Packing can be exhausting and very stressful especially if you wait until the last minute. There are certain things that I travel with on every road trip.
I mostly travel by car and these are things that I always have with me.
Bags
I have every sort of bag a person can think of. I have a small obsession with them. I’m pretty much the person who puts a bag inside a bag. I have so many different size bags, but I use most of them. My favorite bag right now is my Longchamp bag because it can hold so much. The next bag would be my jansport grey backpack. I use that bag everyday for work.
Packing Cubes
I swear by packing cubes. I love this set because it fits everything I need for every trip. Anytime I am traveling I put my clothes into cubes. It makes traveling so much easier and much more organized.I typically use the smaller ones for each day or activity. That’s what I found works for me.
Technology
Obviously my phone. Depending on the length of the trip, I’ll bring either my ipad or my macbook. There have been times that I have brought both. Along with my technology, I have a cord organizer. It has cords for each device, wipes, and power bank.
Toiletry Bag
I personally use the Mary Kay Rollup Bag. It has 4 plastic velcro bags that fit everything for a trip.
- Bag 1: Skin Care Routine –
- Bag 2: Bathroom Stuff – Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash,
- Bag 3: Personal Items – Razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant
- Bag 4: Speciality Items – This depends on the type of trip.
Sunglasses Case
Everything has to have a place. I can not have my sunglasses just sitting in my bag. I am trying to be more minimal with my travels, but sunglasses are my favorite thing. In the future, I want one that will carry multiple pairs because I would like to bring more glasses.
Reusable Bottles
I have so many different bottles. It’s kinda like my bag obsession. On most trips I bring a hydroflask, Stanley, water bladder for my hiking bags. I will also keep a jug of water in my car.
