What to Pack for a 30+ Day Business Trip (Without Overpacking)

  • Posted on

Packing for a long-term work trip is a different game from your average weekend getaway. It’s about planning smart so you can feel prepared, productive, and comfortable without hauling around your entire closet. Here’s how to strike the right balance.

Think Capsule, Not Closet
Choose versatile pieces that mix and match—neutral layers, comfortable shoes, and a couple of pieces you love—the key: items that multitask.

Don’t Forget Daily Essentials
Pack your go-to toiletries, chargers, a compact workspace setup, and comfort items (think your favorite mug or a book). These make a big difference on longer stays.

Leave Room for Local Finds
You’ll pick things up while you’re away. Don’t overstuff at the start—let your new city surprise you.

And If You’re Staying in an ABODE...
You'll already have a full kitchen, linens, and WiFi—so you can travel lighter and settle in faster.
