No, you won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
2.<\/strong> Your hairdryer. Because what if hotels suddenly decided to not<\/strong><\/em> include them in every room?<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Four books you\u2019ll never read. Save some suitcase space and get a Kindle to ignore instead.<\/p>\n 4.<\/strong> Your own towels. The hotel will have some. Trust me. If you’re worried that where you’re going won’t have any, save on space and avoid a large cotton towel. Opt for a space-saving microfibre one instead.<\/p>\n 5.<\/strong> Too many pairs of shoes. High heels. Boots. Sneakers. Sandals. And that\u2019s just for a one-night\u00a0stay.<\/p>\n 6.<\/strong> Your laptop to finally get on top of your life admin. You won\u2019t (and why would you want to? You\u2019re on holiday!). Save the space for clothes.<\/p>\n 7.<\/strong> All the makeup you buy and never use. Or that moustache wax that’s been sitting in your bathroom cabinet for years. No, this trip won\u2019t be the time you finally nail winged eyeliner or perfect your curled mo.<\/p>\n 8.<\/strong> The diarrhoea tablets that expired six years ago. They\u2019re still good, right? (Answer: No, they\u2019re not. Bin\u00a0\u2018em.)<\/p>\n 9.<\/strong> Three hats. Because what if you get invited to a party on a yacht and you don\u2019t have your \u2018good\u2019 hat?<\/p>\n 10.<\/strong> Two pairs of sneakers – your go-to pair and your old ones. Sure, they might get a little muddy or sandy, but we promise your regular sneakers will survive whatever your holiday throws at them. That\u2019s what they\u2019re made for.<\/p>\n 11.<\/strong> A spare battery pack. Because the city you’re visiting might not have phone chargers.<\/p>\n 12.<\/strong> A travel iron. Just\u2026 no.<\/p>\n 13.<\/strong> Your chunky old travel guide book. Your 1997 travel guide is likely to be a tad outdated, and we have this cool new thing called the internet.<\/p>\n 14.<\/strong> A military-grade first-aid kit when you\u2019re staying in the CBD.<\/p>\n 15.<\/strong> Six red lipsticks in slightly varying shades. Wait\u2026 what\u2019s that in the airport shop? Make that seven red\u00a0lipsticks.<\/p>\n 16.<\/strong> New shoes. Now is not the time to wear them in.<\/p>\n 17.<\/strong> A camera tripod. Unless you\u2019re a professional photographer, forget it.<\/p>\n 18.<\/strong> Generic hair and body products \u2013 you can buy Head and Shoulders anywhere. Unless you\u2019re going camping, leave the soap and shampoo at home. Product-free holiday!<\/p>\n 19.<\/strong> A fresh diary or journal to get in touch with yourself. Deep down, you know it\u2019s going to come home unopened. And if the mood does strike, you can use the Notes function on your phone instead.<\/p>\n 20.<\/strong> Your favourite chocolate bar or snack because it \u201cjust doesn’t taste the same\u201d where you\u2019re going. Trying new things (including snacks) is one of the best things about travelling. Live a little \u2013 try all the strange new junk food!<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.lemediavault.com\/images\/9f4f7feb9d445933f279403eb801ea3c.jpeg\")
