Six Essentials for Travelling This Summer

These things will help your travels feel easier and more enjoyable.

POSTED BY ANITA MOWETE

If you’ve got your holiday booked, outfits bought but wondering what else to pack, here are some essentials to have a great time traveling this summer.

TRAVEL PILLOW

Sleeping sat up is damn near impossible, but a travel pillow will up your chances of getting some rest and make those long bus, train or plane journeys much more comfortable. You can attach one to the outside of your bag or stuff one into your carry-on luggage to have it easily accessible.

EAR PLUGS

If you can’t fall asleep listening to music or it’s too noisy wherever you are then ear plugs will help block out whatever noises are around you. Coming in several different sizes, having your own personal pair will be a useful tool to help you sleep.

EMPTY SPRAY BOTTLE

Obviously, summer can get stupidly hot. Whilst a fan would help keep you cool there’s also another option. Having an empty spray bottle on your person can help keep your skin from drying out all while getting a refreshing spritz of water to keep you going. 

FANNY PACK

If you’re not looking to carry a lot with you as you’re out and about then a fanny pack is the perfect solution to keep all your essentials close. Whether you want to wear it around your waist or over the shoulder, this is a fashionable way to keep your hands free.

SUNSCREEN

Make sure not to overlook the power of SPF this summer by always keeping some sunscreen close by. Ideally, sunscreen is not just for sunny days, but for any time you step outside. Professionals recommend you use a coin-sized drop to cover your face and neck. If you’re going swimming make sure to go for a waterproof option.

DECK OF CARDS

If you’re traveling with friends or want something to do with any new people you meet, a deck of cards can provide lots of fun. Many countries have their own card games so having a deck with you will open you up to experience more of a different culture.
