The Ultimate Packing List for Your Next Adventure

No matter where you’re going on your next trip, whether it’s a bucket list adventure or a work trip, the actual act of packing can seem daunting. In this guide, we’ll cover the steps you can take to pack successfully for your upcoming travels, along with some tips to help you travel smarter!

First, you’ll need to create a checklist for your trip. For this list, you should consider how many days and nights you’ll be away. Your list should reflect the outfits you’ll need for each day, including what you’ll wear to bed. Consider clothing that can be mixed and matched so that you can make several outfits with just a few pieces. This will help you save space and travel lighter.

Then, consider which hygiene and beauty products you’ll need to pack, such


as your toothbrush, toothpaste, and hair styling products. Consider bringing a few first aid items such as band-aids, alcohol wipes, gauze, etc., and be sure to bring your nail clippers, tweezers, and other items you use every single day. You’ll also want to include must-haves such as your devices and chargers. When it comes to items such as soap and hair dryers, check with your accommodation provider, such as a hotel or resort, to see what’s available. If you don’t need to carry it, it’s best to leave it behind. Another tip for saving space is to consolidate your liquids, such as shampoo, into travel-size containers. Go over your list and make sure you’ve got everything on it that you’ll need before moving on to choosing your luggage!

When it comes to choosing luggage, you’ll need to make sure you have a suitcase or bag that aligns with the policies of any transit you’ll be taking. If you’re bringing a carry-on, be sure that you’re familiar with what can and cannot be in your bag. Typically, you’ll want to bring important items such as medications and travel documents in your carry-on in the event your luggage is lost or delayed. If you need to bring specialized gear, such as a wheelchair, walker, or baby stroller, make sure to check the policies of your method of transit.

As you are preparing to travel, remember to take the necessary steps to stay healthy. Bring hand sanitizer and sanitizer wipes and use them on high-traffic touch points to help keep yourself safe from germs!

We hope this guide helps you prepare for your upcoming trip. Packing lightly and taking steps to ensure you’re packing the right things will help make your trip a fun and memorable one!

Image
Autumn is quietly the travel world’s best-kept secret: a season where scenery brightens, schedules quiet down, and your travel dollar stretches farther. Below I’ll walk through the sound reasons—backed by industry and government data—why fall (roughly September through November in the U.S.) routinely outperforms summer and high-holiday travel for value, comfort, and experience. Why it's better . . .  Traveling in fall tends to give you lower crowds , better prices , and more comfortable weather —plus a bundle of quality-of-experience bonuses (easier reservations, seasonal events, better wildlife and photo conditions). These aren’t just wishful thinking; they’re shoulder-season patterns documented by travel-data firms, tourism authorities, and climate records.[1][2][3] 1) Lower crowds = better experiences Downtown Chicago Summer and major holiday windows concentrate demand into predictable peaks. In fall, many families and students are back to school and business travel dips; t...
