Travel Prep

Packing would be one of the hardest things about preparing to travel (apart from organising a cash passport and a travel sim!).

I usually tend to overpack things so I tried really hard to pack the bare essentials. I have a standard size suitcase (thanks to a couple of friends at my 21st birthday) and a regular handbag to take with me on board in order to make my flight just a bit more comfortable. Here's what I packed!

Handbag (a forgiving size!)

- carmex, face powder

- t-shirt and underwear

- face wipes

- hair tie

- camera + charger

- phone + charger

- travel wallet (KikkiK) including vouchers, passport, id, documents and travel money

- travel medication

- mints

- sunglasses

- hairbrush 

- mini toothbrush and toothpaste 

* you can also choose to pack a book or a magazine but if you get travel sickness really easy like me you probably shouldn't ;) plus I'm looking forward to watching movies!

In my suitcase!

- 2 pairs of jeans (1 blue 1 red)

- 4 pairs of shorts (1 dressy)

- 1 pair of leggings

- short sleeve tops

- long sleeve top

- one throw over jumper

- underwear

- casual dress

- casual/dressy playsuit (good for day to night!)

- thongs

- 2 pairs of bikinis 

- a few accessories (including a watch)

- soft cross-body bag (for everyday sightseeing)

- ghd straightener (perfect for straight and curled looks)

- makeup bag

- 20x20cm clear cosmetic bag including bottles of 100ml or less of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face cleanser, moisturiser, bb cream, nars foundation, hand sanitiser, travel sized Dior mascara and -- wax strips

- photocopies of passport and other documents 

*I chose not to pack any heels because in most clubs I have been told people wear flat shoes and dressy sandals (I'm all for the partying with no pain!)

Thankfully the hard part is over! Today is the day! 

Love always,
