Packing is part art, part logistics — and getting it right can make or break your travel experience.
Heading out for a weekend getaway? Or maybe a months-long adventure? Either way, this section will help you choose the right gear, pack efficiently, and travel light but prepared. From tips and tricks to packing checklists, we’ve got you covered; whether you pack light or overthink zippers.

When I was researching fo this page, I came accross the statement “The best trips start with a bag that’s organized, not overstuffed”. Now, I’m pretty sure this is true; I also know I don’t live up to this. If I have space for one more tissue, I’d probably squish it in.
On this page I share some of my own tips, but also some “best practices” or tips from other travellers. Remember, you have to figure out what is right for you. A lot of it also depends on what you plan to do during your trip and what type of trip you have in mind.
