 A little thought and pre-planning can really change the way your trips will shape up. The general rule says  “packing light”, but it does not mean that one has to leave out some essential items. Given below are some accessories and items of immense importance that should be a part of every traveler’s luggage-

  • The kind of bag to carry - How much weight a person can carry when it comes to the bag? Will the bag go in the check-in, in case you are flying? What is the most convenient size of the bag, that helps you fit all the necessities? Would you rather carry a stroller? All these factors should be considered before picking a bag to pack all your necessities in.
  • Dry Snacks - Dry food items, like almonds, nuts, pretzels, protein bars and high fiber biscuits, will keep you satiated and you will be less likely to consume outside food that may lead to potential stomach problems.
  • Comfortable Shoes - This is by far the singular most important thing that will hugely influence your mood while travelling. Comfortable shoes that allow you to move quickly and have a good grip, like Crocs, sneakers, flip flops, sandals, will help keep your feet relaxed and prevent any bunions or calluses.
  • A good phone - The latest phones have great apps, like maps and directions, restaurants, medical facilities, language translators, gas stations, the local weather and embassies, which will help the traveler be in tune with the surroundings. Normally these phones have good inbuilt cameras, so you do not have to carry a camera separately.
  • Adaptors - If you are carrying a laptop, or a phone, then an adaptor is a necessity. Different places have different slots, and an adapter will enable you to connect to any of these.
  • First Aid Kit - A basic First Aid kit must never be left out, no matter how short the journey is or which place you are going to. A ziplock pouch makes an excellent first aid kit and should include some antiseptics, Band-Aids, cotton, and basic painkillers and anti-allergens. Insect repellents and sunscreen, along with any medications that you are currently taking, should also be included.
  •  Basic Toiletries - These include everyday essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gels and hair products.
  • Clothes - A light jacket for the journey, and appropriate clothing for the place you are traveling to should be carefully packed. An appropriate number of undergarments and options for layering, incase the weather changes, and a clean towel should be packed.
  • Passport Holder - A passport or any such document is the most vital proof of identity that a person can carry while travelling. It is important to keep such things, like tickets, passport, currency or id proofs, safe and in an easily accessible place. A good document holder that can be carried discreetly is a travel essential.

This list will of course change according to the purpose of travel, but is still a pretty generalized list of must-have travel accessories, which can make your travel experience hassle free.
