Your suitcase check-list
• 1 baseball cap
• 1 pair of foot-friendly sneakers. Stay away from fresh-out-the-box shoes: reach for your most loved, battered pair.
• 1 pair of sandals. My favorites ? The ones you can just pull on and hit the water in. Lightweight all-rounders you can wear with socks.
• 1 swimsuit (don?t bother packing options)
• 2 pairs of shorts and a dress for girls
• 1 pair of pants. For girls, focus on leggings: they fold up nice and small. For boys, opt for soft, snuggly sweatpants: they may not be elegant, but they?re handy.
• 1 pair of pyjama
• 7 tees
• 1 sweater and/or 1 fleece. Perfect for cooler mornings, nights spent camping and public transport (ever noticed how chilly it gets?!).
• 1 windbreaker. It depends where you?re headed obviously, but windbreakers don?t take up much space and are great for keeping warm.
• 1 anti-UV T-shirt if you?re planning on hitting the beach. This one?s a no-brainer.
• 1 small wash bag complete with toothpaste, toothbrush, hairbrush and sunscreen.
• 1 large scarf always handy. Slip it around your neck, or use it as an emergency towel or blanket. The ultimate travel buddy.
• 2 pairs of socks.
• 7 pairs of underwear.
