Tips For Packing for an International Trip

1) Always keep your passport wrapped in plastic.

2) Keep medication, medical equipment and other valuables in your carry-on luggage.

3) Pack an empty water bottle for your purse or carry-on bag.

4) Consider how much shopping you’ll be doing. Make sure to leave space in your luggage for the items you want to buy.

5) Always pack underwear first!

6) Check to see if you have access to laundry at your accommodation. If not, make sure you have plenty of clean underwear.

7) This is optional but Tide-to-Go sticks are really handy when going out. Chances are your clothing will stain one way or another.

8) Pack your tampons or other feminine hygiene products second. You don’t want to be without them in an emergency situation.

9) Put all your liquids in a plastic Zip-Loc bag in your suitcase. Do not keep them in your carry-on bags as they will not get past security.

10) Avoid packing aerosol containers. They could explode under the pressure of being in the air.
