Have you ever forgotten to pack something in your suitcase for your trip? Never again, if you use my packing essentials checklist! I recommend you save this onto your phone, so you can check off as you go; if you have an iPhone, the Notes app is a great tool for this. Not all items may apply to you, so pick and choose what you need. If you have a Notion account, you can duplicate and save my Notion template containing the checklist.
