Relocating to a new city for a short period of time is exciting but can also seem like a hassle. But no worries! There are ways to prepare for your move that will ease the process, which all starts with what you pack and how you move it all. Here are tips on what to pack to help you get started on your next adventure!

The Basics

First off, there are the basics that should be able to fit into one carry-on sized bag. But keep in mind that some of these are low priority if they can be purchased at any local drugstore or supermarket. Therefore, if you’re running out of room, forgo some of these items.

-Blow dryer, curling iron, and any hair-related items that you use often

-Glasses/contacts/contact solution

-Medicine/medications
