Travelling can be a lot of fun, but only if you pack right. Else, you may find yourself sorely unprepared in an unfamiliar location. Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, here are a few accessories that you need to carry.
- Noise-cancelling headphones: Noise-cancelling headphones can help cut out the noise of the plane engine (and crying children), so you can fall asleep easily. Although Bluetooth headphones are extremely popular and convenient, wired headphones let you take advantage of the in-flight entertainment, making them great for long flights.
- Portable power bank: Whether you’re hiking through the wilderness or exploring a new city, you probably will not be spending a lot of time near a wall socket. That’s why it makes sense to carry a portable power bank along.
- Rain jacket: A rain jacket is another necessity (unless you’re travelling to a place that’s not likely to get any rainfall) since it will keep you dry in case of a sudden downpour. We recommend buying one that’s lightweight and easily foldable, so you can stow it away in your backpack or luggage when you’re not using it.
- Compression tights or socks: If you will be sitting in an aeroplane for hours, it’s best to change into a pair of compression socks or tights, which will aid circulation in your legs. This will keep your feet (and you) comfortable during the journey.
- Disinfecting wipes: There’s nothing worse than catching some sort of illness on the flight or once you’ve reached your destination. That’s why we recommend packing disinfecting alcohol wipes so you can use them when you’re on the go to stay safe.
- Travel adapter: If you are travelling to another country, make sure to carry a power adaptor. This will help you keep all your tech and devices charged at all times.
- Collapsible water bottle: A roll-up portable water bottle is a must, since it will help you remain hydrated during your travels. Buy one that’s sleek in order to save space.
