Passports

Do you have a passport? If yes, you can skip this. If not, please don’t delay in applying for one! The process can take some time, so it’s best to get started as soon as possible.

Note: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after our travel dates. If it’s set to expire within that time frame, you'll need to renew it before traveling.

UK Travel Alert:

If you’re traveling to the UK at any point, please note that starting January 8, 2025, US citizens need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to enter the UK for short visits (tourism or business). It’s simple—just download the UK ETA app, complete the application, and pay the $10 fee. There is currently an exemption for layovers in UK airports where you don’t go through border control, but it’s best to check with your airline to confirm you’re not required to get the ETA for your trip.

Favorite International Travel Items

For those of you traveling internationally for the first time (or even those who have, but are looking for a few helpful tips!) here's a list of our favorite travel items. These are a mix of "nice to haves" and "must haves" that I think will make your trip smoother!

International Power Adapter -A must-have for charging. This one has all the country plugs plus USB & USB-C ports.

Compression Packing Cubes - This is by far my favorite travel item. I have shared these with many of you already, but I LOVE my packing compression cubes. They can fit many items and will save a lot of space in your suitcase.

Tide Liquid Travel Sink Packets - Perfect for doing light laundry while traveling, especially for those wine stains

Oh and don’t forget a Tide To Go pen as well!

Travel Pill Organizer - If you are trying to save space, this pill organizer is the perfect size to bring the medications or vitamins you need without carrying multiple bottles!

Airfly Adapter- If you have wireless headphones, this adapter will let you use them with in-flight entertainment. (Worth the splurge!)

Travel Blanket/Pillow- I never fly without my own! It’s soft, doubles as a pillow, and clips onto your bag for convenience.

Travel Bottles Set - Even with a checked bag, I recommend this for packing your skincare and toiletries efficiently.

Airtag- Keep track of your luggage with ease!
