Pack for the journey you have chosen. Begin with documents and everyday needs, then add the clothing and equipment your accommodation, transfers and activities call for.
01 / Start here
Create three small groups
Keep travel documents together, separate daily essentials from spare items, and put the things you need during a transfer in a smaller bag. Save booking details offline and keep a second copy accessible. Check airline rules before choosing batteries, liquids or luggage sizes.
02 / Make it practical
Ask before adding specialist kit
For a trail or outdoor activity, ask the operator what is supplied and what you must bring. Choose footwear you have tested. Plan layers around the stops in your route, and confirm laundry or luggage-storage arrangements if they affect how much you need.
03 / Before you go
Pack the departure day last
Keep your first-night address, charger, useful layer and any regular medicine accessible. Ask a clinician or pharmacist about medicine documentation and destination rules where relevant. Before leaving each room, use the same short check: documents, phone, money, charger and the small items you tend to leave behind.
