I am fortunate enough to be traveling abroad with my family to Ireland for 8 days this summer. As I was packing for this amazing opportunity I realized that there are in fact some essentials I need, and here they are!
1. Passport (duh)
You kinda need this one by default if you're leaving the country.
2. Euros (or the currency of the country you're visiting)
Because there's no way you're not going to buy all the souvenirs you can get your hands on!
3. A Camera
Honestly your phone will do just fine but feel free to embrace your inner tourist!
4. Proper Clothing
In my case rain boots and a poncho are a must regardless of weather predictions, because let's face it... it's almost always raining in Ireland.
5. Wall Adapter
Not every country has the same wall outlet so make sure to get the right adapter to charge your things!
6. Walking Shoes
Gym shoes are probably most ideal, I'm bringing my Vans and Converse; do whatever you're comfortable in!
7. SOCKS
Is there really such thing as too many socks? You never know when you might soil or lose a pair. And please wear socks (and shoes for that matter) on your flight.
8. A Selfie Stick
9. A Neck Pillow
I'm gonna have to learn this one the hard way, don't make the mistake I did.
10. AN OPEN MIND AND FREE SPIRIT!!!
If you have the opportunity to travel, have a fun time because you might not ever travel again!
