A Basic Traveller’s Kit Guide
with essentials things you need. The better prepared you are, the more
fun you will have on the trip. Here's a checklist of what should be
inside your traveler's kit.
*Medicine Kit
Never assume that no mishaps will happen on a trip. Even minor bruises
should be taken care of. Always keep your first- aid kit handy.
Treating wounds
Bring along a roll of bandage, safety pins and scissors. Tweezers might
be needed to pull out foreign materials that penetrate the skin. Bring
ointments and alcohols for treating abrasions. If you are prone to
allergies and itching, antihistamine medications like Benadryl should be
handy.
Common medicine
Carry along medicines that you are likely to use, like aspirin for
headaches, laxative for proper bowel movement and pain relievers. If you
have a runny nose, buy a couple of decongestant. Dehydration and motion
sickness is common when traveling, consult your doctor on which medicine
is appropriate for you.
Prescription drugs
Remember to bring along whatever medication you are taking. Bring enough
supply to last for the entire trip.
*Personal Hygiene Kit
This kit must include all your toiletries. This will keep you looking
fresh all the time.
Dental
Bring along your toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss. Buy a small
bottled mouthwash or if you have plenty of supply left, just transfer it
to a smaller container.
Hair
Carry along your favorite brush, comb and shampoo. Stuff in your hair
spray, hair cream and gels if you are using one.
Personal effects
This will include your make-up kit. Remember to bring only the cosmetics
that you are likely to use. Carry with you a handy mirror. You can bring
your manicure set too.
Skin protection
Keep your skin healthy by putting on sunscreen and lip balm as often as
you need them.
Bathroom needs
Bring along with you sets of toilet papers, soaps, towels and washcloth.
*Emergency Kit
This includes the stuff you might need like flashlights, lighters,
pocket knife and duct tapes. Mobile phones are important in case of
emergency, be sure to bring your charger and an extra battery.
*Leisure Kit
For added fun, you can bring along your travel journal, reading
materials and the locale's language book. Make the most out of fantastic
views with your binoculars and your camera.
There is no such thing as a standard traveler's kit. It varies upon the
place and the activities you'll do in a certain place. The above kits
are basically the essentials. Be sure to keep everything checked and
have a fun trip ahead!
