Rucksack backpack for traveling

Rucksack backpacks are very essential for traveling anywhere because they are easy to carry and can be used for trekking as well. You can carry a rucksack bag with you every time whether its mountain trekking or day tour. Although, your traveling bag size should be medium which allows you to carry your bag as check-in (baggage) in the flight.
Most international flights allow check-in bags of a specific amount (weight) or size. Medium size bag can carry up to 15 days of essential items like clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. Therefore, you can save money on heavy luggage if you carry only required things. Your bag size should range from 40 L to 60 L because bags larger than 60L or smaller than 40L are not helpful. Usually, people carry more things when they have large bags which they don’t need at all. Also, the small bag doesn’t allow carrying essential things.

Trimmer for travel

Who doesn’t like to look good in photos? While traveling, you meet other travelers and the first impression is always important. Trimmers are very important as they are rechargeable. However, you can carry a shaving kit instead of trimmers. But shaving is a lengthy process as compare to trimming and also trimmers are very small nowadays.
Some good brands like Phillips, Panasonic, etc are quite reliable as well as long-lasting. Additionally, you can choose trimmers, charged using power banks or mobile charger as well.
Traveling power bank
Power banks are as important as smartphones. Get a power bank below 20 watts rating because many airlines don’t allow power banks more than 20 watts.
Due to heavy usage, mobile phones and cameras discharged quickly. Additionally, you won’t get charging points on the move and also you don’t need to stop for charging. You can charge your mobile phone and camera(USB) as well if you have more than 15000 mAh power banks.
Additional travel charger
Mobile phones drained fast while traveling because of using navigation and keeping brightness high due to outdoor. That leads to charging your phone more often. I’ll definitely recommend you carry an extra mobile charger with you.
Generally, people forget their chargers in the hotel/hostel. Also, electronics items can stop working anytime but mostly where you don’t want. Therefore, having an extra charger can be life-saving.
Sunglasses for travel photo
Sunglasses are also very important because people generally travel in the daytime. Which makes it difficult to see things in the day time and also you’ll get a

Small towels are easy to dry and can be used for face and hand drying. Most traveling is done in the day time and that can be hot. Also, who doesn’t want to look fresh every time they click photos. A small towel can easily be carried in a small bag if you have one. Although you can carry tissue wipes but towels are reusable and inexpensive compares to tissue wipes.
You can easily get some branded and very soft small towels on Amazon and you can compare different brands altogether.
Slippers for trekking
Generally, people either carry expensive slippers or they don’t carry slippers at all. If you are traveling to a desert place or beach then you should carry good slipper but inexpensive. Buying slippers from touristy places can be expensive or you may not find your size. Cheap slippers are important as you cannot wear shoes all day long. No worry if you forget them in your hostel/hotel or anywhere.
Credit card for traveling abroad
Many travelers are traveling free by just using credit cards in their favor. You can use reward points earned from using a credit card which can help you to save money on travel at least.
- There are many credit card companies that provide reward points as a welcome offer.
- You can use a credit card to pay for monthly expenses like groceries, electricity bill, mobile bill, gasoline (petrol/diesel), etc.
- Collect reward points so you can use them for traveling(flight tickets, accommodation).
Credit cards can be handy in a bad situation as well as you can use reward points to pay for your flight tickets or hotel. Some countries have very low transaction charges (transaction charges are additional charges when you pay using your credit card like a restaurant, taxi(online), shopping, etc.)
However, credit card usage is not advised on your international trip. Basically, don’t use your credit card outside your country otherwise you’ll be charged high(transaction charges). However, keep 1-2 credit cards as a backup but don’t use until it’s
Why not use the credit card on an International trip

Trekking shoes for rent or sports shoes
Walking or trekking sports shoes are good for traveling. However, you can use any sports shoes (running) but you can use walking shoes that are not expensive and lightweight. You should avoid expensive shoes if you are staying in hostels. You will have to leave your shoes in a common area and you may lose them.
Lightweight trekking shoes can also be used also because there are many brands that provide multi-purpose (walking and trekking) shoes. Walking in a lightweight shoe will be comfortable as well as easy to carry with luggage. Comfortable shoes are very essential and you should be
Swimming wear for beach
Swimming wears are also important to carry with you and buy them before you travel. Basically, you can select size and color and also you can try different brands. Swimming costumes are as important as any other item in these travel accessories because you can not swim in your casual wear. Although you can rent swimwear but not recommended.

Waterproof mobile pouch Decathlon
Nowadays people do carry a waterproof pouch for mobile but not many people understand the importance of waterproof pouch for mobile. I’ll just share one incident with you:-
Short story on “why waterproof mobile pouch is important?”
Me (non-swimmer) and one of my friends (Sami average swimmer) were kayaking at Raiely Beach, Phuket, Thailand. In the middle, Sami wanted to click some photos because the view was amazing. Afterward, he took out his mobile phone from a waterproof bag which was provided by the boat vendor. This bag provided for keeping things dry while I was waiting for him to finish, so I could take photos.
Suddenly we saw 1 large wave came toward us and next second we were in the water. Sami had his phone in his hand when that wave hit us. He dropped his phone in the water because that’s human nature when it comes to life or death.

What you can learn from this incident?
When in water never take out your electronic gadgets or keep them in a waterproof pouch(case). You may still lose your phone in water even in a waterproof bag. Only take out when you are confident enough to keep it safe.
Sunscreen lotion for tanning
Tanning and sunburn are very common while traveling. You should always use good branded sunscreen with a rating SPF 50 or more. There are many brands available online. This one is also an important travel gear for women. Out of all, I would recommend these 3 sunscreen brands international travelers are using.
- Lakme
- Nivea
- Himalaya
All these brands are tested and trusted by millions of users and rated 4+ stars on Amazon. Choose sunscreens according to your skin requirement otherwise go for all types of skin sunscreen.

International travel insurance is highly recommended as well as the most important for travelers even if you are traveling for 2-3 days.
However, many countries won’t allow you to enter without travel insurance. But some countries do allow entry without travel insurance. People consider this as an opportunity for money saving and don’t buy travel insurance at all. Never travel without travel insurance because bad things can happen unexpectedly. Not having travel insurance al all can empty your pocket or you have to end your trip in the middle.
Therefore, research for the best travel insurance from a trusted company before buying. There are 100’s of insurance companies
