Ep 9: Hitha Palepu

<p>Have I told you guys my big shameful secret about how I’m the WORST PACKER EVER? It takes me no less than four hours to pack for a weekend away and yet I still end up with 9 tee-shirts, one pair of pants, no socks, no pajamas, a toothbrush with no toothpaste and one shoe. Luckily I have the perfect person to call in a travel emergency—Hitha Palepu! Hitha Palepu is an investor and author of <em>How To Pack: Travel Smart For Any Trip. </em>She shares 5 smart reads every weekday on Instagram and on her weekly newsletter, and she'll be launching her podcast, 1 Smart Thing, next month! You can follow her on Instagram @HithaPalepu.</p><p><br></p><p>Hitha, who literally wrote the book on packing,&nbsp;joins us this week to talk about packing cubes, the fool-proof way to make sure you remember underwear on your next trip, her favorite planner AND the royals (or the not-royal-anymores!). Also, PILL BOTTLES AS THE NUMBER ONE TRAVEL ACCESSORY. JUST LISTEN, OKAY?</p><p><br></p><p>This convo was so delightful that we had to essentially edit it down from, like, two hours to our regularly scheduled 30 minutes. Should we release “Gee Thanks” B-Sides in a few years?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Products Mentioned On This Episode!</strong></p><ul><li>Silk and Sonder Planner Of The Month: <a href="https://silkandsonder.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://silkandsonder.com</a></li><li>Flight 001 SpacePak Single Packing Cube: <a href="https://amzn.to/2uj8viy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2uj8viy</a></li><li>Flight 001 SpacePak Three Set: https://amzn.to/2uj8Cuu</li><li>Revlon One-Step: <a href="https://amzn.to/36eRFyF" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/36eRFyF</a></li><li>Toiletry Bag: <a href="https://amzn.to/2G8YKpM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2G8YKpM</a></li><li>Coola Sunscreen: <a href="https://fave.co/2NMYp0k" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fave.co/2NMYp0k</a></li><li>Pill Bottles for Travel Liquids:&nbs
