I love to travel. And when the majority of your luggage contains camera gear, batteries, chargers, and more... You learn to get creative with your remaining baggage. All in all, I've developed a few tips for your travel bags, especially if you're going international.

No matter where you are going in the world, if it is less than a month, my opinion is that you can go there with carry on only. It just takes some letting go of items you think you need, that you don't, and some amazing bags. Regardless if you want to check a bag or not, this blog will certainly offer some tips.

COMPRESSION BAGS TO SAVE SPACE

I like to pack with a stuff-sack, or a few manual vacuum seal or compression bags. Be sure they are manual seal (you roll and press to eliminate air, and don't need an actual vaccuum so you can re-pack for the way back home).  Both of these can compress an amazing amount of clothing. In a trip I took to Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen where it was quite cold, we were able to put into one medium stuff sack: two pairs of winter “snow/ski” pants, three base layer long sleeve shirts, two pairs of base layer pants and a winter jacket. In a compression sack, we put our winter ski coats. And there was still about half of the suitcase of space left, and this was an airline regulation carry-on size suitcase (22x9x12”). Both stuff sacks and compression bags can be found in places like REI, or anywhere selling travel gear (online of course as well).  Side note, if packing sunglasses remember a sunglasses case so they don't get broken. I also suggest not packing any expensive jewelry. I accidentally left my makeup/jewelry bag behind in security once in Paris, when they emptied and searched my bag. (Fun fact, a friend traveling through Paris a month later was able to retrieve it for me in lost and found!) I had a few pieces of special jewelry in there, so ever since I will only travel with cheap items I don't mind if lost or broken.

BACKPACK

Purchase a good backpack that will be your daily bag to go out & about on your trip. This can be your personal item on the airplane, but once you arrive you can unpack and use it for daily hikes and walks around town in lieu of a purse. It is amazing how much can fit into a bookbag, which is your second bag/carry on. We purchased one that has a lot of external pockets and straps so we were able to attach a pair of tennis shoes and a tripod onto the outside of the bag, so these bulky items do not need to take up room in your suitcase. Which brings me to my next point. Brands I have experience putting through all sorts of terrain and weather and also very comfortable - North Face and Kelty

SHOES

Don't get carried away. You need 1-2 pairs of shoes, max. If you are going to one climate, a single pair of shoes will get you there fine. If you are going to be hiking then you need your second pair (ie: hiking sandals like keens or boots). However if it is a warm climate, wear a pair of sandals on the plane and don't worry about any other pairs. Even if you think you might hit the gym while there and want those running shoes, chances are that space in your bag is better suited for extra underwear. Long story short... try to wear your single pair of shoes on the plane, and if you need a second pair, make sure they pack flat like the new “barefoot running shoes” that are out – they are extremely thin and light. If you are packing boots - wear those on the plane, pack the smaller pair.

CLOTHING

Keep it simple. Keep it simple. Layers that can be mixed and matched are ideal. Do not pack outfits, chances are you wont want to wear that exact outfit on the day you are there anyway. For two weeks in a climate of approx 50-60 degrees I would suggest (for a female): 4 tshirts, 5 tank tops, pair of jeans, a long skirt (this is versatile for a warmer day), 2 blouse type shirts you could wear to a restaurant, a light fashionable scarf (this can really dress up a tshirt and jeans), a fleece or jacket (wear on the plane to save space since this is a thicker item) and some cheap jewelry (again to dress up a basic outfit) that you don't mind if gets lost or broken. Honestly no one there knows you or will know you are wearing the same jeans over and over. If possible, do laundry. Always travel with a bit of clothing soap to do laundry in the tub if you need to (just hang on the shower rod or on a hotel balcony to dry). When you're at home and you see all the options in your closet that you'd like to take – resist the urge. Once you're there you will be so happy that you have less to choose from and less to carry around.

FOLD UP TOTE - A SIMPLE BUT NECESSARY ITEM!

