Alright, I’ll be honest… At the start of my long distance relationship, I had NO idea what I was doing! I was 18, I only traveled alone once before flying overseas to meet my partner, and I didn’t even know how long I was going for. I booked a one-way ticket! Obviously, if you book a one-way ticket, you don’t know when you’re arriving back home, so I didn’t know what to bring and what not to bring. I wish I had an international travel packing list to look over first!
Thankfully, it’s been years, I’ve had tons of practice with figuring out what to pack, knowing what I need during long trips, what you need when flying international, etc. So, I made this list to help other people who are in looonngg distance relationships. I don’t mean LDRs that are a 2 hour drive away, I mean relationships where your partner lives hours, upon hours away in a different country!
The items featured on this list are just my own personal travel essentials for flying internationally. However, all items are perfect (and essential) for anyone to bring on their trips! I’m only going to mention small things, (not items like passports and toothbrushes!)
