Travel Tips for Single Women: How to Pack for Your Next Trip

Travel Tips for Single Women: How to Pack for Your Next Trip

It’s vital as a woman to make sure we are prepared. It’s in our nature. Our anxiety is usually not so much about the Trip as it is if we are prepared. I like to compare packing as to going into combat.  What will I need? Who will I encounter? What events? Weather?  Outfits! It’s enough to drive me crazy. I have developed some packing tips for the woman who loves to travel.  Here are the tips to help you pack and feel prepared for wherever the journey may take you.

10 Packing & Travel Tips for Single Women

1. Travel Plans/Itinerary
   Organization is the key to efficient traveling. With organizations such as Women Traveling the World you can be confident your itinerary and travel accommodations and preparations are streamlined and packaged.
2. Weather
   Check weather the week before you travel and follow predictions for the week of travel. This helps with wardrobe choices and accessories.
3. Wardrobe
   Pack 2-3 outfits per travel day. One for day/night and an optional if you aren’t in the mood for either. If you are adventurous make sure to pack appropriate clothes for activities. ALWAYS travel with a pair of sneakers. Sightseeing and exploring requires a lot of walking.