A fold-up tote bag. I got one free at a trade show once, which was the best piece of swag ever. It folds up to the size of about my hand, so I carry it on my outside backpack pocket, easy to grab as needed. Once I get onto the gangway to enter the airplane, I pop it open and take out my items to have in my seat with me on the plane – like phone, mp3 player, kindle, boarding pass, book, bottle of water, snack, ipad, neck pillow. All other items stay safely in my padded “expensive” backpack and will go under the seat in front of me on the plane or the overhead bin and hopefully wont need to dig into it the whole flight. I prefer the overhead bin if there is not a full flight, and there is room for both my backpack and suitcase up top so my feet have stretching space. Remember I'm doing all carry-on, so my suitcase is in the overhead bin. (thus those are my two allowed carry-ons). The tote bag isn't really counted as a third carry-on bag if you are unpacking items from your bag into that for just during the flight. I also love it for items acquired along the way, like a bottle of water, a muffin, a magazine purchased at the newsstand. As you discard these items your tote will empty itself and eventually you can fold it back up and it disappears. Also very handy to have for shopping in markets, especially for European travel, where they are not giving you a plastic bag with every fruit or souvenir purchase. So my fold-up tote becomes a very, very valuable item the entire trip.

BAGS FOR AIRPORT TRAVEL

I like to wear a really flat, small purse on my body – one that crosses over me with a long strap. The one I have has several pockets. I keep my wallet, money, plane information, boarding pass, and passport in it. This way it never leaves my body during transit. Important items like this you can't pick up along the way like losing a tube of toothpaste. This same concept could be applied to a waist belt (fanny pack) or pockets in your jacket. Just be careful if you take that jacket off, don't forget it at the gate waiting area! In short, I like these important items ON my body in some way. Make sure this small bag can fit into one of your carry on items, as some airlines will ask you to combine all bags together when entering the corridor to the plane and giving your boarding pass. Once you pass there, you can take it back out. (they like to see that you do in fact have only one personal item)

PACK SNACKS!

Airport food is crazy expensive. Pack snacks like trail mix and granola bars before leaving your house. You can't bring liquid drinks through security but bring all the snacks you want. (don't bring fruits or veggies if going international) When you're on a plane and hungry, it will help you avoid a $10 candy bar purchase. Packs of EmergenC are nice to have (flavors water & has vitamins) - they are great for adding to plain water along your trip when you're considering a more expensive drink purchase. 

No one wants to pay for expensive bottles of water at the airport, so don't forget to bring your own reusable water bottle. You will empty it before you go through security, however some airports have water filling stations or water fountains where you can fill the bottle with free filtered water!

SECURITY

Liquids in security... I'm sure most of us are aware now... They must be in small ziplocks and nothing over 3.4 oz, this even includes gel deodorant. Its best anyway, you don't want the extra weight or size of large bottles in your bag. Check the country you will be flying into if international, to see if different rules to follow on this when you arrive and come back. For example, the last time I flew through London, all bottles had to fit into ONE plastic bag which they provided. What didn't fit was thrown away.

AIRPLANE LIST

Travel items to pick up for the airplane... A few LiquidIV packs *or similar brand* - these are powder electrolyte packs, very small to carry and can add to your water. This helps tremendously on travel days and on flights with dry air for hydration.  Moisturizer to use on your face, and one for hands as well. The airplane air is very dry, you'll want to reapply on long flights. A travel neck pillow – I like the blow up ones (again, found mine at REI) because off the plane I can deflate it and it disappears into my bag. Or, the new neck pillows that snap in the front making a full complete circle, a donut around your neck, so you can let your head lean side or forward and it is supported.  I also like to have an eye mask, if you need to sleep during your flight. I also like to double this use for the hotel, especially if I am changing several time zones and need to sleep midday when I arrive in my hotel room. Very useful when you aren't sure how dark your room will be.  Don't forget hand sanitizer, use it often throughout the airport and on plane. I like the ones that have a rubber hanging strap, and keep it on the outside of my personal bag. Accessible is key. Also suggest packing sanitizing wipes for the tray table and the seat, buckle, and to take with you to the plane bathroom. Small notebook and pen is always nice to have, thoughts come flooding to me when I'm on a plane - ideas, things I want to do, etc. It also is nice to have something to doodle if you've run out of entertainment and tired of podcasts. A mask is smart to have as well, if you are traveling especially during flu season. I have never used one, but a foot hammock like this one is recommended for people with short legs. Read the Amazon reviews to see what people are saying, maybe it will work for you! And lastly, I like to get a "freshened up" feeling while flying. So I like to have baby wipes to wash my face, and have a fresh pair of socks with me on the plane, sometimes it feels really good to change them mid-flight when going far distances. (want to feel extra fresh? pack a fresh pair of underwear in your personal bag too!)

