Information

Welcome to Passports and Journeys' travel tips page! Passports and Journeys, based in Knoxville, Tennessee, is dedicated to providing you with the best advice for stress-free and memorable travel experiences.

Avoid Overpacking Woes

A common mistake for first-time travelers is overpacking. It sounds cliché, but it’s true! Airlines often have weight restrictions (typically 44 pounds or less). Overpacking can lead to extra costs. To avoid this, count the days of your trip, plan one outfit per day, and stick to your plan. You’ll thank us later!

Essential Packing Items

No matter the destination, there are a few essential items to always pack. For women, it's recommended to ALWAYS pack your own hair care products and everyone should bring a swimsuit. You never know when you'll have the opportunity to take a dip!

Stay Safe and Healthy

Staying healthy while traveling abroad is crucial. The simplest and most effective tip is to wash your hands frequently.
