How to Pack for an International Trip

Hey TPOL Squad!

Greetings from across the pond! 🇬🇧

I’m currently living my best life exploring the charming streets of England!

This trip marks my first adventure outside of the US & Mexico, & my goodness, let me tell you, it’s been an absolute dream come true! From savoring traditional English tea, to wandering through historic landmarks, every moment feels like a page out of a fairytale. Stay tuned for upcoming posts where I’ll spill all the deets about my unforgettable experiences.

For now, let’s talk about packing.

If you’re anything like me, packing will have you feeling beyond overwhelmed & just all the way over it. But, don’t worry, I’ve got your back.

Let’s dive into some packing tips that’ll make preparing for your trip as exciting as the journey itself. Trust me, with a little planning & a dash of savvy, you’ll be packing like a pro in no time.

So, here’s the scoop – I dove deep into the world of packing because, you know, it’s practically a science, right? I made sure to strike that perfect balance, avoiding both the dreaded overpacking & the ‘uh-oh, I forgot that!’ moment for my time here. Gotta say, nailing that packing game feels like a mini victory in itself!

Okay, let’s get into the essentials! International travel is all about that minimalist vibe – trust me, lugging around a heavy suitcase is a major buzzkill. So, start with the absolute must-haves: your passport, travel docs, & a versatile wardrobe that’s all about mix & match. We’re talking layers. A few key pieces can create endless looks, ready for any adventure that comes your way. & shoes? Keep it simple with two or three pairs that are comfy & stylish. ‘Cause those cobblestone streets abroad? Oh, they’re charming alright, but they’re tough on the feet, no doubt about it!

Now, onto the tech & toiletries – because even in the most exotic locations, we want to stay connected & feeling fresh. A universal travel adapter is your new best friend. With it, you’ll be able to charge your gadgets anywhere in the world. & when it comes to toiletries, think travel-sized perfection. Not only does it save space in your luggage, but it’s also a great excuse to indulge in some local finds along the way. Oh, & don’t forget to pack a journal or sketchbook. There’s something truly magical about jotting down your adventures or capturing the beauty of the world around you in sketches. It’s the little moments like these that make traveling the world unforgettable.

Packing for an international trip doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

It’s all about being savvy with your choices & leaving a bit of space for those unexpected treasures you’ll stumble upon.

So, take a moment, breathe it all in, & start packing for the adventure of a lifetime.

Remember, the world is out there waiting to greet you with open arms, just as much as you’re eager to explore it.

Here’s to happy travels & unforgettable experiences!
