What I'm Packing in My Travel Bag

Long plane rides. We love them and we hate them. They take us to magical far away destinations and yet leave us with stiff joints and dry skin. How do we combat these travel side effects? By packing awesome travel essentials, of course! My travel list will vary slightly, but these items always make it into my bag!

  1. Chapstick (duh)

  2. Portable Phone Charger (ESSENTIAL. Keeps you from fighting for a plug at the airport before boarding your flight)

  3. Wireless headphones (for all my music and podcast listening. I always manage to tangle myself up with normal headphones…)

  4. SOCKS (I made the mistake of wearing flats and not packing socks on my last international flight. MISTAKE. I will never again hop on a long flight without socks).

  5. Hand Lotion (Fredericksburg Farms makes an awesome little travel size - perfect for trips) and face moisturizer (again, dry skin)

  6. Trtl Pillow (fingers crossed this travel pillow works like a dream! I’ll plan to do a full review on this pillow after my trip)

  7. Snacks (this item should be higher than #7 - I can’t go anywhere without snacks. I typically avoid loud foods - I’d rather stay on favorable terms with my neighbors)

  8. Personalized Passport Holder (I love mine from Mark & Graham)

  9. A GOOD BOOK (I’m packing THIS BOOK in my bag, and I’m super excited to crack it open)

  10. My DSLR Camera (my true travel buddy)!

My flight for Portugal leaves Friday! I’ve been triple checking everything like CRAZY + studying maps of Lisbon. Does anyone else do this before trips? I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for safe (and uneventful) travels!
