Pack your essentials!

Planning a holiday? Destinations may vary but irrespective of where you are heading to some items should be packed for travel regardless of the mode and the destination. There are so many times that you forget the most essential things while you are traveling, to avoid this , here is a list of travel essentials for a happy and comfy journey.

Sunscreen

Whether you are planning a trip to the mountains or a beach holiday, sunscreen is a necessity. The sun on slopes is just as strong and damaging to the skin as the sun on a beach. But you may not sense it because of the cold climate.

Prescription medicines

Make sure there are enough doses to last for the entire trip. It can be difficult to refill prescriptions out of town and almost impossible to refill them overseas.

Hand sanitiser

Hand sanitiser is a great way to keep hands clean and germ free when travelling in areas where clean water may not always be available.

First aid kit

A first aid kit is always a good idea especially if traveling in an area where you do not speak the language.

Camera

Dont forget to carry your camera and camera batteries. I feel clicking pictures is the best part on any vacation. You have so many memories which you could possibly capture, get it back and show your friends and family.

Smartphone

These days, there are so many apps like Google translate, currency converter, weather forecast apps that help you have the perfect vacation without a glitch. Download these apps are you are ready to go!

Ziplock bags

Ziplock bags are great for packing toiletries which might leak in a suitcase. The seal on the bag will keep most liquids inside even if the bottle leaks.

Photocopies

Photocopies of important documents like passports, drivers licenses and even credit cards should be packed in your suitcase. All the suitcases that you are carrying should have the photocopies of these documents. If a wallet or a purse is stolen, the copies make it easier to replace these documents.

Travel maps

Travel maps of the area make finding your way in a strange place easier. Members of auto clubs can usually get maps of most cities at no charge. Obtain maps before leaving on a trip to make sightseeing easier.
