HOLIDAY+TRAVEL

For short trips, pack one set of underwear and socks per day, one or two dressier outfits, and one or two casual or activewear sets. For longer trips, bring extra pajamas, three to four casual outfits, two pairs of shoes, and a travel laundry kit. Adjust quantities based on laundry access and trip length. 

Choose lightweight, quick-drying, and wrinkle-resistant fabrics like synthetic blends, merino wool, or technical materials. These fabrics are comfortable in various climates, easy to wash, and dry quickly, making them ideal for travel. Avoid heavy cotton, as it dries slowly and is less practical for frequent use. 

Must-have travel accessories include a money belt for security, a scarf or sarong for versatile use, a collapsible tote or day bag, and a travel pillow for comfort. Consider a travel laundry kit, reusable water bottle, and pickpocket-proof gear, especially if visiting destinations known for theft. 

Layering is key: pack a mix of short- and long-sleeved shirts, a lightweight rain jacket, and a warm layer like a hoodie or thermal. Accessories such as a sun hat, scarf, and gloves help adapt to temperature changes. Choose clothes that can be easily layered for comfort. 

Bring versatile shoes suited to your activities: sturdy walking shoes or trainers for sightseeing, sandals or flip-flops for relaxing, and a dressier pair if needed. For longer trips or active adventures, include hiking boots or sports sandals. Limit your selection to two or three pairs to save space. 

Yes, items like UPF shirts for sun protection, convertible pants/shorts, and wrinkle-resistant dresses are highly practical. Pickpocket-proof clothing with secure pockets adds security, while quick-dry underwear and socks make laundry easier on the road.
