8 Items I Always Remember To Keep With Me While Traveling

Probably everyone loves to travel and see new things in the world. Traveling is really fun and there are lots of things to learn on the planet.

Like everyone, I also love to travel, but there are a few things that I always forget and buy the same things over and over again.

So, here is the list of small things which we normally forget to keep while traveling. This can be a small thing but it is not with you while travel, then it can change the way of your travel.

You can write down or take the picture of these key points, using a notepad or anything else which will help you while planning your trip to-do list.

Earphones or a headset

It looks like a small thing but if it is with you, then you can listen to your favorite podcast or an audiobook. If you are carrying a laptop while traveling, it's better to take your headset. Both of the things are small in size which you can put in your bag or luggage.

Pro tip: Don't listen to music loudly if you are waiting for a train or a plane so that you don't miss any call or the ride.

Sunglasses and/or earmuffs

You might need both of the things if you are planning to travel in the winter or fall, or at least you need sunglasses if you are traveling in the spring or summer. I always keep my sunglass in the bag.

Pro tip: If you are using expensive sunglasses, always use an extra protective cover.

Cables and adapters

It is a very small but very important part. Your device's cables and adapter can play a major role in your travel. For example, if you forget the charging system of your device or lose it and somehow you cannot buy it on time, how will you charge your device? To avoid these situations, keep 2 extra cables in your bag.

Water filters

A water filter can be an essential part of your traveling, especially it is important when you hike, camp, or love an adventure. You may be in a place where it is not safe to drink water or drinking tap water may sick you. A water filter is a true lifesaver.

Earplugs

Earplugs can be a lifesaver. They are useful when traveling with many people around you. They are also perfect in hotels because not everyone has common sense. I usually buy in bulk when it comes to earplugs and have at least 3 bags with me. Most earplugs can be reused, but some are single-use. If you're using reusable earplugs, make sure you have a clean bag to store them in.

External charger

It is a very required thing, no matter if you are traveling by bus, train or plane. Technology made it very small like a pocket diary. It can keep your phone on for at least 2 days. If you have the external charge, then you don't need to look at your phone battery percentage again and again.

Luggage lock

Probably a regular traveler cannot forget the luggage lock. Even though it is a small size but it makes your travel full of joy without any worry. You can leave your passport and other valuables in the luggage and the lock help you feel safer.

Mini first-aid kit

You can buy a mini first aid kit or make your own with the things you need. If you have one, take a small bag, and put bandages, vitamin C, acetaminophen, hand sanitizer, eye drops, and painkillers if you have a chronic illness. Don't forget about activated carbon either.

In conclusion, these are the things, which I normally carry with me while traveling and also suggest to my traveler friends.

In addition, you may need wet and dry wipes, mints, shampoo, at least one small towel, sun cream, books, or some personal items like contact lenses, contact lens solutions, and other things you use in your day-to-day life.

Don't over pack your bags so that you can enjoy your trip. However, if you forget something, you can replace it as long as you have documents and money with you.
