Pack These Helpful Items from Home

I think traveling to see other places and experience cultures is fun. Unless you are going to be naked or buy everything at your destination, one thing every traveler does is pack.

Everyone packs differently, and I will admit I am not a lite packer. I begin with the max weight and then reduce where needed.

What I like to travel with, though, are familiar scents - it could be a small travel bottle of my fave shampoo, a bath bomb (break the larger ones into smaller pieces), some shower scrub, an atomizer of my fave perfume, or one that always goes with me on my travels is a bottle of citrus essential oil.  Why citrus, you ask?  Because I love citrus.  It reminds me of home and when I smell it I go ‘ahhhh’.  It gets me on my new time zone quicker, too, as I adjust to my usual daily routine.

So next time you travel, consider taking something that reminds you of home and your daily routine.
