Hi Andrei! It's always a struggle to pack your suitcase, right?! Especially when you have lots to bring. One tip I can share is, instead of buying a suitcase, just buy a box that is big enough to fit your stuff approximately 40lbs weight (like a small balikbayan box) from LBC or local shipping company. Boxes are cheap and they weigh less. And then you can just recycle them once you're done with them. Just Also buy a nice packing tape and rope to secure your box and a marker to write on your names and address on the box. I prefer this method now instead of suitcase. Suitcase can be very expensive and already heavy with nothing in it. Plus, they can also get damaged while in transit. Give this a try next time! 👍 Safe travels and God bless! We can't wait for your family to visit Philippines in October! Shoutout from Canada and Philippines! ❤😊
