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
