✈️ Ultimate Travel First Aid Kit: Everything I Pack for Emergencies

If you've followed me for any length of time, you know I never leave home without a fully stocked, well-organized first aid kit. After traveling to 15+ countries and RVing full-time with four kids, I’ve learned the hard way that being overprepared is just smart travel.

This kit isn’t your average little pouch. It’s big, bold, and built for real emergencies. Below is everything I pack, in the order I pack it, with links so you can build your own.

💡 BE PREPARED: Grab my printable Airport Day Checklist — it covers everything I double-check before heading to the airport, a checklist for when I arrive and one for when I get to my seat. Love this so nothing gets forgotten. You can print it or save it to your phone for easy travel days! (Every purchase directly supports my YouTube channel and helps me keep creating free travel content — I appreciate you so much!)
