Travel Essentials

Whether you are a globetrotter or this is your first trip, or just want to have an idea about what to pack for travel, it is necessary to have a know-how on what to carry while you are travelling. You don’t want to hurt you hands and shoulders, at the same time you don’t want to miss out on any important stuff. It can be quite daunting trying to figure to what to pack. So I bring this article which will provide a brief guidance on this topic.

1. Take as little as possible. Carry only the essentials and if you feel the need to get some minor things, you can buy them, like an umbrella or a light jacket.

2. Write down a list of what you think you will need, and scratch the less important stuff off the list. You don’t want to make your luggage unnecessarily heavy.

3. Carry a personal carry-on backpack or handbag and pack your basic toiletries and electrical devices in it.

4. Figure out your main luggage. Carry a rolling suitcase so that you don’t have to carry all your gear on your shoulders or back.

5. Always lock your luggage. That way you can avoid theft and keep your luggage safe. Carry travel-safe products which you don’t mind losing.

A list of this sort will help you figure out what you need to carry.

• 2 pairs of jeans, probably a blue and a black . They are the most versatile.
• 4-5 tops and t-shirts.
• A light sweatshirt or a stole to keep you warm if it gets chilly.
• 2 pairs of shorts/comfortable 3 quarters. They are the best when you are site seeing or just chilling by the beach.
• Girls can carry a maxi dress/knee length dress for some fancy outing. Boys can go for a blazer-trouser or simply a nice shirt with a trouser.
