36 Packing Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Trip (and Easy Fixes)

14. Forgetting Chargers, Adapters, and Power Banks

In our hyper-connected world, arriving at your destination with dead electronics is a major drag. Forgetting the specific charger for your phone, camera, or laptop – or neglecting the necessary plug adapter for international travel – is incredibly common. A backup power bank can also be a lifesaver during long transit days. Solution: Create a dedicated "tech pouch" for all essential chargers, adapters (check destination requirements!), and a fully charged power bank. Double-check it before you leave home.
