What should I always pack when travelling?

Always pack your passport and copies, travel insurance documents, any prescription medications, a universal power adapter, portable charger and one change of clothes in your carry-on.

How do you pack light for a trip?

Pack clothes that can be mixed and matched, choose lightweight fabrics, use compression bags, limit shoes to 2–3 pairs and remember most destinations have shops if you forget something.

What should I pack for a beach holiday?

Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a rashguard, multiple swimwear sets, a sarong, waterproof sandals, insect repellent, after-sun lotion and a waterproof phone case.

What should I not pack when travelling?

Leave behind excessive toiletries (buy on arrival), too many shoes, full-size bottles, clothes you never wear at home, valuables you don't need and anything replaceable.

How much luggage should I take?

For trips under 2 weeks a carry-on only (22L–40L) is ideal. For longer trips or cold destinations a checked bag of 20–23kg is reasonable. Overpacking is the most common travel mistake.
