If you’ve ever stared in disbelief at your friends who claim that they only travel with a carry-on, prepare to learn their secret: bundling! It’s the hottest new packing trend since the travel world discovered the benefits of rolling. But why should you bundle instead of roll? Advocates claim that bundling solves the wrinkle problem that rolling poses — without sacrificing precious suitcase space. On the other hand, critics say that bundling reduces the ease of sifting quickly through your pack for an outfit. Our advice: bundle if you’re staying at your destination for awhile — and if that destination has a place for you to store your clothes upon arrival. If you’re staying in a hostel and country hopping every couple of days, you might want to opt to roll.
