Since I have been traveling recently, I've noticed that there are 5 very important things never to forget when going on a trip. Unfortunately, I do not have any more trips coming up, but that just means I'll be looking for more adventures to plan! Stay tuned for my next post about Saint Tropez, France!
1. Reusable Water bottle
How many times are you thirsty while traveling? If you are like me, I always am looking for water to drink. Unfortunately, full water bottles cannot be taken through airport security, but an empty reusable water bottle can! I've been carrying my Eddy CamelBak everywhere with me. Airports have many water fountains, and the Cincinnati airport even has a water bottle "fountain."
I've seen so many people in line for airport security, throw away their unopened bottles of water. You can always pour them out and save the bottle for once you pass through security! When you carry your own water bottle around you will be saving money and saving the environment.
2. Student ID/AAA /Senior Discounts
So many places offer student discounts. Almost anywhere with an admission fee is likely to offer a student discount. My family has AAA, which offers discounts all across the United States. It never hurts to ask if the place you are at offers a student discount/AAA discount or even a Senior rate. You'll be surprised on how much money you can save this way! Stores also offer many discounts. Kate Spade and J.Crew are 2 of my favorite places to shop with student discounts!

3. Great Jacket
Temperatures in airplanes can be a plane. It may be too hot or too cold, and if you are very lucky, you might be able to figure out the temperature so it is just right. A great jacket can always fix those times when it is too cold! You'll also want to look put together before, during, and after the airplane ride. It is also so much easier to look put together with a jacket when you are walking around your destination!
My favorites right now are the J.Crew Puffer vest (post found here) and my Lauren by Ralph Lauren Jacket! I always feel so put together when wearing these pieces. When you look good, you feel good.

4. Sunglasses and Watches
Sunglasses are one of my favorite accessories. Such a fashion statement but also very practical! I hate when I am walking around and I can't see because of the sun. I am literally always wearing my sunglasses in the summer at the pool and I keep a pair in my backpack in case the sun comes out on my way to class.
Watches are also very important when trying to know what time it is! If you are traveling it can be hard to know the time or ask someone what time it is if you don't speak the language. When I was out shopping this weekend, I found the cutest watch at Francesca's! After doing some research, I found the same one at Urban Outfitter's since Francesca's did not have it on their website.

5. Scarf
Scarves can double as a fashion statement and as something to keep you warm! Scarves can be used as wrap and keep your shoulders warm as well as your neck. But the best part about having a scarf in Europe is that when you need to cover your shoulders, head or legs, a scarf works! Always throw a scarf in your purse and if you need to cover yourself before heading into a religious place, you're set!
