What Clothes
Pack clothes of the same colour scheme so you can mix and match. Blacks, greys and khakis are the best. Pack crease-resistant clothes: wool or cotton ad polyester blends do not wrinkle as much as pure wool or 100% cotton. Don’t even think of travelling with linen unless you intend to do your own ironing.
Toilet Kit
If you travel very frequently, pack a complete and permanent toiletry kit. Buy a set of plastic travel-sized bottles and fill them with lotions and the usual items you need on the road. This keeps you from having to reassemble your kit each time you take a trip.
Plastic Bags
Bring several used laundry or supermarket plastic bags to keep shoes and soiled / wet items.
Cellophane Tape
Keep a roll of cellophane tape in your bag at all times. It can be used to quickly mend hems, seal bottles or remove lint.
What Else?
Your favourite things back home which you may crave and are hard to get abroad, i.e. instant cup noodles, local snacks, favourite CDs, books… you know best what these are. |
