The Solo Travel Kit

(Packed for a party of one.)

The first time I travelled alone, I overpacked out of pure nerves. Now I've got it down to a kit. These are the things that make going solo easier: the luggage I trust, the in-flight essentials, the toiletries that survive security, and the small things that make a hotel room feel safe and mine. Pack these, then go. You deserve to.
