The top 20 tips for stress-free travel preparation

Good preparation is essential

It's almost that time again, the long-awaited vacation is just around the corner and you can't wait to leave everyday life behind.
The saying " Anticipation is the greatest joy " can easily be pushed aside by the stress of preparation. To prevent this from happening and ensure you're optimally prepared, I've compiled the most important preparation tips for you:

To avoid a stressful start to your holiday on the day of departure, we will come straight to:

Tip 1:

You should check in advance how you'll get to the airport or train station, or what the route will be if you're driving. Allow enough time as a buffer, as traffic jams or cancellations can always occur.

Tip 2:

To avoid dying of thirst or hunger, buy some provisions the day before.

Tip 3:

Traveling often requires an early start, so go to bed early the day before. If you're sensitive to light and want to sleep during your trip, remember to bring a sleep mask and a small pillow.

The luggage

Beforehand, you should consider whether you would prefer to work with a Suitcase or with a travel bag want to travel. :

For a car trip, a leather travel bag is a good choice, as the softer material makes it easier to store and adjust in the trunk. For a flight or a trip that involves a lot of walking, a suitcase is more suitable thanks to its wheels.

The most important thing: What do I wear and what do I take with me? – The clothing problem

We've put together a few tips and tricks to help you pack for your next trip as easily as possible:

Tip 6:

To avoid packing too much clothing and to be better prepared, checking the weather forecast can make packing easier.

Tip 7:

Even if you're going on a summer vacation, it can quickly get cold on the train or plane, so simply put on your warm clothes for the journey. This way, you'll save on weight right away.

Tip 8:

Lay out your clothes in advance so that you can wash dirty clothes in an emergency.

Tip 9:

If you don't like wearing clothes at home, you won't wear them on vacation either. Just leave them at home ;-).

Tip 10:

Often you don't need more clothes for a longer trip than for a week.


What else you should think about when packing:

Tip 11:

Shoes are usually the bulkiest items, so to make the most of this lost space, you can store your socks inside them. Don't forget to pack your shoes in bags so your clothes aren't already dirty before your vacation.

Tip 12:

You should also pack liquids in bags, as shampoo can easily spill while traveling. It's a good idea to take one or two extra bags with you, as they're also handy for dirty laundry.

Tip 13:

Speaking of liquids: Many products are available in sample packs or small travel-sized packs. This saves you space and also reduces your luggage weight.

Tip 14:

If you're traveling abroad for a summer vacation, you should bring enough sunscreen with you, as it's often more expensive abroad than in Germany, and you don't want your freshly acquired tan to be replaced by a sunburn.

Tip 15:

Just to be safe, pack essential medications, as well as disinfectant and bandages. Make copies of your personal documents in case they get stolen (passport, ID card, vaccination records, etc.). If it really matters and you need to find them quickly, it's important that you remember where you packed them.

Cosmetic bags are ideal for storing them together.

Tip 16:

In addition to your travel luggage, don't forget your bag for when you get there. Think about what you want to experience at your destination and whether you would prefer a Backpack or a bag (a large bag can also be used as hand luggage), but maybe you also need a smaller or chic one such as a leather clutch for the evening?

For the trip:

Tip 17:

If you're not the bag-carrying type, suitcases are not only practical for longer trips, but are also becoming increasingly popular as carry-on luggage for flights. This can help keep your valuables organized and safe.

Tip 18:

Very important! You should always carry your valuables with you, or at least in the Handbag or in Stow hand luggage .

Tip 19:

And finally, something we often forget: charging cables for our mobile phones, laptops, or cameras!

Tip 20:

To ensure you can actually charge your electronic devices, you can find out in advance whether you might need a power adapter. For longer trips, it's also a good idea to bring a power bank.

I hope I was able to help you a little with your preparation.

Wishing you a relaxing holiday,
