No matter where you are vacationing, even if it is not on the beach, you must wear sunscreen. Especially, in the summer. If you are exploring a new town, you will be in the sun all day. Please protect your skin!

The Rain

No one likes the rain, but when traveling sometimes you have no choice. Don't let the rain stop you from visiting a new city. I love how cities look after a fresh rain.

These can be harder to pack. I would only pack them if I knew it was raining for a few days on my trip. However, you can style super cute outfits with rainboots even on non rainy days.

Get a waterproof bag to keep your valuables safe and dry. If this is too much you can even get a pouch and put your money and other valuables in it.
