Knowing what to pack is the hardest part for most travelers. We all struggle with over-packing and thinking “what if {insert unlikely event} happens and I need my {insert ridiculous article of clothing you haven’t worn in years but now is its time}.”

Myself, I’m what some call a carry-on queen because I have mastered the technique of packing light. 

I’m no fool, I know plenty of people that can’t narrow down their options and require 2 checked bags. That’s ok – my lists include the essentials based on where you’re going. So, as long as you check those boxes, you know everything else is just extra.
