PRACTICAL WANDERLUST
If you’re planning a long-term trip of any kind, chances are you want to make sure you bring the right things in order to have the best possible experience.
It can be difficult to know exactly what (and how much) is necessary - and that's where we come in! With our years of travel experience under our belts, we're here to offer some valuable advice on what not to pack for your upcoming journey.
Learn from our mistakes – here are a few items we wish we didn't pack when we traveled outside of the US.
There was no reason to buy a big, clunky one-size-doesn’t-fit-anything travel adapter in advance when it’s so easy to find smaller, cheaper, and easier to use versions at hostels and convenience stores!
Never let your bags out of your sight or out of your reach, even for a second. A cable lock and security wire is overkill as long as you’ve got a hand or an eye on your bag.
Anything you bring can and will break. Leave your fancy but delicate makeup at home, and bring hardy, cream-based makeup for your trip.
