Travel "Winter" Smart

You'll need plenty of high-energy foods because you burn more calories in the cold. Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid caffeine.

Tip from the modelling world to prevent your hands from chapping, ALWAYS wear gloves when you're going out in the cold, even if it's just for a short time.

You'll want a layer that wicks moisture away from your body. Wear layers to stay warm. Loose clothing assists in circulation. Wear a neck gaiter to keep your neck and lower face warm. Pack a couple of 100% cotton T-shirts. They're breathable, warm and flexible - great for layering - and they can double as nightshirts.

It will be warmer if you do a few exercises before you get on the lift, and right after you get off. Go inside frequently to warm up.

Your face should be protected. Use moisturizer to provide protection from the wind. Don't forget the sunblock. Use a face mask or neck gaiter up over your mouth and/or nose.
Thermal socks are warm and help absorb moisture. Be sure you can move your toes in your boots to keep circulation moving. Toe warmers are great.

When traveling to Europe this past winter, I was faced with the challenge of putting together a warm and fashionable travel wardrobe into one carry on — not so simple for a California transplant who has forgotten what real cold feels like!


In the end, I used this fail proof list of what to bring while packing for my winter trip to Europe. It helped me pack everything in one carry on, keep warm once I was in Europe, and look good doing it!

Your hands may be better protected by mittens than gloves. Glove liners help. Remove metal rings and bracelets. Hand warmers are a good idea.
