Before anything else, you need to acquire your passport, visa and other mandatory travel documents. Then you can move on to the following items.
Trip/ Location:
Obviously, the first item you need to choose is the kind of trip you are going to have. If it’s an official trip, you would know what kind of outfits and attires you are going to need, as well as some extra clothes in case you decide to stay back to unwind.
If it’s a trip for vacation, have the appropriate clothes that the location requires. Check the forecasted weather beforehand and pack the outfits accordingly. For instance, if you are going hiking, pack sporty clothes or if you are visiting the beach, carry swimwear etc.
Luggage/ Bags:
After selecting a location, pick the most appropriate luggage which is lightweight, versatile and can fit all your essential items. Now, depending upon the kind of trip you are having and the duration of it, you may choose the apt baggage. There are a lot of options for it like rolling luggage, 4 wheels, duffle bags, backpacks, carryon luggage etc. The idea is to pack minimally but also have the items that you truly need for your trip.
