Who does not love a great travel diary? Yet, we are the same people that crave for home comfort once when we are on the road. Isn’t it strange? Why does this happen? Home is where the heart is for sure. Moreover home is where all the essential enablers of work, living, and personal comfort are.
While it may not be possible for you to carry all your belongings with you when living out of a suitcase, there are a few essential things that you can carry. Take a look at this list of the ten bare minimum essential things that we recommend you to carry on your tour.
A Backpack and a Comfortable Pair of Shoes
You always carry your stuff in your suitcase or heavy duffle bags for your journey, but this time we suggest you switch to backpacks. The comfy backpacks are light weighted, equally balanced and leverage space to fit in your required stuff and most importantly your backpack can be used anywhere and won’t be a liability for you. Further, it is also advised to cut on heavy fashion and focus on comfort during your trip. No matter if you take a bus, car, train or flight, you will have to walk a lot on the entire journey. Instead of fancy heels and sandals switch to a comfortable pair of shoes that can support the load at your back (backpack).
Keep Antibacterial Wipes Handy
Do you know about the harmful effects of bacterial infection? It can be as deadly as keeping you sick for weeks and mostly, these enter our body through dirty food or things that we touch. Hence, always carry some antibacterial wipes handy to wipe the places where you eat and to keep your hands safe from bacteria’s.
Munch on Healthy Snacks
As long as your stomach is loaded everything else seems perfect and so does your journey! While packing for your trip, carry some healthy snacks to accompany you on your trip that can be consumed in a grab and go. These healthy snacks will not just satisfy your hunger bud, but it will also fuel you to hop places with the loaded energy at your trip. Some of the suggested snacks are nuts, dry fruits jerky and granola bars that are tasty and easy to consume.
Access to Electronic Devices and Internet Connectivity
Do you know what lies ahead of you during your tour? You may have a set itinerary for your tour and may have plans based on the compartmentalization of time for the discharge of specific tasks. All these plans may go for a toss if your boss calls you during the trip to complete a file for a top-notch client. It’s the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of a situation that can hit you anywhere and everywhere. You need to be prepared for any situation that may come your way. Hence, it is advised to always carry a portable internet connection device to tackle such situations with ease. Also, the internet can act as a calculated guide that can take you places on your journey- keep it intact to ease your travelling experience and get things handy.
Good Compact Camera
To capture each moment during your travel, carry a slim and compact, light weighted camera that can be easily accessed when required. Capture the moment with your compact camera to cherish upon it later- because the power of photographs can ooze the adrenaline rush in your blood!
Keep Some Backup Money
Would you like your financial issues to interrupt you while you enjoy the enchanting beauty of the hills? If no, you need to back up your financial game. Deposit money in the card that you don’t generally use and that can be used in case if you run out of money anytime in between the trip. Also, make sure you don’t purposely use the backup money as it will add to your total cost of the trip.
Switch to Money Belts
You should pay extra attention to keep your money safe while you travel. Hence, you shouldn’t leave your money in the backpack as it at your back and can be easily stolen when you keep it aside or when you are not attentive enough. Instead, switch to a money belt as it is the safest and the easiest mean of carrying money while travelling- though it might look a bit out of fashion, yet it facilitates your journey like a pro.
Carry a Personalized First Aid Kit
Take extra care of yourself when you are out on a journey especially if you are prone to certain allergies. Carry a personalized first aid kit with medicines for some general problems such as infection. Allergies and fever to ensure a safe and happy journey
Always Carry your Passport and Important Documents
Are you travelling abroad? If yes, it is important to keep prints of all your important documents required, such as passports, itineraries and other documents handy. Also, leave the other set of the same document back at home for an emergency backup. If you completely rely upon digital sources of documenting it can backfire in case if you lose your electronic device- therefore, be prepared for any situation that may come your way because nobody can stop you from enjoying the fullest at your trip.
Say No to Cigarettes While Traveling
Passive smoking is more harmful than active smoking. Hence by smoking, you do not just harm your lungs, you also harm the people around you. If you are addicted to smoking, we suggest you to use Electronic cigarettes while you travel. Think of the many alternatives that are available. You may opt for a nicotine patch that allows your body to receive nicotine without any harm to your lungs. Else you may decide to avoid smoking with new trend of e-cigarettes that produce low smoke and are comparatively less harmful.
