Pack less, travel more relaxed
The same question arises before every trip:
Have I thought of everything?
Long lists quickly accumulate – and even more quickly, an overstuffed suitcase.
This also applies when traveling:
Fewer things mean more peace and quiet.
This travel checklist will help you prepare well –
without overwhelming you.
The foundation of every journey: Overview
Before you pack things, get clear.
It is helpful to know:
-
Consciously define the destination and duration of the trip
-
Consider means of transport
-
Briefly consider the accommodation
This creates a basis on which decisions can be made more easily.
Documents & Organization
These are things you should have within easy reach:
-
ID card / passport
-
Tickets or booking confirmations
-
means of payment
-
important phone numbers
-
Travel insurance (if relevant)
👉 Ideally in a fixed location , digital or physical.
Clothing – reduced price, but still suitable
Clothing is often the biggest stress factor when packing.
It is helpful to know:
-
focus on combinable parts
-
Better to have a few favorite pieces.
-
Assess the weather realistically
For most trips, this is sufficient:
-
Daywear
-
convenient reserve
-
something warm
-
Nightwear
That's rarely all you need.
Hygiene & personal essentials
What matters here is:
-
Toothbrush & Care Products
-
Medications
-
small travel first-aid kit
-
personal must-haves
Travel sizes help save space and weight.
Technology & Being on the Go
Depending on the type of travel, this may be useful:
-
Smartphone & charger
-
headphones
-
Power bank
-
Adapter (for international travel)
Everything else is optional.
Keeping your luggage organized
Good organization saves time and stress on the go.
Helpful options include:
-
clear subdivisions
-
designated places for things
-
clear packing
This is how you find what you need – without searching.
What you usually don't need
Many things can safely stay at home:
-
"For all occasions" outfits
-
duplicate products
-
heavy extras
-
unplanned ride
Confidence in one's own preparation is relaxing.
