Packing Lists: Travel Light, Smart, and Stress-Free
Whether you’re heading off on a weekend getaway or a multi-country adventure, packing smart can make or break your trip. I love creating packing lists that help you stay prepared, save money, and feel confident from takeoff to touchdown.
Before each trip, I do a deep dive into:
-
The weather (day and night)
-
Prices of everyday items in the country I’m visiting
-
Outfit planning that fits the setting, using mostly what I already own
When you’re traveling on a budget or hopping from place to place, packing an entire wardrobe isn’t realistic. That’s why my packing lists focus on versatility, essentials, and ease, not buying tons of new things.
What You’ll Find in This Category:
-
Specific Packing Lists: for destinations I’ve personally visited
-
Universal Travel Packing Guides: for all types of trips
-
Packing Tips: how to stay organized, save space, and pack lighter

Tried-and-True Product Recommendations: that simplify travel
What You Won’t Find:
You won’t find “buy this outfit” fashion guides. I believe in reusing what’s already in your closet to keep travel affordable and sustainable.
That said, I’ll occasionally recommend gear that’s worth the investment, especially if it’ll serve you for years of future travel.
Pro Tip: Start with a packing list, then customize it based on your travel style and destination. Everyone’s trip is different!