TRAVEL JOURNAL

I love to journal along the way. A diary of sorts, but for more than just documenting what I've done on the trip.  I do that, sure. But I actually like it for a reference tool while traveling. I highly suggest getting a few Moleskin journals – they are very small and extremely thin. The ones I picked up are the exact size and thickness of my passport so I keep them together. I'll have a few of them, in different colors. I take one for tracking my budget and travel info, and one for a travel journal. For the budget/travel info-- I  write into it before I leave home – every flight #, time, airline, and confirmation number. This way its all there much faster than fumbling for my itinerary I printed from booking online or your airplane app. (you will still want these but you can keep them in your larger bag, among the rest of your items). I also write down all conversion rates, if traveling international. I usually write $1=x, $5=x, $10=x, this way I can quickly reference it while shopping abroad and know what I"m actually spending. Some currencies can be very confusing, like 5000 for an apple?! Wait.. that only equates to $1.00.  I also track my budget along the way, its easy to get carried away with spending when you're on vacation cloud nine. Tracking it keeps me in check.  And finally, I use the other moleskin for a personal journal of my travel - things I've done, seen, tasted, and want to remember.   I think adding a list of things you want to see on the trip is good to add to your journal before you leave as well - its easy to forget when you arrive there, all the amazing things you wanted to experience there.

MEDS

Meds... Obviously don't forget your daily meds or vitamins. Then in addition to that - remember you may come down with a basic cold or symptoms you want immediate relief for. You don't need to go overboard, but a few tablets of the following are good – dramamine, tylenol or advil, anti-diarrhea, tums, children's tylenol, aspirin, and ginger candy (it instantly can soothe an upset stomach). Take everything out of the bottles and into tiny snack size ziplocks – label them! This will take less space than the bottles of course. Remember its all about space! Remember to include EmergenC or Airborne, and take it daily! In fact, you should be taking it at least four days prior to even leaving home.

EAR CARE FOR PLANE TRAVEL

Don't like ear popping and uncomfortable pressure in your ears?  EarPlanes are a really cool inexpensive product that help with ear pain, pressure changes, and discomfort from flying. You can download the app (works offline) which measures the pressure in the airplane, telling you when you put them in and take them out.

PRINTED PAPERWORK

Travel paperwork – be sure to have copies of all your itineraries from booking online or with airlines (car rentals, hotels, travel agent info, tour company, and flights). I also will print and carry with me a map of where I am going, hotel phone number and address, and things like cab #'s, etc. Think about this – if you have no access to your iPhone when you arrive there – what might you need? Don't rely on the modern way of thinking such as - “I'll google it when I get there.” When you arrive, your iPhone could be a dead battery or you could have no access or wifi. It happens, so be prepared. Put yourself back to pre-2000's era.  A printed list of a few translations would be helpful too, if traveling international. You should know how to ask for directions, hail a cab, ask for a telephone, etc - in the language of the country you're visiting.

POWER ADAPTERS (INTERNATIONAL)

International travelers... remember adapters for your electronics, more than one is best. There will be times when you need to plug in multiple items...you'll want to charge your laptop, phone, camera battery, and use your electric shaver at the same time. Keep in mind that many Euro hotels have a system for saving energy and when you leave your room, your electric will turn off unless you keep your room key in the key slot by the door – so if you need to charge items while out of the room, you'll want to have a second room key in that slot to keep your electric on. *learned this the hard way :)

ELECTRONIC CHECK LIST

If you plan to transfer your photos as you travel to backup - you'll want your laptop, laptop cord, a backup hard drive or flash drive for photos, and memory card reader. For just general photography the list is simply - memory cards, camera, battery for camera, AA batteries if needed, charger for camera battery, lenses, lens caps. For more tech suggestions, see the bottom of this blog.

