Whether you are travelling upcountry to visit your mother or just visiting a friend in a nearby town, you should always carry a few items.
Most people forget items like tooth brush. They only remember when they have reached their destination and they are therefore, forced to buy new ones or forget about brushing their teeth.
Apart from toothbrush, here are a few other essential items you should remember to pack while preparing to travel.
Towel: Unless you will be lodging in a hotel, you need to carry a towel. It is obvious that at some point you will have to shower. You need to use your own towel. You do not want to bother your host to buy a new towel for you.Tissue paper: There is high possibility that you will find a tissue paper at your friend’s place but carrying your own tissue paper is also important. During long journeys, the call of nature can come at a time and place where getting a tissue paper becomes difficult. During those times, your own tissue paper will come in handy. You can also use your tissue paper to wipe your shoes if the area you are going to is dusty.Money: There is nothing as dangerous as travelling without money. There are certain emergencies that only money can solve very fast. Also, you do not want your mouth to stay dry the whole of the journey while other passengers are busy gorging themselves on fried chicken and chips. You need some money even a bottle of drinking water.
Phone: You need to keep in touch with the person you are going to visit and the loved ones you left at home. You therefore, need a fully charged phone. Many people usually get lost along the way because they cannot communicate to the person they are going to visit. Your phone should also have enough airtime.
A few spare clothes: You do not know what might happen along the way or at your friend’s place. You might be forced to spend more days than you had planned for. Carrying spare clothes will help you a lot. Also remember to carry one or two vests and a number of underwear, depending on how long you plan to stay.
