What to Bring & Travel Tips

What to Bring for Your Trip

Passport/ID: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months after your planned return.
Travel Insurance: It's always a good idea to have travel insurance for health, cancellation, or lost baggage
Tickets and Itinerary: Have a printed copy and digital version of your flight, accommodation, and activity details.
Currency: Bring the local currency or ensure you have a way to withdraw money upon arrival (e.g., ATM cards or travel cards).
Credit Cards: Inform your bank of your travel dates to avoid your card being blocked due to suspicious activity.
Copies of Important Documents: Make photocopies of your passport, visa, tickets, and insurance documents. Keep them separate from the originals.

Weather-Appropriate Clothing: Check the weather of your destination and pack accordingly. Bring versatile items you can mix and match.
Comfortable Shoes: Make sure you have sturdy and comfortable shoes for sightseeing and walking around.
Swimwear: If you're heading to a beach destination or hotel with a pool, don’t forget your swimwear.
Light Jacket or Sweater: Even in warmer climates, a light jacket or sweater can come in handy for cool evenings or air-conditioned spaces.
Rain Gear: A small, foldable umbrella or a rain poncho can be helpful, especially in unpredictable weather.

Toiletries: Bring travel-sized versions of shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, and other essentials.
Medications: Pack any medications you regularly take, as well as a small first-aid kit with bandaids, pain relievers, and any necessary prescriptions.
Hand Sanitizer and Wipes: These are essential for staying clean when you’re on the go.
Sunscreen: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays, especially if you're visiting sunny or tropical destinations.
Toilet Paper: In some countries, public restrooms might not supply toilet paper, so it’s always good to carry some.

Phone and Charger: Don't forget your phone and the necessary charging cables/adapters.
Power Bank: A portable charger is a lifesaver when you're out sightseeing and need extra battery life.
Camera or GoPro: Capture your trip with a camera or GoPro if you prefer to use something other than your phone.
Universal Power Adapter: If you're traveling internationally, bring a universal power adapter for your electronics.

Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated while reducing plastic waste.
Snacks: Pack some easy-to-carry snacks, especially for long travel days.
Travel Pillow and Eye Mask: For comfort on long flights or bus rides.
Ziplock Bags: These are useful for keeping wet clothes or small items organized.