PASSPORT SAFETY

As a safety precaution – because although it hasn't happened to me, its happened to a friend, take a paper copy of your passport in case of theft.  I take two copies - one I keep hidden inside the liner of my suitcase and one buried in my backpack. That way if a piece of luggage is lost or stolen with the passport, I have a copy in the other.  If you need it in an unfortunate situation – the process for getting your passport replaced and returning home on time will be somewhat easier. You also could just carry a photo of it on your phone, but I always like a paper copy in case your purse (including your phone and passport) are stolen together. Chances are your large suitcase isn't the item stolen, which is why I keep it there. You should also photocopy the front and back of all credit cards you are taking with you but you could leave them at home with a family member or friend, if needed you can call them for the information.

PASSPORT

Going international? Remember to be sure your passport is valid for 6 months after your travel dates! Travelers should ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their planned departure date from a foreign country to avoid unexpected travel disruptions. This rule is implemented to ensure that travelers will not face issues with passport expiration while abroad. The rule varies by country, but it generally applies worldwide. Notable exceptions exist for the Schengen Area, where some countries only require the passport to be valid for the duration of the stay. Travelers should verify specific entry requirements for each destination to avoid disruptions.

JET LAG 

Flying to a time zone more than 3 hours change in either direction? Start prepping your body 48 hours before flying. Rick Steves' genius tip I picked up on and agree wholeheartedly! For example, when I am traveling to Europe I will be doing a red-eye (overnight) flight leaving the east coast around 6-8pm, arriving my destination at 9-10am. The flight is around 8-9 hrs and a 6 hr time change. This means, if I am lucky enough to get decent sleep on the plane, it won't be more than a few hours at best. I can't sleep in uncomfortable positions very well, and my normal bedtime is around midnight so the first 6 hrs of a 9 hr flight, I won't really be that tired. So on my first day of the trip, I really don't like to be falling asleep at 4pm.  So if possible, begin training your body for sleep at home a few days before you leave. Take into account if going east to Europe, therefore moving forward in time, or if you are going west such as a trip to Hawaii and gaining time in the day as you travel. Either way, its a difficult transition to your body and no way to fully prepare to avoid it - but a little preparation can help. Here are some tips to help.

 

1. Shift Your Schedule Ahead of Time (If You Can)

Start adjusting your sleep schedule 3–5 days before the trip:

  • Heading East (e.g., US → Europe): Go to bed and wake up earlier each day.

  • Heading West (e.g., Europe → US): Go to bed and wake up later each day.

  • Even a 1–2 hour shift helps.


2. Choose the Right Flight Timing

  • A true red-eye that lets you land in the morning local time is ideal if you can sleep on the plane.

  • Avoid connections that leave you stranded in a weird half-sleep schedule.


3. Optimize Sleep on the Plane

Make it as easy as possible to sleep:

  • Neck pillow, sleep mask, earplugs or noise-canceling headphones

  • Dress comfortably—layers are best.

  • Consider using a sleep aid (melatonin 1–3mg is mild and works for many)


 4. Use Light to Your Advantage

Light controls your body clock. Use it smartly:

  • After landing:

    • If traveling east, get morning sun to shift your clock earlier.

    • If traveling west, get afternoon/evening sun to shift your clock later.

  • Use blue light blocking glasses at the wrong time to avoid staying "stuck" on your old time.


 5. Eat on Destination Time

  • Start eating as if you're already in the destination time zone on the plane.

  • Avoid snacks/meals at weird hours—even if the airline offers food at 2am.


 6. Stay Hydrated

  • Dehydration worsens jet lag.

  • Bring your own water bottle and sip consistently.

  • Avoid caffeine late in the flight (it can disrupt your arrival sleep).


