How to pack your suitcase for a trip to the sea



Are you planning a vacation by the sea, but don't like packing your bags? Then we have selected several “life hacks” especially for you:

  1. Make a list of things you need. The list will help you not to forget what you need and not to take too many unnecessary things. When the list is ready, look carefully, there will probably be 10-20% of things on it that can be left at home. It’s good if you create a list in notes on your phone and can adjust it if necessary.
  2. When going to the sea with your family, consider everyone’s needs. So, during a trip to the sea with children, you may need toys, but you shouldn’t take a lot of them. Almost every child at sea asks for new purchases. It’s worth taking your favorite toy that will calm your baby, and downloading your favorite cartoon or children’s movie to your phone; a children’s educational game can also come in handy.
  3. We advise you to take with you a small first aid kit with the most necessary medications: painkillers, absorbent, antipyretic, motion sickness tablets (if you or your child gets motion sickness on the road), Panthenol (in case you get sunburned on the beach). Most often, in pharmacies in resort towns, the price tag for medicines is too high.
  4. It is better to take personal hygiene and cosmetic products in miniatures or special 100 ml containers, this way you will save space in your suitcase and significantly reduce weight.
  5. It is worth packing clothes taking into account the temperature difference from hot to cool. Choose basic items that you can practically combine with each other. Several pairs of shoes: closed shoes in case of bad weather, beach flip-flops and sandals for walking.
  6. Documentation. On the territory of the country, you must have with you a passport of a citizen of Ukraine and, if necessary, a driver’s license. To travel to the sea with children you need a birth certificate. If you are traveling abroad, please consult with your tour operator about the required documents.
  7. Beach mat. If you are staying at a hotel that does not provide towels, it is better to take a special cotton bedding with you (it will take up less space than a terry towel).
  8. Gadgets, charging for them and a mobile charger. Even when going on vacation, you shouldn’t give up your mobile phone, where you can download movies and games.
To compactly put things in a suitcase, they should be rolled up, so you can easily get what you need. In closed shoes you can put bottles of cosmetics or Panthenol, or chargers and a mobile charger.
