready and pack before a trip?

B Natural answer

Before a trip, I try to pack the night before because it saves me stress in the morning. I lay everything on the bed, choose simple clothes, and keep my passport and tickets together. I also leave a little space in my suitcase for souvenirs, and I check my essentials one last time before I go.
