I want to share my 5 must-have travel items when packing for my adventures. I hope these can provide you some inspiration for your next trip!
I refuse to pack for a trip without packing cubes! They are a game-changer when trying to pack for a longer trip and maximizing space in your suitcases. I pack my shirts, pants, and underwear in their own cubes so it also keeps those items separated and easy to find in-destination. Another method could be rolling outfits together and putting them in cubes based on days or activities.
My second ride-or-die item is a trusty refillable water bottle. Depending on the type of trip, determines my bottle of choice. Roadtrips usually means packing my Stanley avoid my drinks getting warm and make them easy to access on the road with the straw. If I'm flying, I go for a screw top to avoid spills and the dreaded explosion from pressure on the plane.
I'm a big believer in packing 2 different tennis shoes if you plan on walking long days. That allows your feet to avoid rubbing on the same spots or blisters two days in a row. If you have the space, this trick gives you a new comfortable shoe to alternate on long walking days.
One thing that can never be overlooked is snacks! Whether you find them before or in-destination, snacks are a must have when traveling. Snacks save you when you are busy on tours or roadtrips and might not have a meal available nearby or if you have hours to wait until the designated time. Luckily, snacks can come in many forms, sweet, salty or both!
My final must-have item is the "Trip Plans" App. This app keeps my travel itinerary organized and all my details in one spot. Whether it's my flight times, tour details, hotel confirmations or my next address for my roadtrip, it's the perfect tool for any adventure.
If you would enjoy having all your travel details in one spot and these must-haves have inspired you to book your next trip, send me a message and let's get your planning started!
