When packing for an international trip, it's essential to be prepared for a variety of situations and environments. Here's my list of the top 10 things to pack:

Travel Documents:

  • Passport with necessary visas.

  • A copy of your passport and travel itinerary.

  • Travel insurance documents.

Money and Payment Methods:

  • Currency of the destination country and some US dollars for emergencies.

  • Credit/debit cards and a backup card.

  • A money belt or crossbody bag for securing valuables.

Medications and Health Essentials:

  • Prescription medications with the original labeled containers that will last the entire trip plus a few extra days.

  • Over-the-counter medications.

  • Personal hygiene items.

Clothing:

  • Weather-appropriate clothing.

  • Comfortable walking shoes suitable for various activities.

  • A light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings.

Travel Adapters and Electronics:

  • Universal travel adapter to charge your devices.

  • Smartphone, camera, and chargers. Most planes have USB chargers at your seat.

  • Power bank for recharging devices on the go.

Travel Essentials:

  • Travel-sized toiletries.

  • Travel pillow and eye mask for comfortable rest during long flights.

Entertainment and Comfort:
