Clothing Essentials

Hi everyone! Have you ever packed your bag but forgot something important—like your charger? Yes! I’ve done that too. Lesson learned!

I usually pack: A tank top, Shorts, A sundress, A swimsuit, Flip-flops or sandals

Please remember: Less is more. Don’t pack too much!

Some people pack too many clothes “just in case.” Please avoid overpacking. You’ll end up with a heavy bag that’s hard to carry and you probably won’t wear everything.

Please remember: Choose light layers and mix-and-match outfits. For example: One sundress for day and night

Tip: Flip-flops are more comfortable than sneakers at the beach.

Toiletries

Let’s move on to toiletries—your personal care items. I always bring: Sunscreen, Shampoo, Toothbrush, Razor, Hairbrush. Please avoid bringing full-sized liquids.

Please remember: Zip up your bag tightly so nothing spills.

Tips: 1. Use travel-sized containers and pack them in a clear, zip-top bag. ; 2. Always use a checklist before you pack. Better safe than sorry!

Packing Hacks

Now let’s talk smart packing. Here’s a great trick: roll up your clothes to save space and prevent wrinkles.

You can also use: 1. Packing cubes to separate items; 2. Shoe bags to keep clothes clean; 3. Laundry bags for dirty clothes

Please remember: Pack smart, not heavy.

Tip: Organise your suitcase with small bags or sections so that you can find what you quickly. A place for everything, and everything in its place.

Weather

Now, before packing anything, please check the weather.

If it’s sunny and humid, please bring: 1. A sunhat; 2. Sunglasses; 3. A breathable T-shirt

If it might rain, please pack: 1. A lightweight jacket; 2. A small umbrella

Please remember: Always check the weather mobile application for your destination and pack accordingly. You’ll not end up wet, sunburned or freezing.

Just-in-Case Kit

It’s always smart to bring a few emergency items. Here’s my “just-in-case” kit: 1. Band-aids; 2. Pain relievers; 3. Bug spray; 4. Power bank; 5. Travel adapter; 6. Tissues

Please remember: Keep these in a small, easy-to-reach bag. It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Final Check & Wrap-Up

Before you zip up your bag, lay everything out one last time.

Final Checklist: 1. Clothes; 2. Toiletries; 3. Weather gear; 4. Emergency kit; 5. Travel documents; 6. Charger

Now I’m ready for the beach and I hope you’re ready to speak better English and pack like a professional! Comment below: What’s something you always forget to pack?
