"The journey not the arrival matters"-said T.S Eliot. We all have a feeling of exhilaration when it comes to travelling, yet, the journey would become less pleasureable when we miss out on some stuff. Don't you think it might get irksome if we forget the most important neccessities while travelling?
You worry not! here are ten essential things you would want to carry while travelling.
A power bank/portable phone charger/adaptor
For those who don't have the access to sockets or different sockets(depends on the country you're in), power banks and adaptors are really helpful in charging mobile phones, laptops, cameras, etc. Want your electronic devices not to be dead while traveling? missing out the fun of uploading pictures on social media just because of the dead phone battery? without any second thought shove them right in!
First Aid kit
Technically speaking, hospitals are not always reachable while traveling. You might not want to wait for help when someone gets sick or someone's badly injured. This is when a first aid kit comes in handy.
A noise cancelling headphones/earphones
It definitely gets irritating if you have an annoying neighbor or a constant buzzing sound when you are on a plane or any other mode of transport. Once these noice canceling headphones are put on you might want to wonder "why have I been traveling all this while without these?!".
Pocket Sanitizer
Ususally, we touch a lot of stuff and our hands get dirty and we cannot expect to have clean or fresh water around us. At times like this, a pocket sanitizer is very useful in keeping our hands' germs free all the time.
Small Wallets
Especially when it comes to traveling, we would want things to be more organized and more compact without occupying much of the room. Tiny wallets are very useful in keeping passports, money, tickets, credit cards, etc in an organized manner. You won't mess up for sure!
Camera
Every traveler should definitely have a pocket camera 'cause why not! Everybody loves taking good pictures. Photos are like the return ticket to moments otherwise gone.
A Head Torch/LED torch
Very easy to forget about while packing, yet, an incredible device that comes in handy while traveling. A sudden power cut? can't find something in your bag because of no light? don't want to disturb your roommates while reading your book? then you're all sorted.
Essentials bag
The essentials bag is very useful in carrying things like a toothbrush, face wipes, medicine, deodorants, travel towel, etc.
Hydro Flask Water Bottle
It is very important to keep our body well hydrated while traveling. Hydro Flask water bottles are the best water bottles to keep up the temperature(hot or cold) of the water for a longer period of time.
Snacks!
Often times the food we get is not as delicious as we imagine it to be. In that case, small snacks that will fit in your backpack would be of great help. Also while trekking/hiking if you get hungry, you can grab a snack!
