Frequently Asked Questions
How is this packing list personalized?
We generate your list based on your destination climate, trip duration, accommodation type and luggage allowance. Different climates and situations require very different items.
What does "Buy After Arrival" mean?
Some items are cheaper, easier to find, or unnecessary to bring from home. We mark these so you pack lighter and purchase locally.
How far in advance should I pack?
Start your packing list 2-3 weeks before departure. This gives you time to buy missing items and avoid last-minute stress.
What if I forget something?
Most essentials are available at your destination. Focus on documents, medications and items hard to find locally.
