25 Essentials for Cold Weather Travel

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

In this post we’re laying out all of our favorite, field-tested essentials for winter travel, from gear to clothing.

Chapstick & Moisturizer

The air in winter is dry as a bone. – So I highly recommend carrying some good quality chapstick with you during your trip and using a heavy moisturizer on your face every night.

Travel Insurance

At this point in our lives, we never travel anywhere without travel insurance. We're way too accident-prone to risk it!

Bra Pocket or Money Belt

Purses and wallets can easily be stolen while you travel so bra pockets or money belts are a perfect solution!

Travel Credit Card

We book all of our trips on our favorite travel credit card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Not only do we earn cash back that we can spend on more travel, but the card also offers fantastic travel perks

Day Bag

You'll want a bag with you to store things like extra layers, your camera, a phone charger, snacks, and whatever trinkets you pick up while you're out exploring

Carry-On Luggage

We recommend packing everything into carry-on luggage - it saves you money on flights, and it's way easier than schlepping around a giant suitcase!

Travel-Friendly Camera

All you need is a travel-friendly pocket-sized Canon Powershot, which appears deceptively cheap and old-fashioned to potential thieves but actually takes AMAZING photos.
