Who's writing this:
I'm not a menopause expert, a travel expert, or an expat-life guru. I'm a 51-year-old woman who spent her career in corporate, lost her dad recently, is dealing with HRT that may or may not be working, and decided the next chapter is going to be lived somewhere with better light and slower mornings. I'm documenting all of it on Instagram and Pinterest as @menopausenomad. The checklist is one piece. The journey is the rest.
The Honest Carry-On Checklist for Menopausal Women
23 items I actually pack. 7 I stopped bringing. Written by a 51-year-old who travels carry-on only and is figuring out menopause in real time.
What's In The Checklist?
The 23 items I won't fly without (with brand-agnostic notes)
The 7 things I packed for years and finally stopped bringing
What goes in the personal item vs. the carry-on (the menopause edit)
The cooling/sleep kit that lives at the top of the bag for a reason
A printable one-page version for the women who like a paper checklist (it's most of you)
Why I Started Menopause Nomad
If you've ever stood in front of a hotel mirror at 3 a.m. wondering why no one warned you about this part of menopause — this is for you.
I’m 51. After nearly three decades in corporate leadership, I found myself asking a bigger question:
Where do I actually want to spend the next chapter of my life?
Right now, that answer may be Cyprus. Or Crete. I haven’t decided yet.
What I do know is this: menopause changed far more than my body. It changed how I want to live, work, travel, and move through the world.
I’m building toward a slower, more intentional life abroad while navigating hot flashes that ignore itineraries, sleep that now requires strategy, and a body that suddenly negotiates every carry-on item.
I’ve always traveled carry-on only.
Menopause renegotiated the contents.
The checklist I created isn’t influencer packing fantasy or affiliate-stuffed perfection. It’s the real list — what actually helps, what didn’t work, and what I stopped bringing entirely.
If you’re somewhere between “I wonder if I could do this” and “I’m actually doing this,” I made this for you.
