What to pack when you travel!

It can be challenging to figure out what to pack when you are traveling for a week, month, or a year abroad without prior experience of the place you plan to visit. Here are a few things you can need to travel just about anywhere in the world.

What Clothes to Bring

If you are traveling to places where clothing is cheap, such as Southeast Asia, you don’t need to carry a complete wardrobe. In places like Europe, where clothing might not be cheap, bring everything you think you’ll need.

For hot climates, carry

·         A few thin tank tops that you can mix and match with different bottoms
·         A few pairs of shorts of different lengths
·         One or two skirts or dresses
·         2–3 pairs of light cotton bottoms
·         Several pairs of comfortable underwear
·         A few pairs of thin socks
·         A pair of hiking or running shoes and a pair of flip-flops or sandals
·         A hat to shield your face

For temperate climates, carry

·         A few tank tops and a few long-sleeved shirts for layering
·         2–3 t-shirts
·         2–3 tunic shirts or dresses
·         A pair of jeans or thick pants
·         A few pairs of shorts of different lengths
·         Several pairs of comfortable underwear
·         A few pairs of socks
·         A pair of boots or closed-toed shoes
·         A pair of hiking or running shoes
·         A pair of flip-flops or sandals
·         A waterproof jacket

For cold climates, carry

·         A few long-sleeved shirts for layering
·         2 thermal shirts
·         A few sweaters and/or sweater dresses
·         A pair of jeans or thick pants
·         A few pairs of leggings for layering
·         Several pairs of comfortable underwear and thick socks
·         A pair of snow boots
·         A heavy coat
·         A pair of gloves
·         A scarf
·         A beanie or winter hat

What Toiletries to Bring

Shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, and soap are the obvious ones. A basic toiletry travel kit list should include:

·         A hanging toiletry bag for easy use
·         Travel-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body and face wash, sunscreen
·         moisturizer
·         Venus razor refills
·         Travel first aid kit
·         Toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss
·         Deodorant
·         Tweezers and nail clippers
·         Makeup
·         An eye shadow palette
·         Foundation and bronzer
·         Makeup brushes
·         Eyeliner and mascara

Another great way of packing toiletry items is to get ready travel kits from Travel Badger. These contain travel sized bottles of your favorite toiletry brands in a clear toiletry kit that makes you feel at home no matter where you go, as if you swept the products right off your bathroom counter!

What Other Things to Bring

There are a few other items to make your travels easier.

·         Packing cubes to organize your clothing and compress it
·         Microfiber towel that dries quickly
·         Sleeping bag liner
·         Scarf for easy covering up if you are visiting temples or at the beach
·         A flashlight for camping, digging in your bag after dark in dorms and as a personal flashlight
·         If you’re carrying valuables, pack are locks and cable wire to protect your belongings safe

What to Pack: The Checked Bag Guide

Regardless of whether you travel often or rarely, the thumb rule for packing checked luggage is to only pack those things in it that you can live without.

Pack carefully and remember that there can be delays, and occasionally you may lose things. Toiletries Anything over 3.4 oz. (or 100 mL) needs to go into your checked luggage. You have two options – 1.        Check your shower products, like body wash, shaving cream, shampoo, and conditioner and pack them according to size. 2.        Since we all have our fav brands and would love to have them close, you can now buy ready travel kits with your fav products from Travel Badger and keep them in your carry-on. Extra Medication If you would like to carry some medicines (just in case) medicine, it is best to pack it up. Unless ...

What is a Toiletry Kit?

A toiletry kit is a small bag that can hold your toiletries and cosmetics when you travel. You would come across a variety of toiletry kits in stores and online as Dopp kits, travel kits, toiletry bags, body hygiene kits - just to name a few. Your toiletry kit is more than a bag to dump all your toiletries into. Here are three important things to consider while buying your travel toiletry kit. Size Do not forget to pay attention to the size of the toiletry kit. It should be small enough to not take up all the room in your bag, but not so small either that it fails to hold all your essential toiletries.

The Pro Guide to Traveling Light

Packing properly is an art, especially if you are going on a long trip or multiple destinations. You want to bring stuff you are comfortable with but you don’t want to be lugging too much stuff wherever you go. That means you may have to limit yourself to a smaller, lighter bag which may seem an impossible task. However, the following guide will help you travel light without sacrificing a great deal. Travel with One Bag To ensure you can travel with a single piece of luggage, you need the right one! Ginormous bags will always tempt you to fill them. Think of a backpack or a rucksack. While most people prefer wheeled luggage, dragging a wheeled case can get very tiring especially on a long trip. A backpack allows you to spread the weight across your body better and you’ll be much faster with your luggage at your back. Packing Light Pack only what you absolutely need. This sounds obvious, but we often convince ourselves to pack what we don’t really need at all. Lay ...
