Favourite travel memory: I was recently solo travelling in Peru, and took a day trip from Cusco to Rainbow Mountain. I was so nervous for the high altitude hike, finishing off at an elevation of just over 17,000 feet, but I managed to make it on foot instead of taking the horses they offer along the way. It was challenging, rewarding, and the views of Rainbow Mountain itself were absolutely stunning.

Favourite destination: I can’t pick just one country, but I absolutely loved Southeast Asia. Thailand has a special place in my heart, having lived there for 2 years, and countries like the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia are just incredible (and cheap!).

2017 Travel Checklist: What To Pack For Every Holiday Type

August 24, 2017 by nvshen Leave a Comment

Do you find that you are always forgetting things when heading off on vacation? A travel checklist is one of the handiest tools you will ever have when it comes to preparing for your vacation. This 2017 there are lots of new things you can bring with you that will surely add fun in your trip!

Whatever holiday you are jetting off to this year, the logistics of packing can be a nightmare. From the very first task of choosing the most suitable bag to take, to the essentials every holiday needs and finally the elements specific to where you are going and what you’ll be doing, packing can be one of the most stressful parts of travelling. Each holiday requires a certain amount of basics for a travel checklist including passports and tickets (if going abroad), medications and of course sun cream, but here The LuxPad takes a look at the special elements various types of holidays require. From active holidays to staycations, discover the 2017 Travel Checklist to ensure your holiday is as fun and hassle-free as possible…

Beach Holiday

A beach or pool holiday can be one of the easiest to pack for as the temperature will likely be soaring and therefore light clothes are a must. For the day a selection of swimwear and cover-ups will be your staple wardrobe, however make sure to pack enough smarter outfits for evenings, especially if your hotel’s restaurants have a dress code. A beach or pool side travel checklist will always include flip flops, beach bag, beach towel and a sun hat, but each year certain trends emerge for the holiday season and in 2017 – it’s all about the inflatable.

From majestic swans and shimmering flamingos, to tropical fruit, pool and sea inflatables have been stepped up this year and are a fun yet still impeccably stylish accessory to take to the water with. The heat and sun which usually (hopefully) goes hand in hand with a beach holiday requires extra care, ensure you always have a high SPF sun cream on hand, along with after sun if you do get burnt. It is also essential to stay hydrated whilst out in the heat so ensure you always have a water bottle with you to refill at every possible opportunity.
