Travel Packing List: Material Girl Edition
I’m travelling to multiple countries over the next 6+ weeks which means I’m packing a lot of shit. So I thought I would share my packing list with you in case you want to have a peek so you don’t forget anything on your next trip!
I would consider myself an expert level packer by now.
No, I am not by any means a minimalist like some of these backpacker folks.
I am a chronic over packer. I like to be prepared for anything. I like to have options. I like some comfort. Some may consider me a material gurl.
I would consider myself somewhere in the middle of homeless with one pair of underwear and a dream and has 4 Louis Vuitton suitcases and flys private with her purse dog…
I hope that paints a good enough picture.
Anyway… Onto what you came here for… The packing list.
This is all of what I have with me on this trip. I’m pretty confident I got everything but I’ll let ya know if I think of anything else.
Carry on:
Sleep mask
Earplugs
Travel adapter
Kindle
Ipad
Chargers (phone, speaker, kindle, iPad, portable battery)

Skincare, face mist- most of my skincare fits in my carry on in travel sizes
Mini deodorant- also great to carry around for chafing, learned that the hard way
Travel perfumes
Butt Wipes
Toilet spray (Iykyk)
Birth control
Sunglasses
Hair brush- Only brought a small brush as I have thin hair and don’t need a full size. Trying to save on space as much as possible.
Portable charger
Amazon Phone light
Speaker
Backup Debit card and credit card
Some underwear/change of clothes/one bikini- little care package of clothes IN CASE your luggage gets lost, which it won’t because things like that don’t happen to us :) but still nice to have, especially just shorts/flip flops if you’re wearing warmer clothes on the plane and then you can change right when you land
Back up AirTag – make sure this is already connected to your phone.
Like 6 different lip products :)

I lay out my plane outfit the night before I leave! It can get both really hot and really cold on the plane so I think ahead and prepare for both. I also make sure I have my travel blanket strapped onto my backpack.
Hat

Sweater
Socks/underwear
Fanny Pack:
Passport
ID and cards – I put my debit card and a credit card in this bag, and then I have a backup debit card and credit card in my backpack, keep them separate!

Yes this is a lot of shit. Edit as needed.
My strategy for packing goes as follows…
- Sort out toiletries, condense into smaller bottles. This took me forever this time. And my toiletries make up like 4–5 toiletry bags. It’s a lot, It’s heavy. Whatever. It all fit because I’m a packing wizard.
- Throw clothing into a corner and edit down what I think I’ll actually wear. This was hard cause I’m going to so many different places and had to think about all of that but we did it!
- Pack clothing into packing cubes.
- Add in misc things to suitcase (tripod, bags etc)
- Pack shoes, double check suitcase list, everything is checked off
- Pack carry on and fanny pack
Don’t forget to get distracted about 13 times along the way and check your list 3 times before leaving the house! Wahoo!
You’re all ready to go! Safe travels, may you have the adventure of a lifetime. I know I sure will.
