With the festive season right around the corner, a lot of us are packing up and getting ready to hop on a plane,catch a train or get in the car and go on a VACATION! Or maybe later.
But before you sit back and enjoy a refreshing vacation, you must pack well to ensure you have a smooth travel. While all of us, have different requirements, here is a list of ten Travel Bag essentials that may come in handy :
- Light jacket/ shrug : Although most women already have a habit of carrying a shrug around, but this is a good idea for men too. Keeping a light jacket nearby is wise for when the AC is too low at the airport or the wind gets chilly. Women can also keep a stole with them. A fancy shrug or stole is a great style statement as well. Scarves and mufflers also serve the same purpose and can be a good alternative.
- Sunscreen : No matter where you go, this is an absolute essential. People often underplay the importance of carrying sunblocks, but sensitive skin or not, sunscreens are indispensable, irrespective of gender. Its not about fairness, but about basic skin care!
- Perfume / Deodorant : Living in a mostly hot weather all year round means, we, Indians are pro at sweating. And if you aren't a big fan of body odor, I think this particular item is self-explanatory. Keep fresh!
- Face wipes : Some might think these are just wet napkins, but these come in all sorts of varieties and flavours, and can serve many purposes like make-up removal, cleansing, sunscreen or the basic one, refreshing our facial area. Its like a mini face-wash session.
- Comb and make-up kit : This is only for the ladies, cause guys generally tend to care less about how they look. But no harm in carrying a comb, guys! Just saying. Ladies, we all have been through that moment, where we spot the perfect background for that awesome selfie... And who can go ahead with that without touching up their make-up or combing their hair a bit,first? These quickies mean a lot to us, click-happy gals! Right?
- Medicines : Whether you are travelling with elder family members, with kids or alone, you should never skip this essential, as you never know when a flu hits, you feel like puking or worse. So better be safe than sorry. A painkiller, a pain spray, a paracetamol, a crocin and something for the stomach are mandatory at all times. And ofcourse, a few band-aids.
- Identity proof and other papers : At all times, carry your passport, ID cards and other necessary paper with you. Not only does this ensure you have a hassle -free experience, but it also helps you in case you get lost and need help from the local authorities.
- Electronic stuff : And by this we mean, headphones, mobile chargers, music players, extra batteries, power banks, camera and ofcourse, the mobile phone! No travel is complete without music players and cameras. The rest is, well, needs no further elaboration.
- Water bottle and snacks : At all times, people, please carry a small bottle of water with you. We can do without food for a few hours but not water, so do not risk it. And if need be, stock up on some munchies as well. While you are at it, a bag of chips, a few chocolates and a sandwich for later won't hurt, right?
- Money : This is the last item and the most important definitely! DO NOT walk out that door without your wallet or purse, cause we all know, ATMs don't always greet us around every corner, when you are on a vacation. So this has no alternative. Carry enough to sustain, not enough to be robbed.
Happy Vacations!
