What to pack for (long) travel

Hi,

So like you read on my last post I'm going to Canada for a year.
To work and travel :)
I can only take 20kg of luggage with me and thats not much at all.
So I thought to give you an idea of what I packed.
Reminding you that all the winter stuff I think of buying there.

- Underwear (10)
- Swimsuit
- Pants (2)
- T-shirt (3)
- Top (2)
- Long sleeved t-shirt (2)
- Turtle neck
- Towel
- Skirt
- Short
- Raincoat
- Jacket
- Jogging
- Sweater / hoodie (4)
- Pj's (3)
- Socks (6)
- Plaid (for winter)
- Scarf and gloves (winter)
- Chargers
- Adapter
- Shoes (2)
- Purse

In my pink bag for toiletries I've packed:
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Hairbrush and tides
- Nail clippers and file
- Lip balm
- Small shower gel

I also have a small first aid kit with me.

In my backpack I've packed:
- Small camera
- Phone
- Laptop
- Papers (all my documents)
- Gum
- Wallet
- Headphones

On the plane I will wear a comfy outfit because it's a 7 hours flight with a stop of a few hours.
I know I don't have a winter jacket or so and winters are really cold up there, but thats why I'm going to buy that stuff up there :)

I hope you enjoyed this and that maybe it can help you to have an idea what to pack.

Love,
Sarah

How to pack your bags for (short) travel

Hi,
I know it's been a while since I last posted something.
Today I wanted to talk about packing for a trip with the plane.
Because when you'll read this I will be in Portugal with my sister and her bff.
We're going for a girls trip in the sun and will be gone for 5 days, but I'll update you about that in another blog :)

How to prepare before your holiday. (this is for the summer, for the winter I would pack warmer)

• After booking

          - Are all my documents / passport still valid? If not make sure all is are valid.              

• 2 weeks before departure

           - Do I need to buy any medication?

           - Can I still fit in all my clothes / swimwear?

• A week before departure

          - Do I have all my reservation documents?

          - Is my medical bag in order?

          - Are all my liquids under 100 ml and in total under 1l?

          - Do I need to buy anything else?

          - Do the last of your shopping (small deodorant, shampoo, body lotion,...).

• 48h before departure

          - Online check in for the plane.

          - Pack your bags (suitcase + hand luggage)

          - Make sure you don't have to much with you, check the weight you can bring (for us it's 10kg)

          - Print out all the needed documents

          - Take a cope of your passport / driver license.

What to pack?

• Medicines

          Dafalgan (or whatever you take for headaches), creme for wounds + band aids

• Beauty

          Sunscreen + aftersun, body lotion, shampoo + conditioner, make up + make up remover,               hairbrush, toothbrush + toothpaste, ... 

• Clothes

          1 shorts, 1 dress, 1 skirt, 3 t-shirts, 1 sweater, sunglasses / glasses, swimsuit, beach towel + beach bag, underwear, pajama, shoes (1 closed pair / one open pair)

What to wear on the plane?

I like to go casual, nothing fancy on a plane for me :)

I'll wear my legging with a t-shirt and a hoodie, we fly in the evening to go and in the night in return so I need my hoodie :) I'm always cold in the plane.

I also like to wear layers because if you go to the sun like I do now you'll want to undress a bit at arrival, if you leave from a colder country :)

This is my packing list for a short holiday in a sunny destination, if I would go longer I would of course take more and if I would go out of the summer I would take warmer clothes :)

I wish you all a great holiday with a lot of sun 🌅

Love,

Sarah
