Packing wrongly can range from disastrous – e.g. you’re halfway to the airport without your passport, to inconvenient e.g. you forgot your sunglasses – either way you won’t be happy and most of these situations are easily preventable with a little preparation! I’ve created my ultimate packing list below, to help you pack well every time for any trip – from what to have in your hand luggage, to what clothes to take, I’ve got you covered for every eventuality! I’ve even linked where you can order them (Amazon Prime’s, next day delivery saves my life on a regular basis!)…
See my ultimate packing list below, I’ve split this into four sections; Clothes, Accessories, Toiletries and Hand Luggage – Granted you’re probably not going to need everything in each list, but this is the only checklist you’ll ever need – I hope this helps you pack well every time for any trip – happy, safe travels!
