I get so excited about traveling, sometimes I (or we) book tickets a month in advance for a better price (or maybe that’s just me!). Then, it’s three full weeks of outfit planning, plus getting picture-ready with eyelash extensions, and a fresh gel mani-pedi. You know how it is! I even give myself an at-home hair touch-up – just because!
Now, for the real travel essentials. I always pack basic meds: headache, stomachache, fever medicine, mosquito patches, and (this is what getting older looks like) liniment oil!
Skincare is another must. I’m obsessed with moisturizers, so I have hand lotion, lip balm, and sunblock. Thank you, YouTube, for all the great product recommendations! Plus, I throw in hand sanitizer, wet wipes, and band-aids.
Okay, I admit, I’m not the lightest traveler. That twenty-kilogram checked bag is my standard! But hey, it’s better to have what you need than wish you did.
Sometimes, peace of mind is worth the extra luggage fees! For me, knowing I have the essentials (and maybe a few extra comforts) makes the trip so much smoother. A spare outfit in your carry-on can save the day if luggage gets delayed, and that extra comfy pillow makes all the difference on a long flight. Remember, it’s about finding the packing style that leaves you feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy your adventure!
Now tell me, what are your travel must-haves? Maybe I’m missing something amazing!
