Even if you are a seasoned traveler, this list will help you tremendously. Why? Well, as a seasoned traveler, you’ve gotten into a routine, and while you think you’re all set, you might forget something without double-checking your luggage. That’s why this ultimate checklist will be quite handy for you as well.

Without further ado, let’s get to our ultimate checklist, so you never forget your travel essentials.

1. The Ultimate Essentials

When preparing for your trip, make sure you’ve packed the essentials which will help you arrive at your desired destination. If you do not have these packed, there is no trip.

• Passport
  This is something you should have with you at all times. Not only during your transportation but also during your stay.
• Ticket
  We believe this is quite self-explanatory. Make sure you have your ticket with you.
• Travel Insurance
  Never travel without travel insurance. You never know what might happen during your trip, so it’s best to travel prepared.
• Debit/Credit Card
  Carrying all your money with you can be quite unsafe. So it’s better to have some money on your card, just in case.
• Money
  Make sure you bring enough money with you, especially during your transport, as you might have some additional expenses you did not know about.
• International Driver’s Licence
  If you’re planning to rent a car during your stay, make sure you bring an international driver’s license with you.
• Prescription Medicines
  In case you’re using any, be sure to bring them with you.

2. Medical Kit

As we’ve mentioned before, you never know what might happen while you’re abroad. And in those situations, the last thing you need is to run around an unknown city looking for a pharmacy. That’s why it’s best to pack in advance.

• Bandages
• Sticking Plasters
• Antiseptic Wipes
• Cream
• A medicine subscribed by your doctor for a headache or indigestion.

In case you are traveling with a baby, make sure you consult a pediatrician so you can make sure your baby has everything it might need during your trip.

3. Toiletries

If you’re planning to stay at a hotel or even an Airbnb-rented apartment, chances are you’ll find most of the needed toiletries there (soap, shampoo, conditioner). However, there are certain things you definitely want to have with you when you arrive.

• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Makeup
• Makeup Remover
• Comb
• Hair Bands
• Nail Clippers
• Tweezers
• Razor
• Lip Balm
• Aftersun Product
• Sun Cream

4. Clothes

When traveling, many love buying clothes in the city they are in. However, whether you love shopping when traveling or you want to bring everything with you, there are still some essentials you need to bring.

• Underwear
• Socks
• Bra
• Bikini
• Trainers
• Slippers
• Hiking boots
• Pyjama
• Pants
• T-shirts (Long sleeve/short sleeve)
• Jacket

You never know how cold it might get, so you better go prepared.

4. Technology

Whether you’re traveling to a place you’ve already been to, or you’re visiting it for the first time, you never know what you might see. You might visit a new tourist attraction, or find yourself in the middle of a city celebration. It’s only natural you want to capture those amazing moments, so it’s important you bring some gadgets with you.

• Mobile Phone
• Camera
• iPod
• Charger
• Spare Batteries
• Lap Top
• USB stick

Of course, there are many other things you might need there such as sunglasses, earplugs, or an eye mask. However, those things aren’t exactly essentials and the good thing is that you can buy them in the city you’re traveling to.

Make sure you go through this list before your trip, and that’s how you’ll be certain you didn’t forget anything.
