ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP PACKING LIST

Jumping in the car for a road trip soon and not sure what to bring along? Road trips are so much better when you’re fully prepared, so today I’m sharing the ultimate road trip packing list to ensure a smooth ride the whole way to your destination!

Outfits

LAYERS – layer your lightweight fabrics with cozy sweaters and hoodie sweatshirts. The more comfortable, the better! With the AC vents so close, you’ll be happy you have your extra layers.
COMFY DRESSES – skip the tight clothes – a lightweight t-shirt dress or cotton dress is best. Also, wrinkle-free and casual is a must!
SNEAKERS – you never know what adventures might surprise you on your way, so make sure to wear your comfy sneaks for any potential stops.
SUNGLASSES – don’t forget your shades! You’ll likely be seeing a sunrise or two on your way, so I highly recommend investing in a chic pair that blocks UVA/UVB rays for full protection on sunny days.

Car Essentials

SNACKS + VEJO BLENDER – no one likes a hangry passenger! Road trip snacks are a definite must, and you’ll even save money while you travel – it’s a win-win! Bring a mix of sweet, salty, and healthy snacks like baby carrots, nuts, and fruit. Want to get fancy and make a healthy smoothie? Blending on the go has never been easier thanks to the Vejo blender. Make sure to check out my recent post for all the details on this pod-based mixer.
MOBILE CHARGING PACK – if you’ll be streaming, texting, taking pictures or working on your phone at all during your trip, you’ll definitely want to bring a mobile charging pack for when phone batteries run low! This pack has wireless charging and substantial capacity.
TRAVEL PILLOW + EYE MASK – when it’s not your turn to drive, you’ll be so happy to have these two essentials. Rest up… You’ll be arriving at your destination in no time!
EARBUDS – if you want to drown out the sound of screaming kids, loud movies in the backseat, or simply want to listen to your own videos or podcasts, you’ll need to bring your favorite earplugs!

ENTERTAINMENT

DOWNLOAD A PODCAST – whether you’re listening alone, with your husband, or with your kids – there’s a podcast for everyone. Start binge-listening to some of the imaginative and thought-provoking podcasts offered on Spotify, Apple, or the podcast app.
STREAM YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES – if you’re traveling with kids, especially, you need to have at least 2-3 movies lined up for the long hours in the car.
