As a personal trainer and chef, Zach travels quite a bit. Sometimes a work trip will just be a quick overnight stay somewhere, or it’s a few night stay, but either way, Zach has perfected how to pack for any trip. He’s sharing his favorite travel essentials, so that packing for your next trip will be a breeze.
“As we gear up to travel again, I’ve been making sure I have all my travel essentials ready to go. My work travel sometimes means a quick overnight trip where I need to pack light and be ready for anything. Sometimes it’s a longer trip where having a few things to make myself feel at home can make the whole trip go a lot smoother. Having everything from the right bag to key clothing items to some grooming essentials keeps me ready for whatever happens!”

Bad Hair Day Magic
One time I fell asleep on the plane and my head slid to the side, causing my hair to stick up in all sorts of weird ways. I was going straight from the airport to meet friends and didn’t have any product to fix it. Needless to say I won’t be making that mistake again!
