Packing is the process that gets me personally most excited about the trip. Only when I’ve packed does it actually feel like I’m going somewhere. I usually leave the packing quite late, which isn’t a great idea. My saviour, in this case, will always be my love of making lists.
I begin planning what necessities I’d like to take with me rather early. This habit leaves me plenty of time to remember various necessary items during the upcoming days. I leave my list lying on my desk with a pen next to it, in order to add thoughts to it the moment I think of something.
I distinguish between toiletries, clothes and important objects, in order to be able to pack in an organised fashion by just going down my separate lists; Clothes on one side, toiletries on the other and important objects and gadgets quickly accessible on top.
Important Objects
o Passport
o Tickets (Flights, trains etc.)
o Insurance information
o Credit card
o Power bank

In addition to coming up with all the things I need, I decide on which items I need in my hand luggage, and what can go in the suitcase. My documents as well as most of the “important” things like my power bank and birth control or expensive items like my sunglasses and phone, will accompany me into the plane. I also mark the items I’ll be wearing the day of the flight, in this case my thick jumper, my mum-jeans and my trainers.
This is not a list I would swear by, however it is a good base that must be personalised in order to make it work for the individual persona.
