Packing doesn’t have to be overwhelming  it just needs to be intentional. Whether you’re jetting off for a weekend in Lisbon, a wellness retreat in Bath, or an accessible city break in Amsterdam, having the right gear makes a world of difference.

1. Start with the Basics
   Pack light but smart. Think layering pieces, comfortable walking shoes, and a versatile day bag. Neutral colours mix and match easily. If you’re travelling with mobility aids or accessibility tools, make sure they’re charged, documented (if needed for flying or long train), and easy to reach.
2. Travel-Friendly Health & Wellness Gear
   Bring a portable pill organiser, collapsible water bottle, compression socks(especially for long travel days), and a mini first-aid kit with any personal medications. Don’t forget noise-cancelling headphones, eye masks, or travel pillows if you need sensory support or rest on the go.
3. Tech That Works For You
   Chargers, power banks, universal plug adapters especially if you are travelling from the UK to Europe you will find the plugs different, and devices like tablets or e-readers are great but don’t overpack. If you use assistive tech or apps (like screen readers or translation tools), download and test them before your trip. A lightweight laptop or tablet with a keyboard is ideal for digital nomads or anyone who journals or works remotely.
4. Don’t Forget These

Reusable tote and cutlery for eco-conscious travel

Travel documents & medical info in both print and digital formats

Ziplock bags for liquids or snacks

Foldable shopping bag or sling for day trips

Tip: Create a reusable packing checklist on your phone so nothing gets left behind especially gear that supports your comfort, independence, and enjoyment.
