Travelling is great fun, no doubt! But surely there have been times when we rummage through our whole suitcase looking for something absolutely essential only to find it missing! Tough luck, right? Well, you no longer have to worry about that as we bring you a list of essentials you need to pack for your trip away.
Of course, there are always a few additions more depending on your type of trip , but this list is absolutely essential for any travel. So say hello to a bag full of only essentials!
Backpack
Well, if you are taking along a suitcase, don’t forget to chuck in a backpack as well! Backpacks are great for the many mini trips you will need, when you travel. They can just about carry torches, your favourite snacks, extra clothes, toiletries or just basically, anything. So don’t miss out on a neat back pack.
Money
You would always be travelling with your debit or credit card for sure. But carrying some currency on hand is always important. In case you are travelling abroad, try planning the currency exchange in advance rather than at the airport or worse still, on the streets leaving you vulnerable to mugging.
Camera
Need we say more? In the age of Instagram and Facebook, bragging about your travels is an absolute must! Go ahead, pack your best camera and get your memories treasured and preserved forever.
Sunglasses
Surely any type of travel involves sightseeing, hiking or frolicking on the beach? Well, need we say more about why sun glasses are your best friend in such a scenario? And what’s more, sun glasses help you make a fashion statement. Carry your sunglasses along even if rain is predicted.
Invest in the latest Victoria Becham/ Ray Ban sunglasses and we are sure you wouldn’t regret.
Medications
You just had a hearty meal at a new place and are soon rolling over with an upset tummy! Hard to look for a doc right away, see? So ALWAYS carry some basic medications for an upset tummy, fever, colds, insect bites and any small illnesses common on trips. And if you need daily medication like insulin or for thyroid, don’t forget to pack it too.
Wetwipes
This might sound mundane compared to the other must haves but wet wipes are saviors. They can double up as anything, right from wiping away any mess, freshening up, clean up scratches…. The list is endless. Be sure to chuck one into your travel kit right now.
Sim Card
This is for those travelling abroad. Stay in touch with your friends and family back home and also your local friends. The best way is to get an International SIM CARD and save on your big bucks. You can travel to over 160 countries on this SIM, there’s free incoming calls, online top ups and a host of benefits.
Notebook
There are loads of memories which cannot be frozen just in pictures. Your feelings, thoughts, need to be penned down so that you get all nostalgic when you read it later.
Met someone special, feeling serene? Jot down your travel experiences and note down all your expenses. A travel notebook comes in very handy. Make sure you pack one along in your travel kit.
Power banks
Absolute essential when you are on the go especially if you use your mobile a lot! By keeping a battery backup close by, you can top-up your device(s) while far from a wall outlet.
Books/music
Travel involves a lot of time spend in a car, bus or long haul flights. What better way to keep yourself entertained than with the latest music on your iPod or a racy novel? So don’t forget these mini entertainers on the go.
That’s it! You are all set to go. This list will sure help you out! But personalities differ! Add or remove a few items according to your choice. Bon voyage!
