Traveling Tips: The
Essentials of Packing
By Jack Halfon

2. Introduction
❖ This is always a huge dilemma no matter where you go. It
could be for a quick weekend trip for your brother’s
wedding or a three-month excursion deep in the South East
Asia.
❖ Regardless of where you are planning your trip, you cannot
possibly bring everything with you from your home.
❖ Even if you do take more than one luggage bags, do you
really want to spend a majority of your day lugging that
around? Didn’t think so.

3. Problem with Packing
❖ It is easy to get caught up in
what you want to bring for
your trip.
❖ In fact not many of us realized
we have over packed until we
try to zip up the bag.
❖ In these cases, we are lost in
our stream of consciousness
imagining every situation in
which you are going to need
that sweater or that suit.

4. Solution: Create a List
❖ In your list, you want to include
any necessities that you will use
on your trip.
❖ This includes clothes, shoes,
toiletries, guidebooks/reading
materials, electronic devices and
chargers.
❖ Certain forgotten times many
people carelessly overlook
include your toothbrush, razors,
and deodorant.

5. What Clothes to Bring?
❖ When planning your outfits, think about your daily schedule, the
standard weather, and any extreme weather situations.
❖ Start off simply by packing any leisure sleeping wear.
❖ If you know you are attending night events, make sure you pack
any casual or professional items that best fit those situations.
❖ Prepare for any extreme weather, try and bring versatile items such
as a light jacket or cardigan that can fit neatly in your back.
❖ Last but not least back various socks, shoes, and underwear for the
intended amount of days for your stay.
❖ Don’t forget to bring an empty plastic bag for your dirty clothes.

7. Don’t forget the Toiletries
❖ This includes your toothbrush,
toothpaste, deodorant, etc.
❖ In regards to liquids, make sure
they are the appropriate amount
to take for your travels.
❖ Certain airport restrictions
could compromise your bag,
delaying you without your
necessities for a few hours or a
few days.
❖ In addition, make sure your
toiletries are in a secure bag.

8. Packing the Essentials
❖ The last things you want to pack
are your essentials.
❖ Money, credit cards, identification,
passports all need to be secured in
a safe spot.
❖ Usually people pack these in
separate bags. I
❖ n addition, if you are planning on
bringing any technological items
on the trip such as your laptop or
phone, make sure you bring your
chargers and the appropriate
plugins.
