Hey travel buddies! ✈️ Ever gotten to the airport and realized you forgot something super important?

Yep, I've been there too—more than once 😂 So I put together this little checklist of my personal must-haves whenever I travel, whether it's a short weekend trip or a longer adventure. Hope this helps you avoid that "uh-oh" moment mid-journey!

1. Passport (duh, but double-check!)

Seriously, even if you think you packed it, check again. I always keep mine in a passport pouch that goes into my carry-on right before I lock my luggage. No last-minute panic!

2. Phone & Charger

Obvious but crucial. I pack my charger and a power bank because you never know when you'll be stuck without a plug. Also, don't forget your cable—it's always the cable we forget, right?

3. Earphones or Headphones

I can't fly without mine. Noise-canceling ones are a total lifesaver when you need some peace on a noisy plane. 🎧

4. Travel-sized Toiletries

I keep a small pouch with my mini skincare, toothpaste, toothbrush, and some face wipes. TSA-friendly and perfect for freshening up on the go.

5. Travel Wallet

I use one that holds my ID, some cash, boarding pass, and cards. Makes it super easy to grab everything in one go without digging through my bag.

6. Reusable Water Bottle

Most airports have filling stations now. Staying hydrated is key, especially on long flights. And you save money (and plastic!) 💧

7. Medication & Mini First-Aid

This one's a biggie. I always carry a few painkillers, motion sickness pills, plasters, and any personal meds. Better safe than sorry!

8. A Light Scarf

It works as a blanket on cold planes, a pillow, a makeshift wrap if you need to dress up a bit—so handy!

9. Snacks

Airport food can be pricey and hit-or-miss. I pack a couple of protein snacks, trail mix, or dried fruits just in case hunger strikes mid-transit.

10. Extra Undergarments

A change of underwear in your carry-on = total lifesaver if your luggage gets delayed. Trust me, it's a small thing that makes a huge difference.
