Summer is the perfect time to explore new destinations and create unforgettable memories. However, packing for a summer trip can be overwhelming, especially when determining what essentials to bring along. To make your packing process easier, we have compiled a list of top travel kits that will help you stay organized and prepared for any adventure.

Medical Kit 

Essential medications and basic first-aid supplies

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, it's important to pack enough medication for your entire trip. Additionally, you should bring some basic first aid supplies such as bandages, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers in case of minor injuries or illnesses. It's also a good idea to research the medical facilities available at your destination and have a plan in case of an emergency. However, if you're traveling to a remote area or engaging in outdoor activities, consider packing more advanced medical supplies such as a snake bite kit or altitude sickness medication.

Especially, when you go abroad, make sure to check all the requirements for bringing medication into the country and consider getting travel health insurance. Some medicines may not legally enter the country and will be confiscated, even if they are prescribed by a foreign physician. If you need medicines that contain potentially addictive drugs or narcotics (e.g., some cough medicines, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, antidepressants, or stimulants), do the following:

  • Declare all drugs, medicinals, and similar products to the appropriate CBP official
  • Carry such substances in their original containers
  • Carry only the quantity of such substances that a person with that condition (e.g., chronic pain) would normally carry for his/her personal use
  • Carry a prescription or written statement from your physician that the substances are being used under a doctor's supervision and that they are necessary for your physical well-being while traveling.

Personal hygiene products

Don't forget to pack personal hygiene products such as toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap to stay hygienic while traveling. It's also important to bring hand sanitizer or wet wipes in limited water access situations. If you have specific needs or preferences, such as contact lens solutions or feminine hygiene products, make sure to pack them as well.

Tech Kit 

Make sure to bring chargers for all your electronic devices, including your phone, laptop, and camera. It's also a good idea to pack a portable charger or power bank in case you don't have access to an outlet. Additionally, consider bringing a universal adapter if you're traveling internationally to ensure your chargers will work with different types of outlets.

A portable power bank can also be a lifesaver when you're on the go and your phone battery is running low. You should prepare a high capacity so you can charge your devices multiple times before needing to recharge the power bank itself. It's also important to check that the power bank is compatible with your devices and has the necessary charging cables included. 

Apparel and Accessories

Comfortable and versatile clothing

When choosing clothing, you should select items that are comfortable and versatile, such as basic t-shirts, jeans, and leggings. These pieces can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Look for materials that are breathable and easy to care for, especially if you plan on traveling. If you want to wear something distinctive that is also straightforward and appropriate for any situation, you can buy a custom t-shirt with a unique design or your photo printed on it. Accessories like scarves, hats, and jewelry can also add a pop of style to any outfit.

Sun protection gear

Don't forget to pack a hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes from harmful UV rays. If you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors, consider bringing along a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt or cover-up to shield your skin from the sun. 

 Swimwear and beach accessories

If you're planning to go to a beach destination, don't forget to pack your favorite swimsuit and beach towel. You can also buy our custom beach short or custom beach towel to add a personal touch to your beach look. Other beach accessories like flip flops, rattan round bag, or a waterproof phone case can also come in handy.

Especially, don’t forget to pack travel-sized versions of your favorite shampoo, conditioner, and soap to keep your hair and skin clean and refreshed on vacation. It's also important to pack deodorant and fragrance. Choose a travel-sized option to save space in your luggage. Additionally, if you're traveling to a hot and humid destination, consider bringing along some talcum powder to keep sweat at bay.
