Master Packing List:

I’ve combined the best of the best to create a master list of everything you need. Whether you’re traveling domestic or international, I’ve got it all. I’ve even organized it down to what should be kept in each piece of luggage. The only thing I cannot do for you is determine the number of each thing you will need and pack your baggage for you. Otherwise, I’ve done all the work.

This list can be used for all, men, women and children. Of course, not each person will need each item so pick only what you need. Just because it is on the list does not mean you need to pack it. Keep in mind that you may not need all of the items listed due to climate differences. Know the weather in the country or state you are headed to. You can also buy items such as toiletries once you arrive in the country so don’t over pack. Some people, like myself, like to be overly prepared for a trip and pack everything that they need.

*Some items are listed more than once under different baggage. This is to minimize the damage if something is lost.

Make sure you have copies of any important travel documents. It is much easier to get a lost passport issue fixed if you have copies of it on hand. Make a few colored copies of your passport, ID and even credit cards. Keep the Credit Card information only in your personal item that will be on you at all times. It is important not to lose the copies but they are nice to have if you need to get help with a lost card.

This can be tailored to your needs, please do not pack everything on this list unless you need it. Make sure you weigh your luggage before heading to the airport.

Lastly, enjoy your journey!
