Hairbrush, mouth wash – in travel size bottle, and this natural makeup remover cloth that needs no chemicals just water!
Electronics
Only if this is going to be near you at all times. Pack your laptop, extra chargers, and miscellaneous things.
EXTRA Copies of Travel Documents
Rather be safe than sorry?! I would!
You don’t need 5 shades of lipstick on a flight so carry your basic makeup essentials. For me it’s my moisturizer – to give my skin a quick “pick me up”, eye cream – for my tired eyes to look “fresh”, foundation, foundation sponge, eyebrow makeup, mascara, and one lip balm/stick.
Deodorant/Face Wipes
These are a good way to feel fresh, especially during long flights.
Toothpaste and Toothbrush
Just like the wipes, brushing your teeth is so refreshing. Hog the bathroom for a bit and freshen up. It makes all the difference.
Feminine Products
Don’t get weird here, I’m just being real with ya’ll. Long travel days usually means no shower. So, I always pack a few panty liners and change throughout my trip. And it never hurts to pack a spare pair of undies!
Comfort
Sleep mask, and travel pillow. These are crucial to me for my sanity on these long flights!
Medication
It’s not fun when you’re on a 15 hour flight with a beating headache or an upset stomach so be sure to triple check your essential meds. I usually bring a small pill case for general ailments like headaches, nausea, and allergies.
Electronics
Tablet for reading, charger for phone & tablet, noise cancelling headphones, camera and extra batteries/SD card for camera.
Travel Documents
Lastly. don’t forget your travel docs, guys! Remember to make copies of everything for your sanity and safety. Passport – copies of that, copies of drivers license/ID, copies of birth certificate, travel insurance – copies of that too! You can NEVER be too safe guys, especially when you’re going to a different country than you’re used to! Also, when carrying all of this I highly suggest you carry it in a protected RFID bag for added security. No, I’m not paranoid of thieves… 😐
Check out next weeks post on “How To Travel Light!” where I’ll show you how to pack a carry on suitcase (backpack) for a trip with extensive organization! 😄
I love this so much!!
Thank you! If this check list can help me be more organized I'm sure it can help others 🙂
I made the mistake of forgetting my toothbrush & toothpaste in my personal bag on my way to Paris & it was terrible. Never again!! :]
