Here’s a crazy thought: If you’re packing in a hurry, how can you ensure you haven’t missed anything, especially your travel necessities?
At Pacsafe, we go by the mantra “Be Prepared” (yes, like the Boy Scouts)! And it’s easy to be prepared, beginning by creating a travel items list that has all your travel needs on it, especially if you don’t know when you’ll be heading out on the next flight or train. And if you follow our what to pack when travelling list below, you can also rest easier knowing your most precious travel documents are safe from RFID skimmers.

The Always-On-You
Imagine walking into your office and being told that you have to fly immediately to the next state for a day trip because there’s a crisis brewing. Are you ready to go?
In these moments, it’s handy to have the RFIDsafe™ TEC passport wallet. We’ve packed our most important documents ahead of time into it – passport, extra ID, credit card and an international SIM card if we’re crossing borders. It’s something we can grab and go at a moment’s notice, making this one of the best travel accessories for international travel.
If you’re not fond of carrying wallets though, the Coversafe™ X75 anti-theft RFID blocking neck pouch is a top travel accessory. It’s a discreet pouch that goes under your clothes and holds your passport and cards securely while you breeze through security. Again, this is something you can pre-pack ahead of time.
Checklist: Passport, air/rail tickets, credit cards, cash currencies and a working pen.
 

The Overnight Work Bag
Now, what if you needed to work on the plane? Throw everything (and a change of clothes)  into your Intasafe™ Z400 anti-theft shoulder bag! This roomy, rugged and easy-to-carry shoulder bag has a zippered main compartment with a RFID blocking pocket, keeping your credit card and passport secure from RFID skimmers. Plus, it wouldn’t look out of place in a business meeting, making it the perfect business travel bag .
Alternatively, if camera backpacks are more your style, then consider the Camsafe® V17 anti-theft camera backpack. While similarly roomy, the Camsafe allows you easy access to your camera, smartphone and documents while keeping them dry and secure with the in-built rain cover and RFIDsafe™ Blocking Pockets.
Checklist: One change of clothes, your laptop, phone, power bank (and their chargers!), a working pen, toiletries (toothbrush and toothpaste), travel itinerary, the RFIDsafe™ TEC passport wallet with all the documents mentioned earlier, a small laundry bag (for your old clothes) and an extra pair of headphones.
And that’s it! It pays to be prepared ahead of time, as you can just “grab and go” but if you find yourself unprepared, then check out our guide on packing in 3 minutes. Have an extra must have international travel accessory we didn’t cover? Let us know in the comments!
