No one does a vacation quite like Anna Sobrepeña. The Editor-In-Chief of Lifestyle Asia is usually seen jet-setting her way across the globe, making memories not just for herself, but to share with the world.
Now, she chooses to share another thing with all of us: her ultimate travel essentials, so you can journey into the world in style just as she does. May this serve as true packing inspiration for your travels this 2018.
Vamos!
Beyond necessities like sunblock, moisturisers, dental floss, toiletries and medicines, my ultimate travel essentials are:
1. Anawim and Word Among Us prayer meditations
To jumpstart days with a perspective of what is truly important
2. Preferred company
Travel companion/s inclined to flexibility, spontaneity, who appreciate and provide good conversations but are just at ease with silences
3. Sense of humour
To meet the unexpected that could throw a wrench into best laid plans.
4. Platinum credit cards
For all the lovely things that money can buy
5. Extra luggage
that can be packed and unfolded to carry used apparel that are displaced by acquisitions on the trip
6. Stylish and comfortable footwear
that can go from day to night and march everything (although I am still in search for this perfect pair)
7. Linda Farrow sunglasses
For eye protection and looking fairly decent even without makeup
8. An Hermes shawl
To dress up any outfit
9. Mobile phone with charger
to stay connected, access information and take magazine quality photos
10. Sign Pen and thank you cards
to write notes of appreciation to people I meet along the way who have contributed to a happy experience
11. Contact details of friends
who can facilitate arrangements for transport, waive excess baggage allowance, reservations in restaurants and shopping privileges
12. A sense of wonder and openness to adventure
