Travel / Packing Tips

There are a lot of things to keep in mind when you travel anywhere but here are some helpful tips to get you on the right track.

Pack light; even if you’re only going for a short while, there won’t always be an elevator wherever you go so only take what you can carry.

Don’t worry about dirty clothes you can always wash them while you’re on the trip.

The most common things you’ll need are;

(always be mindful of the culture when deciding this)

PJs

Bathing Suit(s)

Walking Shoes

Flip Flops

Scarf (trust me on this)

Sunscreen(helps with wind burn as well)

Lightweight clothes that can be layered

T-shirts

Socks

Pants/ Shorts

Underwear

Sunglasses

Dresses or skirts

Hat/ sun visor

Cellphone and Charger

Outlet Converter/Travel Adapter

Toiletry Bag

Hand sanitizer/Hand Wipes

Water bottle (Make sure it’s empty before security)

OPTIONAL

Headphones

Chapstick

Guidebook

Travel Pillow

Eye Mask

Take MANY PICTURES! I cannot stress this enough, no matter where I’ve travelled, I always come back saying I should’ve taken more. Especially pictures with friends or just a picture of you somewhere touristy is always fun.
DO NOT FORGET IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS it’s really important you know where your passport, health insurance, travel insurance are. Keep them somewhere safe.
Cough Drops/Lozenges *very helpful*
Pre-Plan outfits. It’s always nice to have an idea of what and where you’re going to wear.
ALWAYS check the weather before you go
