When you travel, is there one thing you never go without, that has to go with you, or can you leave it all behind?

My cellphone and birth control. Other than that, it depends on where I’m going and for how long. If it’s something like a camping trip where I’m not going to really have access to stores, I will make checklists sometimes weeks in advance and all things have to be accounted for. Obviously passports, IDs, etc., when necessary are a must.

Otherwise, I’m honestly pretty laid back about traveling. For the most part, I know that if I forget something absolutely vital (i.e. feminine products, or (as I did once on a trip to Canada) SHIRTS), stores exist. If I forget anything else that is not absolutely vital, I can live without it.

I try not to stress out too much, esp for vacations. I undergo a fairly significant personality shift when I’m on vacation, and ‘no stress, all things are adventures’ is pretty much my number 1. For example, Non-Vacation Drake stresses out about driving - she is particularly paranoid of being lost and BP goes up in a hurry when she takes wrong turns, esp in unfamiliar areas. Vacation Drake treats wrong turns as adventures within safe limits, and is a super relaxed driver/passenger. 

Ask me stuff
