Have you ever imagined forgetting your passport at home just in time to travel?

Believe it or not, some setbacks are highly avoidable.

Just plan so that most of your trip goes the way you expect.

Do you want to see it alone?

So, follow our guide on how to create one checklist for your dream trip.

Putting together a travel list

Putting together a list of what to take for the trip and the issues that must be resolved before leaving is the first step in your planning.

This means that, in addition to deciding what to pack, you must be aware of other important aspects, such as documentation, itinerary, accommodation, expenses and so on.

It seems obvious, but the more we put all this down on paper, the easier it becomes to understand what is missing and what the next steps are.

This way, you can see everything you need in a few minutes and start organizing yourself as soon as possible.

Creating a travel checklist

Firstly, it is good to remember that your checklist is not something you write in just one day, not even in the last week before the trip.

Your list will be created throughout the process of planning your vacation.

So let's take it easy.

To start the checklist, consider:

Destination: national or international?
Climate: hot or cold?
Duration: one week? One month?
Shipping cost: go by car? Plane? Bus?

Once you know how to answer all these questions, it's time to move on to the next step.

What can't be missing from a travel list?

Our list should start being made well in advance, especially if the trip is international.

Here are some essential details:

Documents: Scan and save them all to the cloud. Print copies and take everything in a folder with you
Vaccines: many countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination
Medicines: painkillers, band-aids, anti-nausea and headache medicines, muscle relaxants, anti-allergy medicines, sunscreen and everything that can ensure peace of mind during your trip
Medical check-up: the better your health status, the lower your chances of getting sick away from home
Suitcase list: clothes, footwear, accessories, cameras, hygiene kits, complementary equipment, etc.
Unblocking credit cards: essential in cases of international travel
Travel insurance: In addition to guaranteeing coverage against possible accidents, travel insurance is mandatory in some places – Europe is one of them.

Packing – What to take on long trips

For long trips, no more stuffing your suitcases with clothes. In these cases, the ideal is to separate neutral pieces for a week.

This way, you can change the combination between them as the days go by and take them to the dry cleaners when you need them.

If the trip lasts even longer, it is worth making a power of attorney so that someone you trust can resolve important matters for you.

Travel clothing list

The more minimalist, the lighter and more practical your trip will be.

Some items that cannot be missed, regardless of the climate:

Underwear
Pants (maximum 2)
Blouses (5, on average)
Shorts and skirts (1 of each)
Dresses (1 casual and 1 for a night out)
Waterproof jacket
Windbreaker jacket,

Furthermore, prioritize comfortable clothes and items that are difficult to wrinkle and easy to wash.

How will the weather be?

Add appropriate clothing for each climate.

If it's cold:

Hat, scarf, gloves
Boots
Casaco
Second skin.

Choose the right thermal clothing to save more space in your suitcase. So, instead of wearing three sweaters against the cold, one will be enough.

If it's hot:

Exit from the beach
Light dresses, shorts and skirts
regattas
Swimwear.

What should you have in your luggage?

For your trip to go smoothly, it is important to separate at least two pieces of luggage:

To ship: with heavier clothes, shoes, accessories and other equipment

Hand: with important documents, wallet, cell phone, charger, electronics, toiletry bag with useful medicines, hygiene kit, sunglasses, book, extra change of clothes and a coat.

Organize objects in luggage

To fit everything neatly into your suitcase, use organizers, such as bags for underwear and bags for medicine and hygiene kits.

Another tip is to always place your shoes on the sides, to take up less space.

Furthermore, heavy clothes, like pants and jackets, always go at the bottom of the suitcase, ok?

A tag on your suitcase also prevents it from being exchanged or lost if lost.

What to take on an international trip

International trips are usually longer, require more documents and, therefore, must be planned very carefully.

So, check out the tips!
