Tips
- Lay everything out on the bed before putting it in a bag. It’s easier to see what’s missing.
- Take a photo of the packed bag so you can see what’s inside later.
- Tell someone where the passport is. And check it in the morning.
- Keep this list on your phone to use again on the next trip.
Common questions
How much should a teenager pack for a week?
Underwear and socks for each day plus a couple of extras, three or four tops and bottoms, a layer, and shoes. They’ll wear things twice.
Should parents check what their teenager has packed?
A quick check together works well for most families. It’s a chance to catch the things that are easy to forget, like chargers and medication.
Can a teenager have their own list?
Yes. In Zipi each person has their own things, so a teenager can have their own list and tick it off themselves.
