My Top Tips for New Orleans
That’s me failing on trying to look all American y’all
What to Pack for Your Trip
Comfy walking shoes - High SPF sunscreen - A cool sun hat
A rain poncho for surprise downpours
A power bank - handy for when you’re on a day trip, taking photos can drain your phone battery really quickly. The ones from Penneys work fine
A waterproof pocket ground tarp for going to Jazz Fest. You can find them at most outdoor stores like Regatta or from Wish
Small crossbody bag, money belt, or bum bag. Groovy I know, but you need to keep your essentials safe when out & about on Bourbon Street
Hair products - the humidity is gonna get you! Probably best to bring some mousse and embrace the waves, or what I do is bring a wide headband and just cover the whole mess up!
What not to Pack
Heels, or any type of fancy shoes that will kill your feet
Your regular fancy shmancy Saturday night outfits. Maybe one or two smart casual dresses but people don’t go full on Saturday night wear in New Orleans, most bars are casual
Designer handbags. You may as well hold up a neon sign that says “pick pocket the tourist”
