Carry On Essentials for International Travel A well-packed carry on is essential to the experience, just like a well-planned trip. I’m a firm believer that a great trip begins before you ever leave home, so making the necessary preparations allows you to begin your journey a little more relaxed and ready for the adventure ahead! I’ve learned a lot through trial and error over the years, and it all comes down to three categories: * Organization * Comfort * Use These categories are a great starting point for determining what you should and should not pack in your carry-on; if it does not fall into one of these categories, it may not need to come. One essential I never travel without, is my Battery Pack!! When I’m traveling, my phone dies so quickly, but I’m taking photos, listening to audiobooks on the plane, accessing my travel itinerary, and posting on Instagram, so a backup battery is essential to avoid the panic of low power mode… particularly when traveling solo. I always travel with my Anker Portable Charger but here are some options to choose from.  Check-out my website journal for the full list and links! LTKeurope LTKtravel
