It seems everyone struggles with what to pack when getting ready for holidays. Over the last 10 years, I have traveled to 51 countries and I have become somewhat of a packing “expert”. Since moving to Italy, we take 1 or 2 trips every month, so it has become essential to have a packing list in order to expedite the process. Below I have provided my personal packing list. I don’t always bring EVERYTHING on the list, but I make the list inclusive and just cross off as I go. I also leave a couple of spaces blank in case I need to add anything special.  Hopefully this list makes your packing and planning a bit easier!
