You only have two suitcases and need to figure out how to pack for a trip to Canada that will supply you with everything you will need while away from home. What should you take and what should you leave behind? Here are a few ideas:
- Canada uses a 120 volts and 60 Hz electrical plug, which means many standard appliances like hair dryers from other regions will not work there, so be sure to include an adapter when figuring out how to pack for a trip to Canada. Plenty of warm casual clothes. Canada’s weather can be harsh (especially in the winter), so be sure to pack accordingly. Also, many activities for tourists revolve around the outdoors so be sure to pack comfortable shoes and clothing.
- A Good Backpack. If you are planning to take advantage of all of the outdoor activities Canada has to offer, be sure to pack a sturdy (and comfortable) backpack to carry what you need throughout the day.
- Your Passport. Canada does require everyone (including U.S. citizens) to have a valid passport when entering and exiting the country.
- A good camera. It does not matter what part of the country you visit, there will be plenty of opportunities to grab a few great candid shots; plenty of film and/or camera batteries. The West coast has it’s majestic mountains, the East coast has it valleys and ocean views; there’s always a great picture to be taken in Canada.
- A Cash Passport Card. These easy-to-use prepaid debit cards come in very handy while travelling through Canada.
