5 Things You Shouldn't left behind When Traveling (No. 4 is Unusual)

Making your traveling dreams come true is a laudable achievement. However, how much you enjoy the trip depends on how well you prepared for it and any eventualities that may arise. Here are five important things you shouldn't forget before travel.

Medicine and First Aid Supplies

While packing, it is essential to prepare for health emergencies. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you check with the consulate or embassy to know if your type of medication is allowed.

Include allergy medication, antibiotics, eye drops, insect repellents and antibiotic ointment topical treatment of scrapes and scratches. Motion sickness medication is essential too.

Opt for the non-drowsy type, so you don't miss anything on your trip. Other valuable items to include in the kit include basic first aid items, oral re-hydration packs, sunscreen, antiseptic solution, hand sanitizers, and pain relief medication.

Another important thing to remember if you travel with a pregnant woman always take care of her needs like medicines and others and try to make her happy.

Portable Charger

Traveling involves the use of electronic devices heavily. Keeping up with family when away, taking breath-taking images, and keeping tabs on what is happening around the world necessitate regular charging of your gadgets.

Keeping them powered up all the time can be tough if you don't prepare adequately before traveling. A portable charger is a must-have for your trip. It will keep your phone, camera and other devices charged all the time. A universal adapter is also crucial in ensuring they do not blow up.

Reusable Water Bottle

Buying water when traveling can be expensive. Carrying a reusable water bottle saves you money as you can get refills from public water fountains and sinks. Since you might not always be sure of its safety, carry one that has a water filter attached to it. Some water purifying tablets could also work.

Having a water bottle ensures that you stay hydrated at your convenience. Also, it is environment-friendly and is adaptable for other uses. These include serving as a hot water bottle to warm your surrounding at night or for storing your toothbrush.

Extra Pair of Socks

Long flights have an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Compression socks are a simple, safe and inexpensive way of preventing blood from pooling in one place. The proper compression socks improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of swelling and clotting when traveling for long hours. They are designed to squeeze your legs which encourage blood to move more efficiently. To know more about compression socks Feetstrap is the right place for you.

Other than using them on your flight, you can still use the socks on your hikes and other outdoor activities during your travel. Just ensure that you get the right size. They should not be too tight.

Flash Light

A flashlight is invaluable when you are traveling yet, a lot of people tend to forget one. It will be great for that moment you are in an unfamiliar place, and the lights go off. The type of flashlight you carry depends on your destination. You may need a waterproof pen light when taking a trip to a humid area or a headlight when going for hikes.

LED lights are the best flashlights as they are lighter and more compact. Their batteries also last longer, so you do not have to worry about flickering light as you read your favorite book on your vacation.

So, Let's follow these guidelines and make your travel comfortable and hassle-free.

Happy Travelling.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
