No one enjoys packing for a business trip. It’s always a hassle, and you’re never quite sure whether you’ve packed everything you need. In addition to the usual clothing and toiletries, there are a few other items you should make sure to bring with you. Here are tips to help make packing for your next business trip a little bit easier.
A Laptop
Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, a laptop is always good to have along. The list of tasks that can be performed with a laptop is practically endless, and it’s really the only computer that you can truly take “everywhere”. In addition, if you’re going for a longer trip, it’s another way to re-watch Game of Thrones at the end of a long day.
A Good Bag
A business trip is no place for a cheap, unstylish bag. It’s essential to have something good-looking and appropriate for work. Look for one that is fairly durable and something you don’t mind being seen on the subway.
Valuables
Be sure to pack any valuables (money, passport) in your carry-on. If they are lost, you don’t want to be stuck on a business trip without your ID.
Business Cards
While not an absolute necessity, some people do still exchange business cards on a regular basis. If you’re going to be exchanging cards with anyone, make sure to bring a few extras along.
A Basic Outfit
A business trip often has you alternating between work events and more relaxed activities. To save on space, pack one or two outfits that are appropriate for both work and fun. This way, you won’t have to wear the same clothes two days in a row.
Toiletries
These items are some of the most important to remember. Make sure you’ve packed your toothbrush, toothpaste, contact lenses/glasses, shampoo/conditioner, soap, deodorant, etc.
A Good Book or E-Book Reader
Even if your hotel provides sufficient entertainment (which they often do), it’s always nice to have something good to read on the plane or train. If you’re going to be using a good old-fashioned book, make sure it’s a small hardcover that won’t take up too much space. If your trip is long enough, an e-book reader will provide more than enough reading material without taking too much space in your luggage.
Packing for a business trip is always stressful. It’s never too late to start planning, though! Use these tips to make packing easier and more enjoyable.
