A TRAVEL expert has revealed a unique way to save suitcase space while on holiday.
Filling a suitcase before heading away on holiday leaves you with little room to bring back anything you find at your destination.
But Wendy Harch, from Travel at Sixty has revealed how she is able to take all the clothes she needs, while also leaving space in her suitcase for souvenirs.
In an article for Escape, she explained her "one-way clothes" method for making sure her luggage remains light.
She said: "I do ‘one-way clothes’ for underclothes and pyjamas in cold climates.
"For example old worn out t-shirts nearing end of life. This way as you wear them, you just leave them behind and your suitcase gets lighter and lighter."

Over-packing is a big error when preparing for a trip abroad, so only take exactly what you need and nothing more.
Marie recommends rolling thinner fabrics instead of folding them, as it will both reduce creases and wrinkles, while also helping to get them into a smaller package for your bag.
