Start with a great backpack. This one is large enough to last them an entire trip, but small enough to make it as a carry on bag. It’s comfortable and easy for a teen to carry around as well.

Encourage them to carry a passport/money belt for safety. These fit under their clothing so they don’t get pick pocketed. The best plan is to carry only the cash they’ll need during the day in their pockets and keep the rest in the belt.

Make sure they have good reading material for the trip by grabbing something from this master list of great book series for teens and tweens.

Make sure they have plenty to eat, by grabbing them something from this list of the best foodie gifts for teens and tweens. Make sure they have something yummy that travels well stashed in their backpack!

Make sure they have some durable and comfortable shoes to wear as they travel.

If you have a tween that’s not traveling, grab her something from this great list of the best gifts for tweens who love DIY.

Also, make sure they take their phone charger! Sure, a teen wouldn’t be caught without a phone, but make sure they have the charger as well or that phone life isn’t going to last! If they are traveling internationally, make sure they have travel adapter as well so they don’t fry their phone!
