The Things you Must Bring on a Summer Vacation

I’ve previously shared my packing essentials (I even have one specifically for womxn), the things you need for every trip you go on. But there are other things you must bring depending on your destination, the weather there, and what you plan to do during your trip. Beyond the obvious things like your identification (passport, driver’s license, vaccination, required travel documents, etc.), clothes, basic toiletries, electronics and some form of currency, here are the things you must bring on a summer vacation. 

SPF

Waterproof phone case

A Bathing Suit (or two, or three!)

Flip Flops

Wide-brimmed Hat

Sunglasses (though I’ll argue that you need these year-round)

Some kind of bathingsuit coverup

Thick plastic bags or some sort of bathing suit bag so you can pack your wet suit for the trip home!

Now all you need to do is be prepared for those post-vacation blues. But don’t worry, I also share tips on how to handle the inevitable let down here! And if you want to grab that packing list I mentioned above, make sure you enter in your info below to download it!
