15 THINGS YOU SHOULD TAKE WITH YOU WHEN YOU TRAVEL ABROAD
Yes, the trip you've been expecting for months is so close and you need to start preparing your suitcase. So what are the most important things that you should take with you? We've compiled them for you.
1. Passport
Of course the most important thing you need to take with you when you travel abroad is your passport. The most important things you need to pay attention to on your passport are the expiry date and your visas.
2. Backpack
I do not ever leave my backpack back wherever we go. I don't suggest you to put your valuables in under-flight baggage. I'm using Lowepro photo hatchback 22 backpack which I can easily recommend you. The most beautiful side of this model is that you can hide your camera and other valuables in a special compartment which can be opened just from the back. This division which can also be allocated from the bag is very safe and it and provides extra comfort in everyday use. At the same time it has extra padded safe compartments for your laptop and beverages.
3. Camera
One of the must-have items for your travels abroad is a good camera. Although mobile phones can now take very good photos, nothing can match the quality of a professional camera. There are now compact models with interchangeable lenses that achieve DSLR quality. I can easily recommend the Samsung NX-1100, which I also use, due to its ease of use and elegance. If you are one of those adventurous friends who say they want to shoot both in the air and at the bottom of the sea, then your only option is a Gopro style action camera?
4. Chargers
One of the most forgotten objects while we travel abroad is the phone charger. They must be checked twice to avoid extra charges abroad.
5. Universal Travel Adapter
If you are going to travel to countries like the US, where the voltage is 110 or the UK where the outlet type is diffent, it is super logical to obtain this product beforehand because they can be very expensive at the airports.
6. Powerbank
Everybody knows that today's smart phones need a lot of juice and can barely complete the day with a night's charge especially considering the photo and video shooting and the use of wi-fi. A particular model that combines small size with high amperage makes sense.
7. Books
Whether on an aircraft or on a beautiful beach books are our best friends. Of course, instead of the classical books there are now e-book readers and tablets which can also satisfy your hunger.
8. A Pharmaceutical Little Bag
A little medicine bag which has painkillers, muscle relaxants, flu pills, vitamins, anti-nausea pills and plasters for your feet is an important necessity for your travels.
9. Swiss Army Knife
There are so many features of this tool. When you want to open a bottle of wine on the banks of the Sein in Paris or you need scissors if you have to do an urgent sewing, you will need this item. For campers and adventurers, a senior model is just indispensable
10. Neck Pillow
Especially inflatable ones, thanks to their not taking up any space, they can offer you a comfortable sleep on buses and trains wherever you go.
11. Guide
A guidebook that includes a map of your destination will be your greatest helper, especially in pre-travel planning and travelling. Thanks to smartphones, this issue has now become even easier. Especially companies like Lonely Planet have great guide applications. But since I'm a bit old-school, I always look for a guide that I can draw and scribble on.
12. Military Wallet
Yes, you heard right? An army wallet that goes from your neck into your t-shirt is a must-have, especially for backpacker friends who go on long trips. Keeping your wallet in the most unlikely place in your backpack will whet the appetite of purse-snatchers.
13. Empty Bags and Suitcases
On the way back you will probably have too many things to fit into your suitcase. The planes have usually around 20 kg of luggage limit. If you take space-saving bags that can be wrinkled or even air drawn to save space, you will have the chance to take your stuff on the plane with you.
14. Comfortable Sneakers
Walking is the most beautiful way to discover a city. A comfortable pair of sneakers will be your most important companions.
15 Macintosh
During your travels abroad, especially if you are going to a geography with a tropical climate or a place longing for the sun, such as England, you can also put it at the top of the list.
