Purple Star emoji 51 items
I travel pretty often for conferences and fun. These are some of my travel must-haves to make the entire process run smoothly. That means the art of repacking too! We tend to forget that part until it's time to head back.
Make a list and check it several times to prevent over packing or forgetting something.

The Travel Edit accomodates every traveler from novice to expert!
