A carry-on bag should contain everything you need to create a home away from home. It can be tough to travel light because of so many "What If…" situations that might pop up, but as long as you stick to the essentials, you’ll have everything right at your fingertips.
A large and comfortable bag is the most important thing. Bring snacks that will keep your energy up, but make sure they're not the messy kind. Who wants to deal with crumbs or sticky fingers while traveling? A refillable water bottle will come in handy during your entire vacation. You can easily throw the bottle into your bag and stay hydrated on the go.
Don't forget to keep your health in mind. From antibacterial wipes to mild pain relievers to tissues, make sure you pack what you need. If you wear glasses or contacts, keep an extra pair of eyewear with you just in case. A light change of clothes or a sweater for the plane will ensure you’re comfortable.
And remember, all of your items must comply with TSA regulations, so be sure to check out my video tip on getting through security!
