The Ultimate Packing List
Disclosure Policy: Some links are affiliate links meaning I may make a small commission at no cost to you. I appreciate your support!
This ultimate packing list has been curated, refined, and tweaked over the past decade and is what I refer to before every single trip, no matter the destination. I hope it helps you stay organized and not forget anything important! Above all else, the most important items to pack are:
- A Phone so you can communicate and access your travel plans
- Your Passport so you have a form of ID and can enter new countries
- A credit card so you can purchase anything forgotten.
