I despise being disorganized on vacation. To the point where one of the first things I do when I check into a hotel is unpack my suitcase and sort my wardrobe. But since most hotel closets are typically hanging-room only, I end up leaving my clothes in a half-open suitcase on a luggage rack for the majority of the trip.
But I recently discovered portable hanging travel shelves, and they are now at the top of my list of travel essentials. These clever organizers are perfect for folding your clothes by outfit. And the shelves make me feel like I'm at home in my hotel room.
So, before you jetset off on your summer adventures, get yourself one of these portable travel shelves and leave your wardrobe worries behind.
