Deciding what to pack for your vacation can sometimes feel like a game of chance. How much shampoo will I use? Do I really need my rain boots? Through trial and error, we have discovered travel products and packing methods that work really well for us. Hopefully, they can assist you as well.
You need less than you think
Wondering how long travel toiletries really last? The answer is a lot longer than you think. Yay! You can pack less! And speaking of packing less, we share some tools and gear you will need to pack light as well as some packing light tips. Packing light is hard. But your back and your future souvenirs will thank you for keeping your luggage light.
Packing is all about the weather
Ah the weather. It can often make or break a trip, especially if you do not have the right clothes and gear. If you are looking for advice on what to pack for different climates, we have posts on packing for cold climates, packing for medium climates and packing for hot climates (our least favorite). We even have a specific list or two, like what to pack for five nights in Puerto Rico.
Finding what works and what doesn’t
Whenever we hit the road, we like to try out new clothes and gear. There are just so many travel products out there that could make a good trip even more enjoyable. But there are also a lot of duds. So we try out new things like foldable flats and then tell you how they treated us out on the road. If you have got a travel product you love or you want us to try, contact us and let us know. We would love to try it out too.
Choose quality over quantity
The right clothes and gear can make a big difference on how comfortable you are out on the road. They also help with packing light. But quality travel clothes and gear can also be expensive. So check out these 8 places to find affordable travel clothes for women. It may take some time to build up your collection of quality travel products, but you will not regret it once you do. Travel is so much easier with good gear.
Don’t forget the little stuff
Safety first! Be prepared by creating your own travel first aid kit and remember these 10 small but useful things to pack for every vacation. We have heaps of stories about how some small travel product saved the day in a far off land.
