As we head into the summer, travel awaits. Every trip is different, and it can be hard to condense a packing list. So we created a list of the 5 most important items to pack for any travel, from camping trips to adventures abroad. These items are not always easy to find or buy once traveling, making them more important to procure and pack ahead of the trip. These vital travel companions are necessities for comfort, cleanliness, and security.
The 5 Items to Pack for Any Vacation
1. Reusable Water Bottle
Staying hydrated during travel is critical to feeling good and staying healthy. A reusable water bottle makes it easy to drink water or any liquid. Plus, it is eco-friendly, conserving waste from buying bottles of water or other liquids. This reusable water bottle is a favorite because it is easy to carry and extremely durable. For extra hydration, include a few electrolyte packs.
2. Comfortable Shoes
To maximize your travel experience, it is essential to be comfortable walking long distances. Ensure you have a suitable pair of walking shoes. Additionally, consider wearing them on the airplane to save space in your luggage. We recently discovered Saysh, founded by Olympian Allyson Felix, and are loving her everyday, multipurpose shoe. We are all about a shoe created for women by a woman.
3. Travel-Size Non-Toxic Cleaning Products
To ease the stress of travel, carry travel-size hand soap, dish soap, and multipurpose cleaning spray. Wipe airplane trays, clean surfaces, and maintain Airbnb cleanliness like home. L’AVANT Collective offers the ultimate mini travel bundle for on-hand convenience.
Whether you’re spraying down surfaces, washing dishes, or washing your hands (again!) to keep those germs at bay, these natural formulas will be gentle on your skin but tough on dirt and grime. It’s a win-win for your vacation!
Added bonus: carry your own travel-size high-performing laundry detergent. L'Avant's award-winning laundry detergent formula provides exceptional results in any water temperature, making it the perfect choice for travel. Keep your clothes clean and fresh with the convenient travel-size laundry packets.
4. Portable Charger
Whether we like it or not, phones are a critical tool for travel success. Phones are used for everything from boarding passes, entertainment, photos, to directions. We need them to be powered on at all times. A portable charger allows you to be out and about with a fully charged phone.
5. First Aid Kit
A small first aid kit filled with a few essentials will give you peace of mind. You can make your own or consider purchasing one from Keep Going First Aid, founded by a family that knows exactly what is needed on a trip. Take into consideration who you are traveling with, where you are going, and what you would like to have on hand. For a less adventurous trip, here are some items to consider: adhesive bandages in a few different sizes, antiseptic wipes, hydrocortisone cream (for itching, rashes, or insect bites), aloe vera for minor burns, hand sanitizer, and sunscreen.
Wherever you’re heading this summer, stash L’AVANT Collective travel-friendly cleaning products in your bag, backpack, basket, or carry-on. Trust us. You’ll be so happy you did!
