There are lots of travel posts floating around the web, but most of those are from people who are traveling for fun. If you're a Third Culture Kid like me, or perhaps work away from your passport country, you know that traveling isn't always exciting and happy. You're dealing with difficult goodbyes, loss of everything you know, overwhelm, and if you're by yourself, possibly even loneliness. Long flights are tedious, but processing so much at the same time makes it even harder. So here is a TCK inspired checklist and a few tips for those long flights! ELECTRONICS
DOCUMENTS AND IMPORTANT ITEMS
CLOTHING AND TOILETRIES
MISCELLANEOUS
So there you have it! My carry-on checklist for long, maybe difficult flights. Living between countries and dealing with long trips, goodbyes, and losses are definitely not easy. But by taking a little extra care, you can make your flights a bit better. Do you have any tips or tricks for long flights? Share them in the comments below!

Good post! However, I'm more of a minimalist and don't take as much on the flight but to each her own, correct?! I've found that taking a screenshot of important things (such as itinerary, e-ticket, etc.) is beneficial. Then zero worries about wifi or losing a bookmark.

Exactly! I don't always take everything; usually only the things I think I'll need for that trip, because it is does vary depending on the season of life, where you're going, what time of year it is etc. That's definitely the beauty of traveling: essentials vary from person to person and I find it really enjoyable to hear from other people their travel tips! ☺️ Thank you for commenting!
