As a frequent traveler—and the daughter of a physician—I’ve learned that smart packing isn’t just about the right shoes or chargers. It’s about being prepared for whatever may come your way, from sudden illness to a scraped knee on a cobblestoned street. My dad, a longtime doctor and generally brilliant Mr. Fix-It, has always approached travel (and everything else in life) with a well-stocked, thoughtfully curated kit.  Over the years, his advice has shaped what I pack—and saved more than a few trips from being derailed by avoidable mishaps, from medical to mechanical.
