Packing List

What is in my bag?

I am often revising my packing list for travel, depending on the location I intend to visit. But this pretty much covers the items I would take with me. Keep in mind that this list is geared towards women, but easily adaptable for men.

I try to keep in mind that whatever I take with me will be something that I will need to carry, drag or lift. I don’t take things that i “might” use, and most items serve a dual purpose.

Use this minimalist packing list as a guideline to create your own. Everyone has their likes and dislikes, and your trip may require you to bring certain items that are not part of this list. Use this list as a base and build a minimalist packing list that suits you. 

Also, anything I recommend is something that I’ve used, like and carry with me.

NOTE: There are links to some of the items that I will get a small commission from. It does not add to the cost.

Clothing & Shoes

This list will vary depending on the location I’m traveling to, and or the activities I intend to participate in. I also chose clothing in colors that will coordinate with each other. For anyone who knows me…that would be primarily black, grey & white.

Warm Climates:

  • 2 White, long-sleeved cotton shirts
  • 2 Tank tops
  • 5 Summer dresses (warm climates)
  • 2 Leggings (with side pockets)
  • Swimsuit
  • Keen Sandals
  • REEF sneakers (double as slip-ons)

Colder & Wetter Climates:

  • 2 Pants
  • 3 Leggins
  • 2 Tank tops

All Climates:

Dry Toiletries

I use my hanging toiletry bag for my dry toiletries:

Wet Toiletries

I put my wet toiletries in the clear plastic bag that comes with my toiletry bag, which is great for storing travel-sized items.

  • Toothpaste (I don’t recommend toothpaste tablets.)
  • Facial cleanser
  • Day face cream (with sunscreen)
  • Night face cream
  • Eye drops

Note: Unless it’s a product that I really like, and not sure I can replace, I only bring enough for a few weeks. I will replenish other items at my destination. I’ve found you can find great products in other countries.
