My Must-Pack Travel Essentials for Summer Trips
Don’t hit the road (or airport) without these travel essentials for summer in your bag.
Summer trips are coming in hot- and whether you’re jetting off to a beach, a mountain escape, or a city you’ve never explored, there are a few things I never leave home without.
These travel staples have saved me more times than I can amount- from airport chaos to last-minute hikes to that one time we got caught in a downpour in Switzerland. Here are a few of my favorites:
A Foldable Tote
Perfect for beach days, shopping strolls, or stuffing with snacks on travel days.
My Go-To Travel Sandals
Cute and comfy. I’ve walked miles in these without a single blister.
A Lightweight Scarf or Wrap
Doubles as a blanket on the plane, a modesty cover for temples, or a stylish accessory.
A Portable Charger
Because “low battery” is not the vibe when you’re snapping sunsets and GPS-ing your way around.
A Packing Cube System
keeps my outfits organized and makes repacking a breeze. Bonus: it will satisfy any Type A packing heart.
Face/Body Wipes
Makeup removal, freshen up after a long flight, or surviving a sweaty sightseeing day.
Travel size hanging toiletry bag- Unfolded and hangs in tiny bathrooms or campsites.
A Mini Travel Fan
Game changer for northern and European trips. Many stays do not have fans and still air is warm air.
A Packable Rain Jacket
Because mother nature doesn’t care how cute your outfit is.
A Compact First-Aid Kit
Band-aids, meds, blister pads, and antiseptic wipes all in one.
A Phone Tripod
For pictures that don’t include your armpit.
A Mini Hand Pillow
better than bunching up your sweatshirt and hoping for the best.
A Hanging Toiletry Bag
Unfolds and hangs in tiny spaces like bathrooms or campsites.
Packing smart is the first step to traveling like a boujee pro- even on a budget. Save the list, snag your favorites, and thank me later when your trip goes off without a hitch.
