The essentials
- A light rain jacket that packs into its own pocket
- Comfortable shoes you've already worn in
- A universal adapter and one multi-device cable
- A refillable water bottle
- Copies of your passport and insurance, saved offline
What we've stopped packing
Guidebooks, extra shoes and anything “just in case”. If you need it, you can almost always buy it there.
One bag or two?
For trips under two weeks, a carry-on and a day pack is plenty. You'll move faster and never wait at baggage claim.
