Do you have any must-have items that you always take with you when traveling? Here’s a quick listing of some of the things I always pack/bring with me on a trip. Hopefully they can spark an idea or two for how to make your life a little less stressful while abroad.
Packing cubes- I discovered packing cubes a few years ago and they have been a game changer. They have completely changed my packing ways, by helping me stay much more organized and put together. They are zippered cube pouches that you can pack your clothing in and help them from randomly moving around in your luggage. One way it helps me stay organized is by putting different items in different cubes. For example: if I’m looking for shorts, I look in the cube that I put bottoms in.
Packable hamper- Previously, I just used a laundry bag to keep dirty clothes together, but now I like bringing a hamper with me. It helps keep my dirty clothes organized, so at the end of the trip, I can pack them back up in my packing cubes.
Lots of organization- Noticing a trend here? I’m not saying by any means that you need to purchase all of these things, but I just want to share some things that help me stay on some sort of a regimen while I’m on vacation. I use a hanging traveler bag to put all my toiletries in and a rectangle pouch for all my medicinal items.
On top of clearly staying organized, I do like to stay relaxed in the hustle and bustle of travel days and I use essential oils to help with that. Are there any other items you have on your must-pack list that I haven’t mentioned here?
