Tl;dr: find here he ultimate packaging list for millennials. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was 15 years old, I\u2019d spend hours reading articles from a Belgian online business magazine. \u201cWhat is the best month to have a kid that will be a billionaire\u201d were the sort of articles I was reading until I stumbled across \u201chow to pack your suitcase for a business trip\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I copied the packaging list given on the website and have updated it every time I took a trip somewhere since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the list below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clothes: underwear, socks, t-shirt\/shirt, trousers, sweater, pajama, towel, shorts, and swimsuit (if warm destination).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Products to place in a transparent plastic bag on top of the suitcase: toothpaste, deodorant, perfume, solar cream, soap, hand cleaning gel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To place in a small pocket of the suitcase: lock, a deck of cards, 3 reusable bags*, nail clipper, lunchbox, spoon, hard-boiled eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech gear: phone and computer chargers, home bank ID machine, kindle, external battery, computer, mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep in pockets: earplugs, phone, keys, wallet**, sunglasses, chewing gum, water bottle, pen, hat, passport\/ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artifact for long-term trips: bed linen, gym gloves, gym shorts, a sleeping bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If out of the EU: ordering local currency***, downloading \u201chere maps\u201d****.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning the future: check how to get from the airport to your accommodation; check for Couchsurfing and meetup events; check interesting places to visit on the \u201chere map\u201d, make sure you have enough money on credit cards, check what are the local supermarket brands, and how works public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, look for the cheapest sim card provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I also carry a 100 ml bottles with sun cream (which prevents me from buying some) and another one with olive oil*****.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And voil\u00e0!! You got it all. I have used this list for long and short trips, to go skiing and to go to the beach and it never failed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no doubt it won\u2019t fail you either. No need to pack your entire house, two pairs of pants (wearing one and packing the other) are more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I count one t-shirt\/shirt per day, the same for underwear. I also ordered a couple of 100 ml transparent bottles that allow me to take any liquid with me on the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these artifacts also fit into a bag you can take with you on the plane, so no more lost luggage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*The three reusable plastic bags are for dirty clothes, grocery shopping and the third is for the kitchen of the hostel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**I always take the minimum I need to travel in my wallet: if I carry my passport, I’ll leave my ID home but will take my driving license. I’ll take with me as well a student card to get discounts, my Revolut card, and my normal bank card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***Ordering local currency while still in your home country is a way to protect yourself against horribly high prices once in the foreign country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

****Here maps is an app that allows you to benefit from public transportation, car, walking, and cycling itineraries without being connected to the Internet. It saved my life countless times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*****Not anymore since I became a carnivore<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
