✈️ Travel Documents

Your documents are the key to a smooth journey. Always double-check these before you leave:

• Valid passport (with at least 6 months before expiration)

• Visa(s) if required for destination

• Copies of passport, visa, driver’s license, travel insurance (digital & paper)

• Emergency contacts list (family, embassy, bank)

🩺 Health & Safety

Staying healthy on the road ensures you can focus on the fun parts of travel. Pack:

• Travel insurance (medical + trip coverage).

• Prescription medications in original bottles, plus extra copies of prescriptions.

• A small first-aid kit (bandages, pain relievers, motion sickness tablets).

• Vaccination records (if required).

• Hand sanitizer, masks, and wet wipes.

• Hydration & Immune Boosts: Water bottle + vitamin C and zinc = energy & wellness.

🧳Packing & Luggage

Pack smart and keep it light! Here’s what you’ll want:

• Weather-appropriate clothing (think layers and comfy walking shoes).

• Travel-size toiletries (under 100ml if carry-on).

• Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.

• Sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

• A small travel lock for your luggage.

• Comfort items like a travel pillow, earplugs, and eye mask.

💸 Money & Finances

Nothing ruins a trip faster than money problems. Make sure you’re covered:

• Local currency for taxis, tips, and small shops.

• Credit/debit cards (and notify your bank before you travel).

• A backup card stored separately from your wallet.

• Download finance apps (Revolut, Wise, or XE Currency).

💡 Tech Essentials

Technology can make your trip smoother and safer. Don’t forget:

• Phone & charger.

• A universal power adapter (bonus if it has USB ports).

• Portable power bank for long days out.

• SIM card or international roaming plan.

• Laptop or tablet if you’ll be working on the go.

🌐 Trip Essentials

Keep all your trip details in one place to make life easier:

• Flight tickets/boarding passes (digital + paper backup).

• Hotel reservations and confirmation numbers.

• Transportation details (airport transfers, train/bus passes, rental car info).

• Offline maps (Google Maps offline or Maps.me).

• An itinerary with key addresses (hotel, embassy, nearest hospital).

🏡 Before You Leave Home

Don’t forget to prepare your home before jetting off:

• Arrange house, pet, or plant care.

• Set an out-of-office reply for email if needed.

• Pay any upcoming bills.

• Secure your home (timed lights, unplug electronics).

• Leave photocopies of important documents with someone you trust.

✅ Final Tip: Carry-On Essentials

Always pack a “just in case” kit in your carry-on. Include your passport, wallet, phone, meds, snacks, and a change of clothes in case your checked bag gets delayed.
