Packing Tech Checklist for an International Trip

My Packing Tech Checklist for an International Trip

““Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” –”

— Alexander Graham Bell

Packing for an international trip requires properly planning what you will need while you are away from home. Having the things you need with you will make your trip so much more enjoyable. You also do not want to arrive in an international destination and waste time trying to find things you may need. In many destinations around the world, you might not even be able to buy them.

The items I am recommending below are items that I use on every trip. Most items are things that I have used for years and have throughly tested. While some of the items are expensive, i.e., Rimowa Suitcases, they will last you for years and years. They are also extremely difficult to break into. Having these items on hand — along with the appropriate clothing and shoes for your destination — will help make your trip as smooth and seamless as possible.
