Katya’s General Pack List
I pack very light with only a backpack so I can avoid the possibility of having to check a bag. Even with a carry-on, there’s the possibility of airline staff requiring the bag to be checked. I’m very careful with what I pack so I that I can always bring a personal item only; I’ve even traveled to Scandinavia in December using just a backpack. This system is beneficial in case I have to walk around with my luggage. The peace-of-mind of traveling light is something I just can’t travel without.

I only recommend items I have not only tried, but love and use consistently. I do not promote items I don’t believe in. I’ve partnered with a few different brands as an affiliate marketer and have used all the brands I recommend before I partnered with them. I sought them out because I love their products. If I have a shopping link available, it means I’ve partnered with that brand unless stated otherwise.

One item I just adore and want to highlight is my Rakuten Kobo eReader. My version is the Clara and though these eReaders can be an investment, they are well worth it if you can afford it. They’re super packable and have a feature where I can look up the definition of a word I don’t understand, which I really like. It then stores all the words I’ve looked up so that I can review them later. I love using it whenever I have down time on a trip. I even added a fabric hook on the back so I can hold it easily.
