I’ve been there… that “one time in Fiji” my luggage didn’t arrive for 5 days!!!

All I had was the clothes on my back and, my wallet…

Here’s the items I recommend carrying on you in case such an unfortunate travel mishaps comes your way.

  • Dry shampoo

  • snacks

  • flip flops (if you’re traveling somewhere tropical)

  • toothpaste/tooth brush

  • face wash, lotion and lip chap.

  • One extra set of clothing (preferably something you wouldn’t mind sleeping in if you had to)

  • You should include your most valuable items (laptop, camera)

  • Any important medication that you take

  • Additional items that would make your travels more comfortable such as Trtl Travel Pillow (honest to god a must have!)

When it comes to packing your checked bag, you have a little more leeway here.

  • This bag should include any liquids over 3.4 oz

  • other nonessential medications, more outfits, clunky shoes, etc.


Everyone’s carry on and checked bag will look different, depending on their needs.

Just remember to ask yourself: what can I not live without?
