Planning a trip can be exhilarating, until you get to the packing.
If you’re headed to a snowy mountain escape, a sun-drenched beach, or a bustling city, it’s easy to forget something crucial.
This prompt acts as your personal AI travel assistant, generating a hyper-personalized travel accessories checklist tailored to your gender, age, destination, climate, trip duration, and activity preferences.

The prompt also helps you pick the ideal type of luggage based on your items and trip style (carry-on, checked-in, hiking pack, duffel, etc.).
