Travel Necessities from Miss Teen International

When packing for trips, it is easy to over pack, especially for girls. I am SO guilty! In travelling, I have found that certain things you must include and a there few things that you can try to narrow down…somewhat at least!

*Always pack travel, pass time items! For me, that is a book, my headphones, and my computer so that I can get work done for school! Always have something on hand to pass time in case your flight gets delayed or just something to enjoy while you travel.

*Always be sure to have the makeup you need! For me, I, many times, want to pack large amounts of makeup, but it is key to have a set group of cosmetics that are for travel. That way you are not packing multiple eye shadow palettes and taking up too much space! HAHA!

*CLOTHING—the hardest thing for me to eliminate, so this is where I fill up most of the space in my suitcase. I like to have a variety of outfits because you never know that the weather may be or how you are feeling that day! I would suggest this be the thing that you “over pack” too! ☺

*Shoes are always a hard one for me, too! I do not think there is a certain way to narrow down shoes. I typically just do my best to keep the number down, but sometimes that does not work. So, I end up stuffing some into my carry on for space purposes!

*Lastly, jewelry—it does not take up too much space, so I put it in jewelry bag and stick it in the zip up part of my suitcase. I mean you must have earrings because that is partly what completes an outfit!

If you have all of these items, you will certainly look the part on any trip! This is typically my thought process as I pack, and this is mostly what is in my bag! I hope you enjoy all of your upcoming travels!
