It’s important to note, our travel checklist is a general guideline of essentials for weekend away trips. For a list that works for you, try prioritising your essentials by analysing the activities you'll be doing while you’re gone.

If you're heading to a beach for two days of non-stop sunbathing, pack a small-sized SPF30 - 50 sun lotion. If you're going for a long-distance hike, remember to pack insect spray in your carry-on bag.
