Tracee Ellis Ross Shares Her Travel Rules — And Her Packing Strategy Is Not for Minimalists
Tracee Ellis Ross travel tips might have you rethinking everything from what’s in your suitcase to how you prepare for your next solo adventure. The actress and avid traveler recently shared some of her non-negotiable rules for staying healthy, stylish, and confident while seeing the world.
And apparently, she’s packing for “beauty and disaster.” Honestly, that sounds prepared to me!
Hygiene Comes First
Ross doesn’t play about travel germs. She recommends masking on airplanes and in public bathrooms, keeping hand sanitizer nearby, and taking a hot shower as soon as you arrive at your destination.
Her goal is simple: don’t let getting sick ruin the vacation you spent months planning.
Her B.I.A. Packing Method
The Tracee Ellis Ross travel tips include a packing philosophy she calls B.I.A.—”Bring It All.”
Ross checks luggage but also packs a carry-on containing enough essentials to survive for a week if her checked bag decides to take its own vacation.
One place she saves room? Underwear. Ross says she travels with just two pairs and washes them while traveling. Now THAT might require a little more convincing!
Want to Travel Solo? Start Small
For women nervous about traveling alone, Ross recommends building confidence gradually.
Start with dinner by yourself on a weeknight around 5:30 p.m. Once that feels comfortable, level up to a solo Saturday-night dinner during prime time. Then, when you’re ready, take the trip.
It’s one of the best Tracee Ellis Ross travel tips because solo travel confidence doesn’t have to happen overnight.