7. Move Around After Arrival

  • Do light exercise (walk or stretch) soon after you land.

  • It helps reset your internal clock and boosts circulation.


8. Don’t Nap More Than 20–30 Minutes

If you're exhausted upon arrival, a short power nap is okay, but:

  • Set a timer.

  • Nap before 2pm local time or you’ll mess up your night sleep.


Quick Example:

Flying from LAX to London (8-hour jump, overnight flight)

  • Start going to bed 30–60 min earlier a few days before.

  • On the plane: sleep as much as possible.

  • Land at 10am local time: get outside in the daylight immediately.

  • No naps longer than 20 minutes.

  • Stay up until at least 9–10pm local time.

CREDIT CARDS

Notify your credit card provider before traveling out of state anywhere and your phone service provider (if going international) of your travel, location, and dates! Your international phone service may need to be activated, inquire about pricing per day or week.

Also - This service was highly recommended to me by another international traveler for going to Europe -

 eSIM Europe | Best eSIM with Unlimited Data Plans
 They will provide instructions on the phone settings necessary to use this for data in lieu of your carrier.

EXERCISES DURING TRAVEL

I find that neck and TMJ tightness is really common when traveling, so I highly recommend this video by Adam Fields. He has a followup to this video as well (version 2), as well as eye strain videos, headache relief, etc. His videos are very helpful after a long flight.

Speaking of body pains - compression sleeves for a knee, shoulder, or plantar fasciitis are helpful. I also think gel insoles for shoes can be helpful, as well as anything that aids a common problem you think could pop up on your body, such as blisters if you are prone to those after hiking.

If you are road tripping, don't forget your pillow from home. But if you are flying and can't pack your pillow, but prefer a more ergonomic style to sleep on, you can roll up a hotel towel to put under your neck. There are some articles like this one about making a DIY cervical roll.

CLEAR YOUR PHONE & DOWNLOAD GPS TRACKING APPS

Clear phone space & backup before leaving. Make sure your phone has ample space - at least 4 gb of space free so you can take a lot of photos and videos. Also, backup your phone before you leave so in case you have the unfortunate circumstance of losing your phone, you can come home and install your backup on a new phone to be back up and running, and you didn't lose precious memories or information.  I also use my phone editor app to add my husband's cell number to the photo I have on my lock screen as my emergency contact. I was once in an airport and found someone's found - I had no idea who to get it back to. But if she had "Emergency contact {name} {number}" in text over that photo of her and her kids on the lock screen, I could have called or texted her husband to find her.  If you are comfortable with location services on, a lot of people like to use apps like "Find my iPhone" to track their phone if it is lost. This also doubles as a gps on your body, if your family wants to track where you are at. I also know women who have GPS jewelry, which is discreet and they feel safer when traveling with it on.

DOWNLOAD MEDIA

Download media for the plane that you can use in airplane mode. Movies, podcasts, and music that is actually loaded to your phone and not needing to be accessed through a streaming service.

BATTERY LIFE

Finally, here are some tech solutions for backing up photos and extra battery life on the go! The section below is with a little help from ChatGPT, these are not products I have used but are highly recommended online. 

 

 

Technology Suggestions


Photo Backup

Backing up photos along the way is a good idea if you plan to take a lot of photos or be gone for a long time. Here are some options to consider:


No Backup Option

You can choose not to back up anything and just shoot on your memory cards. As each card fills up:

  • Take it out and keep it in a safe place

  • Insert a new memory card

  • Be sure to bring extra memory cards so you have more than enough storage.


For Those Only Using Their Phone for Photos:

  • Utilize your cloud upload feature.

  • Important: Do this only in Wi-Fi zones and avoid uploading while using mobile data during your day travels.


For Those Using a Camera with Memory Card:

  • If you bring a laptop, remember to bring your memory card reader to transfer your photos from the card.


Other Options:

There are several products online that backup your photos to a separate device. Although I can’t personally vouch for these, they have high ratings. I suggest doing your own research on these options before deciding. Featured products are as follows.
