New Zealand Winter Packing for Men

Half Full Passport

No one loves to pack… especially not my sweet husband! But that actually works out well because if I can do his packing for him, I can also blog about it! You may have already seen my ladies’ packing list for this trip, so here is the list for the gentlemen!

On the Plane

Since our first set of flights would take about 24 hours, we decided it was best to opt for comfort in-flight!

Comfort is key!

Pull-over

Polo

Jeans

Shoes

Shirts

My husband has a uniform, which means he is the easiest person to pack for! You can’t go wrong with a good polo. Additionally, my sweet husband and I both workout every day to give our bodies the “time to be awake!” signal. When you’ve crossed 14-16 time zones, you need to give your body a physical signal that it’s time to be awake, and a morning run or a few weight-lifting reps can do just the trick! Because there would be some days we would run outside and some days we could do our workout inside, I needed to pack him a variety fitness options

Choices, choices!

Long-sleeve Polo

Long-sleeve Athletic Shirt

Short-sleeve Athletic Shirt

Pants

The other part of his uniform? Jeans. And a couple of options for athletic apparel as well:

Shorts, athletic pants, jeans

Shorts

Athletic Pants

Keeping Warm

New Zealand was quite cold, especially since we were coming from a good old American summer! It was tough to pull out the winter gear, but it was definitely the right thing to do!
