Last year, I traveled more than I have ever before, and I'm trying to manifest that same energy for 2024. I love to travel and find going to new places so exciting. You get to experience what it would be like if you chose to live in a different city for a while, you get to leave your problems at home, and you get to wear all of your favorite wardrobe pieces you've been saving for a great vacation. I mean, what's not to love? The key to great trips, however, is planning well and packing strategically. You want to make sure you're bringing the right things and are thinking about what you will actually need and use on your trip, not what you might have a last-minute urge to wear.
With all of the traveling I've done, I have gotten pretty good at packing smart, but that's not without help from some travel essentials fromReplica Store and Amazon that I swear by. Since I want to make sure your travels go as smoothly as possible you save yourself from overpacking unnecessary items, I've rounded up the travel essentials that have changed the game for me.
