Plan your packing. When you plan ahead of time, it is easier to anticipate what clothes and items will be needed for a trip and pack accordingly. It also helps reduce the stress that comes with forgetting something at home or not having enough room in your suitcase for everything when traveling!
*Some additional tips include:
Pro Tip: To save room in your luggage, roll your clothing.
Be prepared for weather changes by packing clothing appropriate for both the time and place where you are traveling. If you know that it is going to be colder at your destination than what you would normally wear, pack a sweater or coat.
*Some additional tips include:
Make sure you pack any necessary medications, toiletries, and travel items. This may include contact lenses (if not wearing glasses), an eye mask for sleeping on a plane or train, prescriptions if needed, and more!
*Some additional tips include:
Pro Tip: Prevent spills of liquid toiletries by wrapping them in plastic wrap
Include a list of your important contact information. When you are packing to leave on an international trip, it is always good to have all of the necessary contacts in one place. That way if something happens while you are away, there won’t be any panic trying to find someone's phone number or email address.
*Some additional tips include:
Pack items that are multipurpose. Bring one item that will serve multiple purposes, for example, 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner instead of bringing each one separately. You can pack your luggage lighter this way, then you will have room for souvenirs or other items you may purchase during your trip.

Pack a universal adapter for international travel. This is important because it will be difficult to find the correct adapters if you forget yours!

Pack extra clothes and cosmetics for extended travel plans. You never know when something might happen and these items will be handy to have on hand.
