In this month's episode from the travelling trio - Tracy, Melissa and Shelly (aka a Brit, an Aussie and a Yank) we share their best packing strategies, essential items, and embarrassing packing fails to help you prepare for your next adventure. We debate cabin baggage versus checked luggage, reveal our must-have travel items, and share hard-earned lessons about what works – and what doesn’t.
• Cabin vs checked luggage: the pros, cons and airline realities to consider
• Travel essentials you should never leave home without – from power banks to sarongs

• Memorable packing fails, including broken sandals and contact lenses held up in Greek customs
• Shoe and toiletry strategies that work for both short and long-term travel
• Smart outfit planning using versatile pieces that mix and match
• Why the 5-4-3-2-1 packing method might not work for everyone
