Die-hard travelers are ready to get up and go at a moment’s notice and having a pre-packed, travel-ready bag can make the travel lifestyle much easier. Keep a pack on hand with these must-have items to make sure you’re always ready when the open road calls:
A TSA-friendly toiletry kit with essentials like deodorant, body wash, shampoo and a dental kit: Check out PackSimply.com to order your own personalized kit with items just right for your needs.
Three to four days of clean socks and underwear: While clothes can be recycled a few times in a pinch, socks and underwear should never be reused. If you are going to make room in your bag for something, it should be these necessities!
A versatile jacket or a comfortable hoodie: This should always be in your pack so you are prepared for whatever the weather throws at you. In addition, you should have a few days worth of clothes that are versatile and interchangeable so you can create a variety of outfits. And don’t forget a pair of comfortable pjs!
A compact umbrella and a pair of shades: These won’t take up too much room, but can really come in handy depending on where your last-minute trip takes you.
Last but not least, an extra charger for your phone is a must so you are never caught with a dead battery. An external battery supply is also a helpful addition in case you find yourself needing a charge without access to an outlet.
With a properly stocked, travel-ready bag you won’t have to waste time packing for last-minute trips. Instead you can use that extra time planning your adventures for when you arrive at your destination.
