The Ultimate Packing Checklist

Packing can be a task at times, literally and figuratively. It’s puzzling, to say the least- what to take, how to fold and where to fit? First things first- let’s put ‘what to take’ into the spotlight given that it’s the first step of the packing process! Here is where lists come into the picture. The concept of creating a checklist of everything you’ll need is a blessing in disguise. What’s on the list must go in the bag.

Start making the checklist one week prior to departure, so you get one whole week to go back to it and add something that slipped your mind when you first drafted it. This exercise also leaves you with enough time to buy the essentials that may not be lying around in your house. Take a final look at the list a day or two prior to your trip; ask yourself if what’s on it actually deserves a place in your bag or not!

One important factor that comes into play is picking the right luggage! Before you finalize your checklist, it’s important to find a travel bag that’s as versatile as you need it to be, while also accommodating everything on the list and still being easy to carry. Be mindful of the length of your trip, your primary activities, and your checklist- all of these impact which bag best suits your travel.
