Buy a travel pack from CVS/Walgreens with smaller version of these things
- 👀Contacts & solution
- 👃Deodorant & cologne
- 👅Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss
- 💇Hair comb
- 🛁Shampoo, conditioner (use tiny containers!)
- 💤Sleeping eye mask/ear plugs
- ☀️Sunscreen
- 💊 Allergy pills/Ibuprofen/Cold medicine/Your custom medication
- if you travel a lot, it helps if you have a ready-to-go version of this bag somewhere so you don't have to always reassemble it. I also have a bag of travelling medication I always bring along because it turns out trying to get cold medicine in Dutch or Japanese is not worth it. Bring your own.
- if your flight is longer than like 5 hours, don't wear make-up on (or be ready to take it off), and bring a tiny container of moisturizer in your backpack to put on. Plane air is dry and will destroy you.
