Pack Smarter, Not Harder

Packing can be one of the most stressful parts of planning a trip. To make it easier, we’ve created a comprehensive packing list you can adapt for any destination, from a beach getaway to a city break.

Essential Clothing
 

  • Lightweight Layers: T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and a versatile sweater or fleece.
     
  • Bottoms: A mix of jeans, trousers, or shorts depending on the climate.
  • Underwear & Socks: Pack one pair for each day, plus an extra.
  • Sleepwear: Something comfortable for the night.
  • Outerwear: A rain jacket or windbreaker is always a good idea.
  • Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes, and one other pair (sandals or dress shoes).
     

Toiletries (Travel-Sized)

  • Toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner.
  • Soap or body wash and deodorant.
  • Sunscreen and insect repellent.
  • A basic first-aid kit (plasters, pain relievers, antiseptic wipes).
  • Any personal medications with a copy of your prescription.

Electronics & Gadgets

  • Smartphone and charger.
     
  • Portable Power Bank: A lifesaver for long days of exploring.
  • Universal Travel Adapter: Essential for international travel.
     
  • Headphones and camera with extra batteries.

Important Documents & Money

  • Passport and any necessary visas.
  • Driver’s license or other photo ID.
  • Credit cards and some local currency.
  • Digital and physical copies of all important documents.
  • Travel insurance information.
     

Pro Tip: Always keep a change of clothes, all medications, and your valuables (like electronics) in your carry-on bag, not your checked luggage.
