Hey guys! Today I wanted to do a travel-related post since you know I am frequently flying here and there for work. Before every trip I take I scour the internet to find a good list to remind myself of what I should pack, but it can be tricky to find a good one. That's why I decided to write my own handy guide which may hopefully be helpful for your next 1-week trip too. :)
Oreo says, "pack me too!"
The first thing to consider is luggage. Will you be using checked luggage or a simple carry-on? Carry-on luggage size requirements can vary per airline so be sure to check beforehand so your luggage will fit. My luggage here is from Tokidoki but I recommend something with 4 wheels and zip compartments inside.
I personally find packing cubes to be so helpful in neatly organizing my clothes and keeping items from getting lost so if you've never used them, I highly recommend buying a pack in various sizes! TIP: Roll your clothes to keep wrinkles away and save on space.
There have been cuter packing cube options that have come out lately and I've found that having a variety of sizes and designs really helps to keep things organized. Here are a few options that I've been loving:
Once we have our luggage and cubes ready, we can start to pack for our 1-week trip!
