This list includes both.

Shoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women\u2014and stylish men\u2014know that shoes matter. A lot. They matter even more for everyone of all stripes when heading on an active vacation. Choose shoes that are already \u201cbroken in\u201d to help avoid blisters. Take corn pads if your favorite hiking boots rub against skin to prevent said blisters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hiking in a forest or up a mountain? Could be wet and cold or dry and hot. To save room and weight, pack lots of types of socks instead of lots of types of shoes. Finally, check with the tour company if there are any recommendations on soles, especially for a more-extreme hiking adventure. Your soul will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"31045\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY4MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"sunglasses on a deck\" class=\"wp-post-452 wp-image-31045\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1760727287\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"1024 682\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_682,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727287\/magazine\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727287\/magazine\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727287\/magazine\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727287\/magazine\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727287\/magazine\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed\/sun-protection-sebastian-unsplash-scaled-1_31045fbbed.jpg?_i=AA 1100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-3-sun-protection\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sun Protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wellness travel often involves outdoor activities and events, and as a result, having proper sun protection is important. This naturally includes items such as sun block, skin lotions, aloe and bug spray. To avoid being forced to check a bag because of all the liquids there are two options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the vacation is in a remote destination or all-inclusive resort where these items can be many times the cost, purchase them in an airport shop after going through security. Otherwise just get them on location. Do we have to mention sunglasses (sunnies for you Aussies) and an appropriate hat or two? I guess so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"31046\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijc2OCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"Woman in biking underwater\" class=\"wp-post-452 wp-image-31046\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1760727280\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"1024 768\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_768,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727280\/magazine\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_225,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727280\/magazine\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_576,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727280\/magazine\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_450,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727280\/magazine\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727280\/magazine\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1\/swimming-gear-amy-humphries-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 1100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-4-swim-amp-spa-attire\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Savvy travelers also take flavored packets or vitamin c tabs to add vitamins, minerals, and other electrolytes since it&#8217;s sometimes difficult to always get fresh fruit and vegetables while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"31042\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY4MiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"bunch of probiotics\" class=\"wp-post-452 wp-image-31042\" data-public-id=\"magazine\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\" data-version=\"1760727269\" data-seo=\"1\" data-size=\"1024 682\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_1024,h_682,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727269\/magazine\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 1024w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_300,h_200,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727269\/magazine\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 300w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_768,h_512,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727269\/magazine\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 768w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/w_600,h_400,c_scale\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727269\/magazine\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 600w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vacayou\/images\/c_fill,g_auto,w_1258\/f_webp,q_auto\/v1760727269\/magazine\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1\/probiotics-nastya-dulhiier-unsplash-scaled-1.jpg?_i=AA 1100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-6-probiotics-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
