I have a packing checklist that I created to help me remember what items I need.  If you click here, I’ll give you an editable copy of it.  It has the items that I pack, but you can change it to meet your own packing needs.

From outlet converters to cameras and cords, there are so many electronics that I carry along with me when I travel.

I’m always waiting until the last minute, but some of these items were necessary and thank goodness Amazon delivers quickly!

Game changer!  I NEVER organized my toiletries until 2021 and I don’t know how I managed to keep track of all these items without my toiletry bag.  I love the fact that there’s a pocket for everything and the entire bag just folds and zips right up and can be hung up as soon as you get to your destination.

Do you want to see a quick overview of all the items I packed up in my suitcase?  Here’s a very satisfying high speed packing video.

I don’t think my anxiety could handle lost luggage.  To avoid stress, I started packing up my suitcase and then throwing a thin duffle bag inside to make sure everything fits.  Once it does, I take the duffle and fill it with the most important items such as a set of clothes, makeup, hair products, etc.  If it’s something that I would regret not having in a pinch, it goes in my carry-on duffel.

I LOVE my Nordace backpack and bring it on every single trip I take so I can tote my laptop and other work items around.  It’s well-padded for electronics and has a lot of fun compartments for storing various items.

I don’t recommend coming to me for shoe advice.  I pack VERY simply when it comes to shoes.  If I’m traveling to Europe, I’ve stopped packing heels or wedges because I end up never wearing them.

Do you want to see a real life game of tetris?  Finding the right packing strategy in order to fit every single thing into my suitcase gives me a boost of serotonin.

My new favorite casual bag is this Herschel crossbody.  It was perfect for long walks, casual strolls around the city, or just a quick outing for a cappuccino.  It has more room than you would expect for fitting tons of items.

When I want to look a little more stylish while walking around a city, I thrown on my Michael Kors crossbody.  This bag is comfortable, spacious, and also CUTE! The front little pocket is the perfect size for a couple of lip products and a portable charger!
