Spring Break Trip Essentials for Any and Every Destination

Whether you’re hitting the beach, escaping to the mountains, or exploring a new city, the right packing list can make or break your trip. These spring break essentials are must-haves for any destination - and yes, we included a few renter-specific tips for our RPM Living residents too.

Light Layers

Spring weather can be unpredictable no matter where you’re traveling, so be sure to pack light layers like a hoodie, windbreaker, and breathable basics that can be mixed and matched for different climates.

Reusable Water Bottle

Stay hydrated wherever you go. A collapsible, reusable water bottle is great for travel and eco-friendly too.

Portable Charger

A dead phone in today’s day and age = no maps, no photos, no fun. Pack a small but powerful power bank to keep your devices going from morning hikes to late-night outings.

Versatile Footwear

Bring shoes that work for walking, dining out, and everything in between. A good pair of white sneakers or comfortable sandals can take you far (literally).

Toiletry Kit with TSA-Approved Bottles

Save space and avoid leaks by transferring your favorites into travel-sized bottles. Don’t forget sunscreen - yes, even in colder climates!

Entertainment & Travel Comforts

Load up your favorite playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks. And if you’re traveling far, bring a travel pillow, sleep mask, or compression socks for extra comfort.

Secure Your Apartment While You’re Away

Before you go, make sure your RPM Living apartment is locked up tight. Set a timer for your lights, pause any deliveries, and let your leasing office know you’ll be out of town if needed.

Snacks & Travel-Sized First Aid Kit

You never know when hunger or a headache will hit mid-journey. Granola bars, electrolyte packets, and band-aids? Game-changers.

Packing smart means more time relaxing and less time stressing. No matter where your spring break takes you, these spring travel must-haves will help you enjoy every moment, and return to your cozy RPM Living home ready to recharge.
