Hi Everyone!!
If you are reading this blog, I must assume that you
have already planned for a destination and almost all the journey dates are
set. I hope you don't want to miss any accessories to carry in your decided
destination.
Now the checklist will be categorized according
to some condition where you are visiting and at what time. But there are
certain things for sure which are always need to be carry everywhere.
Complete Checklist Which Everyone Should Carry While Traveling to Any
Place:-
1.
LUGGAGE
Be wise while
selecting the luggage. Carry minimum luggage. If you are travelling near by
then avoid heavy luggage. Always try to take luggage which can easy to carry. Why we need to avoid heavy luggage?
1.
No need
to wait for your luggage at Airport Belt. Hence save time.
2.
Sometimes
some airlines charge extra money for luggage (not hand luggage).
3.
You can
freely roam anywhere at any time.

IMPORTANT
DOCUMENTS
If you
are going abroad, and you are not ready with your passport, then without any
time waste, please apply for it. Once passport is ready, apply for VISA
depending on the country you are visiting. Don’t make any hinder in your way when
you have prepared your mind to travel.
Not only
passport is necessary also be ready with all your documents, depending where
are you travelling. If you are travelling in your country only, don’t forget to
take your own identity proof. If you are a student, always carry student ID
card, you never know where you get a facility for being a student. Most
Important, if you are taking any medicine in regular basis, always carry your
prescription. It will help in case of emergency.
Beside
this, I don’t think I need to tell you this, don’t forget to take cash, debit
and credit card, your flight tickets (carry age proof if you have booked your
airline tickets under the senior citizen category). Always study beforehand
about the currency, their exchange centre (if travelling abroad) and carry
important address and guide map tour for that country.

pockets, in some bags). Same applies for important documents also. Always carry
Xerox copy or save all the documents in mail(so that if you misplace any
document, you can show the copy from your mail or the Xerox copy you have).
3.
MORNING
ACCESSORIES
Most of the
reader will agree that once in their travel they might forget to take Tooth
Brush. If they haven’t forgot any time, then hats off!!! 😊
Well don’t
forget to take your tooth brush wherever you go. Although you can buy a new one
at any time, but if you are travelling abroad buying a new one will may take up
your time. Infact some good hotels also provide tooth brush and paste both. So,
you can check the hotel’s facility before booking. You must carry your own face
wash/face scrub even if the hotels are providing you the same. You might get
rashes if you change your face wash and it will ruin your all good captures in
your camera. With this one important thing is to take your shaving kit too.

FOOT WEARS
Who don’t
want to flaunt their sandals and shoes? Some people are totally crazy about
their shoes/sandal and they try to take all of them while travel. BUT IT’S A BIG
NO!!!!
Always
carry one pair of sandal/shoes with you. Select your foot wear according to the
place you are visiting. If you are going for trekking, heels are big NO!!. If
you are going to beaches, sport shoes are BIG NO!!!. Try to avoid heels if you
have to walk whole day. So always carry foot wear wisely. Always take bathroom
slippers with you wherever you are going. It helps a lot.
FOOT WEARS

Slippers (always carry this)

Sport Shoes with Socks

5.
MAKEUP
ACCESSORIES
Girls, these part is for you only. I know how
crucial a makeup is for almost every girl. But I will suggest if you are going
for a luxury holidays and don’t want to explore much in that place, then you
can carry your favourite stuffs. But what is essential here is sunscreen
lotion, comb and mini mirror. If you are visiting during summers, don’t forget
to take face wipes.
NOTE:- Don’t Take Your
Whole Makeup Stuff. Take Only One from Each Category. For example, take only one face powder, sunscreen. Try to
save some space in your bag as you will buy some souvenir and stuffs for you
and relatives while coming back.

Cosmetics (e.g. Primer, Foundation, Face
Powder, Highlighter, Eyeliner, Kajal, Nail Paint, Lipstick- as per your

CLOTHES AND
ACCESSORIES AS PER WEATHER CONDITION
Now once you have decided your destination,
check the weather over there. Please don’t carry too much clothes. Only carry
your favourite dresses, as you will wear that only. Don’t forget to take rain
coat/umbrella if you are visiting at the time of rainy season.

SAFETY AND
MEDICAL EQUIPEMENTS
I know how much valuable things are. So, don’t
forget to carry bag locks, especially if you are travelling in trains. If you
are a solo traveller always carry a pepper spray for your own protection. As
told earlier also, don’t carry too much cash in your one pocket. Try to put
your cash in different places, like in your hidden pockets of your shirt,
jackets, inner or in your luggage. If you are travelling with a family, make
sure everyone has some cash (even if it’s a child of 10 years, he must have
little cash’), it will help if one is struck in an unknown place.
Beside this, one important thing that need to
carry is the medical equipment depending upon your health conditions. Below I have
mentioned some important things which need to be carry:-
SAFETY EQUIPEMENTS
|
Bag Locks
|
Pepper Spray (must for solo travellers)
|
Hidden Pockets in your jackets/inners
|
Medical Kit (Personal Hygiene item, Female
hygiene item, contact lens, Bandage/Band-aid, Medical Prescription, Medicines
(for vomit, headache, motion sickness cold), eye drop, thermometer)
|
8.
FOOD
Now why food is so much important to carry?
If you are going abroad, and the food is costlier over there, you can save your
money by taking electric kettle with you. HOW?
Electric Kettle will save your money in
making tea/coffee, preparing Maggi. Infact you can boil eggs also. But make
sure, first check with hotels you have booked as some of them provides kettle
in room. Also, if you are carrying kettle, take milk powder, sugar, tea and
coffee bags with you.
Along with this carry handy foods like
biscuit, chips and any dry snacks to fill your stomach in emergency.
FOOD
|
Electric Kettle **
|
Milk powder, Tea/Coffee Bags
|
Sugar/salt
|
Maggi
|
Handy Foods (Biscuits, Chips, Snacks) to fulfil
your hunger in emergency
|
** This is required for those who loves tea/coffee and don't want to
spend much money in buying that. Can also be used for making Maggi and
boiling of egg. Thus, saves money and time. Some good hotels provide kettle,
just check this out before packing

9.
EXTRAS
Unluckily
we sometimes booked some hotel which are not at all good and you find that the
bedsheet and pillow are not clean. At that time, one spare bedsheet can save
your one night. Taking one bedsheet and air bag pillow help a solo traveller a
lot, who prefer to stay with locals or hostel. Also if one is doing overnight
journeys in train or bus, it might help you a lot.
EXTRAS
|
Bedsheet ***
|
Air Bag Pillows***
|
Mosquito coils (if you are visiting any
destination in rainy/summer and required mosquito repellents)
|
Water Bottle
|
*** This is required for solo
traveller, who avoids staying at hotel and lives with local. Keeping this
handy will avoid chaos. Family traveller can also take this, it might help
them in overnight journeys in train.
|
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, DON’T FORGET TO TAKE CAMERA AND YOUR MOBILE TO CAPTURE YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORIES.
ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT
|
Camera and its charger
|
Mobile and its charger
|
Selfie Stick
|
Torch Light (Sometimes help you a lot at
night)

Hope this list will saves lots of time for making your own checklist every time you visit any destination. You have to do only one thing, just open this list and make your own checklist. Let me know in comment section if I have miss anything to include. Thanks for reading this blog.
