Here is the packing list I use as a travel content creator traveling for one week:
- Laptop and charger, plus converter for international travel
- External hard drive with case
- Camera and 50mm lens
- Memory cards and SD card reader
- Tripod
- Smartphone and charger
- Headphones
- Microphone with case
- Clothing for 7 days (including at least one formal outfit for any events or meetings)
- Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, etc.)
- Any necessary medications
- Passport and travel documents
- Cash and credit cards
- Guidebook or travel documents
- Snacks and collapsible water bottle
This list is a suggestion and you may need to adjust it based on your specific needs and the activities you have planned for your trip. Remember to pack light and only bring the essentials to avoid overloading your backpack. Every single item is one more thing you have to carry so think small and compact where possible.
