Before we start, let\u2019s get one thing straight. What you\u2019re about to read would never make the cut for the holiday style guide of any fashion magazine. If you\u2019re looking for Travel Packing List to know how-to<\/em> transform your suitcase into a mobile hair and makeup counter, then I recommend you hit return and try the next link down on Google now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still reading, then you\u2019re a woman that prioritises adventure over glamour and would rather spend your time wandering astray than glued to your mirror. While a passport, card and toothbrush are universal basics, some essentials are specific to just us ladies. It\u2019s not about being high maintenance, it\u2019s about being practical and recognising our physiological design demands a different way of Travel Packing List.<\/p>\n

Every flight I\u2019ve boarded thus far has been in a selfless quest to fine-tune this travel packing list for the rest of my sex. Mary Wollstonecraft\u00a0eat your heart out:<\/p>\n

Quick-dry travel towel<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"woman-waving-a-towel-on-sandy-beach\"<\/p>\n

This one is non-negotiable as I\u2019m all about packing light<\/a> \u2013 I\u2019ve even taken scissors to my quick-dry before just to make more room for more souvenirs. I\u2019m not a brand ambassador or slave to labels but when it comes to travel towels, I need something designed to do more than just wrap around my waist.<\/p>\n

As a woman, I\u2019m not asking for Egyptian cotton or my initials embroidered at the edge. But call me old-fashioned, call me prude: sometimes it\u2019s just lovely to be able to cover both my breasts and bum – at the same time<\/em>. Dock & Bay towels are designed by men and actually fit women too \u2013 cute colours, biodegradable materials and no accidental flashing!<\/p>\n

A good book<\/h4>\n

As an English literature grad, I spent my degree studying a classical canon dominated by male writers. As much as I love Shakespeare, Wordsworth and the Brothers Grimm there\u2019s not always room in my case for their hefty volumes. Instead, I travel with one paperback and make an inspirational female writer my travel companion. I\u2019m toying between Wild<\/em> by Cheryl Strayed and I am Malala<\/em> by Malala Yousafzai for my next adventure.<\/p>\n
