Travel Essentials!

Whenever I travel, there are always a few things I never leave home without. They help keep me organized and allow me to make the most of my adventures. Whether it's hiking in South America, to the beaches of the Caribbean or sightseeing in Europe, never leave home without these essentials in your suitcase!

• A camera--the best way to document your trip for years to come. When you get home, make prints of the pictures and use them to make a collage!
• Your passport (and some extra passport photos!)--Hold on to your passport and keep it safe. You wouldn't want to get stuck halfway across the world!
• Comfortable shoes--if you're like me, your days will be jam-packed full of museum trips, hikes, and afternoons spent simply exploring the area on foot. Travel prepared for lots of walking and leave the heels and super cute (but also super uncomfortable!) shoes at home.
• A light jacket or sweatshirt--it may be summer in Madrid, but sometimes museums and restaurants can get a bit chilly. 
• An excited and enthusiastic attitude--get excited about your trip!

I hope this gives you some food for thought as you pack for your next adventure! Don't forget to plan ahead and always label your luggage!
