Canopy of Stars Travel by Jessie

✈️💡 Travel Tip: When packing for a luxury vacation, focus on versatile clothing that can be dressed up or down. 👗🕶️ Opt for neutral colors and classic styles that can easily be accessorized for different occasions.

Some staples in my recent Mediterranean cruise were: flowy skirt, linen pants, neutral t-shirts & tanks!

This approach not only saves space in your luggage but also ensures you’re prepared for a variety of settings, from upscale dinners to casual excursions. Additionally, don’t forget to pack a small travel kit with essentials like sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and travel-sized toiletries.

What’s your packing strategy for a stylish and stress-free trip?

Travel Tip Tuesday

When traveling internationally, it’s a good idea to have a small amount of local currency for small purchases and tips.

💵🌍 Although credit cards are widely accepted, cash is useful for local markets, smaller shops, and tips. To avoid any issues, notify your bank of your travel plans to prevent your cards from being flagged for suspicious activity.

Additionally, consider using a travel-friendly credit card with no foreign transaction fees to save on international purchases.
