Whether you’re on a trip around the world or your next holiday, a packing list helps to ensure that you’ve got everything you need. Here’s a checklist of the most important items to pack in your backpack or suitcase.
ID, cash and credit card: these usually get you a long way. The thought ‘if I forget something, I can buy it in store’ may be reassuring. Depending on the trip, however, it’s not always that easy and it’s often more convenient just to have everything with you. That’s why we’ve compiled a comprehensive packing list for you here, meaning you’ll be equipped for your next long trip, but you’ll also have everything you need for city breaks or summer holidays.
