In 2020, I was lying in bed in Torquay, England, trying to figure out what to do with my life.
The Packing Essentials You Need for a Medi-Spa Retreat
18.10.2024 - 16:31 / cntraveler.com
I'm no stranger to packing a carry-on, but when I checked in to Lanserhof Tegernsee— a medical spa slap bang in the middle of miles of beautiful Bavarian countryside—the contents of my suitcase looked a little different to the last time I took to the skies. Gone were breezy two-pieces and flowing maxi dresses best suited to islands in Greece or the Balearics, and in were minimalist separates with an athleisure twist. Ahead lay a week of analysis, detoxification, and reflection. Here’s what I packed and why.
I love a soft-sided suitcase and the Antler Lightest carry-on is my current favorite. No classic handbag was necessary for this trip, so I took the trusty Uniqlo crossbody bag and a card holder for the flight, then slotted a foldable tote into my suitcase for days at the spa.

The medi-spa experience can be tailored to individual needs, but I knew there would be physical movement and nutrition rules involved in my plan so I packed accordingly and chose pieces I could mix and match depending on the activity and the weather. I also had a baseball cap on hand—one that I could wear both during and after exercise.
Sneakers are the obvious choice when it comes to days off duty. Especially for this trip, when an hour’s walk through the German countryside was a morning ritual. At home, my gym go-to is the Nike Quest 6 running shoes, so they were first in my suitcase. They’re also lightweight: a winner when you’ve got a carry-on weight limit. For a slightly smarter alternative and something to wear on the flight, I took the suede Adidas Handball Spezial. I love that this shape dates back to the '70s and even though it's more of a fashion piece today, it was initially designed for indoor sports, so it’s still super comfy. Lastly, Birkenstocks were non-negotiable. I take them on most trips and wear them throughout the summer in London, too.
Sarah Allard's daytime look for the wellness retreat
It’s not every day you find yourself taking an alpaca for a walk through forests and fields, but when you do, it’s fuss-free separates that you need. My natural aesthetic (unintentionally) fitted with the vibe at Lanserhof where everything felt clean-cut and cleansing. Linen separates were the hardest working pieces in my rotation, and they’ll work just as well on the trip I've planned to Crete for next month.

The Best Time to Visit Madrid
The best time to visit Madrid varies, and it depends on what you're looking for on your trip to Spain. Poolside lounging and people-watching in plazas under guaranteed sunshine is possible between mid-spring and early autumn, but the height of summer can make outdoor sightseeing a little unbearable. Madrid’s restaurants are fabulous year-round, and the food scene is thriving like never before, but there’s a charm to scouring the local markets and following fellow foodies as they spill into sprawling parks to tuck in either side of the midday sun. Here, we run through the seasonal highlights of the Spanish capital, explaining why it’s possible to uncover a new side to the city every month of the year.

My family moved from California to Germany. I expected we'd travel throughout Europe with the kids, but I realized no one was enjoying it.
When I relocated from California to Germany four months pregnant with my second baby, I fantasized about the places my husband and I were going to take our children — swimming on the Greek islands, exploring Slovenia's rugged mountains, and taking in plays in London's West End.

Traveling to Europe Next Year? You’ll Need to Plan Ahead to Follow This New Rule
A last-minute trip to Europe is as romantic as it sounds. Not only is the spontaneity thrilling, but European countries lend themselves very well to travelers who appreciate local customs and enjoy exploring new places without a rigid itinerary. Often, impulsively turning down a cobblestoned street will lead you to an exceptional hole-in-the-wall wine bar, a short-notice boutique hotel booking will be the best place you’ve ever stayed, or a chance encounter with a local will lead to a life-long friendship. But come 2025, you will need to do a little planning before you cross the pond. Next year, the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) will come into effect. This rule will require visitors from visa-exempt countries to obtain a travel authorization before entering 30 European countries and this includes US travelers.
