Surviving International Travel: Packing Strategies for Adult Content Creators

Blog Post Written By: Melrose Michaels

 

Have you ever wondered how to juggle a whirlwind trip through multiple countries while keeping up with a demanding content creation schedule?


I’m about to embark on an action-packed journey across the EU, tackling vlogs, tutorials, and explicit content creation in four countries over 30 days. In this blog, I’ll share my go-to packing strategies that keep me organized and ready to create on the move. I’ll also walk you through my meticulously crafted packing list and the organizational hacks that ensure nothing gets left behind.


So, whether you’re planning your next adventure or just need some packing inspiration, this post is packed with valuable insights. Let’s dive in and explore how you can stay on top of your content creation no matter where in the world you are!


The Importance of Efficient Packing Strategies

Efficient packing goes beyond just fitting items in a suitcase. For me, it’s about ensuring that every essential item needed for creating high-quality content makes it to the destination. This becomes even more crucial when traveling internationally, where losing luggage or forgetting important gear can disrupt the entire workflow.


Dividing and Conquering: The Ultimate Luggage Strategy

This strategy involves dividing my essentials among checked luggage, a carry-on, and a travel purse. This method not only keeps me organized but serves as a safety net should any piece of luggage get lost.


Must-Have Tech Essentials

Tech gear is the backbone of an adult creator’s arsenal. My tech essentials include:


  • EU Chargers and Extension Cords:

    Multiple EU chargers with USB ports and extension cords keep my devices powered up.

  • Multi-Cords:

    A single multi-cord with three different types of connectors ensures that I can charge all of my devices without carrying multiple cables.

  • Spare iPhone:

    An old iPhone serves as a third camera, capturing alternate angles during filming.

  • JBL Speaker:

    This portable speaker creates a lively atmosphere during photo shoots.

  • Bose Headphones and Airpods:

    Noise-canceling Bose headphones for long flights and Airpods for easy, on-the-go access.

  • DJI Mic and Transmitter:

    High-quality audio gear is essential for clear sound in vlogs.

  • Compact Tripods and Clip-On Lights:

    Lightweight tripods and portable lights ensure I can set up anywhere.

  • Safety Gadgets:

    A hidden camera detector adds an extra layer of security when filming in rented properties.


The Creative Costume: Clothing and Props

Given the specific nature of our work, I need a variety of outfits that align with the vibe of each filming location. I meticulously plan and style my looks for each day, factoring in climate, activities, and fashion. This forethought avoids overpacking and ensures versatility with minimal pieces. Including lingerie and "props" (with legality checks), I stay ready for diverse shoots.


Toiletry Bag Ready to Go

A pre-packed toiletry bag saves time and ensures I never forget my essentials. Travel-sized toiletries are always packed and ready, separate from my everyday products. This also includes sealed containers for self-tanners and other liquids to prevent leaks.


The Travel Purse Essentials

My travel purse contains not just everyday items (passport, money, AirPods) but also tools to optimize my filming and travel experience:

  • Portable Tripod:

    A small travel tripod that attaches to various surfaces aids in capturing spontaneous moments.

  • Ray-ban Meta Glasses:

    Glasses that record video are perfect for hands-free content creation.


Clothing Strategies

Strategic clothing choices minimize the number of items I need to pack. I opt for pieces that can be mixed, matched, and styled with different accessories. Fleece stockings and a versatile trench coat allow me to adapt to changing weather.


Pro Tips and Tricks

One innovative tip I suggest is using vacuum-sealed bags for longer trips, which compress the clothing and make it easier to fit in luggage. Be warned, though; this might make the luggage heavier.


The Power of Preparation

Preparation and careful planning are the keys to a successful travel workflow. Every item has its place, and everything is considered to maximize creativity and efficiency.


Stay efficient, stay creative, and travel smart.

Adopting these packing strategies can make a significant difference in managing workload and maintaining productivity for any adult creator planning extensive travel.


By following these tips and creating a detailed packing list, you’ll be well-equipped to handle the unique challenges of creating content on the go.


Happy traveling and creating!
