10 Must-Have Travel Accessories For Every Trip
One
problem that confronts all female travelers is how to pack light. Bringing the essentials
means stuffing in at least two luggage bags for a few nights of travel. Oftentimes, many women travelers feel that
they didn’t pack “everything”. This is because we forget to carry essential
travel accessories.
Travel
items that can make your transit more comfortable are must-haves. If you are
trying to learn the art of packing light, start by bringing these things with
you.
Travel Pillows
Unless
it only takes less than 3 hours to get to your destination, it is important to
pack a travel pillow. Bring a pillow if you have long-haul flights or
long-distance train and bus rides to keep you well rested. Airlines may provide
pillows, but nothing can be more comforting than having a neck pillow to give
you good support while catching some sleep.
Pashmina
A
versatile clothing, a pashmina scarf can be your blanket, cover-up or as a chic
accessory. On top of it all, the fabric is lightweight and can easily be placed
inside your carry-on.
Travel Wallets
Tourists
are easy prey to pickpockets and thieves. No need to put your money in
specialized bras and other clothing; you can secure your cash and cards with
money belts and neck wallets. Neck wallets are great ways to hide even other
items like ID cards.
Travel organizers
Have
you found yourself misplacing your passport, your tickets and even bills? How
about important cards from credit cards to your hotel’s business card (bearing
their address)? Solve this with a travel organizer. One of the travel
accessories you should start buying, it makes transit fuss-free and avoid
losing important things that may cause delays and other inconveniences.
Medicines and toiletries
You
don’t have to bring all contents of your medicine cabinets, but make sure to
bring some essentials from your prescription drugs and vitamins to first-aid.
Bring hydrate tablets, bandages, and medicines for common colds and upset
stomach.
Hotels
do provide toiletries, but you can bring your favorite cream and perfume by
placing them in travel bottles.
Carrying case
Do
you need to attend dinners during your trip? Do you want to keep stylish while
you explore your destination? Place your jewelry from earrings to bracelets in
an eyewear case.
Wipes
Bring
some wipes for instant touch-ups and unplanned cleaning (food stains).
Traveling also puts you at risk with all the physical contacts from the
elevator railings to shaking hands with new friends. Those with kids must bring
antibacterial wipes for instant hand cleaning.
Water bottle
Keep
hydrated while you travel. Bring your empty water bottle through airport
security and fill them afterwards. When touring especially in humid places,
always bring water.
Earplugs or earphones
Instantly
zone out by bringing your own earplugs.
Keep your sanity when a poor child starts wailing during a flight with earplugs
or gracefully save yourself from an intrusive person you met during a bus or
train ride by pretending to listen to music.
Dried fruits
You
don’t know where hunger may strike as you travel. Travel also means keeping
your healthy lifestyle. With this, pack some dried fruits that you can snack on
while on the road. They don’t consume much space like the usual chips, yet they
give you fuel as you enjoy your trip.
These
travel accessories are very important for every trip. Bring them along and you
will have a hassle-free journey without bringing your whole closet.
