Travel is back on the cards & people are looking forward to spreading their wings and chasing the sunshine. Learn from my mistake with this important packing tip to make sure you are adventure ready without delay!
Many years ago I was so stoked for a mid winter Bali adventure,
packed the essentials - a good selection of bikinis -
and was ready to rock and roll.. or so I thought.
Putting on my bikinis on arrival, I discovered that the months they had spent in a draw post summer was the last of their life :( They were saggy beyond wear! ALL OF THEM!
With a heavy heart the sunshine had to wait, swimwear shopping was essentially the 1st order of the day.
So check your bikinis, with time to shop before the holiday packing begins.

Yindi and Salt sustainable swimwear is made from luxury Italian nylon made from recycled plastic. With over 3.5 years of wear and tear since 1st production they are standing the test of time, no sagging in sight!
👙 Reversible mix n match bikinis are great for light packing without limiting a little variety.
🐚 A sustainable surf suit is perfect for surf or snorkel sun protection.
🍹 A one piece swimsuit is perfect paired with shorts to take you from the beach to the bar.
☀️ A sarong is a must! Lightweight and quick drying, perfect as a skirt, shoulder shade, beach towel, cover up if you visit somewhere like a temple, and help protect your booty from toasty scooter seats that have been parked in the sun (it takes only a minute! 🔥)
🥥 Coconuts are a great, and tasty way to rehydrate and restore electrolytes after a day in the sun, or a few too many drinks. Bali is pretty onto it, but if you are heading to another tropical destination grabbing a reusable metal straw to keep in your beach bag will save a lot of single use plastic.
👜 Pack essentials in your hand luggage!! The chances of your luggage getting delayed or detoured seems to be at an all time high, so I highly recommend being prepared to get through your 1st day or 2 without it.
💧 Buying a Larq water bottles can save masses of plastic water bottles, and worries about staying stocked up with enough water. Neutralizing up to 99.9999%* of harmful, odor-causing bacteria using UV-C light, you can get your water straight out of the tap, and it only takes 1-3 minutes to treat it.
Happy holidays!
