We also have a packing list for a summer holiday. If you travelling during winter, take a look at our packing list for a 3-week winter vacation. Now, you’re down $40 out of your travel budget for something you don’t need for more than 3 weeks. If you didn’t bring one, you honestly don’t want to buy a puffy jacket just because you forgot to pack one. You don’t want to make the mistake of not bringing one at all or bringing a bulky one – we all know that jackets are notorious space eaters. This category affects massively the number of things you’ll have to pack.įor example, if you are going to a place and the weather is kind of warm but not warm enough, you need a jumper or a light jacket. Of course, knowing the weather and temperature of the destination you’re going to will help a lot. If you know that you will be visiting churches, temples, and other sacred places, a long sleeve shirt and long trousers are a must. Here is a sample: If you are planning to go hiking at 40% of the time of your trip, packing a pair of hiking shoes vs bulky noise-cancelling headphones is a no-brainer.
Are you planning to hike, go to the beach, safari, fancy dine-in experience, skiing, snorkelling, partying, attend a business meeting on the side, etc? These activities will already give you an idea of what to pack. In your itinerary, check out which activities you want to do. If you already have, that’s great if not, do a quick list following below:
Writing your travel itinerary either in detail or a simple one helps a lot in making a great list of what to pack for 3 weeks trip. Okay, that’s a confusing heading, right? The thing is there are travellers out there who like to write an itinerary and have everything planned with as many details as possible while there are people who love to wing it – I’m both! On the other hand, if you are doing lots of hiking, make a separate category for hiking tools/clothing. If you have a young child, you will have categories for baby stuff, baby food, etc. The main categories are clothing, toiletries, footwear, electronics, and documents. One thing to remember though, make sure to have separate categories. Nothing too fancy and detailed, this will help you give an overview of what to bring with you, and then you can adjust this later. Let’s create a simple packing list for your trip. Here are what I do when packing for an upcoming trip, regardless if it’s three weeks, three months, or a weekend getaway, this system work and I hope it works for you too! Get a pen and paper or your phone I have to start choosing between which clothes to bring, which shoes to pack, and how much underwear to load in the backpack – do I need a jumper? Long trousers?
Eventually, I started to have more clothes, more than a pair of shoes, and other small things in between – packing for a trip changed. However, after a while, I decided to stay in one place for longer than 3 months, and unpack my backpacks (I have two the main backpack and a small laptop bag/day pack). I arrive and leave a place with the same things in my backpack unless I throw broken stuff or very old clothes and buy a new one. Like when I don’t write my itinerary, activities I want to do, when I don’t look up the weather during my visit, and often the culprit is – I’m simply one of those travellers who have a “just in case” mindset.Īfter all these years of travelling and living on the road with my 40L backpack, you can imagine how easier it is to pack everything. I’ve been travelling since 2013, every now and then, I still make a bad decision in packing, mainly for a few reasons.
