New
Year, new plans, hopefully a lot of traveling for all of you.
Before
every trip the question always comes up, what are key things what you need to
have in your backpack?
What
can’t you leave at home?
1.
Extra money on a credit card - with credit card you can almost pay everywhere
for everything, much more safe and practical than carrying tons of cash – the
amount depends on what kind of trip you are going.
In
the 99% of the cases you will not need this, because luckily there will not be
an unexpected/emergency situation, and at the end you will have some extra
money, which you can use to make some special memories (still unexpected event,
but a positive one)
2.
Your hobby - especially for longer trips, it’s a good idea to take with you the
thing what makes you relaxed at home. It will help you to connect yourself with
the new environment.
3.
Travel book (Lonely planet) - first it can look like a lame thing, but it’s not
at all. In some countries you have to be prepared that maybe you won’t reach
the 4G internet. At the end it will have an emotional connection with you and
with the trip
4.
One book/ebook - trips are not always about endless action, you will stay a lot
of times at airports/train stations/bus station and other stations, or just
rest in your bed. In this situation its very useful, and somehow the trip has
an effect on the book itself and how it affects you.
5.
Tour sandals - yes.yes.yes. "How will I look like?? Nooo!!!"
Who
cares!? It’s the most practical thing ever. For hiking, city tour, beaches, you
can use it everywhere. Small, easy to clean, you can use it everywhere and
durable...and ugly, but still, who cares? You are on a trip, not on a
ball. The mountain tribes will give a
100% shit about what kind of shoes you wear.
6.
Half of the cloths you would think - takes a lots of space, its heavy and most
of the time totally for nothing. Check the weather of your destination, add an
extra pullover and then just leave the half of the cloths at home that you
prepared to take with you.
7.
One towel - you always need one towel.
If
you have some extra tips, don’t keep it in yourself, share it with us!
